There better be a really good explanation for the suspension length or I think there will be some serious repercussions among fans, especially women. Right now it clearly sends the message that as long as you're a star, you can do whatever the hell you want. 

But hey, the next time another player is accused of something like this we should expect him to dress for a game, but only be required to sit out the 1st quarter.

So for the equivalence of Derrick Brown, Star Lotuleli and Vernon Butler we could have had Watson and 6 game wrist slap had Mr. Brass Balls money talks just guaranteed his contract

 

 Yay for Baker / Darnold

This would depend greatly on whether or not you think this is the last time Watson will be in the news for doing stupid poo. To me the odds don't favor the Browns. Even with this news I still say they saved us from ourselves.

This is what people said with Ray Rice and nothing happened to the NFL.  Nothing will happen this time either.

Even if he stays out of the news the rest of his career, this could still be a disastrous trade for Cleveland.

The nfl is corrupt. If anyone has a problem with this they should stop watching now. If you look at this as just entertainment and not some sort of morality show then you’ll stop yourself from being disappointed. 

Indeed.

If you are looking for fairness in the NFL(or most professional sports) you are going to be sorely disappointed. 

Better just get over it now or move on to another sport. I can promise you that if Watson resumes being an elite QB, in two years people will barely recall this.

Reference any number of NFL players that continued their careers after incidents as bad or worse than Watson.

It just is what it is.

Bingo!  Rules for thee, but not for me.  So as long as his accusers got paid, the penalty was less severe.  If only Watson could have upped the sum enough to make this go away sooner, hell, he could have been starting week 1.

If it were you, you wouldn’t be suspended from your job at all because chances are they’d never know. Again 0 criminal charges, and they looked into it.

This is a woman making the decision and announcement.   That makes it interesting.  Does she do anything that disgraces her gender in a male-dominated industry?  I do not think so.

Unfortunately I think they put her front and center as damage control. I don’t remember the disciplinary officer being this publicized.

Bear in mind, the NFL only submitted five cases to be reviewed. I could easily see the NFL stating that this was the penalty for those five. For the other umpteen cases out there, an additional six games (or more) could be applied. 

The five cases had the most evidence, so they carried the most weight, but the sheer number of remaining cases makes adding more games reasonable. It's not reasonable to delay a decision while all of the other cases are explored further.

12 games is reasonable for ALL of the cases. Six is not.

      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?
