    They're not quarterbacks and better at their position than Baker was at his. No GM totally flips a squad but they get their own QB generally

    Keep moving those goalposts.

      No, a GM getting rid of someone because it’s not “their guy” is a straw man argument.

            Ya, Josh Gordon smoking some weed is the same thing as 22 people saying you sexually assaulted them.  

            "Holier" than thou. Ya, I am. Mainly because I've never been accused of sexual assault by 1 woman. Let alone 22.

            Let's give up 3 1st and god knows how much so the next 22 can accuse him of the same thing when he pays these ones off. 

            There were plenty of guys that could have pushed the needle for that kinda price tag. 

            If he wasn't a QB with some numbers, he would be a footnote on this league

            Screw this guy and Haslem. 

            Yeah...I noticed how you picked out Josh Gordon to make your point but not Albert Bell who ran over kids or Jim Brown who probably been beating women for decades...

            I just saw a friend I know post this hypocrisy and I know he voted for Trump.

            Your points are weak...if you were that much on a pedestal you should've stopped watching the league a long time ago

            You don't know what happened nor do i...all we know is that the court said Bye....didn't even arrest him..like Kareem Hunt.

            I give up the picks....what has picks gotten us before?

            If he wasn't a QB with numbers he would be a footnote? Isn't that every player??lol

                Since Berry became GM the Browns have drafted very well. Before him, your point is valid.

                Here's the thing football-wise....Watson may be somewhat in the clear (civil suits pending), but Goodell is certainly going to suspend him. So if the Browns do acquire him, he's out for what, 4 to 6 games? So think of the worst-case scenario here- Browns go 1-3, 0-4, 1-5, or 0-6 and have no #1  draft choice in 2023, 2024, 2025 to help dig out.

                This risk-reward is stupid. They're possibly dumping Baker & his drama for Watson and MORE drama. 

                The franchise seemed to settle down, and now they may risk this? And alienating many fans? Jeez Haslam, you're a fool.

                Haslam is a fool.  And that’s why I sold my PSL’s a few years ago. 
                And to the people that are on here claiming they won’t renew their season tickets, I say BS. Until they actually do it, I don’t believe them

                I still, and always will, root for the Browns. But I sure as hell won’t give my money to Jimma again

                        Just stop with the holier than thou garbage with Watson. If he cleared by a court of law......then that's it. We as Cleveland fans have rooted for a good number of players in all sports who were by reputation and sometimes court...bad people (Jim Brown, Albert Bell, Kareem Hunt, Josh Gordon.....etc).  If you go to The NFL for your morals then grow up.....from the Patriots owner, Indy owner, Tyrek Hill......cheating, doping, rapes, racial disparities, vehicular homicides....Been in the NFL for decades. .I wanna win at all costs. That's professional sports....that's just reality. I ain't boycotting nothing...

                          You want Baker versus Holmes, Herbert, Burrows, Allen, Jackson....etc?? The AFC is nuts...new day.

                          Your frequent use of the word "hypocrite" is improper.  What you are babbling about is what you believe to be double standards.

                          If you bash Big Ben for his sexcapades but give Watson a pass, you are applying a double standard.

                          If you chastise Watson for molesting women while being a molester of women yourself, you are being a hypocrite.

                            And if you're on a sports board but posting regarding correct terminology then giving examples you might be a bored bitch...

                            Am I using "bored bitch" correctly? Should I use it in a  sentence for you?

That's professional sports....that's just reality. I ain't boycotting nothing...

                              Right on. Except that doesn't work for kids that look up to sports figures as heroes and role models.  We don't tell them its about winning at all costs.

                              Sounds like you lost some sleep last night.

                              Then people need parent correctly...Thats not on a athlete. ..We got Presidents and Supreme Court justices accused of sexual assaults. Aren't those the people we are supposed to have our kids look up to?

                              Not at all.....im happy af. Lol

                                    Just stop with the holier than thou garbage with Watson. If he cleared by a court of law......then that's it. We as Cleveland fans have rooted for a good number of players in all sports who were by reputation and sometimes court...bad people (Jim Brown, Albert Bell, Kareem Hunt, Josh Gordon.....etc).  If you go to The NFL for your morals then grow up.....from the Patriots owner, Indy owner, Tyrek Hill......cheating, doping, rapes, racial disparities, vehicular homicides....Been in the NFL for decades. .I wanna win at all costs. That's professional sports....that's just reality. I ain't boycotting nothing...

                                    That's not how morals work. You don't don't get to pick and choose where they come from. You get them from everything and everyone you experience.

                                      More baggage....with ALOT more talent. Will he be suspended? Maybe....but we only have a few seasons of the top time of players like Gareett, Chubb....Hunt. etc...

                                      You want Baker versus Holmes, Herbert, Burrows, Allen, Jackson....etc?? The AFC is nuts...new day.

                                      Look at what the last 2 Superbowl winners do.

                                      Fans just need to grow up and stop being hypocrites

                                      Your frequent use of the word "hypocrite" is improper.  What you are babbling about is what you believe to be double standards.

                                      If you bash Big Ben for his sexcapades but give Watson a pass, you are applying a double standard.

                                      If you chastise Watson for molesting women while being a molester of women yourself, you are being a hypocrite.

                                      What Ben did was very different from what Watson did. Ben actually followed a woman into the bathroom, stationed someone outside the door and raped her in the bathroom. Multiple witnesses backed the woman's claim.

                                      Watson may or may not have paid for a happy ending by massage providers who were so shocked that they had repeat appointments.

                                          Not for me, for the human brain. You are effected by everything you see. In fact, that's why you posted this topic.

                                          To try to reconcile the dissonance between the Browns signing a star QB and your personal problem with what the QB is alleged to have done. 

                                          It's basically denial, but I would suggest that there is a better way than denial. Dig deeper into the facts.
