Or it could just be a heavy dose of karma.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Not dismissing the opinions of others or yourself, but I think the constant negativity by several posters is a turn-off for most people. I also think that the constant attacks by the Baker Mayfield fan base on others who try to be objective deters others from posting.

If only you were actually being objective that would certainly help.

In years past, when we'd hit this point in a failed season, we'd shift to talking about what needs to be fixed, what players we should get, etc.... but, here we are with a nearly stacked roster and we're still seeing the exact same ineptness we've seen for over two decades.


....which leaves us dumbfounded or certainly dispirited, hence a lack of enthusiasm leading to lower participation. Just my take...

Can we expect Jacoby Brisset to win the Bengal game with his outstanding @uarterback play.

I do. (No mas give him a pass.)

I think the roster is a lot less stacked than when the Browns beat the Cowboys in 2020.

888...just another WASTED YEAR, filled with promises and failures.

IMO, the coaching staff didn't work hard enough to teach football in the offseason and preseason and that led to giving games away that the Browns should have won.

I'm not sure that the Browns players believe in this coaching staff after losing games we should have won. That is also a real turn off for the fans who recognize a mess when they see one.


This could not be more true.

For me, this season finally broke me. The Jets game finally broke me.

You could give the Browns a HOF player in their prime at every position and they would find a way to screw it up. That's just the way it is.

So I ask myself...what's the point?

Trading away Rashard Higginz and Baker Mayfield for Jacoby (inconceivable) Brizzett and Anthony Schwartz and 3 first round draft pickz and 230 million dollarz ----> (the inflated bag of doritoz price),
and Rishuz finally asks what iz the point?

Analyze that .

Well, going into tonight's game, the Browns will be giving the Texans the #7 pick so far in the 2023 first round for the Watson trade. Just saying.........

I don’t think us not having Higgins is the reason we stink haha. We’ve stunk my entire life.

I don't think allowing Higgens to walk and trading Baker has anything to do w/our struggles. Hell, it's addition by subtraction. Both are sucking the joint up in Carolina. I don't think Higgins even has a catch this year and Baker is/was the worst starting qb in the league. A dude named PJ Walker, or something like that, has moved ahead of him.

Talk about derailing a post as we get to see the Baker hatred spewed all over every topic by him. Funny, the Browns sucking has nothing to do with the former QB but Vers is still trying to make it relevant.

I doubt it unless that injury happens.

That isn't so much to comment on Baker. With a new coach in house and the team trading off established stars, it's pretty clear the Panthers are in rebuild mode. They will probably stick with the young guy. They will probably be picking near the top in a top heavy QB class this next draft.

Baker is at that crossroads many QB's have faced. He may latch on somewhere and regain starter status, but more probably he is headed towards one of those upper level back-up roles much like Fitzpatrick. A guy who bounces from team to team and starts a lot but is never quite the guy to get past that 2 year deal.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

I can agree with this if his reputation can be repaired at all. I think there is a chance he won't play or catch on anywhere. I think he'll play again, but I don't have a clue what that will look like.

That too, but for the most part reputations can always be repaired. Mostly, it just takes some time if the effort is there.

I think Baker is a decent QB. Now that he is removed from Cleveland and the #1 overall tag he should be able to settle in to some role now that some of the expectations have been removed. This year in Carolina was the time needed for that to happen.

It was Berry's worst performance in my opinion. Nothing was believable. I was also disappointed in the media. How about asking the question "what is a successful season?"

Berry acted like we are exactly where we are supposed to be at 3-5.

The only thing I believed him on was his unequivocal support of Stefanski. Much to my chagrin.

Not sure. We had two that year. The first one was Corbett and the second, Chubb.
