NGT: The Browns QB situation

Sean : 9/9/2024 3:09 pm
A lot of talk about the Giants QB situation, but it could be worse. We could be the Browns. They recently restructured Watson in addition to his poor play. This has to be the worst trade and contract in the history of the NFL. Joe Flacco outplayed Watson last year. Mayfield is outplaying Watson by a wide margin.

I'll be curious when and if they go to Winston.
I remember

a bunch of pundits applauding the Browns for this.
What's worse is the Browns are loaded and a win now team

Obviously losing Chubb is a huge blow, but they have a top OL, very good WR and TE, great front 4, very good secondary and a top defense as a whole. They are literally a QB away from winning.

Watson's dead cap hit next season  
BlackLight : 9/9/2024 3:25 pm : link
pre-June 1st, is $172 million.

Browns ownership is probably doing a feasibility study for how they can frame him for murder and get out of the rest of his contract.
Oh yeah they are screwed

I still think the trade made sense for the (just talking on the field). They needed to take a swing at QB and he was young and very good. The contract is a killer though.

"Build the team first" does work sometimes. But sometimes it goes like this.
And the ultimate

Fuck you is seeing baker do well down in Tampa
The trade was fine, the fully guaranteed contract was absurd

Yes, they did

Watson's last year in Houston, he completed 70% of his passes for 4800 yards and 33 td's and ran for another 400 yards and 3 td's at near 9 yards an attempt. This is a guy who hit on better than 2/3 of his passes, threw for 13000 yards and 85 td's his last 3 years before going to Cleveland. The previous two years in Houston were comparable, so you are darn right, pundits thought this was a coup.

I don't know what is going on with Watson. Is it physical with his shoulder, game plan, personnel, play calling? He is not the same qb he was in Houston.

This. The trade was fine, I don’t think anyone could have predicted he’d look like this after a year off.

The contract was absurd for any player, even more absurd for a guy with the off field issues of Watson.

Was successful in Cleveland and won a playoff game. Joe Flacco outperformed Deshaun Watson and did so coming off the touch and lost their best offensive player in Chubbs. Watson hasn't done shit since 2020. That's a long time ago in NFL years.
