Between the way Cam was let go, Rhule’s hiring + contract, Darnold, the Rockhill mess, and Watson Tepper has been chasing every bullet he can find.

I feel like in some areas at least, the guys in charge have made solid decisions.  Not spectular, but solid. 

But when it comes to quarterback, our decisions have gotten progressively worse.  Signing Bridgewater and releasing Cam, trading for Darnold, and then trying to trade for Watson and all of his legal issues.  I am so glad that we were accidentally saved from making what would have been one of the worst decisions in franchise history.

Settlement = guilty

Talk about an expensive old fashioned 

Plaintiffs attorney shouting from the rooftops while Watson's attorney "declined comment" doesn't exactly paint a picture of victory for Watson's side.

Watson swore he'd fight till the end. Guess not.

Good thing he just came into $250 million.  He's gonna need it.

After a while, people in these situations always end up just wanting it to go away.

Wonder if that report/rumor of the initial offer of 100k per turning into a million per case actually turned out to be true. I cant imagine that ever becoming public. 

Buzbee taking a victory lap right now with that presser. 

How many women filed police reports? Any chance they're the last 4? I don't remember off the top of my head. 

Browns were expecting this. It's why they restructured this year's salary to reduce the amount of money he'd lose on a suspension down to nickels and dimes. 

Hope they rightfully get dragged for that once the suspension comes to a head.

Sometimes.  Sometimes the company I work for "settles" because it's the cheapest most efficient way to move on from the issue at hand.  Do you want to spend more money/time in court to just pay out and move on.  I wouldn't say the "settle" parts makes him guilty as much as the 24 different women with similar stories does.

It was actually up to 26 as far as lawsuits (some may still be in process) with reports of more possibly on the way.

There were also two women who filed criminal charges but not lawsuits and I think three others who told their stories without doing either.

All that plus the New York Times story with reports of up to 66 different massage therapists and...yeah 😕

Settlement or not, I'd say the general public consensus (among non Browns fans at least) is that he's guilty.

I hope the last 4 drag it out for the guy and cash out a hell of a lot more than 1 mil they were reporting after his new contract, he deserves it. 

Those 4 definitely have extra leverage now and will extract more 💰💴👊.

The other problem faces is how many of the other 40+ who haven't stepped up so far might now think "hmm he whipped it out on me too, think I'll get in line to collect my fair share" 🧐...

...this is still a long way from being over.  

Remember when everyone thought it was completely inappropriate for Jerry Richardson to be allowed to "hide" behind NDA's... 😉🤣

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
