I mean that is like 40% of the reason why Champ became my fav. athlete.. He is super well spoken, extremely nice, didnt say a word in terms of smack talk and always was the #1 leader in community charity events. Not only was he obviously a great player but he was easy to root for. Similar to Chubb. That type of stuff makes you like a player just a little bit more than a guy with a questionable past, who acts like he doesnt want to be at a presser, does nothing but talk smack and how great he is on social media, ect. You just have to guard yourself for if/when your favorite athlete becomes a heel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both agreed to sell their morals for wins, Watson just picked the Browns. Hmm. I'll think on this. For now I am able to separate the players from the franchise ownership/FO; thus, if something happened like Watson quit on the Browns two years from now and forces a trade, I currently feel okay with coming back to cheer the team again. 1 minute ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: Hell the Saints did too and then went and re-signed another dude accused of sexual assault. Yeah, but let's not compare the two. This sounds like a bit of rationalizing/whataboutism(?). The serial nature of it...yuck. That said, just reading over the Winston allegations...second one seems like he groped a girl and the first was allegedly a rape allegation, though no charges were brought against him as a college student, which makes me believe it was pretty flimsy. All that said, you supply an interesting conundrum if I were currently an Aints fan. 1 minute ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: I get it. Don’t blame anyone at all who walks away. Same. I don't blame folks for staying but just can't do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vividly remember sitting at the patio bar down the street watching that draft and tweeting (back when I tweeted) "Anybody But Josh Allen" and it got like 4 likes. Which is my record high on social media. That broke my streak about being right about every single Browns move for 17 years straight. I wanted nothing to do with Allen, way too big of a question mark. I preferred Baker and was happy we drafted him. I still think he will be a good QB. If he lands somewhere that uses him correctly I expect a Jim Kelly type career. I thought Baker would break my streak of getting everything wrong for 17 years but nope.

DawgX Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Who's gonna replace freaky as mod? Zel is absent 90% of the time, and let's face it, the rest of us aren't mod material. Webby is gonna have to bring in a non-Browns fan to mod this forum lol. There's Reggie, but Webby didn't pay him enough to deal with our shenanigans.

I’m not saying “look how normal this behavior is”, I’m saying every one of these teams should be ridiculed and answering the same questions our FO will be. 7 minutes ago, NudeTayne said: That said, just reading over the Winston allegations...second one seems like he groped a girl and the first was allegedly a rape allegation, though no charges were brought against him as a college student, which makes me believe it was pretty flimsy.

nugpimpen Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 So is Tayne no longer a fan of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I hope we don’t have to trade a pick to get Baker out of here. 🤦🏽♂️ The fact he’s still on the roster worries me. Apparently Carolina doesn’t want him which I totally get. I hope Seattle is willing to send a 7th. Just get him off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason to be in panic mode.We don't have to be aggressive sellers, in fact that makes you desperate and hurts value. We can wait until a team realizes they don't like their starter, like Carolina or Pittsburgh or whoever and they become the aggressor which spikes his value. Or if a starter gets hurt in camp and they need someone to hold down the fort like say Tampa Bay. They would give up a lot if Brady went down and it looked like their season was over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had 18 million we could probably get another couple of free agents. If it meant fuller and a dt for a year I think it would be worth selling him off for a 6th to Seattle.

Kiwibrown Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Genuinely surprised at how little value Baker has. I thought he would be worth a 2nd or a 3rd atleast. The fact he hasn't gone is surprising. What worked against his trade value imo is the failure of Darnold and Wentz who were in a similar boat to Baker. Baker looked legit, only a year ago. Heck even the 1st few games of last year too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
