I do agree with you on the JJ method. I don't think enough teams just blow it all up and start over when it seems clear they need to do exactly that.
I did do some looking back for the tanking just to see if there was another team I couldn't remember and did notice a bit of a pattern in teams truly turning their fortunes, or so it seemed. I want to revisit it but it looks like teams that took their LT in the top 10 and then took their QB in the top 10 within the next two seasons had the most luck in actually flipping the script.

The proper move for the Browns would be to blow the team up. Trade Myles Garret for 2 future first round picks and suck in 2025. Then trade for even more future draft capital. But teams don't just do that in the NFL very often. Almost nobody goes into the offseason and says hey we are going to trade everybody who has value and suck.
