DeShaun Watson traded to the Browns

I have a hard time believing he doesn’t get suspended at least half a season - likely this year. The trade will help the Browns for sure but they’re likely giving up one season on top of the picks and money.

 

Think of the boon to the massage industry. "At the massuese with DeShaun Watson and Robert Kraft"!

 

That did not age well.

 

Didn't Watson take the Texans to a 4-12 in 2019?

They got rid of Hopkins and it went down hill.

 

It does make them better - after he serves his suspension.

 

First round picks ain't the only thing they blow

 

Damn he really only played in three of them???That's kinda a big deal

 

Won't deny Watson can play ball but those stats were gotten by playing one of the weakest schedules in the league in 2020.

 

There is a whole forum called "General NFL Talk..." That's where Browns talk, and any other talk of any team besides the Steelers belongs...

 

I stand corrected. The highlights from that year seem very reminiscent of the Raiders vertical passing attack with the CFF connections being the most dangerous. Some the early season highlights had personnel groups similar to the last few years that Ben liked to use but without the mobility, teams jamming at the line, losing their man as the play developed and Watson staying mobile until he saw a guy open and slung it to them.

 

That's true for everything else except qb. You don't have to be in the best shape to read a defense and throw a football accurately. That's why Brady is still playing at 45 with not a lick of athleticism

 

Christ, you act as if they traded for vintage Elway. Better to what degree? Wentz would have been an upgrade over him.

There are more questions than answers with this guy. If they had gotten him for a first, second and a warm body, I'd say it was still a little risky, but one worth taking nonetheless. To give up what they have plus the cap hit for a narrow window with all the legal troubles this guy has? Good luck and God Bless. It isn't downplaying, it's sound reasoning.

 

So we are just assuming he will be the same player after all this time off. And assuming he will actually get to play this season. Honestly I wouldn't give that contract to anyone, let alone someone I had to give up that much in draft capital to get, who hasn't played in a year and is bringing loads of off field garbage with him. I get why everyone would just assume that anything the Browns try will work out great for them though, given their long track record of success.

 

This thread is gold lol

 

Does Watson make an impact on the Browns? Or, does Cleveland have an impact on Watson? If he impacts the Browns, they are immediately better. If the Browns impact Watson, they manage to destroy yet another QB.

 

If browns win a super bowl then all the teams are going to start following that model

 

Yay!! Pronouns........

 

I am not sure what you are trying to say. My pronouns are fine. I assume everyone is aware I was referring to Watson given that this is a Watson thread.

 

Assuming may be the problem... Extreme superlatives like "everybody" may be another... I was following these developments (Plus I'm extremely smart )
However, everybody who isn't, has no idea of whom you're speaking... It's not as though other QB's aren't mentioned in this thread...

 

Whatever. Find something more irrelevant to gripe about.
