0-16 to Baker, Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb, Landry and now Odell LOL that is some crazy stuff.
Iann Hines Myles garret great too
Tanking works
The man who built the Chiefs, and they fired him
And no hue Jackson
Props to them. a complete 180 for sure
Unbelievable turnaround to be even having this conversation. Props to the Browns for once 🙌🙌🙌
this
I AM AN ELI DEFENDER BUT THIS MOVE IS FUCKING ASININE. YES ELI, I AM GOING SAY IT, ELI IS TIME TO PACK IN. THE GIANTS CANNOT BUILD AROUND AN AGING QB, WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE. THE ONLY PROBLEM OBJ HAD WAS THE QB POSITION AND I DONT FAULT HIM FOR THAT. OH WELL OBJ IS GOING GET TO PLAY WITH A YOUNG TALENTED UP AND COMMING QB. I FEEL BAD FOR SAQUAN BARKLEY NOW BECAUSE THEIR NOT GOING TO BE ANY MAGNET ON THE FIELD TO RELIVE ANY PRESSURE OFF OF HIM. THE DEFENSE ON THE OTHER TEAMS ARE GOING TO STACK THE LINE NOW, WTF.
Yeah there for sure making improvements at this rate they might just win 6 games!
Definitely!
That my cittyy
Remember when Stephen A. Smith said the Browns will never be better than his Steelers in 5 years? 🤣
season hasnt started lol
They gonna sweep the Steelers
He also the dude who belittled Jalen rose when he said the nuggets were better than the lakers. He just gets loud to justify his stupid points. He’s right maybe 25% of the time
u know good and damn well u agreed tho 😂 browns been sorry for so long no one ever thought they would be good
LA Clippers I mean.....the Steelers have been better than them for the past 20 years at the very least.....Browns ain’t nowhere to go up eventually......
Stephen a hairline built like the top of a stop sign 🛑
It's because his hairline is scared of his mouth.
This comment is 🔥 👏 👏😂 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No but it makes them AFC north champs, Stephen A salty the Steelers about to get swept by the browns 😂
It’s makes the afc north champs, when that actually happens. They’ve proved nothing. Just like with the Vikings they had a great off season last year and they had a worse season. Just having talent means nothing.
AFC east is the weakest division.Has been for the last 15 plus years.
Okay but are they gonna win the super bowl
Stxner Kenny
the
browns
will
make

playoffs

Charlie Harper its one of the hardest and toughest in the nfl...do watch on sundays...every sports analyst says it every week
SAS you labeled Dwayne Haskins a runner
Nobody cares about your football labels
Did he really??
@@jovanss2361 yes he did he said "he is not that good he is more of a runner"
@@jovanss2361 yes he really did. Look up "Stephen A Dwayne Haskins Runner" 😄
The funniest part of all was when twitter was killing him for saying that he then tried to double down on it and say that's he's entitled to his opinion from what he saw lol
it's just funny that he also had one of slowest 40 times of any QB..
Cleveland Browns are the new America's Team.
Everyone is rooting for them to do well regardless if that's their team or not. lmao after sucking for so long , they definitely deserve it.
Not everybody
Jets fans definitely not lmao...the fuck you talkin bout? Lol
Giants fan here, wishing Odell has a monster year.
JerichoFPS good luck Cleveland time to shine
Lol who? I forgot about them. Browns Will get their ass kick by chefs and patriots
Like if the Clevland Browns are going to the playoffs this year
I hope they win the AFC north
@@sway_9803 baker mayfield is the next drew brees
As A giants fan I almost had a heart attack😭😂😒
We going to the playoffs this year afc North is weak as hell right now i feel we got are division already.
Odell will be at a club
If the Browns had a kicker this past season they would’ve beaten the Steelers and Saints putting them into the playoffs.
And if the refs didn't have their heads up their ass, we would have beaten the Raiders as well.
yep. And also referees with better glasses we would have got in the playoffs
They also missed a kick against the raiders and ravens.
If I had a billion dollars I would be a billionaire. What you have is what you got. No ifs not buts.
@@TheSonicVoid that was the worst reversal I've ever seen
Coming from Baltimore Ravens fan... hard to believe but Browns are AFC North Champs .
But AFC still has come through Chiefs/Patriots
He’s totally afc north champs before the season even started you fans are honestly retarded
Exactly! The Chiefs will finish watch!
