Another Lawsuit Ensuing... The Browns Just Might Have An Out!

I'm afraid I do not see any upside. Lessor of evils kind of thing.

Here's a thought. What dumbshit somewhere in the Browns braintrust thought it was a good idea to let Flacco walk and now back up Richardson with the Colts? That person or persons who did not see fit to find a way to keep him should be fired post haste.
The FO was afraid of hurting DW’s feelings by keeping Flacco.

Meanwhile, has any of them seen how hurt that alleged surgically repaired shoulder still looks? When a guy is altering/changing his throwing mechanics to try to throw a football without pain and accuracy - shouldn't that worry us that nobody in the organization and medical staff sees that as an ideal opportunity to bench his ass without hurting his feelings?
The irony here is all of Stefanski's best work has been winning without Watson on the field with backup QBs.

It is snowballing. Flugel and Dutch are about to sue Watson.

Like how you were going to sue Steve and/or the site hosting this board if your account wasn't deleted because your feelings were so, so butthurt? ?

This is absolutely true.
That being said, Flacco was a short-term fix.
The Browns need to pray that he gets suspended again, and they are able to void the rest of his contract and move on.

I’m thinking Stefanski saw this in training camp and didn’t want to put DW on display, but eventually the cat comes out of the bag.
It reminds me of when Mike Pettine was the HC and he didn’t want to play Manziel until Haslam forced him to.
If DW is damaged goods, someone needs to say so.

Keyword "alleged."
I didn't like the signing either.
Honestly, watch the short clip I shared on page one with Chappelle and Bill Cosby. I'm not going to argue with semantics that these are by definition alleged, but there's level to this stuff. To be sure, I'm not talking at you personally when I say this but just broadly- unless these woman have created one of the greatest conspiracies against an athlete in history, this mofo is an abuser. It's wild people even argue against that.

Right, and he's not somebody that runs the offense that they'd like run.

Who is "Dutch"? I must have him on my ignore list. Flugel seems ok to me.
Ok, carry on.?

He's the one who does, though, run Kevin's offense well.
I've said it before, Stefanski can produce an offense that scores points, but it does not in any shape or form resemble a RPO offense. Kevin and Watson are a horrible fit.

So Eisen says that the trade is looking like the worst trade in history. And it may end up being...but it was only game one of this pivotal Deshaun Watson season. The Browns were missing their two starting tackles and were playing a very good Dallas defense. Six sacks on Watson. Five times he ran for 39 yards. Ford only had 44 yards in 12 carries. And with no game reps all preseason. - Tough to succeed.
As much as I'm no fan of his, he deserves a solid chance at proving his abilities this season. And until the league or the doctors say he can't play, he should play.

Some organizations/ownerships will never understand HOW to invest in a QB and protect such an important investment. Forget the Watson situation. I realize I went from a huge Baker fan prior to us drafting him to talking myself out of my initial angry reaction to the ownership dropping Baker. I posted a lot of venom about them not appreciating him and bringing up that's what he got for playing hurt. HOWEVER, I started to think the Watson I saw playing for the Texans seemed like an upgrade. That means I deserve some of the reality hitting me right between the lookers today.
I still don't know if Baker is ever going to be a Super Bowl Champion - but give the guy credit for his willingness to compete like one. We scored 48 points in a playoff game in Pittsburgh with him as our QB - although Myles Garrett started the score-fest with a TD on the game's first snap. Our pass rush caused 4 INTs and 5 turnovers from Roethlisberger. Baker threw 3 TD passes and ZERO interceptions on the same night. The interesting thing about it? It was the ONLY game our OC Alex Van Pelt got to call the plays the entire time he was here.
Of course, Jimmy's organization was still firing the OC (Alex Van Pelt) and RB Coach (Stump Mitchell) as the next ideas to solidify his staff around getting the right offensive fit for the gotta-have Watson. The difference between Watson's previous teams at Clemson as well as Houston - was they had the right staff and right offense all in place and ready to go to match his skills and strengths on Watson's 1st day there while the coaches knew exactly what needed to improve. Unfortunately, the Browns were heading into season #3 hoping they had the right new offense ready to go around the QB. Here's the thing, they did a lot of the same crap around Baker. How many different Offensive Coordinators or Coaches calling plays did the guy have here the 1st 3-4 years here? What seemed like a great idea at first was a lousy idea with bringing OBJ to the locker room here. I got the feeling that guy turned a lot of guys on the team against Baker; because nobody said they were sorry to see him go after all they accomplished together at times. Meanwhile, OBJ was buying teammates flashy cleats other stuff. Seemed like he wanted friction between Baker and Jarvis Landry (after those 2 had very good chemistry established here). I think OBJ was a cancer here and Jimmy used it all as his ideal opportunity to go get HIS new QB.
Another similarity Baker experienced like Watson here - was in their 2nd seasons with this team. The Browns lost both starting Offensive Tackles in the Opener against the Titans in Baker's 2nd season. They also lost 1 of the backups the next week. Fast forward to last year, the Browns lost Conklin, Jones and Wills. Lucky for us, the unemployed Left Tackle the Browns signed off the streets gave 100 times the effort that the Wills did. Conklin and Jones are both great run blockers when healthy. That said, how often was Conklin ever healthy enough before or after we drafted Dawand Jones. We're seeing this whole thing play out as Jimmy's business idea of how to compete. Pretty soon his product is gonna be competing with Sanford & Son re-runs...

Great history lesson ( unfortunately). Damn this bites.
The Browns laid a similar egg in a 38-6 opening day loss to the Ratbirds a few years ago & finished 11-5.
Yet nothing we saw Sunday gives us hope that can happen this year. Once again, lots of distractions. Hope I'm wrong.
PS....season ticket holders get a survey on Monday morning after every game. I vented like the Tazmanian Devil, most notably regarding " on a scale of 1-10, how was your game day experience?" WELL IT WAS BLEEPIN BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP.
I'm still pissed they charge major league prices for minor league games (preseason), then treat the HOME OPENER like a preseason game. Somebody talk me off the edge.
Haslam, WTF. I really wish Gilbert owned the Browns. Our owners in town are in the wrong spots, sadly.
