People are expecting the Cleveland Browns to look better in 2026, but no one is sure how much they’ll improve. However, some fans envision a very bright season with massive upgrades.
Writing for Bleacher Report, Brad Gagnon dreamed up the best-case scenario for the Browns in the new year. He thought of a situation where one of the potential quarterbacks in Cleveland has a tremendous year, the coaching staff fits perfectly, and the defense continues to deliver.
That could lead to a season to remember.
“One of the three quarterbacks in the mix to start grabs the job by the horns and the Browns make a surprise playoff run with said quarterback, an exciting new coaching staff and the best defensive player in the sport,” Gagnon wrote.
This is something that many Browns fans have been thinking about, too, and they hope that it’s in the cards for their team. While many of them are already true believers in the defense and have good feelings about the new coaching staff, the quarterback question is a huge one.
The Browns are still reportedly deciding who will be QB1 in the new year, with most analysts saying that Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders are neck-and-neck for the top spot. Once that is decided, fans will really be able to get ready and imagine what comes next.
There is no doubt that the Browns have done a lot during this offseason, from their signings and trades to their coaching hires and their draft work. There are many reasons to be excited.
However, it’s hard to make a team change drastically so quickly, especially when many of their competitors have been working hard too. So, it’s important to keep expectations in check.
A surprise playoff run would be the best way to cap off a comeback season, but before the Browns can even get there, they need to figure out who their quarterback is, how the coaching staff can handle them, and how they can keep their defense thriving.
