Browns need to take a QB

Not exactly a sexy topic here in Super Bowl week and only my second of this blog, but what the hell..

    This off-season, we spent some time watching each and every NFL team again, trying to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses with players we might have missed in the rush of the regular season. The intention was to feel more confident in our analysis for what turned out to be our biggest player profiles ever.We spent more time on some teams than on others, and ev […]
