Even if you're in that boat that supports the claim that Berry only makes the player selections and Stefanski only coaches said players (as their set assignments), it doesn't change the fact that Stefanski has had the opportunity to coach two 1st round selections at QB (1 of which was a top-5 QB and the other a top-5 QB shortly after he left) and has failed miserably to get Top 5 play out of either player.

Now, you can jump on that excuse boat of claiming players attitude, immaturity, off the field issues and so on contributed to the issue but how many HC's in the NFL have had two top 5 former or current QB's under their control the last 5-years and couldn't raise either players performance to that top 5 level under their coaching?

Now you can blame Berry for dumping one and acquiring the other as the problem but when does lack of coaching ability take accountability?

So, here we are on the cusp of another draft and FA. The Browns need QB's and a solid draft pick. They've acquired Flacco and Pickens. It would also appear that a 1st or 2nd round QB may be in the mix. If the Browns fail with these QB's again, who is responsible? Berry for not providing a top 5 QB or Stefanski because he can't coach them up? Even with the high draft pick, considering its documented weakness, have the Browns changed their former 5-year mission and vision of a must have a top 5 QB in order to be Super Bowl competitive? Have Berry and Stefanski now collaborated on having a top 20 QB as being sufficient to reach the elusive Super Bowl plateau? It would certainly appear so since their current crop (including the draft pick) has little to no chance of being a top 5 QB in 2025 or 2026, JMHO.

If that is the case, are the Browns not falling back to 2021 when they had a top 15 QB but determined it would never work - even though he was a top 5 player a couple of years later? This is why I've had little to no faith in Stefanski and Berry. When does accountability start for these guys, after another failure? Their history shows that failure is more likely than success! They're sporting a 5-year losing record (including playoffs) of 41-46 and must win 12 games this year to climb above .500 for 6-seasons. When is enough is enough?
