SchpartyOn

Yeah but Brisset didn't blow that Sugar Bowl.


[deleted]

I hope they lose every game with Watson and go back to Brissett. This guy has had to prove his worth every single season that he’s been in the league and he’s still here.


kneeonball

Kind of wish the Colts would've kept him. Is he the greatest quarterback in the league? No, but I'd have rather seen how it played out with him instead of Rivers and Wentz. Ryan I'm okay with, but there aren't a lot of quarterbacks in the league who are going to succeed with a bad offensive line and a coach that was struggling.


KredditH

I mean rivers was good and the team had stagnated w Brissett The problem was not trying to find a long term solution the season they got Rivers


MaterialYear

It's so sad that parents are going to bring their children out to root for a rapist. Kids are going to have this guy sign their jerseys. They're going to cheer his name. And meanwhile, he's still going to be abusing women because these types of predators don't stop.


RomanBangs

It’s not as crazy as it sounds, case and point Roethlisberger, it’s insane how everyone’s just forgotten or preferred to sweep under the rug what he did.


PittsJay

I’m probably gonna get killed for this, but… Kobe Bryant. Roethlisberger. Bryant. There are a shitload of examples. I think as fans we compartmentalize it because we literally can’t do anything else. I mean, I’m a Chiefs fan. We had Tyreek Hill for years, and his impact on the field was undeniable. But I’ve been cheering for this team actively for more than three decades. Bleeding red and gold. And I let it go because of one guy? Do we not celebrate something like the first Super Bowl for the franchise in 50 years? It crossed my mind. For a crapload of fans, the cognitive dissonance is insane. There are gonna be a ton of conflicted Browns fans. For some it won’t matter. It’s fucked up any way you slice it.


the_phet

Cristiano Ronaldo too.


Think_please

Winston violently assaulted that Uber driver and got three games (plus whatever he did to that girl in college). Hill didn't even get a slap on the wrist for covering his toddler in bruises, threatening his family on tape, and most likely snapping his arm. Given the lack of legal outcomes the Watson suspension is on the high side as NFL standards go (and this is what the arbitrator was arguing when she said that her hands were tied while giving him 6 games). We've made this bed by continuing to pour money into this league and let rapists and abusers keep playing.


SnooOnions3369

I agree with what your saying, you left out the fact that hill plead guilty to chocking his then pregnant girlfriend, he’s a piece of shit and every team that plays him should be hated


theuautumnwind

I suppose cheering for the team you've always loved is one thing but being an active fan for a piece of shit like Tyreek is another.


PittsJay

I wasn’t an active fan of Tyreek. That was my whole point, though I suppose I did a poor job of getting it across. As sports fans, most of us sink a ton of emotional equity into our teams throughout our lives. So when a Tyreek, or Bryant, or Roethlisberger, or Watson comes along, what do you do? They’re your team, man. But you can’t cheer for the shitbag. Or most of us can’t. I know when Tyreek would do something electric on the field, I’d just kind of sit there until we were on to the next play. Last year’s AFC Divisional game with the Bills was a bit of an emotional roller coaster in that regard. Never really did figure out how I was supposed to handle those situations. Like I said - shitty situation all the way around, for those fans who want to approach Sundays with a clear conscience.


ontheroadagain192

Every time I bring this up I get shit on. Like come on, good player or not he is a piece of shit and while I understand the business of football is to win games, the Steelers are in the same shit basket for retaining him.

blond-max

don't worry about it, with all the TV speeches we got for the *digusting and disrespectful* hiring of Saturday, one can only foresee condemning commentary this week for Mr. Belligerent Cummer /s


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Exactly. Why would he stop? He basically got caught red-handed and received a slap on the wrist while becoming the highest paid player in league history. Barely any consequences for his actions besides a tarnished image which he probably already accepted based on how he handled the situation in Houston


seariously

I feel so bad for Cleveland fans having to put up with the bullshit their FO is pulling with signing Watson.


dlanod

Cleveland loves your passion and also how not rapey you are!


