Browns fans are a confusing bunch.

The Browns Board
219 25 9.2k 1
  • People are harping on us giving up so many picks for little gain in QB ability (by certain stats).  But how much better were Matthew Stafford's stats over Goff's on the day before the trade?  

    The Rams felt that Goff wasn't good enough to win the Super Bowl with.  So they traded for Stafford and proved that they were right.  (and THEY were the team that traded way up in the draft to DRAFT Goff)

    We are / were in the same boat.  And Watson's stats, on a worse team, are much better than Baker's.  

    Tom Brady recently said in an interview, "You can't wait for the Super Bowl to come to you.  You have to make it happen".

    this is bs. Everybody has their own opinion - the browns didn't "try to bring a franchise qb here". Watson can play, he isn't a star qb, he is a cancer, and apparently a sleazy in trouble with the law asswhole. The browns want to bring a winner to clevelad? then WHY give up THREE FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICKS for this garbage reputation? Why alienate about half of the fans who can't and won't support this jerk?

    I've been to Browns games before I was born. As a kid, I went with my Parents to see the browns play pittsburg in an exhibition game vs the squealers. I"ve watched Browns seasons through so many coaches. Decades and decades.

    Columbus Crew soccer fans protest Browns trade for Deshaun ...

    The decision by Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam to trade for former Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has led to a backlash among fans of another team they own, the Columbus Crew.

    I watched Blanton Collier teach kids how to pass a football in a video back in the day as a kid. You judging fans who don't agree with you is stupid.

    The haslams doing this - was NOT for the fans or the team, not for winning. It was for going woke with the NFL. Seriously, they draft this "scumbucket" ? then they sign two other qb's who ....are all black.

    If the browns had traded two first round draft picks to draft say, PIckett? and traded Baker? I'd be fine with that.

    This was a slutty move by the Browns.

    Yup, they have that fine upstanding QB Josh Allen that Cal has always liked. 

    Sure, we should just draft another QB, wait for a couple of years for him to turn into the next Tom Brady when our window will have closed by the time he's ready. Our drafting QBs has been so stellar, let's roll the dice on another one. Quinn, Johnny Football, Weeden, Kizer, Frye, and what is it? 22 other flops? 

    Berry's opinion is the Browns time is now, and he saw the same stuff Tia has been posting for months regarding Baker.  If teams out there thought Mayfield was a sure fire slam dunk starting QB in the NFL, they would have no hesitation picking up his $18 million for a mid round pick, and a performance escalator in the 2023 draft.

    It really shouldn't be debatable on the field that Watson is superior to Baker Mayfield. It just isn't.

    But I can't discount a lot of people on here's apprehension about adding Watson. The off the field stuff isn't over yet, and this move could still blow up in the Browns face. I totally can understand people not getting on board with this move.

    the only thing i kinda disagree with is when some day we do draft a QB are F.O will make the right pick

    Why am I not surprised that an alleged man who takes another man's name is backpedaling like a bitch when the offer to meet up in person is offered?

    For once in your life, crawl out from that keyboard you hide behind, stop being a pussy, and let's see if your ass can cash the checks your mouth writes.

    So, where are we meeting? How about the Royal Oaks. I'll even buy you some killer BBQ.

    Well time to play nice boys and girls. 

    When they talk about honestly leaving the keyboard boxing to meet me behind the local McDonald's I always remember......

    ....... I'm getting too old for that crap, I just will look in my gun stash.....that generally ends things.  We then go in and have a happy meal.  Eh ?  .  😆

    I think it's a lot easier to be on board if one, like me, had come to the conclusion that Baker makes some bad decisions (and frankly, selfish decisions) on the field, high passes, etc.  If one were a Baker Bro, and felt that it was his injury(s) that was the reason he made selfish and/or dumb decisions and his constant high over your head passes, then one wouldn't be on board.  (is it me, or does that sound like something Gipper would say?)

    Believe me, I understand it's a large risk.  Three friggin' first round picks...gone.  And uncertainty about the 'potentially great' player.  But Heck, we've probably blown that many 1st round picks in 4 successive drafts before.  🙂   Although Berry so far has a good track record.  

    To me, the QB position is just that important...it's always been all about the QB.

    Oh, absolutely. I had no problem moving on from Baker before the Watson sweepstakes started, and in my head they, without a doubt improved with Watson. Honestly, though, I just wish the improvement would have happened with someone I didn't feel dirty about. The idea of rooting for someone who might be a complete piece of garbage bothers me, but then again, there's always been something strange about the timing of this whole thing. (Watson demands trade and BOOM this comes out of nowhere). I mean, I'm not naive, I don't need to love every player on my favorite teams, but I also won't sell my soul so my favorite team can win a few more games. I just wish I knew what the truth really is on this.

    That's pretty much it you need to have a franchise quarterback to be a serious contender.......and you go from there. 

    It starts and ends right there. 

    ........edit add,  you just don't want to wake up one Sunday morning and find out that our Cleveland BROWNS  starting quarterback really is some kind of perv, with video to prove it.  OMG !    😮

    ...it's not completely foreign to us, having had Manziel on the team...but yes, I hear ya!  So let's hope that he didn't do anything stupid in the message rooms and we can all get past this.  We currently can hope anyway.  After all, it's a done deal.  He's here...the picks are gone...the Browns moved and became the Ravens and THEN won a super bowl....it's the universe we're assigned to.
