If Mayfield returns to Cleveland, it will be in a visiting team's uniform.  Could be Carolina, Detroit, or somebody whose starter goes down before or early in the season.

To recap, the Browns are out a first round pick for three years, a couple of assorted other picks, and burned the bridge with their starting QB (whether you like him or not), in exchange for the possibility that Watson someday may play for them.....maybe......assuming there are not even more allegations.  And the list stops there assuming they can/would void his contract and save themselves most of the cash.

To think we had people calling anybody who didn't want the Panthers all in on this fiasco idiots.

Better them than us. If people think they can't handle the Tepper critics now imagine what this place would look like if we were in that position. Tepper should send them a nice gift for saving him from himself.

I suspect there are a couple of Browns forums that sound eerily similar to that right now.

But yeah, this place would make a shark feeding frenzy look like a bunch of goldfish.

Has a starting caliber QB ever come back after 2 years of not playing a snap to perform at a high level?

I don't think there are many examples, if any, where a starting QB took two years off. Would be an extremely small sample size. But you would have to expect there to be a major adjustment to get your conditioning back up, especially since he hasn't done a 17 game season as well.

So let’s see; Watson will for sure be suspended week one and Baker more than likely won’t play another snap for them…

Betting we will still be underdogs 

Of course we will still be underdogs.

Sam will be the QB after all.   meh.

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
