In his time in the NFL which includes 8 starts he has a completion rate of 55.8% with 5td's and 14int's. Just for a little context. The isolated clip you chose to present is the longest pass completion of his career for 62 yards.
their playmakers are very good ... Oline not so much
we need a SF type performance from the D
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
I'll be optimistic , for once, and hope PJ can improve with more reps and playing time. He could become a good backup like other QB's have become. I just hate to see it with 11 games left in the season.
I'm thinking that the Seahawks strategy will be to force our offense to beat them. I could see them adopting the Colts' strategy of "chipping away" at our defense through the run game and simple, straightforward plays. Definitely a run-heavy offense. All to force our offense to actually put some points on the board.

We’re going to lose and it will be my fault. The 18 year old grandson made his first ever money bet with me at the beginning of the season. He put $10 bucks on his Seahawks to beat our Browns. Even though we should be rolling this team, somehow I got the feeling he’ll be collecting.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
He's likely far from a a finished product and can absolutely improve greatly on his body of work thus far, but the odds of it happening in the next few days is kinda slim. I think we can expect to see more of what we've seen, which is probably a turnover or two, but just maybe he settles down a little and can sling a few, too.
He only has to do enough to keep their D somewhat honest and not do anything to lose the game for us.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
PJ is exactly as advertised, a young Tyrod Taylor-like QB. He can win games, but he’ll scare the hell out of you doing it.
he is nothing like tyrod taylor.. Taylor would be a massive upgrade to Walker. Walker is more like Spergon Wynn

PJ has done enough to make an NFL roster. His background before is like Kurt Warner. Borderline backup gets cut. Goes and plays in the XFL.
He is like a 28 year old rookie.
PJ doesn't even know how he will play. He has never been in this situation before.
Honestly I don't know what to expect from him. He made some plays. He threw ints. That is no surprise.
He has not played with this team. He had some games with the Panthers.
This week he is getting the start. He will practice for three days. I mean how much can we expect? The Seahawks are a damn good team 4-2. Playing at home where they do very well.
PJ is now on the front lines. All we can do is hope. Sometimes players get their chance and seize the day.
1. him receiving ALL of the reps and game plan for a week will help 2. him feeling more comfortable in a game situation will help 3. our defense must play at a higher level to help
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
there was ONE big positive that I noticed last game: two times (I think once to Njoku and maybe once to DPJ) he felt pressure and stepped UP into the pocket for completions.
I also think the screen game is dangerous with him because he holds it until the LAST second
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Maybe the screen game could actually help him? Sorta like it does an RB that just needs to see some positive yards to get started, or a shooter that needs to see a free throw go through the net?
A 28 year old rookie? He as been with the Panthers for the three previous seasons, played in 15 NFL games before signing with the Browns. He has only completed 55.8% of his passes with 5td's and 14 int's.
Actually he played 15 games in Carolina. He has now played in 17 games. The evidence may not be clear on "what he can be" in the future. But the evidence is quite clear on "what he is now". And we have a very talented team for Cleveland to be his training ground. Try doing the same thing looking at Dobbs stats and tell me he wouldn't be a vast improvement.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
DTR was a low draft pick project with good upside. Dobbs has never really been much. He was ok as a backup but not my first choice.
My preference in backups is aging veterans who have been starters before. Mariota, Darnold, Winston, guys who have done something.
They can fill in and give you a chance.
I don't know the whole story with Jacoby. I don't know if we offered him a contract. When he went to Washington was he told he would have a chance to start? I don't know.
I would have liked him as the backup.
I place high importance on the backup quarterback. I thought it was foolish to expect DTR to be the backup.
Dobbs is doing much better than any backup the Browns have on the roster and it's not even close. You claim he is an "okay backup" which is a huge advantage to where the Browns are now. He is currently passing for a 62% completion rate and has thrown 6td's to 3int's. I mean we can all make excuses as to why we're in the position we're in. But Dobbs was here, he is obviously better and they traded him away for a ham sandwich and a six pack. It is what it is.

The Dobbs trade might go down as the Achilles heel of this season if this ends up being a nagging thing for Watson for the remainder. My rotator was iffy for well over a year after I rocked it. I also didn’t repture it, nothing could be seen on scan. But boy I felt it. I would lay off for a few weeks, feel a little better, pop some advil, get back in the pool or on the mat and boom, it would come right back. I had to completely shut down all my upper body dependent athletic stuff for 5 months of PT and rest The shot does help a lot but it wears off and if you’re not careful you potentially screw it up even worse.
Anyway, Dobbs looks easily as good as Brissett, on a much worse team to boot. I don’t necessarily fault mgmt for dealing him, every move is measured risk/ reward, but hindsight is a cold bird in this case. They obviously thought they had more than they have right now with DTR. It was the ravens in Baltimore so about as tough a task as there is for any QB, let alone a low draft pick rookie early in the season but they’re probably smart to keep him in development off field for now. But if PJ goes down, things will get very interesting.
Count on this though… Seahawks are gonna sell out on the run and blitz hard on passing downs. Im sure they realize this. Hopefully they’re practicing lots quick outs. Maybe a bomb or two to keep the secondary back a bit. PJ does have a rocket, can throw it 60 yards. Just hopefully, you know, not to the other team.
"Team Chemistry No Match for Team Biology" (Onion Sports Headline)
We have just won two very close games with a backup.
The record is 4-2. We have a tough road game this weekend. DW is week to week. Doctors report that this type of injury will heal.
The trade deadline is Tuesday. The season has eleven games to go. Anything could happen.
The one real damper was losing Nick. That hurt like hell. The DW stuff? I think we just have to be patient.
See how he plays when healthy. I know the fans are impatient. The swirling winds surrounding DW are media feed. The national press loves story lines like "the worst trade in history." They feed on that kind of crap. Then when things turn. They adjust. "We all knew that if he played like he did before this team is dangerous."
I have grown weary of the drama. I turn the game on at game time and watch the game. It is entertainment. I move on quickly.
When you look around at all the teams. KC is a happy fan base. They have Mahomes. No other fan base is really satisfied. There are always complaints about something. Name the city. Someone is bitching.
For me at least this actually has nothing to do with DW. Injuries happen and that is beyond a players control. This issue for me is we all know injuries happen and so should this FO. The total lack of having a legitimate contingency plan at the QB position is the problem here.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
You turn on a game and you see passes, runs, catches, and throws.
All of that is dependent upon what happens at the LOS. This game will depend upon what happens at the LOS as well.
Seattle has issues on the OL. They are ranked 25. This is where we can win this game. Geno is accurate. He has good receivers. Their run game is ranked 20th. Passing game is ranked 13th.
Geno is a pocket passer. You would not consider him mobile. He can move but he is not a run threat.
Pressure, pressure, pressure is the name of the game.
Don't turn it over and apply pressure is where a win can be had.
The Browns base defense is single high safety with the corners in man.
Often pre-snap the safeties line up in split. Post snap one rotates down. The other remains back in single high robber and we are in cover three.
This is about front pressure. One safety becomes either a zone coverage guy or he supports stopping the run. That can be in the flats or up the middle.
Schwartz wants fresh bodies moving the LOS backward and stopping the rush on the way.
When we get those qb pressures. Quarterbacks get uncomfortable and rush passes. That is where good man coverage can get turnovers.
Our defense is going to keep us in games. On offense we have to protect the ball and be efficient. Do not force passes. Don't be afraid to punt. The defense will give us more chances.
