That was the most BS part of the article! Cleveland?! Superbowl? That last happen in the sixties dude, 1965.

Panthers have been there twice since 2003.

These media hype jobs are really twisting some impressionable noodles.

The past doesn't really matter.

Objectively speaking, Cleveland is way closer to being a Super Bowl team then we are right now.

He's not wrong about that.

History has yet to record this "closer", odds aren't in their favor although the pundits are... hilariously.

I think they are also closer than what's left of the Falcons and also the Saints. 

It wasn't like KC, Buffalo, or the 2021 Rams were seeking his services.

After Browns acquired Watson there was negativity from a woman business owner in Cleveland.

They have been on spin control since the moment the trade happened.  It's been a constant stream on the nfl network for days.

If it's football strictly....I'm not sure I'm buying what he's selling.  If it's a better roster than the other choices left...that may be true, or may not...the Saints do have talent on their squad.

What I'm getting at is....in the AFC you have Allen, Herbert, Mahomes, Russell, Jackson, Burrow, and to a lesser extent Carr, Ryan, Tannehill, etc...

That is a brutal spate of QB's to go trophy hunting against...in the NFC...what?  An OLD Brady and an almost OLD Rodgers.

If I wanted to win big, I don't think that I'd be in the AFC...and right now you have two legendary teams who are waiting in the background as well in the Pats and Steelers.

Yes, he literally called the panthers to ask for a similar deal and they said no. 

This article states it was written from Watson's perspective. I wonder why Breer never mentioned they called the Panthers at the last minute looking for a similar deal?

It wasn't last minute.

Reports said he called about that before he eliminated us. We said no and were told we were out later that same day.

Whatever the exact timeline, it just seems odd that Breer didn't even feel the need to mention it.

Yeah like others said, this was a money decision.  With that in thought, he was smart and probably made the right decision.   The fact that they saved him from losing money for a suspension may be the next big news story and I wonder what the league office thinks of this kind of structure.   

I thought it would be fun to have Watson here but realistically we're not often at the top of destination lists but I hope this all works out in the end.

    • This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.
    • they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now. 
    • He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.
