Yes, the Browns are on the road to 0-16, but what did fans expect after getting rid of all the veterans and going with youth. All the departures of veterans like Alex Mack and Mitchell Schwartz, along with injuries, have murdered this Browns team like no one can imagine, but that was the plan all along.

The Browns got rid of all the baggage and big money players to invest in the draft, similar to the Seahawks, Raiders and even the Cowboys. The one big problem with this team hasn’t been the lack of talent, but rather the lack of experience.

You know you have it rough when you have 18 players on both sides of the ball with less than 5 years of experience in the NFL. Guys like Briean Boddy-Calhoun and Christian Kirksey are improving every week after getting the chance at major reps that they wouldn’t otherwise see. Just look at how guys like Danny Shelton have started to come on this year after some experience.

At this point, the Browns need to trust the young talent they have and realize that they have gotten thrown into action as rookies and they will take some time to improve. It doesn’t come easy but fans have to trust the process.
