Meh, it’s simply minor payback for all the dumbass threads declaring him a bust and that Brandon Allen is better Mac is better, Tua is better, etc.

You reap what you sow. I’m merely providing some balance. Also, I’m tired of discussing a rapist who is probably going to be the 4th best QB in the division by the time he gets back on the field.

So were several other teams


How many of them had a #1 pick, Heisman winner, at qb already on the roster and signed.

I get wanting to upgrade, but their risk was way more substantial in stupidity.

To make that move, under those conditions, calls for many to be fired.

AND, they are still paying Mayfield who is basically untradeable with his contract..
I guess they could cut him,, still pay him,, and get ZERO when he signs elsewhere...all while Watson can't play

It's literally as stupid of a move as I've ever heard of

why would Baker play for them when they want him replaced at QB. Why would Baker help them out in anyway? Baker aint playing for them ever again.


I never said he would or should. But they haven't been able to move him with his contract, and so he is still on their team, on paper at least.

So, Watson gets suspended, Baker isn't playing...I don't care if they have 70M under cap...who the hell they gonna play at qb, that knows they'd be benched after suspension?

You know a lot more than I do or care to it seems. I personally dont feel like he or anyone for that matter is worth the risk of things popping up with him for 2-3 years. Too much negative pub and in creeps into the minds of the team. I say good luck but once the dust settles Cleveland still won't get a title out of this whole thing. At least Houston swallowed the loss and moved on. Cleveland raised their hand and said he is worth the risk. We will see.

Oh yeah.....LOL at Cleveland. Worst run organization in sports at this point. They willingly signed up for this cluster frick


I haven’t followed this that closely, so I just did some reading. Did Cleveland really trade THREE first round picks to acquire a QB with looming legal issues and sign him to a quarter of a billion dollar contract?

So you want us to believe he chose Cleveland over other franchises with equal offers? The chances of that are slim. They only two franchises that are even close to as bad are Houston and Jacksonville and neither were bidding

He went to the Super Bowl in year 1.5 retard.

I’m sure he’s really worked up about losing a couple games to Cleve as a rookie.

Cleve is obviously terrified, otherwise they wouldn’t be rolling the dice on the NFL’s Bill Cosby.

Yep..and they ran Baker M out of town...well.almost. they are still stuck paying him because he garnered no trade interest because of his high contract.

It's glorious seeing "professionals " frick up a franchise as often as Cleveland

If you want to be accurate about it, at least acknowledge Burrow didn’t play in week 18 last year due to them dominating the division and having the North locked up. And yeah, he lost 2 very tight games to the Browns as a rookie, by no fault of his own if you review those tapes. Both games were high scoring shootouts. 37-34 and 35-30 and I remember Cincy dropping an easy TD in one of those games. Obviously 1 game this year was a bit weird. But every team in the nfl has 1 weird game a season. That’s why they play 17 weeks. Cleve still is obviously terrified of Joey B considering the move for Deshaun. You are looking at things from a simpleton point of view. Obviously you don’t appreciate Burrow because you never got to reap the benefits of his talent as a Buckeyes and Browns fan. I’m sorry baw.


It’s not just Burrow. It’s Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, ect.
You have to have an elite QB to compete for a title today

I saw where the contract is basically a 4 year 229 million dollar deal… even though it’s 5 for 230 on paper… This was expected

Burrow didn’t even start the second game this year?? Why? Oh, because he locked up a playoff spot already.

He’s only had 1 bad game against the shitstains. He did his part…

316 3-0 90.6
406 3-1 112.5
282 0-2 70.0

Your new highest paid player that loves his arse penetrated is equal to Mitch Trubisky.

The Falcons and Saints were the other two finalists. Have a look at the top of both of those QB depth charts right now.