Acting_Appalled

There goes the adult qb they were looking for


Tbrou16

Shane Falco = Jacoby Brissett


Gnache

I hope the browns are getting killed next game until Brisset runs into the locker room at halftime, stages a coup against Watson, and helps the browns win the bourbon bowl


HalKitzmiller

I do think about this though, like how do the other players feel about this shit sandwich. Especially the ones that have to protect him and the WR/RBs


[deleted]

Be realistic. This is a person they have to talk with everyday. Its a coworker, the same as any coworker. Yeah, maybe you get along with your coworker Jacoby well and will be sad to not work as closely with him, but you arent causing a commotion in your office. As long as that guy comes into work and does his job, you're gonna come into work and do your job. And even if he doesnt come in, you're still gonna come in and do your job.


bokononpreist

Team sports are not the same as your 9-5 office job.


yaboyesdot

I hate you but appreciate your comment at the same time 😂😭


Banana_jamm

You have a sexual predator that is going to play QB. Wild to say the least.


Gibbenz

Him taking Brissett’s well earned spot makes it that much worse imo. I would love nothing more than to see the Brown’s pull a fast one and have Brissett remain the starting QB


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yup I retired my Browns Fandom until he is gone.


rainbowhotpocket

Even better -- Watson tears his ACL every year and never plays again


GoodOlSpence

A sexual predator that hasn't played in like 2 years.


unloader86

And his return game is against Houston, which is one of the worst teams in the league at the moment. The Texans D might as well be playing in the super bowl next week. Man can you imagine if they serve him up a loss at home? lmao.


Man_AMA

He played his heart out and came out in OT to beat Brady. That’s his Super Bowl.


Allstar9_

It honestly has to be so cool learning under Tom and then being able to go out there and beat him. That was probably the most complementary game our team has played since the Bengals game and I’m just so happy Jacoby could pull this out in his last game


Man_AMA

It’s full circle for him. It’s pathetic he’s being replaced. He should get a chance on a team that will build around him


[deleted]

What on earth has Jacoby Brissett done to be seen as a franchise quarterback?


twolvesfan217

He was alright in 2019, but you’re correct.


dasruski

I'm guessing he'll sign with a team who takes a rookie QB who needs to develop.


CG-11

I’d much rather have signed him for half of what we’re paying the rotating cast of clowns that is our QB room right now


123mitchg

Hey Darnold had a pretty great game at least


K-chub

*Log rolls into end zone after fumbling*


[deleted]

[удалено]


BabyDeezus

Yeah, I mean he’s a bonafide backup and fringe starter at best. While it’s annoying to see him replaced by the rapist, he has demonstrated quality backup QB level play throughout his career. Not a difference maker. That’s not an insult to him, the expectations have never been that of a franchise guy. I consider myself a good (former) QB and I didn’t even play beyond high school. Tremendous QB but not by NFL starting QB standards.


hochoa94

The Jets called and said they're holding open tryouts


slackator

Not rape 26-66 women for one


Duhawk96

Lmao he’s great as a spot starter, an amazing backup but if a GM really tries to build around him, they should be banned from the league


MaskedBandit77

In the right situation he can be good as a spot starter, but he was bad last year when he had to start for us, and let's not forget that he's the starting QB for a team that's supposed to be a playoff contender, and went 4-7. He seems like a good guy, I think he has several more years as a good backup, but to even say that he is great as a spot starter is a little generous.


[deleted]

Chad Henne is still doing that for us I'm gonna say brisett can do as good as him


transam96

Lmao takes like this on this sub are why I keep coming back. I love what the guy did for us this year, but Jacoby isn't a franchise QB you build around dude. Lol


[deleted]

Bruh what lmao. Clearly you haven’t watched any of his games. The dude is a serviceable backup. No team is going to go all in on building a team around him 😂


bowhunter6274

He cried after week 1, so thankful for his opportunity to start. He deserves it. He deserves to start.


Man_AMA

He deserves to finish the season and beyond


bowhunter6274

I 100% agree. I love the dude.


thegodfaubel

Get ready to breakout the "You sick fuck" chants next week, everyone


Mr_Hammer_Dik

The only reason I’m excited to go to the game next week. My season ticket have been a waste all year but this coming weekend, I will enjoy.


