At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

I am glad that the Browns made that happen.
A fan favorite of mine and many others.

One of my all time favorites. ❤️
Very very happy this happened.

As it should be. I'm happy to hear that all parties made this possible.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I'm torn on this...
The fact they are doing this recognition/celebration the same day as Watson's first home start seems like a PR stunt to suppress some of the angst toward Watson and hype the crowd about Chubb before the game. I'd prefer it to be more about Chubb than it being (possibly) about that.
But I get it.

Chubb loves Cleveland and Cleveland loves Chubb. I am SO glad he will officially retire a Brown!
If it's not Chaos, it's not Cleveland.

The NFL is a short career for most running backs.
Nick was that guy you wanted forever. You didn't want him to age. You just wanted Nick to be what he was.
It started from the day he arrived. No frills. No boasts. Little talk. Just a baller.
I am very partial to the run game. I grew up with Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, Leroy Kelly.
I love to watch a pounding run game. Run it down their throats with a late lead and never give them the ball.
Be able to run it when they know it's coming.

one of my favorite browns ever ... really had a career about half as long as he should have, and he would have been a HOFer
He deserves any ceremony he receives
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

But I get it. I predicted the timing of this immediately after DW was named the starter.

But I get it. You know... I didn't even consider this angle but you're probably right. I'm just going to enjoy it (if that's the right word) for what it is but I can certainly understand how some think it's tainted.

But I get it. That thought hadn't even entered my mind. So it appears as it pertains to me, if that is their plan it worked. This casts a totally different light on the situation for me. It makes perfect sense. I'm happy Chubb is retiring as a Browns but just as yourself I'm now questioning the motivation for the timing.

Or this is just the 1st home game since Nick Chubb retired. Happy for Chubb that he gets this moment. He deserved it.

Lot of class here. Whatever DW brings doesn't tarnish, diminish, or overshadow Chubb, his career, and his contributions to Cleveland. Thank you, Nick Chubb! Enjoy retirement, but don't be a stranger. Congratulations.
