Cleveland Browns expectations are high but attainable
By John Suchan
The expectations are high for the Cleveland Browns heading into the 2021 season but as long as they stay focused, their goals are attainable
Expectations are through the roof for the Cleveland Browns for this upcoming season. It feels a little strange, doesn’t it? For far too long, the Browns have been the butt of every joke heard around the world, and these last two decades of watching the Browns play games has been a test of our true fanhood for our beloved Browns.
But now we are in a place that is pretty foreign to most of us, that makes what we are discussing all the more interesting, doesn’t it?
The Browns had some lofty expectations a couple of years back after Browns quarterback, Baker Mayfield had a good finish to his rookie season in 2018. Some Browns fans seem to fear what happened that following season by going 6-10 overall when the Browns were a walking soap opera and had a first-year coach named Freddie Kitchens, who was way over his head as being a competent head coach.
After this past season’s abrupt turnaround by the Browns, going 11-5 and winning a playoff game under the direction of another first-year coach, Kevin Stefanski, we seem to be back where we were back in 2019. High expectations and the Browns being the talk of the summer again. But this time, rather than falling apart as a team as they did in 2019, the Browns have so many more reasons to continue what they started last season and bringing the Browns back to notoriety.
Let’s check out a few reasons why this season will be different, starting with the man calling the shots.
