A 40 year old Joe Flacco not only looked better than him last year but also looked better on Sunday playing for the Colts! 😂

[@RobbieStacks90]

That's why what quarterbacks are doing nowadays is unimpressive. The rule changes have allowed QBs to put 5,000 yard and 40 TD seasons with ease. And even with these rule changes, QBs like Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, and Justin Fields still struggled to throw for 250 yards each Sunday.

[@markraymond101]

⁠@@AubreyShabazzDenver is paying a lot this year and a good share next year. But there’s at least an escape and a route that can lead to rebuilding in a shorter window than Cleveland has. The Browns were built to win now and by the time they end the Watson contract, the window to win will be closed. Denver immediately drafted a QB to pay nothing for the next 5 years. They can eat some cap for a bit, as much as it sucks. And Denver has done well developing a defense that has a lot of young cheap guys.

[@zack1610]

[@jsilva7005]

⁠​⁠Cleveland deserves this for turning their back on Baker. His rookie season he set the rookie TD record and lead them to a 6-7 record. The previous 2 seasons the Browns had won, ONE GAME. He turned that franchisee around his rookie season. His second year he had a sophomore slump. Then his third year, he had 3500 yards, 26 TDs to only 8 INTs, and he lead them to their first playoff win since 1994. Then the 4th season he was injured before game 1, he should have never even been on he field. So in 3 HEALTHY seasons, he had 2 very good years. You guys turned your back on the man who saved this franchise from the disaster that it was. You know what you guys deserve every bit of this. The rest of us fans, know you did Baker dirty, and we are going to enjoy every minute of your misery.

If "I only look at stats" was a person. Clearly SAS didn't watch the game. There's a reason the Browns lead the league in dropped passes and sacks allowed. As another point, the Browns don't run the ball. If you saw the game, there were 12 in the huddle on 4th down and they weren't burning another TO. The kick team had to come on the field. On the scramble, Watson got the 1st. The spot was garbage. The Browns won running a real RB between the tackles. They're still trying to force Ford in that position and it's killing the offense. Defenses don't have to respect the run against the Browns. In 3rd and 8 or better as a regular and calling play action pass plays, if you're expecting great play from your QB, you simply don't understand the game.

Maybe it's because the Browns Oline is horrible and that's why Deshaun has been sacked that many times. Also I think if Deshaun wants to opt out of his contract with the Browns then I wouldn't blame him for that. Because Deshaun could play for my Saints and win more and that will be better for him and that's what I'm saying.

[@Alex-ip8zv]

But I don’t understand, is he being told to play like that. That’s not how he plays, there’s something behind closed doors that messing with him.

[@willellis502]

Exactly….this man has been dominant until we know until when…now all of a sudden he can’t play at all? Something not right beyond football.

[@Tigre300x]

Completely agree with you. Something has to be going on behind the scenes

[@DashBrousseau]

Something is definitely under the towel…

[@Alex-ip8zv]

Tbh too I KNOW he got legal troubles he still trying to get passed. Nevertheless he has plenty of experiences at Clemson (where he balled out) and in Houston (He was Lamar Jackson before Lamar Jackson) where he was ELITE!!! WHY IS ANY VETERAN COMING TO HIM AND SPEAKING SOME WISDOM TO HIM!! WHERES THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO HELP THIS DUDE!!! INSTEAD OF TEARING HIM DOWN CAN SOMEONE UPLIFT HIM BECAUSE ITS GETTING OUT OF HAND!! No one want to Jameis Winston out there

[@mattcarberry368]

@@Tigre300x the only thing happening behind the scenes is the rest of that locker room loathing their own QB both as a human being off the field AND as a terrible unproductive pouting QB on the field Deshaun's head hasn't been in it since the day those lawsuits dropped.... he's mentally cooked and his own teammates don't respect him, pretty simple

[@DanielJimenez-mi5zm]

They shouldn't have gotten rid of Joe flacco.

[@JoshIsFootballCrazy]

Browns screwed up by letting baker and Flacco go

[@ervgotti130]

This isn't Watson's fault. The media hyped him up for having 1 good year in Houston. He's done NOTHING to garner any attention as an upper tier qb. SAS helped blow him up too. This man has never been a top 10 qb! Great job media... got the man paid!😂😂😂

[@edgarmalone7694]

Man I am so mad at Stephen A for talking about Hot Garbage like that. DeShaun isn't even on that level right now.

[@ReceptiveKing93]

In Baker Mayfield case & I’ve been their. It’s always nice to see your previous employer struggle after they kicked you to the curve 😂

[@alanwoodwind5265]

Deshaun Watson’s soul got left on the massage table…

[@mrxager18]

I was at BW-3 yesterday in Dublin, Ohio watching the Bengals and Brown's games and I should have just gone to the local funeral home and had a beer over there. I can't even watch Sportscenter today.

[@marcusrushin8255]

Atlanta was headed for destruction and Cleveland stepped right in front of it🤣🤣

[@freddysmith1471]

Watson being 9-8 while playing like that is a testament to how good that defense has been for the couple of seasons. It's a shame when a great defense gets let down by a horrible offense. They could be a playoff team with even just a mediocre QB.

[@sdlively27]

What is the difference from last year to this year? Last year Watson was doing great, team was doing great, the HC was calling plays and they were winning even getting to the playoffs. This year Watson look awful, the team looks awful like they don't care to even play the game.

[@medicineman1202]

Dont feel bad for Watson he got 230 mil in the bank

[@phython947]

This is the problem with First Take. They could talk about how bad Watson was OR how good the commanders looked. Look which one they chose first.

They took away the man’s massages.
