That's still absolutely absurd.

Aren't we bottom 5 in playoff wins? lol

No, we're 13th in playoff wins, but are #1 in playoff losses as the only team to reach 30 playoff losses (Cowboys are right behind at 29).

How much better was the Dolphins win percentage before the Tom Brady era?

I'm surprised the Cowboys are #1

I'd have to imagine it dropped off significantly after the Dan Marino era ended...actually looking at their records, I should clarify that it's after the vaunted Jay Fiedler (and former Viking) era .  In his 4 years they never won less than 9 games. Since that time, they've only been able to win 9 or more 5 times (out of 18 years).  So they were still pretty good early in Brady's tenure...it's only when they tried to upgrade from Fiedler and fired Wannstedt that they truly fell apart.

Well I don't know about Cleveland...

Talent-wise, they are now in far better shape than when they were drafting guys like Justin Gilbert and Corey Coleman.  The whole Watson thing is a different argument.  The PR hit they're taking is certainly something to behold, but I don't really blame them for taking the risk, since Baker really isn't a long-term answer.  His upside, at best, is probably our Kirk Cousins...and I'm not sure he could even be that consistent.

Depends how much he actually ends up playing for them. It’s not inconceivable that he doesn’t finish out this contract. Even if Cleveland doesn’t wind up paying all of it, they’ve emptied out their draft cupboard for the foreseeable future.

So maybe they'll just go the Les Snead route then.  🤣

The typical post-draft turnover under new regimes.  Haven't seen it yet, but I know he retained most of the staff, but it'd be nice to know who specifically did not stay, even though it probably could be deciphered by the new hires.
