no way


Last game with Texans was January 3, 2021

Since that game:

2022 - 6 games
2023 - 6 games
2024 - 7 games
2025 - 0 games

So 19 games in over 5.5 years.

When the facade was exposed it fricked him up mentally. Then he got hurt.

Don't worry Browns fans. This situation has a good chance of having a happy ending.

He was overrated tk begin with. That "elite year" was a lot. Of garbage yards.

Character absolutely matters.

Watson got the money guaranteed, and clearly doesn’t GAF.

Very few wealthy athletes have the internal drive to excel. Few and far between.

Those that do:

Woods
Brady
Mahomes
Nicklaus

Some who didn’t:

Spieth
Thomas
Cousins
Flacco
Jackson


I wouldn’t put Watson in the latter class mainly because the five I listed care and have class, they just don’t care enough to put in the work necessary to be elite.

Watson doesn’t care. There are a lot of professional sports who make generational wealth and frankly don’t care anymore.

He wants out of Cleveland any way possible so he plays like crap intentionally.

Hence his comments yesterday at the podium, just atrocious. Even if you really feel that way you don’t say it. I can’t even imagine how it would feel to get paid that much to just outright suck. He sucks at his profession, his personal life, integrity, he just sucks.

Bro seemingly has not played since he left Clemson….. that’s what it feels like.

I have not looked this up but is it possible Deandre Hopkins had a lot to do with Watsons early success? Once the Texans traded Hopkins for David Johnson’s corpse, I don’t remember Watson having any good results but I could be misremembering.

Watson's best statistical year was his last year playing in Houston, the year after Hopkins was gone.

You can’t be an all pro in the NFL and getting jerked off in back room massage parlors across the city. There’s only so much time.

Seriously though, he’s not smart. No way he can read all the defenses teams throw at him nor does he want to.

This would be an incredible lack of self awareness on his part, which I guess shouldn't be surprising. When his time in Cleveland is done, his time in the league is done.

I’m just glad Watson is black, because boy o boy if he wasn’t.
