New Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey is continuing his quest to say the most polarizing things as humanly possible. Days after inferring Sashi Brown was the worst, and that the roster is in shambles, Dorsey is now saying the AFC North (in 2018) is theirs for the taking.

Wait … what?

“I believe we have to be competitive in the AFC North and my total objective going into the ’18 season is to win the AFC North,” Dorsey said via Cleveland.com. “Anything else to me is unacceptable.”

This is “tough football guy” talk at its peak. I doubt a second or third place finish in the AFC North next season would be so unacceptable to John Dorsey that he would admit total failure, then quit.

This also happens to be a move (trope) new general managers and coaches use to rile up the fan base. While it almost always alienates players on the current roster, especially when Dorsey inferred the one Brown put together was awful, it creates a more positive outlook for season-ticket holders.

Oddly enough, it was Sashi Brown who left Dorsey a TON of great picks and a bunch of cap-space for this offseason, which makes his claim not all that hilarious. He's going to, maybe, benefit from the fruit of someone else's labor, then claim it his own.

Hooray!
