    What are the odds that Watson doesn't return to form after the shoulder surgery? Do we keep Flacco as the starter? What about Watson's contract?

    Shoulder injuries are tricky. Everyone seems to be optimistic when talking about how his surgery went, how rehab is going, but... shoulder injuries are tricky.

    I'd love to bring Flacco back next year.

    I would love that too. I would be one of the best cinderella stories in NFL history if he delivers a Lombardi trophy to Cleveland. I didn't want him to start until the playoffs started but I was surprised by the results and I'm glad he did start earlier.

    Watsons contract leaves him as a brown regardless, they can’t afford to pull a broncos.

    I think we should just enjoy the ride, worry about the QBs when we’re in the offseason.

    I openly questioned how much gas he had in the ol' proverbial tank, but it's been a fun ride, hasn't it?

    That's correct bb.... Checking his contract on Spotrac, we're basically stuck with him for the 2024 and 2025 seasons his dead cap hit is prohibitive. In 2026, it would only cost us $73 million to cut him.  

    Of course I'd love to bring back Joe as a security blanket if Watson gets hurt again, but would he be interested in being DW's backup? Should the Browns make a deep playoff run he's going to be (ala Aaron Rodgers) one blazing hot free agent QB for a team thinking they're only a QB away from a Super Bowl win.

    Everybody loves Flacco now but there is a potential nightmare scenario that I keep thinking about. Flacco nearly takes us to a Super Bowl and the next year, a certain team that could be potentially one QB away from going to the Super Bowl scoops him up. This team has a similar name to that of feces, it's the Stoolers I'm talking about of course. I was on a Stoolers board recently and saw them mention that they were pissed that they themselves didn't think about going after Flacco. Nightmare scenario is that he nearly misses a Super Bowl win here and go there and delivers another one to them on a silver platter. Can't imagine they would be happy with Mason Rudolph moving forward. And if Tomin doesn't pursuit him, he may be out on the streets next year if they miss the playoffs althogether.

    There’s a lot of teams mad at themselves for not going after Flacco. They’ll be even madder if he does something crazy like starts winning playoff games. The Vikings are probably the most striking example of a playoff caliber team that needed a Flacco. Instead, they got a Dobbs

    Cleveland fans should just enjoy the ride, it’s my favorite season since 99’ who cares about the QB next year.

    If Flacco does somehow manage to make the Super Bowl, then who cares if the browns make Watson the highest paid QB2 of all time next year - and if they don’t retain Flacco, it’s not like Watson is bad (he’s just hated as a person). 

    I don’t think the Steelers go after any free agent QBs, it seems like it’s against their philosophy or something.

    Lets all just enjoy what is going on right now with Joseph Vincent Flacco.

    He's 39 years old. The Steelers aren't signing him to be their starting QB, in fact, I feel pretty confident he will not be given a starting job next year.. (he might start some games, mind you, but I just can't see a team saying "He's our #1!" in August.)

    But I believe they (the Steelers) did pick up our own Mentor High School Mitch Trubisky as a free agent. 🙂 He's probably played himself off of their roster, as he only has a $4 million cap hit next year.
