He missed 11 games last year Played 6 in 2022 We're 5 weeks into the season Thats 22 games As of right now yes he does have a winning record. It's still early yall Look at Jared Goff people wrote him off now look at him. Theres alot of time left Jared Goff is a humble. Took getting traded as an opportunity and has played hard to re-establish his career and earn everything he is given. Watson is an entitled punk, who's elicited no remorse for his actions. He's constantly plays the victim and has no incentive to do anything with his contract. He's shown who he is. That part of him that chased greatness went out the window the moment Cleveland sold their souls for him.

Jameson_Neat Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Sitting out in Houston while still getting paid is his roadmap right now. Is pain-free a thing in professional sports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means he isn't at a threat to do any additional damage like he would be with a strain or a tear. It doesn't mean he would be effective or pain free. The team expected him to play 2 weeks ago and he sat himself. Now the team says they won't let him play until he can throw pain free. Which, ignoring that they are covering for the predator, makes the whole team look extremely soft. Now the question is, who returns first? Chubb from a devastating knee injury or Watson from his bruise. I'm calling it even money right now. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 This is weird. Whole situation just makes me thing Watson isn't that interested in playing football. Maybe he spent so much time away that he doesn't want all the physical hardships that go with it and is taking the easy way out.

I just couldn't no longer take being told why I wasn't allowed to have an opinion about football topics. In season it was because I wasn't watching games so I couldn't say we were underachieving, offseason I wasn't allowed to question anything about Watson because I'm a Baker fanboy (which I haven't been since he was no longer on my favorite team). I just never signed up to get irritated, only to enjoy myself. So... I post in NFL Gen where all the high quality posters post. Honestly I never understood the hate Gen got, sure there are wild takes but it's football, that is fairly normal. I still read the Browns subforum, just not as often. I'll be watching the Browns this week (just like I did last game) and rooting for my favorite team. As much as it hurts the team to not have an NFL caliber QB under center is as much as I enjoy being able to watch a game even if we look awful (been there many times before). With Watson not playing I'm not conflicted with rooting for my team and against my team's QB which makes me feel like I'm rooting against my team and I don't know how to comprehend that feeling So I just pass. Also, mike threatened me so I'm laying low. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that they believe PJ is better than a 80-95% Watson or Watson doesn't want to play so they are putting it on themselves so no one thinks ill of Watson. I know, neither of my theories makes any sense. Which is why we are here wondering wtf is going on. Medically he is fine. Legally we believe he is fine. Emotionally he is dead. Maybe the powers that be realize it wasn't going well and are looking for an excuse as to why things failed (proactively of course, the season is still young) so they can keep their paychecks. This situation and what they are sharing surely opens the gate for conspiracy theories. So let them begin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 What’s the incentive for him to play? He has shown in Houston that he doesn’t care about the team around him. He only cares about himself. When a tiger shows you its stripes, believe it. He has already gotten his guaranteed paycheck. I don’t doubt that he’s hurting but I know also he cares only for himself and has little reason to push through the discomfort. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys play injured all the time, and it’s not uncommon for those injuries to be exacerbated as a result. Guys re-injure or re-aggravate injuries and ailments. Like, Burrow was limping around for the first month of the season. He was cleared, otherwise he wouldn’t have been out there. That doesn’t mean his ankle couldn’t get worse, or that his bad ankle couldn’t turn into an even worse ankle. It certainly didn’t mean he was playing pain free or without limitation. They said Watson doesn’t have full juice on his arm right now, as a result of the shoulder issue. According to the team, he’s put out there that he’s not good enough to go. I don’t see why there needs to be more to it than that. We could guess and debate that sure, maybe he could tough it out…but it’s just conjecture. Not everyone is Matthew Stafford throwing a game winning TD pass on a separated shoulder…some guys are Jay Cutler on an exercise bike in the NFCCG.
