Two more games remain on the 2018 preseason slate. On August 23rd, the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Cleveland Browns. We’ve got everything you need to get you ready.

Many moons ago, the Cleveland Browns passed on Donovan McNabb. The Philadelphia Eagles took ‘Number 5’, and regardless of how things turned out in the end, you have to admit that worked out pretty well with that decision. ‘The Birds’ enjoyed tremendous success with McNabb at the helm, despite falling short of football’s ultimate prize.

Cleveland has yet to find a signal caller that they can hand the keys to their franchise to.

Now, flash forward. It’s 2016, and the Browns are again in position to find their franchise quarterback. They trade that pick, and the Eagles end up with Carson Wentz. The Eagles win Super Bowl LII despite Wentz’s absence, and the Browns have limped their way to a 1-31 record.

This past April, they passed on the likes of Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and Josh Allen in favor of Baker Mayfield. The jury’s still out on that one, but if history is any indicator, here’s what we believe has a strong possibility of happening.

Selecting Mayfield won’t work out, and about 16 years from now, Philly will find another franchise quarterback thanks in large part to an assist from the Browns’ organization.

The two teams meet tonight in should be a dress rehearsal for both of them. Expect the starters to go for three quarters.
