Dobbs a Lion.

Good for Dobbs. I liked him and hope he gets the chance to see the field again at some point.

NR = Not Ranked due to not having snap minimum

SCALE:
100 - 90 = Elite level of play
85-89 = Pro Bowl level of play
84-70 = Starter level of play
69-60 = Backup level of play
59-0 = Replaceable level of play

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, are you trying to say Watson is replaceable after one game? Really? lmao

Are you saying that Watson's performance was anywhere near respectable? Watson's PFF Grade after 1 game is not a validation of his skill level, it's a grade of the performance that he demonstrated on the field. His level of actual performance was at the replaceable level. By your thinking, Watson should be classified as Elite whether his level of play dictates that or not? Excuses aside, and OMG I know there's a bunch of excuses, the level of play demonstrated by Watson in his first game back after 700 days was graded out at 55.8 which is unacceptable play from a QB and a starting point for where he is right now. Now if Watson's performance against the worst team in the NFL is acceptable for you then so be it, that's your opinion. The PFF Grade earned for his performance is what it is, a snapshot of his actual performance on the field, nothing more - nothing less.

Browns claim Jaelon Darden, place Anthony Schwartz (concussion) on IR.

Darden is a small/fast WR and return prospect, and the Browns obviously view him as worth a shot.

Lmao. Don't have a meltdown, steve. His play was certainly unacceptable in his first game after not playing for almost two full years. But he was considered elite before, and there should be a little leeway to get back to his best form. Maybe he won't, or maybe he will but reacting like he's replaceable after one game is hilarious. I mean, seriously, it's not even in the realm of possibilities. Now, of course, if he stinks the rest of the year, then we should be crapping our pants.

OCD, you must be mistaken or something to assume that I had anything to do with Watson being in the replaceable level of the PFF. Any QB that performs at the 55.8 grade level is in the replaceable level. That's not a shot at Watson, it's just where his lack luster performance has him within the scale. It's no different than with Ward. He supposedly received a mega contract because he was playing elite according to Berry. He's sucking eggs this year and has had concussion issues and certainly not going to be replaced as long as Berry is here but his performance on the field none the less through 12 games grades out at 47.6 and ranked 107th of 119 CB's ranked. PFF doesn't take into consideration playing to get the rust off or in Wards case a concussion. Anyway, there was nothing I did to place Watson where his performance placed him.

Straight to the IR with a concussion? I don't believe I've ever seen that before.

I guess there's a possibility we may see him in the final game this season. If not, I wish him well in his future endeavors. I don't think a career in the NFL is in the cards.
