My new favorite quote.

Agreed. Best quote I've heard in a while... Fixes all the Browns problems since '99... we don't really need a QB... who would've thought...

@mudfly said:

They are both Texans......what did I win??

Dallas traded Wheezy?

What are Brandon Weeden and Brian Hoyer? Are they fullbacks?

@londonbrown said:

Why? When it is a rehash of something long past? All it did was invite griping.

@browns52 said:

you cannot say they did not quit...

We did not quit... You cannot have watched the last five games if you think the team did.

@opal312 said:

While I like Hawkins and Hartline we can't pass on a big receiver again.

Sure we can...

cbbacker said:

Thank you. Ahem!! (long dramatic pause) I actually have nothing to say about (Watkins) at the moment, but it's nice knowing IF I want to talk about him, I can. Thank you.

For decades Tom Watkins has had one of the simplest, prettiest golf swings in the history of the game.

@thenew23 said:

dude, i really hope you're right. but so far his instagram is flooded with pictures of him and his new wardrobe, and of him drinking in the club with his "boys" this offseason. Hopefully he adds some hard work in the mix too and he just forgot to post that on instagram....

@londonbrown said:

I started this thread thinking it might bring some positivity.....

Haha positivity on the Browns Board. Now that's funny.

@tim-couch-pulls-out said:

Thanks, I am glad I have your support. So explain how Gordon lead the league in yards while missing 2 games? Did we have Peyton, Tom, Drew? Nope we had... wait for it, WAIT FOR IT.. DUN DU DUH!!! Brandon Weeden, and Brian Hoyer!!! They gave us a league leading receiver, how do you explain that? What was our record that year? I know we must of had a 10-6 season right?

I didn't say we didn't need a QB to win, I just pointed out anyone can throw the ball. Make sure you understand my post before trying to insult me for it.

So the combination of a sputtering offense and defense mainly from a rash of injuries like we've not seen in a long time means the team got worse?

By seasons end we were using 3rd stringers and had minimal depth on both our lines. It would have been nothing short of a miracle to pull of those wins. Yet the guys kept fighting, played

physical and produced a respectable game for what they could do. Its that simple. I my mind, when you have to reach that deep down for players and they still scratch and claw to the bitter end, that's getting better.

As for not having elite players on offense, we have 3 fucking pro bowlers and a future HOF, all on the left side of our Oline. We have two young, very promising running backs to pair with it. Granted we don't have that bonafide WR or TE any more, but that's not to say we have nothing in those areas.

As for defense - again, injuries withstanding and finishing that well in points allowed is a huge statement. There are multiple elite players at their positions on defense. So, health permitting on the front, they will be able to shine as well.

Also you don't really need a qb to throw the ball.

My new favorite quote.

@the-gipper said:

I don't want to know why teams are light years ahead of us.....I know why......it is called a Quarterback.

Ever hear of it?

What's a QB? I haven't heard of that position, Is that the one that holds the ball when we kick FG's?

@tiamat63 said:

they collapsed at the end of the season losing 5 straight...you cannot say they did not quit...when you lose your last 5 games of the season that is not good...we had a qb at the beginning of the season, ended the season with no qb...we still don't have a legit qb...plus many other issues. i don't care what kind of defense we have on the field, they will collapse again due to an inept offense...we have no elite players on offense...and the defense really is not elite either...we have bits and pieces...which is what we always have yr after yr...bits and pieces..i guess we still have some time left for free agency, but i would not bet a friggin penny we get anyone that is have way decent...i hope i am wrong...

Great now I'm Bitching about someone Bitching about other people Bitching. Thanks Dick

hi rich, my name's tim.

welcome to a watkins thread on the browns board.

@miktoxic said:

Basically the first time I've chimed in on a Sammy thread in year for all those logging my content. Usually if there is topic I don't want to discuss I shut my fucking mouth and say nothing. It's weird but that actually is an option that escapes the people that admire and worship the select club of "mods'.

Chiming in to birch about people Bitching... That's Rich.

cbbacker said:

You weren't here when certain forum members were having a heavy flow over the fact that the Browns didn't take Watkins. They wouldn't shut the fuck up about him. That is why no one wants to hear about goddamn Watkins anymore as it pertains to "oh god my man crush Watkins wasn't picked by Ray Farmer boo hoo" posts.

here's your soapbox.......
