Obviously? The Ravens are factually not an expansion franchise. You're not saying anything by pointing that out. So if it makes you feel better to highlight that in 1996 the coaching staff and front office at that time that is constantly turned over as is the nature in the NFL relocated from Cleveland to Baltimore, have a ball, buddy.
But you were making it out that the Ravens records don't start when they moved. And they very much do. The Browns' records, colors, logos, and history stayed in Cleveland. There's no connection.
