Eifert Posting posted:If the rumor that he's looking at an eight game suspension is true... I mean Case keenum is good but missing your starting quarterback after leveraging that much in assets to get him isn't a great start to a season when you're all in. Especially when the whole argument for doing this seemed to be that the Browns were in some kind of win now window and they couldn't wait a year to get through a terrible QB class. That's at least how the only people I know who wanted this were defending it. But it makes zero loving sense if he ends up serving 8 games. It also makes the win now self fulfilling because the loving guaranteed money in that contract is gonna gently caress them.

The most important piece of any football team is the quarterback. The Rams have shown you can build consistently good teams without first round picks.

I don't think he'd be allowed to practice with the team for any suspension too, so even getting half a season out of him seems hard to do if the 8 games thing is correct. You can give him a playbook but you can't let him throw to guys or get to really know them on the field.

I'd like to paint y'all a mental picture. It's November, Watson suits up for his first game. He gets sacked by someone who proceeds to do a loving you in the rear end celebration over a prone Watson. Thank you.

During the season, suspended players are totally locked out of everything. But they can fully participate in the preseason, and I think they can even play in preseason games.

I don't think that having a QB guaranteed all of a 230 million dollar contract seems like a good start for maintaining a team primarily via free agency. I've always thought one of the givens of these big contract guys was that you needed to hit on some of your premium draft picks to offset the high cost. I'm not saying they have doomed themselves, but more that if this doesn't pay off for them this year, they might be stuck in a weird place where they have a QB and have trouble getting weapons around him or a defense across from him. At least in the near term. Like it's the most Browns way to sell your soul.

I've always thought one of the givens of these big contract guys was that you needed to hit on some of your premium draft picks to offset the high cost. I get where your coming from but it's still worth it for a great (at playing sport) (huge piece of poo poo sexual assaulter) qb because qbs are just that valuable. The Browns have, on the whole, a great roster. The missing piece was QB. They now have a legit chance of superbowling. Are they the fave to represent the AFC? Of course not, there's a bunch of great AFC teams and playoffs are chaotic best of ones in a chaotic sport. But there's a solid chance. They basically had zero chance with Baker. Re: Picks - They just have to build a good team without first round picks. That's harder to do, but it's not impossible if you are smart with your existing players and with FAs. And even if the Browns lack of firsts does sap their team, it's still only three seasons without first round picks. Watson is 26 now. There's plenty of time after his age 29 season to build up. Re: Cash - That's the cost of doing business with QBs. Salary caps will continue to rise, teams are recognizing the value of qbs, and the next qb up for contracts will continue the upward trend of big paydays. Another thing about cost of qbs is that it's roughly a non-factor in the playoffs. Why? Because most of the teams in the playoffs are the teams with great QBs, who will also be paying their QB large sums of money. Obviously you have situations where QBs play on rookie contracts which is a big advantage. The guaranteed also doesn't matter. The team isn't going to cut this piece of poo poo QB Watson so long as he's good at football. But if he does get cut, then who cares about the dead money for a brief period of time? In that scenario the Browns don't have a QB so they will suck anyway. Tim Whatley posted:I'm preparing myself for Collinsworth to use "off the field stuff" again a bunch next season Yeah. I'm bracing myself for announcers using "distractions".

I'm still really having a hard time swallowing that Baker, after getting the Browns their first playoff win in forever, played through injuries for basically the entire season, probably at fairly significant cost and great discomfort to himself and the Browns rewarded him by basically saying he's less of an adult than a loving sex criminal and now they're kicking him out the door. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me.

John Clayton was a big part of my Seattle sports radio listening in the past decade. I would put his shows (or segments) on in the background whenever I did work. It’s surreal that I won’t be able to listen to him any more. He took a rare sick day the other week and now he’s gone like that. RIP professor, I’ll always cherish listening to you.

John Clayton was great. True pillar of the Seattle sports scene, and apparently just a great guy all around. Beautiful tributes to him all over twitter. Apparently leaves behind a beloved wife who suffers from MS, what a horrible turn of events.