D. McBride J.D
that
is
right
Hell nahhh they ain't won shit yet!!!
D. McBride J.D I don’t think so...they have an average/below average defense and their coach is no one yet...I’d still take the Steelers to come out on top. Their AB and LB void will be filled and they will win the AFC north
I won't say they are Superbowl ready, but who in their division is going to stop them? They going to the playoffs.
I'm not a Browns fan, but I definetly applaud and respect their turn-around. Their fans deserve it. Watch out for the bandwagon OH, call them out when you see them.
Onyx Prime facts. 216
Onyx Prime James Conner
I’ve been a browns fan since I was born, and I am ecstatic because of what the team is turning into. I definitely doubt we’ll be in the super bowl this year, but with a few more years of building up, a super bowl is most definitely possible.
@@Z3nku1 been a browns fan since I was born to and browns are building us a winning team now without 0-16 we don't get baker I say 0-16 season was worth it now because the way we looking now.
I became a fan when they drafted my college QB last year and still had their losing streak. Never really watched the NFL before that, since I didn't have a team to root for. I'm definitely not in the same category as those who endured all of those loses, but I wouldn't call myself a bandwagon fan either.
Sadly, you're not going to be able to stop bandwagon fans, especially once the Browns start getting into the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl.
I’m not necessarily calling them contenders yet but it’s clear they have the roster to earn their way into the conversation this year
They definitely going to the playoffs SB not a chance not with Freddie Kitchens especially when you going against Andy Reid and the greatest coach ever Bill Belichick
John Dorsey for president 2020🙌🏽 change America around like he did the Browns
John Dorsey > #PresidentShithole and I ain't NO Browns fans!!
Yeah and then you will be cap hell in 3 years when mayfield chubb hunt and garret ask for the bag
@@Bairom06 , that's why you have tons of cap space and handle that BEFORE it becomes a problem.
@@Bairom06 Dorsey might not know much about the cap that's why Dipodesta is very high up in the Browns office. He is a legit numbers guru
Love this!!!
Molly is always talking over Max and Steven A
Anthony Pena she’s annoying AF. Imagine her in real life lol
Why tf is she even talking about football .. go make me a Sam which
Anthony Pena I Like It
Molly shouldn’t be allowed to engage the men in sports talk it’s to complex and manly for her small peanut sized girlish brain to understand.
She should be in the kitchen, doing housework or making babies because that’s all women are useful for.
More Molly .. less Steven A !
Coming from Hue Jackson, Kitchens going to look like Vince Lombardi :)
Why is molly always on Steven A side she’s supposed to be a moderator it’s like max is disputing with both of them
Bc she likes that black d
Well max is a complete moron
West bound Max is a beta male that just shuts the fuck up when Stephan gets loud,this show needs two alpha males.Shit imagine having Shannon vs Stephan all the time lol.
because this show is terrible
@@Airportris And Stephen A isn't? lmao get out of here.
Time for the Giants to get rid of Eli,Shurmer and GETTLEMAN
Best recieving and running core in the league
JUGGERNAUT KI11 no lie!!!
The Steelers did too
Nuts huh never thought I would see the day
Only if the OL is solid. Don't know about them.
Chosenxeno the Browns have a way better receiving core than the eagles lol.
Browns fans deserve to finally get a winning team and a chance to be AFC North champs!
Cris L
will
not
happen
Randall Gay its Cleveland which means something will inevitably go wrong
Oliver Lewis you a hater lol
The Browns are the 76ers of the NFL trust the process 🐶
All facts.
Gerald What’s that supposed to mean -Sixers fan
Sixers aint won yet
L I couldn’t understand your reply what were you trying to say
yes... a 20 year process.just go through it enough times to get it right.lets just watch belicheck put a group of no m
ames together for another run in the meantime
Calm down ESPN! Always having to jump to conclusions!
Lol just Max
Steelers still gonna wax the Browns and I'm not a fan
Next yr fantasy draft is gonna be ridiculous
Stay away from Bell
DreDaGr8$ Seriously tho. Lotta people gonna go too early like Chubb and Hunt, but a lot of people are probably gonna go too late like Kerryon Johnson, and James White. I gotta really do my research before next year’s draft
I think Odell makes a bigger impact for the browns than le'veon for the Jets... Browns more playoff built
Yea on paper
Super Bowl contender doesn’t mean they’re favorites to go to the Superbowl, it means they’re one of the best teams in their conference, so they have a good shot at a Superbowl (even like a 10% chance is a good one). So, yes they are a Superbowl contender.
