The best test of the worth of someone – or something — is the eye test.

The Browns certainly don’t pass the eye test. Anyone who has watched them this season knows that.
 
As for the numbers test, they also don’t pass that.
 
Take a look at the NFL standings – if you dare.
 
The Browns’ record jumps out at you immediately. It catches your eye – but in a negative way – because, at 2-10, they’re the only team in the league that has double-digit losses.
 
Only the Tennessee Titans, at 3-9, are even close. The Titans … ahem .. long ago fired their head coach, former Browns special teams coordinator Ken Wisenhunt. But I digress.

Their 1-5 home record is tied for second-worst in the NFL, behind only the Titans. And the Titans along ago fired their ….

 Now for the big question: Is team owner Jimmy Haslam willing to do something about it?
 
If not, then he flunks, too.
