Sakset fra en laengere ESPN artikel omkring Browns:
"For my fellow stat nerds, the r-squared between turnover margin and wins is 0.43 over that span. For non-stat nerds, that essentially means 43 percent of a team´s win total can be determined by its turnover ratio. That´s a huge number.
So why is this important? Cleveland fans know turnovers have been a problem for some time, but that was especially the case in 2017. The Browns´ 41 turnovers were seven more than any other team. They led the NFL with 28 interceptions, which translated to a negative-28 turnover margin that was significantly worse than the next-closest team (Denver minus-17). The Browns have had one of the league´s five worst turnover margins each of the past three seasons. Comparatively, Taylor´s Buffalo Bills ranked no worse than seventh in turnover ratio and were bottom six in interceptions each of his three seasons. And yes, that includes last year´s infamous "Nate Peterman game" in Los Angeles.
DeShone Kizer handled a majority of Cleveland´s quarterback snaps as a rookie last season, and to say he struggled would be a massive understatement. He was picked off 22 times (six more than any other quarterback) and was off-target on 23 percent of his throws (second worst)."
Det er derfor raekkefoelgen forsvar foer QB giver mening. Nu hvor de andre ting er paa plads kan en gennemsnitlig QB som Taylor "forvandle" holdet fordi de andre ting er blevet sat paa plads (habile RB og WR i form af Hyde og Landry giver ham ogsaa redskaber som Kizer heller ikke havde). Men alle de INTs som Kizer sendte af sted har givet dem Mayfield som langsomt kan koeres paa plads mens Taylor er der samtidig med at de fik en enormt talentfuld CB til samlingen saa de kan goere deres allerede gode forsvar endnu bedre. Nu er alle forudsaetningerne der for at Mayfield og Browns kan blive en success.