Stephen A. can't even keep a straight face while saying the Steelers are going to win the AFC North lmao.
Molly personifies the entitlement of a certain kind of feminist. She adds literally nothing here, as usual, but she absolutely must be heard, must get attention. It is cartoonish.
It annoys me nothing to do with feminism 🤦🏾♂️.
It annoys me Hey hey, take it easy on her. It’s National Women’s Month✊🏻✊🏻🤣
Sexist !!!
Just kidding, women are only good for clapping that back.
Lucky Derrick Rose !!lol😁👍
@@devindeford4386 you cant avoid feminism
So they say the RB position has devalued over the years yet Stephen A says the Chiefs lost because they didn't have their star RB. It's a passing league right but what dominated the post season. Hard knock old school football. Running the ball and good defense. They don't want to pay them the big bucks. Average RBS come a dime a dozen but your Todd Gurleys, Zekes, Bells and Kamaras are special. RBS who can catch, line up at receiver and give you 1800 plus of total yards a season deserved to get paid and put some respect on their position.
So Lebron goes to the lakers and they become instant title contenders but the brown pickup Kareem hunt and OBJ and they still not shit according to Stephen A??? *inserts nick young confused face meme*
You can't compare the NBA to the NFL
Can’t even compare Football and basketball.
The Lakers were not considered title contenders at all
Stephen is Steelers fan, what u expect ? He been hating Mayfield from jump but no Browns fans is sayin Super BOWL. We said we gonna WIN the divison. That’s it, it’s fab of other teams saying Browns are SB contenders
Facts
Stephen A will look like a fool after this season.
He already does. This guy thinks he knows football but doesn’t. He still thinks the Steelers who lost Le’veon Bell and Antonio Brown in the same season are still contenders
Marcus Campbell I’m from Cleveland the browns will make the playoffs a four seed but the super bowl let’s not go over are head yet
L Steelers best days are past them. Martavis Bryant is no Antonio Brown, same with Connor and Leveon Bell. The defense wasn’t great, especially the cornerbacks and linebackers. Ben Roethlisberger is an int machine, especially in the red zone. The days of the Steelers being the top team in the AFC North are over
@@cuhnation That's right baby. Time for the Browns to shine again and run the AFC north for years and years. Tomlin is still riding Cowhers coat tails with Big Ben and when he retires Steelers are ancient history.
Go Tribe! 🙄
Molly needs to STOP TALKING.
Let SAS & Max do the debating PLEASE. 🙏🏾
It's not about that... but I do love to see Steve A. Smith always wrong.
He hates every time they mention Cleveland.
I'm going to really love when the Cavs get Zion or Ja Morant as a Cavalier.
I think what Greg Williams did with that team went understated. He should have been the head coach.
*As a Browns fan we have come a LONG WAY. Just asking wether we could make it to the Super Bowl or not just make us happy, considering we had 1 victory in 32 games the past 2 years. But those nightmares are over now.*
*LETS EAT DAWG POUND 🐶🙌🏾*
i love stephen a's iconic "timeout, timeout, timeout" when he wanna interrupt someone
49ers fan here, but I'm happy for all of the loyal Browns fans. You guys stuck it out through the toughest times of any team in sports and now the loyalty is paying off. Everybody has their time, and it looks like Cleveland's time is just about here.
CLEVELAND !! THIS ONE’S FOR YOUU !!!
Cleveland is going to win Division but not be Super Bowl contenders??? I thought that's what playoff teams were. If that's not the case what are we talking about? Top 2 teams, top 4 etc..?
If you make the playoffs you're a Super Bowl contender
@Sean Legghette You can't just say "that's not how it works" and expect your comment to be valid without explaining exactly _how it works._
@Sean Legghette yes that is how it works if you make it to the playoffs you were a contender for the Super Bowl come on think about it
It brings tears to my eyes to even have this conversation in the first place. :)
Damn being a Steelers fan myself I hate to admit it but the Steelers window has closed. SAS is your typical fan hyping up a bad team.
