For Cleveland Browns fans who want to know why things keep going so wrong for their team...
For 25 years -- since the return of the franchise in 1999 -- Browns fans have been more consistently frustrated, befuddled, and disappointed by their team than any other fans in pro sports.
Why?
Sports columnist Terry Pluto (cleveland.com / The Plain Dealer) shares answers.
With insight and insider details gained from decades covering the team, Pluto looks closely at 2014 to 2024 and also back with fresh insight on earlier years of the new franchise: The drafts, the deals, the coaching and front-office changes ... the onfield disappointments ... rare bright spots and moments of optimism.
Above all there has was the ongoing, fruitless, endless search for the right starting quarterback -- from Tim Couch to Johnny Manziel to Baker Mayfield (and so many others!) ...
And then Deshaun Watson came to town -- in one of the most disruptive and disastrous deals in the team's history ...
"Browns fans deserve better," Pluto says.
