Why Cleveland was so quick to turn their backs on the QB that brought them their first playoff win since the Browns were rebooted I'll never understand.


Their locker room was shite and they thought the problem was Mayfield. It wasn’t.

The worst part of
It all is that the Browns gave him that contract AFTER all his crap came out… I knew he would be washed after all that stuff.

Much like his scandals, the only one getting a happy ending is Watson.

Aren’t they 10-5 and in position for a playoff spot despite Watson underperforming and getting hurt?

Perhaps Baker wasn’t a good fit for the team. They winning with backups

Think the Texans have the coach, the QB, and the anchor on defense will Anderson. Now they really build for a run

I keep saying they set themselves up for this without having some protection clauses. Maybe the agent should also take a bit hit on pay too.

It’s without a doubt up there. All the money and so far his only major contribution was the win in Baltimore - the game he was injured. I believe Bernie Kosar said he had similar surgery, and based in his experience Watson may never be the same in his throwing motion.

Flacco is so much better than him it’s not even funny. This team is good enough elsewhere to have gotten along with above average qb play. The lack of early round picks will catch up to the Browns eventually. Luckily, the picks they have had have worked out pretty well. The young guys having to play in the secondary and OL are doing a nice job right now.

As a Browns fan I’m just gonna enjoy the rest of this season with Flacco, whatever it brings. Wish Chubb wasn’t hurt. Nobody here really likes Watson. Not everyone hates him. But everyone hates the contract.

QB’s pay has been getting ridiculous for the service rendered or not rendered in this case.


MLB got the NFL beat for ridiculous contracts after Shohei Ohtani's deal.

I know injuries were a big part of it for both of them, but the Nats absolutely crippled themselves with the Strasburg and Corbin contracts.

Maybe not all but 25+ is pretty compelling.

Shocked the Browns didn’t/haven’t found a way out based on his transgressions.

Kinda makes sense why Baker Mayfield was so offended when they the Browns decided to go with Watson.