Molly don’t know much 🤦🏿♂️😂
Lol. I’m laughing at the Giants fans. As a Cowboys fan.
First time Max didn't call Baker a "Stone Cold Baller"
Obj missed 21 games and only played one full season. Obj is a glass house 'injury proned.. Look this up if u don't believe me
True. But, he is just too talented to leave on the table. If you can get him you have to get him. I mean, just on the dream that he does play a full season you are going to get some pretty Dynamic stuff if you have some good guys around him. I would love to see him have a few good years cuz he's very ridiculous sometimes and I'm not a fan of him but he is legit.
at what point do you just let that hairline go
Hector Fergoso lol I thought the same thing, if he still is rocking it now and keeping it clean cut. It’s like if he hasn’t gotten rid of it now then what’s considered time to get rid of it?
Is it weird I just read your comment in Stephen A's voice? 🤣🤣
Stephen A is obviously still in his feelings over the Steelers falling off
He right tho....plenty teams looked great on paper and turned into shitcakes during the season
Browns are 100% contenders... it would be hard for a coach to mess up with talent like that.. they are all ballers... afc north crown isn’t even a question... but they will have to learn real quick how to win in the post season when everything is on the line every game.
Steven A gave every steelers fan watching a hype speech at the end
Baker,OBJ,Landry,Hunt,Chubb,Johnson Jr,Njoku,Calloway, a super nice O-Line and we aint even talking about the Defense. CLE will get into the playoffs and let see how the thing run.
SAS: To be called a super bowl contender they have to proud it to me winning the super bowl. He can believe those Lakers gonna get to the WCF with Lonzo,Ingram,Rondo,McGee and Stephenson but cant believe on a loader Browns
Molly...SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Jesus
I’ve been waiting for this😂
Stephen A also thought Steve Kerr would be an awful coach. He also lost his mind at the lunacy of NY drafting Kristaps Porzingis....
The Browns blew 3 early games last year and could have easily been 9-7. They were in desperate need of a true no 1 receiver. But then there are the pieces they have added on the defensive line. And Kareem Hunt. This is a SB contender. The NFL has a lot of parody and things can change in a hurry. Stephen A running his big yap...what happened the last 17 years has NOTHING to do with this team now. Because these are all different players and a different coach. It's just cliche to act as if other Browns teams would bring down this one.
They talking crazy Superbowl contenders hahaha
Bruh I wished the cowboys got him. I wonder how sas would react
I see a first round or second round knock out. But it will be a close game in their playoff lost to whoever they face. Mark My Words!

ROB how bout chargers
Ima say it again, people gonna be upset once the Browns start winning consistently.
Molly, please stop interrupting just to say one sentence.
SAS was saying the lakers would be on the WCF without them being in the playoffs in the last 5+ seasons 😂🤣
Right, Stephen A. talks both sides out of his mouth.
Don’t come at Freddie Kitchens. Their offense improved dramatically when he began calling plays and the team loves him.
Tony Williams SAS thinks Mike Tomlin a good coach - don’t take him seriously 😐
Stephen A: Steelers are winning the AFC north
This is the part we're we all put our heads back and laugh
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Steelers aren't making it to the playoffs without leveon bell, without AB, when the Ravens are still a top team and the browns are now better than ever.
Remember when he said the cowboys wouldn't be good enough to make the playoffs😂😂
They weren’t 🤣 until they got amari cooper which he didn’t know
@@prod.davincitheangelboy5985 yea but then again i mean he had some games wit like 9 or 30 yards at the most
Last I checked Antonio Brown was a 6th Round pick.
Max said the Browns are loaded and the AFC conference is weak. Than don't blame it on the Patriots having a weak division when the whole nfl sucks. XD
I'll trade a nice hairline for Stephen's salary, any day.

Reporters will never give Cleveland teams their due....
Buncha haters bro.
Facts they laughed when lebron left, the laughed when we were 0-16, Now they Mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Fabyen Robinson I mean they kinda deserve some Critism because many of their teams are constant disappointments. I’m much more of a baseball fan so trust me when I say the Indians deserve all the hate they get. Basically handed the division every year and can’t do shit. Oof, I’m getting heated just thinking about it
@@ryanl9224 I understand your point but Stephen A is always talking about a stimulus package and now he's bringing up the lack of playoffs we've been to. Just let us have our moments since it seems to be so few of them...
