The FO caused this issue.
I like it, you can start a Go Fund me page for them.
You should get cents back
the defense did suck. Below avg. in points allowed. Not sure how this has anything to do with you claiming I said defense doesn't matter. Again, goal posts are heavy so make sure you have help....and lift with the legs.
Based on what? Because they tried to bring in a top tier QB they thought was better than the one they had (who many teams were after)?
I decided to think for myself instead of just going with what the media wanted us to think.
Hmm...let's see. They went from 17-62 in the previous 5 seasons to 19-14 in their 2 seasons with a playoff win. Also a number of pretty bad picks in the early rounds of the draft those 5 seasons. So far I cannot think of a bad pick this regime made.
I'd say the previous FO caused this issue as they were the ones who passed on Allen. If you think Baker is not any good what should they have done? Held onto him when a top tier QB came available who many other teams wanted?
Based on how they FUCKED up the whole situation.
How's that? Did something happen differently because the Browns traded for Watson than if it was a different team?
1) Had to give too much to trade for him
Picked up 5th year option on Baker.
I mean, every team who made an offer had to make one that Houston would accept before even meeting with Watson. I can agree, the contract was a surprise and where we are now seems a little much though seems like 1-3 are pretty much the same thing.
Should they have let Baker walk after year 4 based on what he did in year 3? .....You can only guess they called Baker a child. .......agreed maybe too much for watson (but wont matter if he plays well)........you don't know they thought they'd get a kings' ransom for baker.
Decimated their premium draft capitol for a few years, tapped out their cap space for 2023 and 2024. So Browns have limited means to improve the roster for a couple years and one wonders how motivated Watson will be with all that money guaranteed, will he play well, will he stay healthy, will he get in further trouble, will he remain happy? Will he seek help for his issues?
These are all good points....but they are all maybes. Well, they did hurt their draft capital. The cap? First, they are likely going all in for those few seasons but the cap is also set to explode, some say every year for a while.
However the Browns need all of them to break their way and that's unlikely.
They need Watson to come back and play like he did in Houston in 2020. Not that farfetched he could....but, sure, it's far from a lock this trade works out (and I never thought it was).
so now it didn't come from the front office? That's your retort?
