    I wonder if Joe got his panties in a twist after he was benched in favor of a rookie, and asked the FO to be traded? ?

    Perhaps, or the Browns want to make sure to see what they have in Sanders eventually this season, and making him the #2 now sets the stage for it.

    I'm not into people being unemployed but my goodness, trading within the division? These guys are Ivy Leaguers?

    Is this 2017 all over again( Kizer,Kessler, Hogan)?

    Not far fetched.  He has a serviceable oline and WRs light years ahead of CLE.

    That’s rare, but seriously how much longer is Flacco playing? 
     

    And I’m more convinced now than ever that Kenny Pickett would’ve been the starter if he hadn’t got injured in training camp.

  • Wow, wasn't expecting this especially within the division. Hopefully their confidence isn't misplaced in the rookies, ballsy but risky move by the front office. Plus does this mean Deshaun will be activated this season?

    That doesn't sound like Flacco at all. I'm sure the FO was just trying to get some value out of him.

  •  Cincys Oline is, across the board, measurably worse.  Especially on the IOL. 

     Unless Joe shaves off 15 years along with Chase and Higgy catching every single 50/50 ball imaginable, Joe is going to take as many, likely more, hits and sacks than he did in CLE. 

     If he doesnt, then expect another high turnover stretch from him. 

     Per the usual, he'll have one decent game... fans will go nuts on both sides for different reasons, then he'll fade back to the mean and people will magically forget their uproar.

    Yeah the twilight is passing right before Joe's eyes.. I thank him for what he's done here but it's time for him to ride into the sunset... He's a good dude!

    That is what I'm thinking. It may not be this week, but they will bring Deshaun off the PUP at some point and he could very well be the starter again. I'm not saying I want this to happen, but it seems like a real possibility at this point. Gabriel, Shedeur, Zappe until Deshaun gets activated. Then Deshaun comes back and starts and Deshaun/Gabriel/Shedeur with Zappe back to the practice squad. 

    Thanks Joe for being a professional. 2023 was some fun memories.

    I guess they really want to alienate the fan base by bringing that useless tool back...

  • I do hope Joe comes back every year for the Assumption Feast though. 

    😂

  • Just another typical Browns thing to don 

    "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

  • Well, they weren't going to go back to him.  They weren't going to bring him back next year.  They turned a 6th round pick into a 5th.   Thanks Joe Flacco...thanks for everything you did for our rookie QB's.  All the best to you...forever.

    -------------

    On the Browns homepage, Sanders is listed as the backup to Gabriel.  This is good.  The guy that wasn't the future is not taking reps from anyone any more.  (in all deference to Joe Flacco)   Each drafted QB, Gabriel & Sanders, now has a clear role.   It's your offense now Gabriel.  They're not going into the bullpen.  Sanders coming to the team was a fluke afterthought.  No reason to look over your shoulder.   Sanders, you've gotta prepare like you're the starting QB.  You've got to know your shit backwards and forwards because if Gabriel the Smurf (in all deference to Dillon Gabriel) gets hurt you've got to go in and take the team to victory.  

    I'm sorry that one of the nicest guys in football had to be unceremoniously removed from the team....but it is truly better for the current team going forward.

    If we remember from the winter meetings this past season, Haslem talked about a swing and a miss with Watson, and how 'It may take a couple of years' to fix the QB position.  Well, we're still in year one.

    I believed that all along.  They traded for him before doing anything else at QB.  I'm confident that they expected him to start.  Later when they brought in Flacco it was the thinking that hey, he's available, we're going to draft Gabriel (or someone like him) and that would be their 3 QB's.  But we all know what happened on draft Saturday.  Adding Shedeure necessitated a plan B strategy.  

    I'm guessing what happened was, Pickett injured his hammy and it didn't get better in time...and during that time they saw Gabriel practicing and felt like he was doing pretty well...certainly absorbing the playbook and being mature.  If Pickett wouldn't have gotten hurt things would've been a bit different.  I bet they'd have kept all 4 QB's going into the regular season.  

    I also feel that they wanted to see Gabriel at helm at some point (if it turned out that Pickett was NOT going to be the next comeback player of the year).  But they really needed him was for the beginning of the season...and when it looked like he was too far behind with the injury they just decided that Flacco would be the early season QB.
