I wonder if Tepper secretly regrets not out-bidding the Browns now knowing Watson is only out six games?

We have a better team now and not a rapist to worry about. More than likely he will do this again. Serial rapist always do.

They deserve a massive backlash over this, and frankly I hope they get it.

It's really starting to feel like boxing back before it took a nosedive. You know it's corrupt. You know it's rigged. They just don't give a poo because they don't have to.

They won't. The worst they have gotten is over Kaepernick and that all blew over too.

In fairness, they have a long way to go to hit boxing level of corruption.

One of the reasons I watch less than 5 games a year total and that includes all teams. The NFL is a joke.

As soon as organizations transition from trying to fairly and effectively deal with scandals and misconduct to worrying primarily about "the optics," they inevitably make themselves look about as bad as possible to as many people as possible.

One way to make yourself look guilty as he11 is to take actions specifically designed to make you look not guilty.

I have watched less than 3-5 games per season since about 2017.  It was a culmination of things that led me to determine watching a game or two every Sunday was not worth my time. 

A lot of it was on the field stuff, like nobody being able to describe or determine what a catch was, without looking at it on replay with a mechanical engineer and two physicists going over it frame by frame. 

But, the constant Keystone Kops, reacting to everything (something happened.....we need a new rule.....which will make more problems than it will solve) and various off the field exploits by both players and owners all pushed me away.

I feel like keeping 3 first round picks, $260m, and getting Baker Mayfield out of the deal for basically peanuts, is a decent consolation prize.

Yeah cause 25 people are just lying and one is not. 🙄 I'm sure slavery was just a misunderstanding in your mind too. 

I was going to respond but it's no need. I'm black. Why would I think slavery is a misunderstanding? Because I don't have my pitchfork out wanting Watson's head? Smh

Ridley got a year for betting on his team to win. Hopkins gets 6 games for PED's, and Watson gets 6 for this? No words to explain the utter disappointment with this! Such a terrible precedent being set by the NFL! 

 

Remember the NFL did technically want a longer suspension and a large fine. This was the decision by the arbitrator based on previous cases she selected that were "similar."

I'd say it has more to do with you looking like you're not very informed on the story. Of course, it could also be that you don't want to know.

If you actually do, a good place to start is by reading the New York Times investigation by Jenny Vrentas.

If you prefer not to acknowledge any possibility that Watson might be guilty though, you don't have to read anything at all.

I'm not so sure anymore. SB50 was an obvious fix but it wasn't the first and won't be the last. Players and teams are held to completely different standards based on market size. No consistency, no accountability, no integrity and owners turn a blind eye because they all get profit sharing. Roger Goodell was the worst thing to ever happen to the NFL.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      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.
