The True Upside to the Cleveland Browns This Year

If you really think about it, how good do you really expect the Cleveland Browns to be this upcoming season?

They went 4-12, have a new regime, have no true proven quarterback, etc. They have a lot of things to figure out. A lot of it sounds good on paper but I need to see it to believe it.

Here are some upsides to the Browns if they aren't successful:

1) They won't lose sloppy.

Last season, the Browns lost a lot of their games in disgusting fashion. I would scream, curse, throw my remote controller, etc. It won't happen this season.

Eric Mangini will not let his team beat themselves, and by doing so, he will put everything on himself and the rest of the coaching staff.

If the Browns lose, it will be due to the mistakes made by the coaches, because every player on the field will be playing his heart out.

2) Eric Mangini will show all kinds of emotion.

During last season, whenever the Browns did good, Romeo Crennell was always smiling as if he just won ten dollars in the lottery. Whenever they did bad, he just stared at the field with a blank face.

Mangini will be nothing like this. He will scream out of anger, throw his headset to the ground, yet at lazy players, etc. Though he will show anger, he will also show other emotions.

On a decent drive that ends in a field goal, he will let his team know they did good by scoring. If they score a touchdown, he will do the same. He won't overdue it though because he knows he has a game to finish.

At the end of games, you will see his true colors. If he has a smile and he is congratulating his players, it means they either won or they played their hearts out and came very close.

If he pulls a LeBron James and walks right of the field, then he is disappointed.

3) It's a rebuilding year.

Yes Browns fans are very passionate and they want their team to win, but rebuilding doesn't happen over one offseason (Miami Dolphins excluded), it takes time.

If your a true fan, you will see the positive in the players progression and will know where the team needs to improve.

Don't get all worked up, Cleveland didn't sign an almighty coach to save us, at  least so quickly, they signed him to a three-year deal so he has two years to get his team ready for the final year in his contract.
