I think the whole article hits the nail on the head as far as how things progressed with Watson and his injury ... what I am most curious about is this line from the article. Is it fact or conjecture? If the Commanders are dealing veterans - it's a no-brainer. If this is conjecture then the reality of being able to trade for a quality backup is completely different.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

I have no idea as to what the Commanders have in mind. I do know I trust Pluto as a sportswriter even when I disagree with him. He's pretty solid.
I just know that the current backup QB situation is what I consider unforgivable. Let's face it, there aren't even 32 legitimate top shelf QB's in the NFL or you wouldn't see so many questionable/borderline QB's starting in the NFL. But with the defense the Browns have a simply serviceable backup QB could make a big difference in the W/L column. It just seems like with the talent assembled and the salary you are paying out for that talent in salary, pinching pennies at the backup QB position wasn't a smart move.
We all know players get injured. So does this FO. That FO traded Dobbs away for a fifth round pick while giving up a seventh round pick in return. Leaving us in a very perilous situation at the backup QB position. I thought it was a foolish move then and it's looking even more foolish now.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Playing the Devil's Advocate: What if DW comes back next week and is either still not medically ready, or is OK but plays like he did against the Colts. Anyway you slice it, we still need a serviceable backup QB (which we don't seem to have at the moment).....

I certainly agree with you. I think they should have had that scenario in place before the season began. I also don't believe anyone in the media has any idea when he will return. I believe it's nothing more than pure speculation on his part. That's why I stated, "For what it's worth."

Exactly and with our history of luck our FO should know better. If we the fans can see it why can’t they

Exactly and with our history of luck our FO should know better. If we the fans can see it why can’t they I don't mean this the way it's going to sound, but do you really want the FO making decisions based on the team's history of bad luck? How could you ever settle in a roster if you are worried your players will experience bad luck injuries? And I don't mean not having a plan for backup players, but teams make personnel decisions all the time and sometimes they keep guys who aren't ready when the guy they released turns out better.

I actually believe that there is a possibility the FO might be worried if they bring in a Brissett - he'd out perform DW when DW is healthy. Not saying it's likely - I think it's possible, which is quite sad.

I don't think Watson will play for another 3-4 weeks. If not longer.

Fort, at the most important position on your team, QB, you have to prepare for a worst case scenario, that your QB could suffer an injury and be out a significant amount of time. If I were the Browns GM I would make sure I had a more than capable back up to step in. AB did not and look at the mess we're in. We're on the cusp of another lost season because of it.

We had breakdowns defensively in the big spot today ... and our front 7 didnt nearly affect the game in the clutch like we needed
I'd say we definitely need an upgrade at LB
"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."

You guys are arguing about how really really good teams won their SBs.

Mary Kay Cabot @MaryKayCabot · 4m Updated: Will Sunday's game between #Browns & #Cardinals be a battle of 2 5th-round rookie QBs? Could happen. J. Gannon might opt for Clayton Tune & Kevin Stefanski could turn back to Dorian Thompson-Robinson if Deshaun Watson isn't ready

can't see the ball in the other two tweets, but it seems to have pretty much nothing on it in this video.
Give all the reps to someone else.

It's kinda hard to get excited about passes I could make after jumping up from the picnic table. It is what it is... at least he's "throwin' the ball". I don't think we'll see him in this week's game.

Please you see a clip from warm ups and ya'all know.
Nothing that is what you know.
Watch the whole practice. Show me tape of the offense running a play at full speed.
Show me a pro-day workout where every throw on a field is made. The head coach is watching. The OC and QB coach are watching.
When you can complete a full practice workout. You are ready.
This is not astrophysics.
