by Decision One – Roger Goodell overruling the decision that Deshaun Watson would only miss the first 6 games of the season.
After months of debate with a independent arbitrator, Goodell showed his ego once again and pretty much whatever he wanted anyways by moving the suspension to 11 games, and ending any chance the Browns had at consistently good quarterback play.
To his credit, Jacoby Brissett hasn’t been terrible this season, but he is far from what they expect Deshaun Watson to be. At most, Brissett could win them 3 or 4 games, and that is exactly where the Browns are after 10 games played with one more to go. Crazy enough, he just had his best game of the season Week 10 versus a great Buffalo defense with 300 plus passing yards and 3 touchdown passes.
On the year he has over 2400 yards passing with 11 touchdowns and only 5 picks. Not bad, but not the kind of numbers and decision making you need from your top quarterback. 3 of those 5 picks, cost them big and happened late in games when they absolutely couldn’t.
The 5 games the Browns get Watson back for, will be a small sample of what they can expect in 2023, despite the rust. If Watson doesn’t ball out in three of those games, it is going to be a long offseason of doubt and second guessing.
They will be lucky to win another game. Their defense is more than terrible!
This is a very accurate article. Only thing that’s is missing is the firing of Joe Woods!
If we have the talent and they’re not playing that way,then they need a new teacher!
It’s always the same thing. Cleveland should by now have a zero tolerance for losing. Come on when a undergrad could do better at coaching . Here’s your sign. These people get way to much time. It’s not like they lose to close scores they get killed. The talent is there but the teachers are not. Haslam has to demand better for his fans.
Need better coaching you have talent need to get better performance from them
Comment simple as this Haslam needs to step up out of the shadow of his wife,tell Stefanski hand over playcalling ,Fire Woods or u r on the unemployment line!!! Simple as that….I hate to say it but our last good Owner was,Yes,Mr. Modell!!! At least he had numerous winning seasons and the last divisional crown that we have had!!!
I’m not knocking Cleveland this year. They made a strategic move just like everyone else does. They went out and got a really good QB. Now all they have to do is make it through the season with a healthy core that they have. Next year plan to tighten up the Defense, maybe get a couple steals on offense. Regardless, most of the games they have lost this season have been by 3pts or less. That’s not bad, their not getting blown out. I look forward to next year. Cleveland should make the play offs.