@@Gabrielle2SexC0014 100!!!
So if this was the Steelers they’d be super bowl contenders. Don’t hate because it’s the Browns?
@1:52 Molly’s so proud of herself bring up the fact that Cleveland has had over 20 QB changes like she knew that stat before hand when really she’s just repeating what she heard 🤣
No more Cleveland Browns hello Cleveland Blondes
Yo anyone got a rope real quick ?
😂 lol! Sorry buddy
Sorry, sold my last one to a Steeler fan.
Jussie Smollett could probably hook you up.
I'm a browns fan, I agree with Stephen A in this. We have to prove it
THANK YOU STEPHEN A FOR SPEAKING SOME TRUTH!!!! People acting like the Damn browns are already set for a super bowl.
They got really good talent, they are playoff contenders not just Superbowl contenders yet, when Brady retires then they can be tested for that
Like if the Cleveland Browns are the biggest threat to the patriots to win the AFC an make it to the Superbowl
And then slap yourself
Chiefs or the Colts are
Tevin Prejean ever heard of the Chiefs, Chargers, and Colts?
Stephen A hairline won’t make the playoffs either!!
Wack
Super wack..Stephen a jokes getting stale. Hell when he jokes about himself as well then all other fall flat unless it's a super roast but none lately. People just atake a sentence he says or topic and insert hairline joke here........the wah wah wahhh..try again
Damn yal taking this shit personal, it’s ok 🤣🤣🤣
1:59 Molly teasing us all...you a baddie molly
Stephen a so dumb Kareem hunt didn’t cost the chiefs a championship the chiefs defense cost the chiefs a championship
The browns will definitely win the afc north I will bet money on it
At the end of the day with those hyped up teams, the patriots will be waiting patiently for their next Super Bowl contender.
MAX KELLERMAN I HAVE NEVER AGREED WITH YOU BUT AS OF NOW WE COULD BE BEST FRIENDS!!! LOVE IT!!!
QB of the browns is about to be the most selected position in madden
Everytime molly talks there like yaaa not today and talks over her lol
Max schooled Stephen A on this one. The Browns are loaded. Only question is head coach
Steven A. is really going to go hate hearing about Cleveland for next 3 to 4 years.

#Browns
We need Max to be angry every show. This man was just roasting people today 😂
Never thought I'd say this but I agree with Max 100%. I woulda thought he would be the one saying the Browns can't win their division.
He wanted to say "Freddy Tiffany! Internationally known!"
I love how Stephen A mentions the that the Chiefs would’ve beat us if they had Kareem Hunt but didn’t mention the fact that we were also missing Josh Gordon. Leaves it out because he knows they wouldn’t have won had we had Gordon and they had Hunt.
As I'm watching this the Rvaens signed Mark Ingram & Earl Thomas.
John Green they gotta start prepping lol
Ravens need more than that.
There've been many "dream-team" teams not make it to the SB and the ones that did lost to soundly-structured teams. Last year's SB was prime example and it wasn't even close. It's the collective NOT individual players that win the SB yet no one wants to copy NE's model.
i think the question should’ve been Can the browns make a deep playoff run?
As a Giants fan, how can you say this Browns team isn’t a Super Bowl Contender
What does that acknowledgment have to do with being a Giants fan?
As a fellow New Yorker I said this a couple a weeks ago, I knew the giants should and would trade Odell, of course he’s good for sales for the giants and the NFL on his image .. because he’s an entertainer and that’s about it..his best year was his rookie year his sophomore season was damn good and that’s about it , the rest is all talk and flashes of what should be consistent. The best ability is availability , He has the talent but after that catch he settled for his image off the field and that’s good. But from a football mindset the giants made the right decision . And that’s the truth ,this year we’ll see what he’s made of no excuses
I find it so confusing why Molly interrupts whenever she has something to say, but no one stops talking. They just talk over her and barely acknowledge what she says. If they don’t want to include her, why does she randomly jump in
Justin Houston to Pittsburgh pls - Steel Curtain - He is a leader for the young LB and will relieve pressure on the secondary...
As a lifelong Browns fan we cannot put the cart before the horse, a team win a Super Bowl not a roster.
Man Browns have so much talent, and still have a lot of cap space and picks to add to it. They are undoubtedly the AFC North favorite, which makes them de facto contenders
