The biggest Browns question

Posted By: County Sports Network July 28, 2022

As with any team as training camps begin throughout the NFL, there are a lot of questions facing the Browns.

What about Deshaun Watson?

What about the quarterback situation overall?

Or the passing game?

Or the offense as a whole?

Or the defense overall?

Or the defense’s ability to stop the run?

Or rookie kicker Cade York?

Or any of a number of other things about the offense, defense, special teams and even the schedule?

Yes, there are plenty of good questions, but even with the fact they are important and need to be answered in a positive manner for the team to have success, they aren’t nearly as crucial as another one. In fact, it isn’t even close.

Indeed, this is the Browns question to end all Browns questions.

That is:

*Will the huge gamble the Browns’ top people have taken with the trade of three first-round draft picks to the Houston Texans for Watson, signing him to a fully-guaranteed $230 million contract and thus ensconcing him as not just the franchise quarterback but also the undisputed face of the franchise for years to come, pay off and take the team to where it’s never been, to the Super Bowl and then to a Super Bowl championship, thus making these people forever rock stars – heroes, icons, game-changers — in Cleveland/Northeast Ohio and throughout Browns Nation?

*Or will this gamble go terribly wrong, putting the franchise into a cavernous hole for years to come, making all those aforementioned top people the biggest scoundrels and knuckleheads forevermore, and possibly – just possibility, mind you – eventually causing Dee and Jimmy Haslam to have to consider selling the team because they will have become as hated around here as some guy named Art Modell?

Most issues in sports and even life are not clear-cut – there is a lot of gray area in them – but this one is exceedingly more clear-cut than any other in Browns history dating all the way back to their beginning in 1946.
