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.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By thennek · Posted

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
