With the breaking news that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery, it’s a good time to examine the Browns return on their $230M investment, along with them giving up three first-round picks, one third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks. 34 games into the 85 total games of the contract have delivered the following results:
- 11 full games at QB
- 7 total wins (when playing the entire game)
- 3 total games with above average play (measured by ANY/A)
Better question, what does Watson/The Browns need to do to make this trade worth it?
If they win the Superbowl next year, does that even everything out?
If Haslam sells the team it was worth it in the long run. Chemo to kill the cancer.
This post actually gave me a bit of happiness because it let me know we’re 40% through his contract. It seems like we’ll be stuck with that asswipe till the end of time.
At least Watson is doing everything he can to make sure no other team ever gives a QB a 100% guaranteed contract.
Bills are happier than anyone that people are focusing on Watson and the Browns.
Sources: Berry is beside himself. Driving around downtown Tampa begging (thru texts) Brady’s family for address to Tom’s home
At this point Brady is looking for any excuse to sell bud share in the Raiders.
Reminder that his cap hit in each of the next three years is a little over 300% what it was this year.
It’s actually impressive how badly this has gone.
Yea, Browns should be devestated being 3-6 after all this. wait is that right?
Do you think there aren’t 20 QB’s who would have the Browns 6-3 at this point? You want 2-1 with his extremely mediocre rookie backup.
23rd in AY/A (behind Minshew lmao), 24th in QBR (a bad stat, but still), 21st in rating, 30th in success rate, 26th in completion percentage, 7/4 TC/INT ratio. He’s mediocre at BEST. Russel Wilson looks like an MVP in comparison.
I still remember when they benched Jacoby B having a very good year for Watson. This type of stuff couldn’t be happening to a better organization
Remember when Watson went 14-14 in the 2nd half and led a comeback against the Ravens? You guys really looked like shit there in the 2nd half. Fuck you and I hope you keep choking leads
Remember when he sexually assaulted dozens of women and got away with it, then was given an insane amount of money?
One fucking game lmao. Actually one fuckin half of a game. That’s all you got?
That team is far more likable with PJ.
I will happily read and enjoy every thread shitting on Deshaun Watson. keep em coming
but he’ll never ‘lose the lockerroom’ because this league is full of bigots and misogynists that will never be against a blackman playing qb, and will never believe he forced himself on those women.
dude could throw an int every play and never have teamates turn against him.
downvote into the abyss, it will still be true
He’s getting a quarter billion either way
To be fair, they might be 40% of the way thru the duration of the contract, but they have to swallow 83% of the cap-hit for the contract.
I’m measuring it in sadness over time, so it’s actually pretty appealing that it’s 40% through.
The lasting negative impact of cap hits and wasted talent will just feel like business as usual, just without a serial sexual predator bringing down the whole vibe.
:(
Fuck the Haslams and unearned, inherited wealth that sustains jackasses like them
Doesn’t seem to be hurting them particularly when they’re 7-4 when he plays
I’d like to see the side by side of Watson and mayfield.
