The , per usual, are bad. What's unusual about this season -- besides the fact that they're 0-10 -- is that they're not making boneheaded decisions to turn their already awful season into a long-term disaster. The best decision the Browns have made is standing behind their coach Hue Jackson. Yes, this is about to be a positive Browns article.A day after the Browns' to the -- a game that featured Jackson curiously benching for -- Jackson revealed that the Browns' ownership and front office are still incredibly supportive of him.Via " Salvador Perez Jersey Jimmy Haslam and Dee Haslam have been outstanding,'' he said Friday on a conference call. "Obviously, they don't like to lose, either, but I think they understand the plan and what we're trying to accomplish."I have total faith and confidence in them and the vision that we've created. No one wants to be sitting here in the position that we're in, but they've been outstanding to me."I feel very comfortable with where we are -- not where we are as far as our record -- I feel very comfortable as far as where we are in my relationship with them and how they feel about where we are headed."One more nugget from Jackson, via "I have a good staff who stands behind me. I have an owner who has been unflinching. I have executives in the front office starting with Sashi (Brown), Paul (DePodesta) and AB (Andrew Berry) who Justin Grimm Jersey have not blinked, and they get it. Are we disappointed for where we are? Yeah, but I think we also understand what we have to do in order to get this changed."What needs to change is the Browns need to begin acquiring and developing talent after spending the past decade doing the exact opposite. And here's the good news: They've already started. has turned into a legitimate receiver. The former quarterback entered the year with two career catches. He's caught 51 balls for 627 yards and four touchdowns this year. He's actually good, and he plays for the Blaine Boyer Jersey Browns! Furthermore, the trade to land from the gave the Browns one of the league's best outside linebackers. Now the Browns just need to convince Collins, who'll become a free agent after the season, to stick around for the rebuild.They can do that, because they're equipped to come out of this very dark period with a talented roster. The Browns are on track to land the first pick in next year's draft and they'll enter the draft with a boatload of extra picks due to trades -- most notably their decision to deal away the No. 2 overall pick to the .Here's all of the extra picks they'll have, 2017 Additional picks Philadelphia - 1st round (Trade for 2016 No. 2 overall pick)Tenne see - 2nd round (Trade for 2016 No. 8 pick)New England - 5th round (Trade for LB ) Picks surrendered New England - Conditional pick (Trade Blank Jersey for LB Jamie Collins)Philadelphia - 4th or 5th round (Trade for 2016 No. 2 overall pick)San Francisco - 6th or 7th round (Trade for P )Carolina - 7th round (Trade for P Andy Lee)2018 Additional picks Philadelphia - 2nd round (Trade for 2016 No. 2 overall pick)Carolina - 4th round (Trade for P Andy Lee)Pittsburgh - 6th round (Trade for DB ) Picks surrendered NoneThey still need to draft the right players, most notably their future quarterback, but they'll at least have that chance. And that's what their Jorge Soler Jersey rebuild will come down to: drafting and developing players. It won't come down to Jackson, who appears to be a competent coach and has a history of developing quarterbacks (see: ).After years of firing incompetent coaches -- Jackson is their fifth coach since 2009 -- the Browns need to commit to Jackson, even if positive results haven't materialized yet. Jackson might not win a game until his second season in Cleveland, but he deserves to stick around.That might seem obvious, but for a franchise that so often falls victim to dumb decision-making (taking in the first round after ), it's refreshing to see the Browns do the logical thing and exercise patience.In the meantime, Jackson should give Cleveland what it wants: the first pick in the draft and
