I am actually a bit of a Browns fan, but nothing suggests they can turn things around like suggested in that kool-aid drinking article.
This is a microchasm of the Brown ineptitude since they re-joined the NFL..
"Including his signing bonus, the Browns paid the running back -- taken third overall in 2012 -- $13.8 million for what amounted to 17 games."
New "regime" or not, this club is what it is until they prove otherwise....inept at the game and business of football. Saying otherwise is both disingenuous and flat out wrong.

Has any team drafted a franchise QB with a top 5 pick? Umm, yes. Just a couple of times.
Has any team drafted an elite player with a mid to late round pick? Hmm, yeah once or twice.
Has any team drafted a starting RB in the 2nd - 4th round? Let me think, yeah that's happened a few times.
Bitch about past execution all you want, the fact is that making that happen is not at all unrealistic for a team that holds the picks the Browns will hold.
Oh and say "Hi" to Arian for me, the guy signed as an undrafted free agent.
