As I said before, one of my buddies at work believe that the Browns would have probably beaten Cincy and Miami with Winston starting, which would have killed their draft placement.
At some point, we need to start having football real conversations. They went 0-3 facing the #3, #8, and #4 defenses in the NFL and they were competitive 2 of the 3 games. The Bengals had one of the worst defenses in the NFL this season and the Dolphins defense declined the last 5-6 weeks of the season, giving up an average 250 yards passing per game and multiple pass TDs per game, while being bad on offense. The Dolphin best game on pass defense during that stretch came against the Browns and Robinson. Crap, during Winston's starts, we are the only defense that the Browns faced that wasn't a top 10 defense and he torched us. If you think the Browns beating the Bengals and Dolphins "is almost certainly not true," you weren't watching football this season.
