With the breaking news that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery, it’s a good time to examine the Browns return on their $230M investment, along with them giving up three first-round picks, one third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks. 34 games into the 85 total games of the contract have delivered the following results:
- 11 full games at QB
- 7 total wins (when playing the entire game)
- 3 total games with above average play (measured by ANY/A)
Bills are happier than anyone that people are focusing on Watson and the Browns.
To be fair, they might be 40% of the way thru the duration of the contract, but they have to swallow 83% of the cap-hit for the contract.
I’m measuring it in sadness over time, so it’s actually pretty appealing that it’s 40% through.
The lasting negative impact of cap hits and wasted talent will just feel like business as usual, just without a serial sexual predator bringing down the whole vibe.
Better question, what does Watson/The Browns need to do to make this trade worth it?
If they win the Superbowl next year, does that even everything out?
If Haslam sells the team it was worth it in the long run. Chemo to kill the cancer.
:(
Doesn’t seem to be hurting them particularly when they’re 7-4 when he plays
Guys, they could have kept Baker Mayfield for HALF that money. They would be superbowl contenders with Baker right now.
DUCKS
I’d like to see the side by side of Watson and mayfield.
This is some fucking cosmic justice right here. Even knowing that eventually entropy will reduce everything we love to dust and beyond, it’s a balm for the soul to know that bad things can in fact happen to bad people. I’m talking about Watson and also the Haslams, Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski. Get fucking shat on, assholes.
That’s above league average, not his average.
Guys, Deshaun can get massages now! Lol!
Keep going… Im almost there
How many Watson threads are going to be made? This is like ridiculous.
Your metric is awful if the Ravens game is considered “below average performance”
Fuck the Haslams and unearned, inherited wealth that sustains jackasses like them
This post actually gave me a bit of happiness because it let me know we’re 40% through his contract. It seems like we’ll be stuck with that asswipe till the end of time.
