  1. General belief from insiders and analysts is that he's played his last down for the Browns. Expectation is that once Watson is suspended, they'll go with Brissett as their starter.
  2. Apple said something, but he wasn't the source for the story I'm thinking of.
  3. He's probably just here spying for the Bills...or maybe the commanders
  4. When the story about criticism from a league source came out last year, specifically the one that said the Panthers weren't a true meritocracy and we had people playing or even starting that wouldn't even be on a roster anywhere else, Walker was one of the names that came to mind.
  5. Now if they let him go, I'm really gonna believe that Matt Rhule has lost some power.
  6. I don't hate anyone for being bad at their job, and Richardson was most definitely bad at his. The other stuff is a whole different matter though.
  7. The rise of sports talk guys like Jim Rome didn't help matters.
  8. There's talk that Major League Baseball putting a guy on a two year suspension even without criminal charges might affect how the NFL treats Watson. Some believe the league might not want to look "soft" on sexual misconduct issues. Don't know if anything comes of it but it kinda makes sense, especially given the new allegations and the New York Times story.
  9. Disappointing, I know. The thing that scared me the most about Watson was that it always felt like there was something new lurking around the corner, like a cheesy announcer just waiting to jump out and yell "But wait, there's more!" Lo and behold, there actually was.
  10. Richardson never did, and for one primary reason. He trusted the wrong people, specifically Marty Hurney. Tepper so far has trusted Marty Hurney and Matt Rhule. That worries me...a lot. Not being able to distinguish who you should trust and who you shouldn't is one of the surest ways to get into the NFL basement, and stay there.
  11. Jerry Richardson had exactly the same vision but no clue how to accomplish it. Tepper so far is no different. I long ago stopped giving anyone credit for "wanting to win". Everybody wants to win, but if you have no frigging clue how to do so, all the wanting in the world doesn't mean sh,-t.
  12. Right now, I'm extremely happy that isn't us.
  13. Tepper is responsible for the on field product because he chooses who runs the football operations. It was the same with Richardson.
  14. Kunkel is normally a very good source. This was just kind of lame.
  15. The percentage of professional athletes capable of honestly and/or objectively evaluating their own performance is...small.
  16. For real though, when it comes to the football product, Tepper has made a load of missteps and little to nothing in the way of positive movement. The one hope he has now is that Scott Fitterer turns out to be a good GM.
  17. The two had no connection. And you've been predicting this for what, three years now? Still hasn't happened, and there's not much reason to believe it ever will. New is not MVP Newton anymore. Whether or not you accept that doesn't really matter.
  18. I'd say it's more about tape. Once other teams have film on what you can and can't do, they adjust. Then you either adjust to their adjustments or you decline.
