I think it will be bad if he comes out on a losing streak starting in week 7. If the team starts bad without him and then stays bad when he joins them, it likely will get unpleasant in a hurry. Being a sexual assaulter is one thing, being a loser as well...that won't fly. He will need to knock...

This never smelled right. The Boston media were all over this when Brady "retired" and they said he was actually working on something to play for the Dolphins with Sean Peyton coming in to coach. When whatever happened that the two of them could not join the Dolphins then Brady suddenly came out...

Well, lousy spot for a Browns fan to be. Best QB you have had in a long, long time and he is a serial sexual assault guy. If the Browns were good, basically Watson is the Darth Vader of the league. You can root against him all season long. Basically, it is hard to know at the moment what Watson...

I should say, that this looks like it will be the most exciting NFL season in a long time. Particularly if you like watching the AFC, which is basically stacked. The AFC West should be a barnburner to decide. The Bills look pretty damn good. The Bengals and Ravens should put on a show in the...

I have to think the big winner in this whole thing is Mayfield. A guy a lot of people did not like or were annoyed with but now, I think more people will be cheering for him to destroy the Browns than ever cheered for him before. So, the boost he gets from this, plus getting off of that Browns...

I don't think they want to suspend anybody. I don't think they want to be involved with punishment. I think the only time I have ever seen them act like they really wanted to suspend and punish someone it was Brady due to his supposed illegal ball handling. This they made a huge deal over, could...

Yes, the public will judge on their own but I don't think they should blame her because she just did her job. Looks lousy, smells terrible, but I mean I think that is why they got it out there that she was working off of just the 5 examples. Plus a labor arbiter would have to look at what past...

Probably part of why he got 6 games is the precedent set by the league with people like Ray Rice or Big Ben. Or good god, any of the other players that got a wrist slap or they buried the thing. The arbiter has to go by only what the league presents and what the NFLPA presents as a defense. 6...

Yes, this is the part I do not get, if the league wants to control their image they should do a far better job handling these things. They always do the exact wrong thing to promote a better image. With the Brady thing they turned that into a circus that stretched on forever and made the league...

I think it is far better for the league if the big name QBs play. The way they agreed to do these things now is with an outside arbiter which is why this woman was deciding the penalty. The NFL acts as the prosecutor and the NFLPA acts as the defense. In this case the "defense" said they would...

Not true, I just posted it here. Which makes me not a source.

I also wonder how Browns fans feel about this Is Watson a guy you feel good about rooting for?

I mean, isn't it odd that the Texans have to settle cases with 30 women, Watson settles with 20, and then his punishment is contained to 5 accusations?

I think what is really sneaky about this was that the NFL pretended to want at least a year suspension for him and claimed maybe more than that. All the while they asked Ms. Robinson to decide the case based on only 5 accusations. This is more than a little dishonest. If Robinson is looking at...

So, now we know why the suspension was so light, and it is pretty sad. The NFL was totally involved in this deal and here is how they did it. Instead of sending Ms. Robinson, the woman deciding the case, all of the info on what Watson had done, they sent over info on just 5 of the accusations...

I shoud add, Jimmy is open to taking a paycut to move. He is always a team player. So, he would probably take a paycut to lessen the amount the 49ers or his new team would need to pay.

There seemed to be a chance for a while that Jimmy Garoppolo would remain a 49er. Basically, at least as an insurance policy to Lance. However, it does not seem that will happen. There are a few teams with interest in him that want to make the trade. I think it will depend upon how the $24...

They should rapidly appeal so it at least looks like they are upset about it. Then even if they lose the appeal they can say "Hey, we appealed, we did not agree with that suspension." If they don't appeal it just looks bad and they can't sit around pretending "Hey, we want to be tough on this...

I think they should be absolutely thrilled with that suspension because it is less than the 8 game suspension they were hoping would be the maximum. Not sure the NFL will like it because it does not make them look great but technically, they did not make the call.

So, the big question is, how does adding Baker Mayfield to their QB room impact the Panthers. Their QB room for 2022 is now: Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold Matt Corral The Panthers did discuss having Cam Newton return but he is now out of the picture. They would not carry 4 Qbs and the 3 above...

I was not high on Mayfield either but Mayfield, so far, is a better QB than Darnold or Rudolph.

Pretty sure he is available, sadly he has played poorly now for several years. He could step on to a team and play but I doubt play well. He is probably a guy that sits around until a team is desperate for a QB. I think there are a bunch of back-up players now that could provide you better play...

And coaching high school football I think. To be clear, I have heard no rumors of the Browns pursuing Rivers. I was just reacting to the Watson suspension and the rumor that the Browns would look at other QB options if he got a full year. The rumors are the Browns have only looked at two QBs...

I think you are probably correct that he would not be interested. I think his idea was a starter on a contending team goes down during the season and he steps in to play out the year and go to the playoffs. I don't think the Browns fit what would be Rivers idea of what would be a good...

He just played a season for the Colts but he did not play last year even though he said he was willing to if a team needed him and they were a contender. I don't know if we can consider the Browns a contender as they really have not been. They have some talent on the roster and they think they...

That contract is insane but yes, it is designed so that this season when he was expected to have a suspension of some kind, he gets to keep his cash. I am guessing what the "indefinite" means is he has to behave while suspended and not have anymore come out that we don't yet know about. It's a...

Only one thing erases the stink of being a losing poorly managed team...winning. If or when Watson plays the pressure will be piled on to win games to try to make people forget the mess of the past. If they stumble with Watson leading the team, well, that will go really poorly for them. The...

Yeah, I think the Browns made a mistake with the Watson deal. They may have been sick of Mayfield but the best move probably would have been to ride him one more season, then move on. They now should just play Brissett, who is a good back-up and solid interim starter. I don't know what they will...

So, the NFL has said they want an "indefinite" suspension of Watson that lasts at least a year. Which, to me, seems an obvious defense against more stuff falling out of Watson's closet while he is suspended. That means it is not a definite that Watson plays in 2023. The Browns are likely...

I do think if they get a 5th round pick for him that is great for them. I think Rudolph will float around as a back-up for a while in the NFL but he is just that, a back-up and not a good one. Basically, with the way NFL teams like to do things now Rudolph should back-up a QB who is a similar...
