Browns get Watson

[Stakesarehigh]

This is really hard to figure out but just incredible. I mean, the guy at the very least was decent pre-injury. was it the injury and never recovering? Did he just forget how to play? His actions don't make him out to be a guy who doesn't care.

Maybe shoulder strength, dude i dont know. To become THIS bad is extremely surprising.

I could see it had last season never happened.....but really was at worse decent last year. Hell, he was even playing OK last half vs. Philly and first half Sunday to be fair. Other than few if any passes downfield.

Thats the point though, when you check down every play your comp pct and traditional qb rating looks fine. But he wasnt moving the ball.

I cant think of a more drastic example of a qb playing like this that wasnt a rookie or raw qb.

I will say though, firing Alex Van Pelt was a TERRIBLE decision.

Firing an OC that does not call plays was terrible? Isn't he the OC for NE who is not exactly lighting it up on O? Unless you think terrible simp[ly because they brought in Dorsey and/or changed the O for Watson?

as assumed by most

The Dorsey and O change.

You know ....Watson being back next year at QB might be the best scenario the browns could have ever imagined. Pretty much guarantees a number 1 overall pick in 2026 for the rights to a cat named Manning.

The Dorsey and O change.

I can agree with that.....but getting rid of AVP was fine.

All the Browns had to do to win was not start Watson

Line was healthy and winston often had a clean pocket but no doubt he was better than watson. Made quicker decisions AND threw downfield.

Helped Bmore DBs cannot catch.

Watson needs a clear passing decision which makes him slow at deciding. One thing about Winston. He has never been accused of being afraid to let it rip!

Will say the timing of the switch in playcaller was odd because the way Winston plays is a lot like Flacco........which would seem a good fit for stefanski.

But it worked.

Just have to win 9 more in a row

The throwing downfield is the key. I don't know what the fuck Watsons deal became but he almost never went vertical.

15 for 17 and like 3 points last week against Cincy.

Technically only 2 out of the wild card lol

didnt he have a suspension, then next year pretty much an injury year.
All the while dealing with major mind fucking of going to prison?
If I am remember him correctly of hardly ever actually playing while sitting on a couch. Kinda like coming back from retirement. LOL
I wouldnt have guessed him being this bad, but I would have predicted he wasnt gonna be as good anymore.

Hasnt he missed more games than he has played since signing his deal?

Sounds kinda Brownish.
Win just enough to ruin their draft pick while not making the playoffs.
