They can’t trade him now, can they? Looks way more likely that he’s the man this year unless they’d rather tank. They could make their 1st rounder worth more. Well poo, I guess they might have Watson miss 2023 too so at least they could have the top pick in 2024. Well damn, guess that tank option isn’t really there.

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.

you'd have to think Andrew Barry is exploring QB options to not make this year a waste. Jimmy G to CLE will probably have legs by end of this month.

Darnold will probably get floated as I trade candidate, but you'll probably also hear about a certain free agent named Cam Newton.

Wouldn't that be something? Week 1. Cleveland at Carolina. Darnold versus Cam.

That would be my second favorite option.  My favorite option is to steer clear of that drama queen. 

I actually wouldn't mind him here provided we don't wait until training camp.  He needs time to learn the offense.  My thinking is that he's on a one year audition for everyone, he's going to put his head down and be the best teammate and QB he can be this year in order to secure his future.

At this point we should just trade Sam for Baker straight up.  Salary for each is pretty much identical.  Sam can fill in for the pervert, and we get Mayfield until Corral is ready to go.  It makes too much sense.

That's a lot of assumptions or should I say hopeful thinking.  I've seen nothing in his history to suggest he would try to be a good teammate. I just do not want that asshole near this team and especially around our new draft pick.

 Darnold may be ass as a qb but he's one hell of a teammate. The amount of hatred and boos he's had to endure yet he still puts on a smile and tries to do his best. Unlike the little sh!t Mayfield who throws a tantrum if things don't go his way.

Hard pass on Mayfield.

very similiar to one of the greatest, if not the greatest, cameo content makers of all time.  The Jimmy. 

I actually gained respect for Jimmy.  I mean, horrible NFL QB.  But a lot of the predraft character hits on him were clearly bogus.  Being thrown out year one and failing that hard and then the team quickly moving on...he handled it all well.  Always played his part the way it should of been played.  Took the Ls on the chin.  Said the right things.  Did the Sam when Cam came to replace him.

Agreed. We don’t need another mediocre but just good enough to miss out on a top QB or a cherry trade spot like Miami got for Trey Lance. If Corral isn’t quite ready, let Sam lead us to a great pick. We don’t need an extra 2-3 wins with Baker.

I could forsee a Baker-Sam trade in which we sweeten the pot with a late round draft pick. If Fit/Rhule think we can win now with the updated OL--they may do it.

    • Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.
    • I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.  
    • Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
