These four truths were learned as the Cleveland Browns search for someone to head up their football operations as a result of the firing of Sashi Brown.

Sashi Brown was fighting an uphill battle ever since the 2016 NFL Draft.

All he had to do was take Carson Wentz, the highly touted quarterback out of North Dakota State, and he’d still be employed.

No, Wentz probably wouldn’t be an MVP candidate, and the Browns would’ve be contending for the Super Bowl in just his second year as a pro, but chances are they wouldn’t be 1-27 either with Brown as the team’s vice president of football operations.

The analytics didn’t favor Wentz. He didn’t have enough pass attempts. The Browns would be better off trading down and collecting picks.

So, it’s what the organization did…and they still haven’t recovered.

Brown buried himself 20,000 leagues under Lake Erie by bypassing Wentz, and he never came close to breathing air again.

He took a shot with DeShone Kizer, and while the Notre Dame product is a good prospect, there are severe accuracy concerns, which may prevent him from becoming the franchise quarterback some thought he could be while he was with the Irish.

Now, Sashi is out, and the Browns are looking for a new football boss, who will hopefully be the one to land that elusive franchise quarterback.

Meanwhile, the Dawg Pound is left to ponder these four truths.
