I'm a Browns fan, and I hate the Watson trade. Beyond needlessly abandoning the QB that helped the team rebuild from the 1-31 abyss, we gave up too much, gave a sexual predator an unprecedented contract and made him the face of the franchise Jimmy Haslam is an awful owner who actively undermines the franchise on a regular basis. Lastly, this giant deal automatically raises expectations for the team. Watson will not lead the Browns to a SB. We would be lucky to win the division during his contract.

Another factor that worked for the Texans: by trading Watson, they effectively commited to a rebuild, which caused them to have the 2nd worst position in the 2023 draft, which put them in position to draft CJ Stroud. Even if the Texans had gotten nothing back in the trade, it would have worked out just because of Stroud. Albeit, their fans had to endure a terrible 2022 season to get there.

[@HoraceAlt775]

Very true, the Lions also got too tank because of there trade as well. The lions didn't get a franchise QB initially, but by tanking they were able to draft Aidan Hutchinson who just reached a 100 QB pressures in a single season in just his 2nd yr.

Don’t forget with Watson during his “good” years he has the blown 24-0 lead in a playoff game followed by a 4-12 record in the 4800yd 33/7 TD/INT season. Also without giving the Steelers 14pts in a pick 6 and fumble 6 they could be 10-4 and have a better shot at the division and possibly #1 seed in the AFC. Those 14pts are also more than the Steelers have scored in 6 of their 14 games and 26 total in that game are the highest they have scored all season.

The biggest bone I have to pick with the Watson trade is not the asset management, but the ludicrous FULLY GUARANTEED contract that the Browns gave since they were so desperate for a QB under center after the team ruined Baker Mayfield. Look, I am not saying Mayfield would have been a "set the world on fire" QB, nor would his attitude problems go away overnight, but you look at his stint with the Rams and Buccaneers, and Mayfield is doing pretty OK for himself. Back to Watson, the contract he got was what poisoned the QB well for a time, cause you already have a precedence with Rick Spielman drafting that fully guaranteed contract for Kirk Cousins, and now the Browns chose to double down by doing the same thing with Watson. The precedence this caused nearly torpedoed the QB market, cause you have to remember that guys like Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, and especially Lamar Jackson were looking for their "big boy" deals, and Jackson's camp was specifically using Watson's deal as leverage. If not for the Eagles righting this ship with the more reasonable deal for Jalen Hurts, there may be a case against the Browns for tampering. It's one thing to be incompetent by yourself, but it's another when your incompetence drags others down with you, and this is why I say the Watson deal is a lot worse than the assets given up to the Texans.

I don’t understand how we all just gloss over the fact that the year after the Tyreek trade the Chiefs won the Super Bowl and Mahomes was NFL MVP. Isn’t the immediate Super Bowl the reason that the Rams got an automatic A+?

[@everbard3071]

Meanwhile, the Panthers are selling A+ trades for other teams while getting F trades in return like they're hotcakes.

The worst trades in this offseason were all the trades teams failed to offer for Lamar Jackson

As a 49ers fan the trey lance trade give me ptsd every time we make a trade💀

Please do the laremy tunsil trade

Where’s the CMAC trade? We got finessed 🤦🏻‍♂️ we knew CMC was worth a first and more but nooo every fanbase around the league “ a RB isn’t worth a 1st” 😒 and now it’s “Carolina got a bag of peanuts for CMAC”

[@HuskerChief150]

I don’t think the Chiefs should’ve been below an A- strictly because they won the Super Bowl, but that would be the highest I put them as well.

[@cardobom]

Where is the Seattle Trade? I would love to see this trade here, so many picks and players were traded too, although I think we all know who won that one 😂

[@RealCGH]

Considering McDuffie already an all team first pro level corner i think chiefs at least deserve B+

[@douglepong]

Agreed. Watson sucks.

[@trentwise3762]

I’d give Stafford a A or A-. Only because of the rams inability to do anything with the talent they have after the superbowl year. Not discrediting the Super Bowl wins. But the rams went from a superbowl winner to now being .500 with 3 games left. If they were good for multiple years it’s be an A, but because it was a one year thing I don’t think it’s an A+

[@varamaur9567]

Won the Super Bowl and are currently one of the hottest teams heading toward the playoffs, so definitely not an A- . The assignment was to win a Super Bowl, and the Rams aced it fast.

[@trentwise3762]

@@varamaur9567 one of the hottest teams? Bruve. They are 9-8. And I already brought up they won the Super Bowl. But now they are in limbo and their best players are about to retire. The only thing they have going for them is puka. Kupp has already been hurt a couple times this season. Stafford is a year or two from retiring. Donald will most likely retire this year. It got them a Super Bowl but it’s also cost them any chance at being a contender for years to come. So yeah I think an A- is pretty accurate.

[@varamaur9567]

@@trentwise3762 - Good response. I stand by my take. There was only one objective/assignment for the Rams in trading for a veteran quarterback who is now (and at that time near) his mid-30’s: a Super Bowl win ASAP. Mission accomplished it. Anything beyond that (e.g. another trip to the playoffs, which is about to happen) is extra credit.

[@trentwise3762]

@@varamaur9567 yes I also believe the rams are happy with the trade. I never said it wasn’t a good trade. But an A+ trade is the cowboys herschall walker trade. It’s a trade that won them a championship and they CONTINUED to be a top team. If you think the rams trade is on the same level as the Herschel walker trade then go ahead give it an A+ However due to the fact that the rams are now BARELY making the playoffs after NOT making it the year after their championship, I don’t feel an A+ is an accurate rating. It did what they needed it to do. But that trade is also specifically responsible for why the rams have failed to bring in any talent outside puka since they won.

[@varamaur9567]

@@trentwise3762 - An A+ is 101% (again, assumes the Rams make the playoffs this year) or 300% (Aikman+Smith Cowboys). No other team but the Pats have had that kind of success in a long time. The Rams are good at developing talent. Even if this were to be Stafford’s and Kupp’s last years, there are good young players in addition to Nacua on both sides of the ball. Really, the biggest X-factor is if Sean McVay stays or goes. His serious flirting with a TV deal after the Super Bowl win is further proof the Rams’ assignment was short term. Anyway, nice chatting with you. Wishing your team luck rest of the season.

[@Sammy_23]

It’s crazy to think that these trades were only 2-5 years ago when it feels like just yesterday they happened

[@measthis2411]

Rams get A+ because they won the super bowl but Chiefs get no credit for winning the yr after they traded Hill

[@slowbutsure504]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Watson is a big F for the Browns.

[@qhillis]

Guess that Tyreek trade was still a B- after winning back to back superbowls without him xD

[@allenbrandon1031]

Should of included the Wilson trade

[@pandaking9276]

The Hill Grade is a L take yes it was good for Miami but for the Chiefs they also got the pick needed for rice. And still have a pick that has yet to be used. But the chiefs would have gotten nothing for him had they waited. So that is so clearly a B+ to A.

[@cinimatics]

The Browns need to dump Watson and save whatever money they can. They also need to fire the bozo that dumped Mayfield (a really good quarterback) for a molester who hadn't played in a year. Had they traded one first rounder and gave Watson a 2 year deal this would be easier to swallow. But this trade was so egregious, so dumb, and went as poorly as everyone predicted. I can't even root for the Browns anymore. Just so so God damn dumb. The only way that trade won't go down as the stupidest trade of all time is if Watson throws for 5k yards the next 4+ seasons and wins two superbowls.