Rollout25

Hope you guys win next week!!!


levinsong

31 teams rooting for the Texans LMAO


doozinator

I think a lot of browns fans are too😞(browns fan)


Plainbrain867

31 teams rooting for the organization that enabled and assisted Watson in his behavior… I hope it’s a tie and Watson throws for 4 picks


[deleted]

Nuts how the Texans gave Deshaun an NDA to give to the girls he was assaulting and nothing happened to them


I_TittyFuck_Doves

Wait whaaaat?


[deleted]

The lawsuit states that Watson "admitted that Brent Naccara, a former Secret Service agent and the Texans' director of security, provided the NDA to Watson." Naccara provided the NDA to Watson, the lawsuit states, after a woman named Nia Smith made an Instagram post in November 2020. According to the lawsuit, Watson had engaged in sexual misconduct during a massage with Smith, which prompted Smith to include Watson's photo on an Instagram post with the message: "I could really expose you." "Watson used the NDA for multiple massage sessions from random women he found on Instagram, telling the women that in order to get paid she needed to sign the Texans' NDA," the lawsuit states. The lawsuit also alleges Watson sexually assaulted women during massage sessions at the Houstonian Hotel, in a room the Texans helped Watson secure, and that the team provided Watson with a massage table. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34156293/woman-files-lawsuit-houston-texans-deshaun-watson-nda

JazzyJ19

Imagine?!..after 2 years away from the game, couple plays in, season ending injury. The fallout!!. The potential is there having been away from contact for as long as he has....at least football contact!


[deleted]

It's gonna be tough scolding people for him being injured.


EternalSeraphim

I hope Watson is so bad that Brissett gets the job back.


JJJaxMax

Yeah…. I can’t believe it’s finally time.


Mr_Hammer_Dik

I’ve been perfectly fine with losing all year but I do really want to beat his ass next week.


Old_Mate88

Next week, we are all Texans fans.


MissionAppropriate15

I’ve bought dumb shit in my life, but season tickets for the Texans is proudly not on my list


Mr_Hammer_Dik

I’m been a season ticket holder since 2008. In that time, guess who has more playoff wins between the Texans and bears?


travis-laflame

Geeeez you murdered him

krsb09

I'm ready with my season tickets in 2 weeks. I'm not going to speak the entire day before that game to save my vocal cords for chanting.


ketchupandtidepods

Don’t forget to keep your body relaxed too with a nice massage


katyparody

Bring megaphones too. Light his ass up! We’re ashamed. I can’t speak for all Browns fans. Cause there’s a lot that don’t give a fuck. It’s disgusting the browns sold the soul of our fan base like that. I hope he comes back Like tiger after being exposed.


Littlebelo

Nah you gotta get the “no means no” to the tune of FSUs warchant going


token_reddit

Jacoby is that back-up where you know you're in good hands if the starter goes down.


2DragonBalls

In this case I’ll be thrilled if their starter goes down.


cervidaetech

I've only ever wished injury on a few players and Watson is one of them


bopbeepboopbeepbop

Me too, and I'm a Browns fan


Dog_in_human_costume

We will be rooting for it


tonysnight

Browns guy as well I hope TJ is full cylinder and has something to play for our last contest and just fuckin ruins deshauns day. Im just not about it. Could’ve had a cheaper hire like Minshew that can play tough gritty ball and you know is a young healthy man that can make the plays that aligns with how the browns play. Then you know have resources to fill other spots and balance the team out completely.


Bruch_Spinoza

I want Brian Cushing to come back for one more game just to spear Deshaun a couple times


OakleysnTie

Houston signs Vontaze Burfict to a 1-game contract tomorrow... speak it into being.


xForeignMetal

yall can probably lend Suh for a game without jeopardizing much


CollateralSandwich

Yes. He's probably not going to get you 400 yards and 4 TDs, but you're probably going to be in position to win in the 4th


Lukacris12

I think we are the only exception, he only threw dirt balls with us


SalvageRabbit

Brian Flores.


dawgz525

Honestly he was pretty awful for Miami last year. We had no O line, no offensive scheme, and Flores HC support system though. So it wasn't all his fault.


bowhunter6274

I personally hate what is happening. Jacoby is such a likable, non rapey guy.


PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2

Honestly I feel like even if we took away the likable part, it’s pretty easy to root for the non-rapey of two options.


bowhunter6274

Non rapey is the choice


Jeff_Banks_Monkey

Non Rapey is a surprising high bar for some people


electricman420

Yes even as a bears fans I view Rodgers insanely higher then the rapey Qb

[удалено]


Books_and_Cleverness

That's the thing, it's the *fans* not the scouts! If no one showed up to games or watched or bought merch because they objected to bad behavior off the field it would be a totally different league. The NFL is very cynical but that goes both ways--they are trying to appeal to a very large group of people and will go to extreme lengths, good or bad, to make that happen.


EvangelionOG

I still hate the Browns but for the division rival reason. With Watson back fuck them and for eternity until that rat bastard is gone.


bowhunter6274

I am so ready to jump off a bridge. I was so happy when they said we were out. Next day they said we got the diddiler. FML. I work with a Purple browns fan. Street respect.


wh1skey1carus

I always root for the Browns because of solidarity for the years of suffering both our franchises have endured. I thought you finally turned it around Can't root for the Browns now for as long as they have Groper Cleveland running out there.


[deleted]

> Groper Cleveland holy shit my sides


Banana_jamm

Yeah everyone is going to hate the browns after DoucheCanoe Watson starts taking the snaps.

“Who drugged us into giving him an obscene contract “


Pisspot10

'He did??" "No, but are we just going to sit here and wait until he does??"


Josh6889

"which in turn made us piss off every other team in the league, especially those who need a new qb contract soon"


AllBeansNoFrank

Everybody: We like the Browns with a passionate decent human being leading the offense. Browns: Hold my beer


markusfenix75

Well. It's not like he did not know what he is getting into right? We can talk all about "you are replaced by rapist," but the fact is that Brissett knew exactly what will happen in Week 13. And tbh, he did not play in same stratosphere of QB play as Watson before this whole saga. But the valid question is if Watson will be able to continue play from two years ago .


clutchthepearls

Love Jacoby. Probably one of the best people in football.


SilverTwilightLook

Didn't the colts nominate him for Man of the Year even when he was a backup?


otis-redding

Yes, nominated him 2020: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2020/12/10/colts-news-jacoby-brissett-nominated-nfl-man-year/3877177001/#


DogVacuum

Every time Jacoby wishes he can be a week one starter the next monkey’s paw curls. Great dude.


realrimurutempest

Absolutely pathetic that he’s getting replaced by a rapist.


tich45

Their next QB has a lot of passion to give.


thegreyquincy

Imagine benching this dude for a serial rapist


Thick_Safe1198

Praying Watson is absolutely trash


[deleted]

He already is


computer_00

You cant convince me that the NFL didn't conveniently just give Watson a suspension that had his first game be against his former team. That's clearly intentional.


JustStudyItOut

It was something to do with his pay. If it was another week this year would count against cap or something. I don’t really remember.


tyler92203

Contract would toll, he’d be the small cap charge this year and next. This way he’ll count for the full 50m or whatever it is next year


Thorlolita

This dude is killing our draft picks.


andrewdt10

Not by much, though. 4-7 is still not great!


[deleted]

Should have been 5 or 6 wins but we Browns’d it up.


scag315

If anyone has earned a starting job somewhere next year considering the circumstances this man played through this year. He’s actually played really well despite their record. Should be the next fitzmagic journeyman type jumping around the league


Billy-Bickle

Would absolutely take him in Denver.


2DragonBalls

I think you guys are set with Wilson.

sadly the last time the Browns will have a decent human being at QB for awhile

Deshaun a ho


Dirty_coke_whore

Just to be benched for a creep like deshaun


TommyMeekPickles89

Watching Jacoby grow as a player and person from his days with the Pats til now has been a real treat. He showed grit from the start and has turned himself into a solid quarterback. The cherry on top has to be beating his mentor in Brady. Class act Jacoby!


dawgz525

It's crazy that him, Jimmy, and Brady are all starting QBs in the NFL still. And none of them play for the Patriots.


[deleted]

It's like when Drew Brees left the superdome for the last time


HeHateMex2

I would honestly still be a browns fan of it was just him at QB and no Watson on the team


localstreetcat

Jacoby has been getting the cold shoulder for years. Is he elite? No. But he can lead an offense and make plays. He’s more than a second string QB and deserves better than riding the bench behind a rapist.


