One cleveland.com reader says Phil Dawson is the best Browns' player since 1999. (Joshua Gunter/ The Plain Dealer)

In response to the story Phil Dawson signs with San Francisco 49ers, ending his 14-year run with the Cleveland Browns, cleveland.com readerbluebengal says good luck to Phil Dawson.
"GREAT for Dawson. He deserves to have an opportunity to play for a contender at the end of his career. He goes down (this is SAD) right now as the best player the new Browns procured since 1999 as far as longevity and consistency. How sad is that! Joe Thomas will replace Phil if he plays another 4 years at his current level."
