One way of looking at the Cleveland Browns as they embark on their 2016 season is it will be almost impossible for them to fall below expectations.

Quarterback Josh McCown may not be starting for the Cleveland Browns, but several National Football League teams could use him as their No. 1 quarterback.
Even more to the point, the Bears have a new offensive coordinator and the offense was terrible in the first three exhibitions.
He squabbled with Pryor during the game.
In Thursday night’s 21-7 win over the Browns, White showed flashes of the receiver the Bears envisioned when they selected him with the seventh pick in last year’s draft.
Cleveland Browns first-year head coach Hue Jackson is reportedly “concerned with the state of his team”, and coaches are concerned with quarterback Robert Griffin III’s ability to lead the team to success after seeing “serious regression” in the Griffin’s play in the team’s third preseason game, according to Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole. “You’re always striving for perfection and sometimes things happen, you’ve got to react, whether it’s moving on to another guy who’s open or throwing a better ball”.
Cole says the Browns will have their regulars play in the final preseason game and that there is concern about some regression from Griffin.
“I’m with Coach 100 percent, the preseason is the time for the coaches to evaluate”, Griffin said.
Browns: WR Corey Coleman made his first catch of the preseason, but the No. 15 pick also dropped a pass on a crossing route that had the potential to be a big play.
“Coleman”s head wasn”t spinning August 5 when he dominated a scrimmage the Browns held at their headquarters.
Targeted four times, he caught four passes for 57 yards, all from quarterback Brian Hoyer in the first half. “This game is about confidence and experiences”.
“If he doesn”t catch any balls, it”s just a matter of going through the process of going through another game, preparing, getting ready.
Schobert, who has taken reps with the first-team defense at different points throughout the preseason, said on Monday he’s ready for the next step.
Jackson seemed relieved to have the preseason behind him. He picked off Cleveland QB Josh McCown and set up a field goal with a return to the Browns’ 49.
While there have been some good things to take away from the first three preseason games, there have been a lot more aspects of the Browns play that needs improvement.
“I think we’re all confident (heading into the regular season) because we know what we’ve done”, Griffin said.

“It was definitely scary, for sure”, Gordon said. “We need to do a little bit better”. Tonight’s game has a prime time start time and airs on TV channels in some markets alongside being available on a live stream online option. The next year, he was an All-Pro selection. It is just the experience. “And this next game hopefully he gets another opportunity, he gets more comfortable, and he gets out there and loosens up, and he”ll be able to fly, I believe.”.
