You'd have to assume Ryan is included with the Watson deal. So unless he was then flipped from Houston to Indy (which I dont think would happen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s likely the 17th best QB in the league, average QB, and four years in we know exactly 100% who he is. Also butthurt that the Browns were shopping for a QB? Nothing irritates me more than a sensitive QB. It’s a business… and you have been average at best. 14 minutes ago, BayRaider said: 100%. Nothing worse than a beta QB. Stay far away. 9 minutes ago, BayRaider said: The Browns had such a good window and roster and somehow it all went down the toilet in one year. Only the Browns could pull that off. 8 minutes ago, BayRaider said: Well no s***, but I’d rather draft a guy than give any capital for Baker 6 minutes ago, BayRaider said: Baker is not smart enough for Reich’s scheme.

Dude makes it sound like he was a franchise cornerstone for them lol Teams bring in RB's every single year because teams primarily use 2+ RB's now, and RB's are easily replaceable. Teams don't draft QB's high each year. Furthermore, teams generally don't come out and publicly trash their current QB whilst pursuing another QB in a trade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returners and QBs are very different things. As I said, dude makes it sound like he was a Cleveland lifer that fought off all sorts of competition on an annual basis. It's disingenuous.

Hunter2_1 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Cleveland just proved they think exactly the same on Baker as we do disappointed, would ideally like better and more consistency, not entirely sure where that comes from right now though and the draft isn’t ideal for QBs Edited March 17, 2022 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns basically trashed Baker. You don't do that to your franchise QB and then expect him to be like "Cool. See you in a few weeks." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get being irked personally, but good grief. Let's run through the other teams pursuing the Watson trade shall we? Saints - Their current starting QB is not a QB, who would be Watson's backup/3rd string QB. Has Jameis posted anything saying goodbye to NO? Idk. Atlanta - Their current starting QB is Matt Ryan, who would only be leaving the team if they included him in a trade package for Watson, so why would he be saying goodbye or demanding a trade? Carolina - Their current starting QB is Sam Darnold, who would likely be the backup to Watson if they landed him. So why would he post goodbyes? The only somewhat comparable situation is Atlanta. And Baker is demanding a trade because they're pursuing Watson and publicly trashed him whilst doing so. EDIT: looks like Carolina is requesting Sam Darnold seek a trade. Expect his goodbyes shortly... Edited March 17, 2022 by AFlaccoSeagulls 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
