    Your opinion means exactly zero to me Nickers. Hate on. After the season is over- if you're right, I'll congratulate you for your astute observation. And if you're wrong, you're never going to hear the end of it.  😁 

    Won't bother me one way or the other... We ain't winning no SB this year.. So it's moot...

    I don't need to wait 10 games... This dude is fucking trash...

    Looks like I don't need to ask "are ya sure?"  When I used to bust my dad's balls with that question he'd point to his mouth and say "READ MY LIPS!"  One time he took me and my brother golfing.  Key words in that sentence are "one time."  Anyway, I was in the fairway and my dad and brother we're just off it to the right where they were getting ready to hit.  My dad was up in front of my brother so when I just went ahead and swung the club - guess who shanked his shot?  Me.  Guess who got blamed?  My older brother.  So, here's the dialogue after my dad walked over to my brother. "HEY ASSHOLE - WHAT COMES AFTER 3?"  My brother replied 4.   My dad said "YELL IT NEXT TIME YOU JUST MISSED ME."  Our fishing trips to the 1000 Islands went a lot better.

    I love reading this thread, knowing the Browns are actually two games above .500;

    Its almost like, and I could be crazy, there are people on here who actually enjoy being miserable. 

    I'm probably wrong, though.

    God bless ya!  I was trying to eat soup when I read this.  Key word in that sentence is "trying" and I LOST.  If I ever make it to Ohio again - I owe you a freakin banquet.  That or some of that hot pizza you posted about.  

    How in God's blazes is this team 4-2?   The good news is the Browns have been working very diligently on understanding what targets downfield are teammates and what ones are not. They've also been trying to inform PJ that throwing across his body might get him replaced with Carson Wentz-wrong as early as next Monday.  The Salvation Army in Eastern Ohio has agreed to paying a very generous signing bonus if necessary.

    Stay tuned?  Why not, we're 4-2 by accident...

    It's a frustrating situation to be in. Especially at a time our defense kicks ass.

    If they keep playing at that caliber, we don't need an elite QB. Just someone who can keep the chains moving most of the time without mistakes. Colts pretty much only had to stop our run and we still went down the field to score. Even without penalties we were still moving.

    I had a shoulder injury that prevented me from doing pull ups or military presses, other than that I was fine. I imagine Watsons shoulder is absolutely limiting his throws even with whatever they inject him with. As I always say with my lifting or running injuries, it's best to just get the rest and heal in a short period than push it and create a chronic injury. If he was able to come in and try playing I'd say he's not far off from coming back. I'd rather him miss a couple more games than be out the rest of the season. 

    Who knows what's really going on though? In the meantime we need to find a QB we can lean on the rest of the season.

    That about sums it up.  Frustrating.  We just can't seem to have both sides of the ball be good at the same time.

    ...the organization tries so hard to put a good QB behind the Center.  But they just can't seem to do it.

    Bad luck of the draw. 

    The Browns tank two seasons in a row and end up with Baker. The Bengals then do it once and end up with Joe Burrow. 

    Hence, why we are in the QB position we are in now. 

    And I've been saying for a while, Watson is as good as done this season. Sure, he might come back and play some, but if he has rotator cuff problems, his arm strength and accuracy is going to be poor. At the least the Browns should put him on the short term IR and go and get Brissett or Flacco or Wentz. PJ Walker and DTR at this point is a recipe for a complete collapse down the stretch. (Not that Brissett/Flacco/Wentz are guaranteed to send the Browns to the playoffs, but at least there is a chance of somewhat competent QB play)

    Man, you really think so? I go back and forth. I can't let myself believe that he's done for the year. Medical professionals HAVE to get the swelling down and his power up, right? No structural damage, no surgery required, and to me this means he's eventually going to be fine. Does he need IR? I think he probably DID, but we're past that now. 

    I'm not a doctor, I know nothing about rotator cuff injuries other than they suck. Apparently they take forever to heal, but they DO heal. If Watson is throwing with force and isn't hurting, he'll play. I think there's hope for that.

    Yes, I really think so. 

    That's why I wrote it. ?

    On our local sports radio station, Garrett Bush mentioned that he talked to Bernie Kosar recently about Watson's injury, and Kosar said that when he suffered a rotator cuff injury that his arm strength was sapped and his accuracy went to poop. He didn't seem positive that Watson was going to be able to play much, or well if he does, this season. 

    When it came out that he hurt his rotator cuff after the Titans game, I said "Oh poopypants!" jiggins. That's right:

    OH POOPYPANTS!

    That meant that I was concerned.

    I assume the med staff is confident Watson will be able to return to normal this season, otherwise it’d be a crime to leave this season in PJ walkers hands.

    Yeah, sucks that the Bengals lucked out getting Burrow.  I'm not so certain Watson is done for the season though. He's getting two whole weeks of rest, so we'll see.  If he's still not ready to go against the Cardinals 11\5 (I'll be at the game BTW) you may well be right. They said a six week injury, and Arizona is week six. 

    Said it earlier, stating PJ against the Seahawks is all but throwing in the towel for a loss...  However, looking at the rest of the schedule- call me an optimist- I see at least seven games the Browns could potentially win (not with PJ at the controls though)  = 11-6.  That should be good enough to make the playoffs.

    Crime indeed bw.  Somehow on my tablet I can sneak behind the Cleveland.com paywall to see what one of my High School alums (Cleveland Benedictine) Terry Pluto is up to.  Quote from Terry "I'm getting carpet bombed with emails from fans asking why the Browns aren't going hard after Jacoby Brissett". I have to wonder about that too- before the trade deadline coming up soon. According to an article I saw, the Browns would only have to pay him peanuts- $3 million left on his one year contract. The only question is what the Commanders asking price is going to be.  

    Desperate times require desperate measures. In 2024 the Browns have Their second and third round picks, two fifths, two sixths, and two sevenths. I'd happily offer Washington both our fifths, and if I have to- our third. Stay tuned. A LOT is going to depend on the Browns medical staff's informed opinion exactly how badly Watson's shoulder is damaged. If they're 100% confident that this is going to resolve sooner than later, Berry is unlikely to hit the panic button making a trade. Though he should anyway- another Deshaun injury down the road, we're probably not making the playoffs relying on PJ or DTR running the offense.  ?

    Jimmy's business clearly isn't using doctors that graduated anywhere near the top of their class.  Keep in mind, there are people out there practicing medicine that drafted at the bottom of their class.  Now, take a guess employs 1 of them? Anyway, throwing a football with that kind of injury against NFL closing speeds - seems only advisable in a Jimmy Haslam business. Like Dutch brought up - Kosar has this injury and it evaporated his arm strength and accuracy.  Medical staff that doesn't understand this when they clear a QB to start - aren't REALLY protecting the guaranteed 230 million $ investment.

    Now, what can be done if you DO risk further injury by playing him?  According to the Cleveland Browns - What's everyone worried about? We're gonna protect him with Jed Wills as our blind side LT.  Yeah gee, what could possibly go wrong?  Every time Watson gets hit and planted by someone he doesn't see coming from his left - he lands REALLY hard on his right shoulder.  Make sense?  Should Left Tackle remain the weakest spot on the Browns' offensive line every Sunday if they WANT/NEED to protect their 230 million $ investment?

    Well, now that the Browns spent all that money on 1 guy they've had 2 off-seasons to come up with a protection plan for - Jed Wills remains the starting Left Tackle for the Cleveland Browns for his 4th consecutive season.  This is the only franchise that thinks eye ball tests and film are overrated.
