Do you have anything beyond wild speculation to think that he was the driving force behind the Watson acquisition? So…he isn’t the driving force behind the GM, HC and QB selections. Maybe that Amari Cooper pickup? Quote

From what I know his role is to help set up the organization. He’s got his guys installed finally, but I don’t know what he does beyond that. I’m not sure why it would matter anyway. Getting back to comparing Allen and Watson. It’s a lot closer than people around here think. Take a look at their best statistical seasons, both in 2020: QB1: Comp %: 69.2 Passing yards: 4,544 TDs: 37 Int: 10 Rating: 107.2 QB2: Comp %: 70.2 Passing yards: 4,823 TDs: 33 Int: 7 Rating: 112.4 It might surprise people which one was better in 4 of the 5 categories.

If his role is he’ll set up the organization, he’s been a rolling disaster since he arrived. He has kept the Browns tradition of being a league laughingstock alive and well. As for “his guys”, Berry was one of “his guys” a few years ago. No he’s back as GM and the first thing he does is overpay for Watson (Depodesta had to be involved in pulling that trigger). Nice! At least they have that analytics guy! Even forgetting the ridiculous cost of acquiring him, Absolutely no one would pick Watson after his 4th year over Allen after his 4th season. 1 Quote

Not sure how you can quantify the punishment of a suspected (highly probable) serial sexual predator who has assaulted numerous victims and has shown no sign of remorse. Anyone who has a daughter, wife or mother should be appalled if this guy plays in another down in the NFL. 🤮 1 Quote
K D Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 my guess is 8 games. shame on the NFL and the NFLPA 3 2 Quote
Warcodered Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 I hope at least a season but I'm not getting my hopes up. 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 Personally I'm rooting for 16 games. I believe that would be the worst outcome for him financially. Quote
Mr. WEO Posted July 31, 2022 Posted July 31, 2022 Goodell can take any decision other than "no suspension" and toss it aside and pick a number the owners (minus Haslam) really want .... Quote

Both can be true but it's up to the lawyers to present evidence and the grand jury can only go by what's in front of them. The NFL has the full story and is not beholden to the same judicial practices. So yes, shame on them 1 Quote

So what the heck is going on here? The grand jury deals with criminal charges based upon what was presented to them. It’s very different from civil charges. The NFL is concerned with the image of the league. Do you think this has been good for the league? I don’t have a guess how this turns out, but it has definitely blemished the shield. I’ll wait and see, but if he were the Bills QB I’d take a step back until something changed. I feel bad for Browns fans as I kind of relate to them. It’s hard to get behind the Browns FO with this hanging over them. A serial sexual predator as your QB is hardly a selling point for 1/32 of your league and tarnishes the entire league to some degree. There is no question, this reflects poorly on the NFL. There are rules against that. Sadly, it’s more complicated because the owners have not been held to the same standard (by themselves, basically) often enough. . Edited August 1, 2022 by Augie Quote