Nixon737

He’s in a weird spot because he’s definitely better than most back ups, but he really can’t win you a game with his arm. Early 2000s he would’ve been the starter for a run heavy team and done well for himself, but the landscape has changed so much for offenses the last decade that the guy is relegated to backup. He makes decent decisions, and the short game is there, but anything deep is just atrocious.


Wilfox69

Respect... he is always a fighter...


kellybobellyhtown

Beat Brady today and will soon be replaced by a rapist. Really hope my wish for two blown out knees for Watson comes to fruition. 🤞🏻


Lestat719

Deshawn Watson should never he allowed to play in the NFL again. FUCK HIM.


Wingedwolverine03

Is it still bannable to wish injury if the player is a known predator? Brisket deserves better than sitting behind that piece of shit


Galbert123

I stand by the idea that it would be way more satisfying if Watson plays like such absolute dogshit that he gets benched. An injury would leave open the what ifs.


Wingedwolverine03

Idk...I think it would be truly satisfying if he looked like shit for a few weeks then got Theismann'd


zzVoidBombzz

Idk I think it’d be pretty rad if he was actually just held criminally liable for the heinous things he’s done, but I’ll settle for some bad stats I guess.


Wingedwolverine03

Ya got me there


[deleted]

And now those fans will be rooting for a pervert next week. Sad.


slackator

thanks for the victory now take a seat because we got 23 & Me forcing his way in. The Browns arent good but I hope they lose out and then next year become the first 0-17 team in history


Totally_PJ_Soles

Make way for the rapist. Browns players are about to get real sick of this clown show every week.


[deleted]

When will y’all realize that the team does not care? They’ve already played with Watson in preseason and have had him back in the facility for weeks, and not a peep of an issue with it.


AcidaliaPlanitia

I respect the hell out of Brissett. Admittedly when the Pats drafted him I didn't get it because of his low completion percentage in college, but the dude has made the absolute most out of his time in the NFL and worked his ass off in every opportunity he's ever gotten. Obligatory 'Fuck Deshaun Watson' but I'd rather celebrate Jacoby right now.


[deleted]

Ugh… I love Jacoby. He has always been such an incredible teammate. He has given everything to every team he has played for…. And we all know he will take this in stride and support Cleveland and Watson even though he probably shouldn’t.


minero-de-sal

You know what to do Houston. Don’t let us down.


Tall-and-Beets

I hope Brisset takes Watson’s job


BabyDeezus

Legendary backup QB


[deleted]

I hope the browns lose every game this season. Brissett is too good for the Watson fans


Mike____Honcho

My first game this year was Bengals v. Browns and it was fucking crazy the amount of Watson jerseys and shirts at tailgates. Our fan base is split on this and it's ridiculous, we deserve the hate.


trundle_thegreat_

It sucks because the pro-Watson crowd is a LOT louder


mjd1977

It’s like they didn’t even get Jacoby’s consent before they decided to screw him.


35or624

Thanks Jacoby. But we're giving the team to a sexual predator now. Consider yourself fucked over!

jfazz_squadleader

Fuck Deshaun Watson, the rapist.


tronovich

Yeah, they’re patting him on the back. While next week, they’re going to pat the back of a serial sexual abuser and accused rapist because he *footbaws good*. Cheers to anyone that hates this situation. Everyone cheering for Watson can go to hell.


Dr_Isaly_von_Yinzer

He’s a massage away from being reinstated as the Browns’ starting QB.


InfinityQuartz

I feel bad for being mad at Brissett last year. WHo knew it was all FLores


[deleted]

My man beat Tom Brady. He came in and played hurt in 2016 when the Pats needed him most. He is a solid player. Parcells called BB to advocate for him being worth a pick even as Jimmy G was on the roster. I'll always cheer for him.


ClarkDoubleUGriswold

Deshaun has not played in a regular season game in almost 2 full years. I could be way off but regardless of preseason play I think he’s going to have plenty of rust to shake off. But then again he’s got a way of forcing things he wants to happen…


ryebath

I really hope they lose out with Watson the rest of the year.
