6 game suspension seems likely. Just hope court keeps getting pushed back until the offseason
Seems about right. and, no, I wont think Browns or watson is getting screwed if he "only" gets 6 games (compared to the 11 watson received with no video and some sketchy evidence).

Have to say it's kind of funny narrative seems to be changing some on Baker. Only preseason but have seen some say he's not a 1-read QB and showing some of his TDs to "prove" this.

Truth be told always thought this narrative was absurd no matter what you thought of him. Many of the same people who called him 1-read also said he cannot throw from pocket and he needs to move around to succeed. Seems like it would be far easier to be a 1-read QB IN the pocket.

Yep the difference between @WiggyRuss and I is I know a suspension is rightfully coming and likely for 4+ games and I won't sit here defending someone I know was in the wrong. Defending Watson like he's been doing might be the lowpoint of his SportsHoopla career
where have I defended watsons conduct? you could not even show me one post where I do.

The mayor in Cleveland looking to retrain massage therapists to a new line of work.... apparently not a sought after profession anymore. Not in Cleveland.

He should absolutely be suspended.

Foolish to wait for his court date. The incident is on video.

And yes, a lot of people care.
Watson didn't get suspended the first season after being charged either. It actually IS consistent,

I'm guessing that's the first team offense against the opponent's second team defense though, right?

Wasnt watching but even if it was 14-16 and 3 tds is something you love to see as a Bears fan after the season he had. Like them to cover/possibly win as home dawgs week 1 vs sf

It's definitely better that playing meh or worse, but there are backup QBs that barely had incompletions all preseason. Teams have such varied approaches to preseason that it's difficult to take stats at face value.

He also didn’t play that season. The key is not having the guy take the field.

Consistently bad isn’t a good look either.

I do wonder how quickly the NFL would've acted had Watson not been holding out. That said the Kamara deal doesn't bother me from that standpoint. But again it's interesting how he and Kareem Hunt are viewed so differently. Yes Hunt lied about the incident. Yet he wasn't arrested nor was the woman seriously injured. And yes I understand one incident involved a woman and the other a man. But again... his domain and not a bar.
