    And yes, you nailed it, there aren't going to be "WE WANT WINSTON!" chants at the Browns Stadium after the first incomplete pass by Watson, so there's that.

    Instead, we’re going to be scratching our heads wondering which QB the Browns are drafting in 2025.

    We could very well be.

    But then what would some on here whine about?

    Temperature of the beer, colors of the uniforms, shape of the scoreboard…you know important shit like that.

    1. The beer could always be colder

    2. The orange is a weird shade now. Thanks, Haslams.

    3. Looks like Tennessee BECAUSE THE HASLAMS ARE GOING TO MOVE THE TEAM RABBLE RABBLE!

    There, done.

    Syd has to be "on that other forum" to bring up the fact that you are a whiny bitch? 

    I doubt mjp or tia will mind someone saying that about you on this forum. I'm sure they agree. 

  • Flacco wants to play.  We have Watson.  So Flacco won't play unless Watson gets hurt.  But Flacco wants to play.  So he's going to go elsewhere to play if at all possible.  Meanwhile, do we sit on our hands?  The answer is no.

    They must think Watson's shoulder will be fine if they brought in Winston instead of bringing Flacco back.

    I get this, but what team out there is seriously thinking of signing 39 year old Joe Flacco and starting him? 

    Then again, I don't understand why the Browns would look at Flacco and Winston and go "Well both will sign with us, the money is comparable, so lets go with Winston." 

    I really think they didn't want to deal with a QB controversy. I kind of think that's why we have Winston now. I think this speaks to how confident they really are in Watson coming back and playing well. (Not very confident, I suspect)

  • as fans, we may get half truths

    The "Flacco wants to return to Cleveland"

    2 weeks ago, Flacco himself made radio stops w/Sirius & espn. Heard both.

     Flacco & Stef were both raised in Philly. Joe commented on a great player/coach relationship he had w/Stef. Loved the guts, Stef showed as the play caller. Joe didn't want that last game to be his last here. Joe admittedly felt he let the room/fans down. Joe took that loss hard on himself. Yes, Joe wants a chance to play, but he really wants to win more than the money. He's secured his money..

    Few days after Joe Flacco spoke & days after combine ?

  • @calfoxwc said:

    yep.

    I love the new wr signing. I can't wait for DTR to take the Browns to the playoffs !

    With TWO explosive deep threats - EXCELLENT (when DTR takes over)

    You don't have to be a prude to hate the Watson trade. But you do if you're going to shit your pants over a consensual peccadillo in the parking lot of the cheesecake factory.

    Andrew Berry is building this team to give DW the best possible opportunity to win.

    Berry may not admit this publicly, he is also taking away any excuse DW could make.

    Cal is very crabby about what a terrible WR he felt Jarvis Landry was.  Not only that, the ONLY place OBJ struggled was In Cleveland when Baker couldn't get him the football.  Before Baker, OBJ made Pro Bowls and right after Baker he was catching TD passes in playoffs and the Super Bowl.  The bigger part of this is John Dorsey (the guy that DRAFTED Baker 1st overall made impressive efforts to bring his QB help at WR here like Jarvis Landry and OBJ.  Not 1 person in here complained about either move by Dorsey while most people celebrated them.  Baker had a choice: make more commercials or work on his chemistry with OBJ (after/outside of practice).  

  • Dumbest move since the Manziel draft pick.

    Here I thought the front office was doing a great job in general. This is really baffling.

    Not for nothing, but now that the Bears cornered themselves into the point of no return with Justin Fields while they still plan to go through with their plans to draft Caleb Williams - I think the Browns could have traded for Justin Fields without giving up too much in return.  I wish they would have at least inquired if they didn't already do so.

    I don’t know why there are NFL teams that are willing to spend a high pick on Caleb Williams…he’s a turnover machine.

    When USC played their Bowl Game without Caleb Williams - the QB they started threw 6 TD passes.   USC lost 5 games Caleb started in 2023 fwiw...

    Yeah, it's only adultery ?.  The moral compass only seems to get used in here for Watson.

    Not counting interceptions, he’s responsible for 32 fumbles in 36 games. ?

  • @jrb12711 said:

    At least apparently he's an extremely solid locker room guy. I could believe that to be true based on his personality.

    To me this reeks of two things:

    1) At the end of the day, Winston's game is very similar to what we saw Flacco do last season. High Risk, high reward (a la Favre) mentality. Candidly,  I see it strictly from a talent standpoint as a slight upgrade and of course a much younger player. Also, just being blunt Flacco gave me major "Fitzmagic" vibes. I get a strong feeling the FO felt the same way.

    2) Don't underestimate this move being a sneaky way of protecting Watson. If QB1 comes out next year and looks crappy, the fan base would be rioting to have Flacco put in the game. Just won't happen with famous Jameis.

    The big difference for me is.. Flacco can overcome his Int's... Winston falls completely apart at the seams with absolutely 0 ability to overcome his mistakes...
