When General Manager Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski were paired in 2020 to run the football end of the Browns organization, it was not done so they could spend hours and hours and hours micromanaging the bottom portion of the roster and also the practice squad to try to find a few players who might someday be activated for a game or two.

It was not done so they could express their thrill in receiving a trade for a fifth-round pick in the next NFL Draft to acquire a player who would likely end up on that practice squad.
It was not done so they could give vague, incomplete and useless answers to important questions asked by members of the media whose job it is to provide objective news about the team, while at the same time going on the club’s daily in-house radio show and give full, insightful and revealing answers to those same questions to hosts whose job it is to shape the coverage to make the Browns look good.
It was not done so they could defend team leaders for off-the-field behavior that set a horrible example.
It was not done so the GM could be smug and condescending in his own public behavior.
It was not done so they could, without success, try to find someone — anyone — who could kick.
It was not done so the team they put on the field could get drilled by 24 points by a division opponent, and look bad doing it.
It was not done so the club could waste an almost historic defensive effort in which it gave up just 88 total yards over a spawn of four consecutive quarters — the last two of the Cincinnati game and the first two of the Cincinnati contest.
It was not done so fans could see what the team would look like if it appeared the players didn’t practice all week and if the offensive and special teams game plans had been concocted on the back of a napkin in 10 minutes.
It was not done so the team could be noteworthy only because of its long losing streak over two seasons.
And it was not done so the Browns, a team with a proud heritage over nearly 80 years, could be reduced to the point of being a national laughingstock and the target of humiliating jokes.
No, Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski were charged with something so much more important — that is, winning regular-season games, postseason games and championships.
So, how have they done in that regard?
We’ll look at that next.
