And let's not forget this could've easily been us. Tepper wanted him. People on this board wanted him. At least the choices we eventually made is bearing some fruit. 

They are so fuged. They have to just try to reach an injury settlement with him and move on.

I can't ever recall a QB falling off such a cliff in his prime without a serious injury being involved. Obviously he's dealing with serious injuries now, but he fell completely off the cliff when he was still healthy.

Football is a game that requires peak physical and mental condition (mental in terms of football, obviously not sanity lol) and being away from the game so long clearly impacted him.

fug him, though. Glad Tepper didn't get his way, christ. The best decision Tepper's made was not being willing to guarantee that salary.

Deshaun Watson most likely will only be in Canton as a day-pass guest or as an event attendee, but he did successfully pull off one of the flea flicker plays of all time, at least when it came to contracts. He simultaneously soaked Houston and then managed to get traded to the Browns for a massive haul not just for the Texans but for his own bank account, netting both one of the largest trade values of all time AND one of the most overpaid, fully guaranteed contracts of all times.

I'd say he gave it all up for a few after massage tugs, but let's be honest, he hasn't had to give up anything except some on the field time. And considering how he has played, that was probably in his interest, too.

Like I said back then when folks were praying we would land him, sometimes the biggest blessings are the ones you don't get.

This is that dipsh-t everybody makes fun of on McAfee's show, right?

The story of Glenn declining the Patriots interview seems to be legit but I'm not so sure I'd count on this guy's speculation.

To me it more means Glenn knows he's getting a different job already, like New Orleans.

I can't tell if this means the Browns are going to draft a QB #2 now, or if they're going to use this as a chance to just blow it all up and trade the pick to the Giants or Raiders.

Can see both sides of it, this is their chance to get a new QB, or they realize they're going to be in cap hell for a couple years because of the dead hits from Watson and just go full on re-build mode for a year or two and hope for the #1 pick next year in a better QB draft.

I might be a Panthers fan because of Biakabutuka, but if we end up getting T-Mac, might have to change my name to TMacFan4 lol

Makes you think more of O'Brien

Pats are gonna hire Vrabel like everyone's been saying lately.  

I find it interesting that their first two hc hires after Bellichick were two former players from their dynasty Era.

I remember the debates on here over the Watson pursuit.

Oy 😬

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
