The Cleveland Browns are the unluckiest team in the NFL

"Never thought the great imabench wouldn't be able to take a joke. Hope loosing some self-respect was worth it. "There's a difference between telling jokes and flat out being rude, but judging from your reaction you wouldn't know the difference between that, would you? 1) On Field Performance"the Cleveland Browns, as you know, are in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL"Which is very unlucky for them. .. Only standing to prove why they are a very unlucky team. .. The AFC All Star Team despite their matchup still have a better record than what the Browns average in a season, making the Browns the unluckier team"The Browns have had some consistently weak players. They at least have an excuse for their poor overall record. "Except the Browns have had a great many opportunities to draft great players over that time span, and have failed to capitalize, making them very unlucky. (In response to the Browns being criticized before 2012) "Completely wrong"Actually its completely correct, the Browns have been heavily criticized for their performance and a variety of other issues prior to 2012 even though you deny such a thing. http://espn.go.com...http://sports.espn.go.com...2) Draft Busts"If anyone has had an unlucky history of drafting players then, its the AFC /NFC teams. "Except those teams actually have the ability to draft future Hall of Fame players, whereas the Browns cannot even draft half-decent players eben though theyve been given plenty of opportunity to do so. .. 3) QB trouble"The AFC teams have tended to feature a new quarterback every single quarter during a game"It's customary during All Star Games and Pro Bowl games in ANY sport for teams to cycle through their entire roster so that everyone on the roster has a chance to play. To claim that this somehow is a sign of weakness is simply semantical and desperate. The Browns clearly are unlucky when it comes to getting good quarterBacks, the AFC All Star team has had so many good QB's that they could switch QB's around at will during games and not have their performance be impacted.4) Schedule difficulty"How is this less lucky than having all-star players but still having a 3-5 record for the last 10 years"Its less lucky because the Browns have had the opportunity to have potential All Star players, foiled those opportunities year after year, and couldn't match a 3-5 winning percentage in 8 of the past 10 seasons. ..5) Arrested Players"Please. This isn't even the most in the NFL. "Then you should have picked an actual NFL team to argue for instead ;) The AFC Championship team has had far, far fewer players get arrested, making the Browns far more unlucky by this measurement6) Coaching issues"The AFC team was consistently stacked with the coaches & staff from the division runner up"Thank you for conceding that the AFC All Star Team consistently gets better coaches and staff than the Cleveland Browns7) Uniforms"A 2011 AFC Pro Bowl jersey goes for about $20"Not only are you cherry picking your own evidence by looking solely at 2011, but your own link features jersey's for the AFC Pro Bowl Team going for $50 to $70 each. .. In addition to that, the price for jersey's is not an accurate measurement of overall appearance since other factors, such as player name recognition and player talent, are what really drives the price for jersey's, not the overall appearance. Johnny Manziel's jersey is one of the top selling jerseys in the NFL right now and thats entirely due to the off-the-field drama that has surrounded him ever since the Browns first drafted him. 8) Stadium"Because when the Browns play at home you know they at least get some home field advantage from the fans. "The Browns get home field advantage and they STILL do worse than the AFC All Star Team 8 out of 10 times, meaning the browns are simply that much more unlucky. .. You also completely drop the point that despite the Browns stadium being newer, it costs the Browns far more on average to maintain than Aloha Stadium where the Pro Bowl is played at. =========================================================================- Con has dropped that the Browns have extraordinarily bad luck when it comes to drafting players- Con has dropped that Browns players get arrested far more frequently than the AFC All Star Team- Con has dropped that the Browns have been heavily criticized for their performance for much longer than the AFC All Star Team was- Con has dropped that the Browns have had zero luck in getting any good QB's over the past 10 years- Con has dropped that the Browns record falls below 6-10 far more frequently than the AFC All Star Teams overall record of 3-5 - Con has dropped that the Browns stadium costs are much greater despite being newer- Con has cherry-picked his own sources for his arguments and displayed poor conduct It is clear that the Cleveland Browns are more unlucky than the AFC All Star Team.
