Calm down, bruh.
No one is saying it's THE reason. No one's saying it's a bigger reason than Kitchens + Baker. We're just saying it helped. It's revitalizing. I say that from experience myself - being in a locker room with guys who are passionate vs. not passionate.
Hell, that goes with any job to be honest. We can disagree all night and day about how much impact it had on the W/L column (which would be fruitless), but to act like his passion is completely meaningless is another thing entirely. I'm quite perturbed that this is so difficult to grasp.
It didn't help though. That's my point. The proof is in the pudding. Landry was acquired in March. He was in the building for six months before the season ever started. He was there for OTAs. He was there for minicamp. He was there for training camp. He was there for the preseason. The team had a long time to absorb his "professionalism" and "passion" and what did they do (same for Tyrod if we're being honest)? They started 2-5-1 and looked like the same shitty old Browns from the previous 20 years.
If Landry's "leadership" actually had as much of a positive impact as some of you guys claim, it would have manifested itself among the group a lot sooner, would it have not?
Every single pass catcher on the team looked like shit (besides Higgins) before Kitchens took over. How on earth would that be the case with Landry teaching these guys how to be professionals and how to be winners?!
It's just nonsense.
