I think this makes perfect sense for Cle. Why should they try to win 5 or 6 games when they can tank, load up on draft picks and rebuild like Indy did a few years ago when they Sucked for Luck. With Tampa imploding they need to try to get as bad as they can!

And I don't think Indy is that good to be honest.

I've never seen anything like this. They have playoff-quality talent and they'll be lucky to win 5 games.

Getting a 1st round pick out of the deal is a huge win for Cleveland.

you must have a trust in the abilities of the people making decisions in cleveland built on something other than past experience.

a first round pick in cleveland isn't the same as other franchises. they are the rht's of the nfl.

they would be 2-0 absent brain dead penalties on both sides of the ball. they make me miss the discipline of the raiders.

I took +300 on them making the playoffs before the season. I still think they have talent but giving away the first 2 games has me pretty well giving up on the bet.

File this under "hindsight is 20/20" .... Shrewd move to pay dividends.

I'd have to say yes, right?
