I'm putting 100% of the blame on Daboll. That was one of the worst called games I have ever seen. The team looked defeated at kickoff and never tried. I'm ready to clean house now.
If memory serves me correctly, Sanchez had a pretty good rookie year and was a mixed bag in the following year (didn't he recover from an injury or something?). Even in that mixed bag of a season, he still delivered some impressive games.
Honestly, I'm not quite ready to call it quits on Daboll yet (though I will say it looks bad on his part when the defensive coordinator quit mid-season last year). I do think he's gone after this year, though. He's going to get the boot before Jones does.
True, I still criticize it since he refused to push the ball down the field and he is the head coach. If just Jones played bad, he could get the blame but every single player (maybe not Sexy Dexy) played horrible and made washed up Sam Darnold look like an elite QB when we know he is not.
I also flew in for the game, so I understand your pain as well. I even went to the Friday Fan Fest since its such a special celebration. I think this game might have sealed Dabolls fate. Mara hates getting embarrassed like this and quite frankly, Daboll isn't doing himself any favors.
I was at the Fan Event on Friday, too!
Did you also go to the 5K? I thought about it but didn't want to pay for it.
That's what made the game worse in my opinion. It was supposed to be special but they couldn't even lose with grace. I loved the new jersey and midfield logo. The celebration of the team was great. It was nice to go down memory lane with my family.
From everything I've read there is no way they'll be off the hook for paying him as written in the contract. If they were to cut him now, it would be 200 million in dead cap space.
Didn't do the 5k ... I am currently way too pregnant for that, lol. I wouldn't have had the stamina for it. That said, it sounded really cool!
GUARANTEED means GUARANTEED
They gave up a likeable, and now seemingly serviceable, if not even maybe possibly good Baker Mayfield, just let him walk, so they could hire a 2 dozen times accused pervert for a quarter billion.
The NFL should have put that play in their game highlights video. I found it on twitter:
I root for Mayfield for this reason. He was their first QB in decades who brought them legitimacy and gave the city a playoff blowout win over a hated rival. Haslam is a shit owner who deserves this shit QB who they can't get rid of.
As gross as it is, I think letting Watson ride the bench might be the Browns only option. If they cut him now its a 200 million cap hit. They'd have to let literally everyone go to pay for it.
Is Deshaun Watson the worst NFL rapist since Kellen Winslow?
Regardless of any specific language in his contract, you don't need to pay guaranteed money to players if they're in jail.
Yes you do have to pay guaranteed money to someone sitting in jail, unless the contract says you don't. If it says you do, or doesn't specifically address it... I mean it's the Browns, so who knows. Being a little facetious there, I'm pretty sure there's the standard language regarding that kind of stuff, meaning they wouldn't if Watson ends up arrested on serious charges, but again it's the Browns
Darren Sharper would like to have a word with you.
