Aight for those who were here last year, you already have an idea on how this works. But i'll explain it again for those who want to play.

This cost no money to you guys. i repeat, no money. Last year's winner was ThatGuy. he getting a new Joe Haden jersey.

So here's the format.

W-L
QB Stats
AFC North Rec
Playoffs:

^^ this is the format to win the browns jersey of your choosing.

And browns fitted hat, snap back, or whatever kind of hat you request will be awarded for those who also pick which defensive and offensive rankings we finish at.

Offense: 7th
Defense: 6th

And last but not least, Predict the number of sacks we get as a defense. The one who predicts the right number, or closest to it, will receive a browns shirt of their choosing.

(don't be requesting stupid expensive stuff)

anyways, so lets start!! My prediction doesn't count toward this competition, but serves as an example on how to format the post.

This thread will be closed before Thursday Night's season opener.

W-L: 10-6
QB: Manziel, 3200 yards, 15 TD's, 12 INTs, 6 rushing TD's
AFC North: 4-2
Playoffs: Yes, no wins
Offensive Rank: 11th
Defensive Rank:8th
Sacks: 48

We are thinking along the same lines

W-L 11-5
QB: Manziel starts due to McCown injury early and Johnny finishes with 2700passing 18-10, He also puts up 500 rushing and 5 tds on the ground.
North 4-2 we sweep steelers and bengals but get swept by the rats
Playoffs yes
Offense ranked 16th
defense ranked 3rd
Sacks: 35

But I hope I'm wrong and a more optimistic predictor is right!

(My thoughts on the upcoming season, McCown becomes injured at somepoint during the season. Manziel comes in and leads us to a few wins to end the season and hurt our draft stock, but shows us enough to know he has grown and can be our guy at QB. I think the O will struggle for most of the season and it will be our D that keeps us in most games.)

Bonus for fun:
Crowell: 1032 yards, 9 rushing TDS (leading rusher)
Hartline: 52 catches, 782 receiving yards, 10 TDs (Leading WR)

I predict the Browns will play 16 regular season games this year. The QB's will have stats, we will have a record in the AFC north. We will not make the playoffs, and both our offense and defense will have ranks.
