Browns season 2021

ESPN’s Dan Graziano says the NFL has offered a 12 game suspension to Watson’s side (would still make him apply for reinstatement) but NFLPA wasn’t going for it https://t.co/v9wxJNiedX

Biggest issue is that it sounds like he feels he's fine and doesn't need coaching. Months back when asked if he was going to work with a QB coach in the offseason to work out some issues, his response was something to the effect of "I don't need a QB coach. I can just watch tape and fix it myself."

I’ve heard this kind of thing too.  I love Baker’s spirit, but he seem like he’s very stubborn and also needs to get some humility with respect to his teammates.

This is part of the problem with him. When fans describe Mayfield we hear "he's got spirit, moxie, attitude....he's a gamer." Who were the QB's who fit that description in the past? Colt McCoy & Charlie Frye. 

You never hear "Baker will lead this team to a SB." "I'm confident he can bring us back from a 14 point deficit in the 4th quarter." "He's an elite franchise QB, etc."

Now I will say for a stretch in 2020 he played at an elite level but don't confuse that with being an elite player.

Again, wish him the best except week 1.

Agreed

Interesting

I’m told there’s a recording of an interview with the adult son of 1 of 12 women the NFL interviewed in the Deshaun Watson case —stating his mom initially was complimentary of Watson in their conversations after the massage, but later switched her account and tone after 1/4

Reading the other 3 continued tweets in his thread just makes it even worse.

The mother told the son she would reward him for his silence….

This just keeps getting worse and worse for the league. Brian Flores, Robert Kraft, Gruden, Snyder and now trying to force a square peg into a round hold with this Watson situation. Goodell needs to go.

And I'm not going to bet on it but I think there's a good chance we see Baker vs Watson in week 1. 

From the outside (and I’m not rooting for bad things for the Browns)….this stuff is all exhausting.

Will be cool to see actual games

I find it hard to believe nothing happened with Watson and some of the women. But there's a good chance the ones lying will ruin it for the ones who were actual victims. 

Week 1:

Carolina 21

Browns 20 

Typical

I agree that it's exhausting. Regardless of what they're saying (for optics) I think they last thing the league wants is a lengthy suspension. Long suspension = gloves come off of the NFLPA and all of the leagues dirty laundry starts getting exposed.

Deshaun Watson will not be suspended for any games… Revenge Tour incoming 👀 #Browns #DeshaunWatson pic.twitter.com/lmZL0lLi4q

No clue who that guy is though so it’s probably not real lol. 

So he knew early afternoon and it’s first I’m hearing if it?

Who is he getting revenge on? After 66 massages in 2 months or whatever….I imagine he’s in need of a massage.

I hate all this stuff whether it’s my team or not. Every team has criminals and just all-around ass hats. We watch because we love sports dnd they are the best in the world, no one wants their kid acting like 80% of them.

Play ball

It came up as an alert and I mistakenly thought he had a blue check mark. 

So, remember Mayfield's crapfest (4 INT's vs Green Bay) when he arrived in time for the game after coming off of COVID? Well apparently, instead of studying film/his playbook, he partook in three 10 hour sessions of playing Halo right up until he left for the game. 

And, there's this....
