I grew up a Bernie Kosar fan in the ‘80s watching Browns games at my grandfather’s house in Cleveland. I remember being relieved when Belichick got canned because he was the ogre who cut Kosar. It was like Del Rio releasing Brunell probably a year too early. I recall having high hopes for rookie QB Eric Zaire out of Georgia when he lit up the Bears in a preseason game, only to quickly fade into obliveon. To me that was the beginning of this long season of disappointment for the Dawg Pound.
