I think you are failing to understand what I'm saying. You're backed up at the 10 yard line, with enough time left, if you go three and out. Punt the ball, you're giving the team likely great field position and enough time to put points on the board (which is what happen).
Dude, there's a lot of high percentage plays to run, one's that are safe, to at least move the ball. See if you get any momentum to run plays or kill the clock.
You're on the 10 yard line, not the 5, you don't risk a safety unless you're just a really stupid QB. I think a 36 year old veteran that's playing well deserves the benefit of moving the ball in that position.
To think no team at all in the NFL would do that is blatantly silly.
Compare the Browns to the Patriots? Um, exactly where did I say that. I said to think a team like the Patriots, Packers, you know GOOD teams would say "hey were are up 13, with over a minute left, let's just run the ball and get out of here" is absolutely funny.
