Watson Suspended for 11 Games and Fined $5 Million / and a bit OT and back.
-
Ya know... I get this ugly feeling Watson is gonna end up like OBJ here and simply "not fit". He looked totally uncomfortable and out of place in his appearance the other night... He even looked disinterested in what was going on... I think his mind is every place else but on Football right now.. This is gonna end ugly... I'm just feeling it.
So I finally watched the game tonight and I couldn't agree more. Watson looked like he wanted to be anywhere else in the universe but that field. His eyes looked glazed and he was emotional less.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I have not paid much attention to Watson and the only games I've watched him in were against the Browns, with maybe 2 or 3 others that I watched as a casual fan and maybe that's his normal look, but man, dude looked fireless.
....... are you ready for some football?

Phil Sims.. "D.Watson looked 10 lbs. heavier" ..
I didn't really notice until, some side line views came out in the all 22 of the game..

Supposedly Watson said he would accept 8 games. But that's not good enough for the league.
I say, if it's more than 6 games then give the league the middle finger and take 'em to court. As it is, 6 games is probably enough to put the season in the dumpster but there might be some slim chance at a playoff run. Any more than that and the season is trash anyway. I mean, we're not talking about a RB or a WR. We're talking about the most important position on a team. Now, I understand that whether it's a RB, WR, or QB, doesn't mean that punishment should be different between them.....but they're jerking the team around when it affects the most important cog in the machine.

I'm sure he would.
But I'd be shocked if the NFL went through all this just to tack on 2 games.

I'm with you. I was more focused on his demeanor than his appearance, but looking at some video after watching the Simszezz interview I see it.
I'm guessing there was a Mickey Ds near the massage parlor, er, massage therapy office.

No Mickey Ds…he was at Happy Ending Burger!

Has Mr DW figured it out yet that he doesn't need to put up with all of this hassle ?
The Cleveland Browns have guaranteed his future of being a rich player no matter what he does or how he performs or even whether he's in shape or not.
He hasn't played in forever and is facing even more real NFL hitting and action to be lost. This in a game where not being 100% sharp is so crucial.
Bottom line the BROWNS are screwed.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

I've always enjoyed Phil Sims as a opinion-tive straight shooter..(unbias on many players) Bill Parcell's coaching/tude has taught him well in his next job career... Sure he's got haters (players included) But when I look for QB opinions? He's not been short on his words or opinions... I hope he's right on Brissett..?(high praise from Phil in video) former Colts coach Chuck Pagano has spoken highly of Jacoby Brissett also..Brissett replaced Peyton Manning.. Knew not a play when he was acquired..
Might explain the many Watson Hoodie looks at Camp?
ok, that's enough piling on penalties

The Browns traded for Watson five months ago today.
It's been a smooth ride, hasn't it?

I wonder if Jimmah is having buyer’s remorse?

I was hoping for 48 games, maybe only 18.....but that wouldn't have seemed fair. lol
the three first round picks will surely never come back.
but, maybe........................

Must admit I am surprised that DW and his team were willing to settle for this.
Now I suppose we trade for Jimmy G. Can't imagine we're sticking with Brissett for 11 games. Or we just field one of our RBs as a QB, and they just hand the ball off to each other every down.

It is important to let this play out.
Things to note:
The owners are not subject to the CBA which this falls under.
The gambler is not subject to the Personal Conduct Policy which this falls under.
The PED user is not subject to the Personal Conduct Policy which this falls under.
The ball deflator is not subject to the Person Conduct Policy which this falls under.
All those comparisons are not applicable in this instance.
However, all of those comparisons are applicable in the court of public opinion.
The MOST notable legitimate comparisons are Big Ben (1 accusation - 6 games) and Zeke Elliot (1 accusation - 6 games)
Sue Robinson's quote "Egregious misconduct"
I think this will be upped by 2-6 games and he will be fined and he will be required to attend counseling (which he should do regardless).
The NFL won't want to look weak, but will not want this drawn out all season again. So they won't go for the full season, but they will increase it. But not by so much as to draw appeals from the NFLPA.
8-12 games.
IMHO

JG is a decent game manager who can keep errors down when facing teams he's supposed to beat. Anything need-to-win and he shows why his contract is pretty wildly overvalued. I would really only trade for him if 49ers are paying some chunk of the contract --- we can go 6-5 with Brissett just as easily as with JG and have money left over to get a C or another WR/DT/etc.

His first game back is against Texas. How befitting. After his suspension is lifted his troubles are just beginning.
