#Browns safeties coach Ephraim Banda started playing college football in his mid-20s. He worked as a bartender at night and slept on the locker room floor before AM lifts. The relentlessness and work ethic he learned from his dad has gotten him here.

Browns fans, stop and think about this: Youโ€™ve spent the day arguing over and reacting to the outcome of one game โ€” the decisions, the refs, why they lost, why they should have won. And this is the fourth straight week youโ€™ve gotten to do it. Welcome back to the real NFL.

The Browns are handling their QB situation correctly. Itโ€™s weird and a little scary, but they are. And, like a real NFL team, theyโ€™re focused on getting ready to play real games and not on figuring out who their QB will be Week 1. Bakerโ€™s time is coming. Just be patient.
