So you're really going to sit here and pretend like you, me and others in this very thread were clowning Flacco the past few weeks and saying that the Browns were right in benching him.
Him going to a better situation and balling out doesn't change anything about what I said.
I definitely said that they needed to switch off him, but I was always giving Stefanski and the entire Browns organization shyt too. They've never escaped my ire. I HATED the way this entire season has been handled by them regardless of how people thought about Dillon vs Shedeur.
I think it's a very small logical step to take that once he leaves and plays this well, combined with the fact Stefanski thought it was a perfectly fine game plan to have Dillon throw the ball 52 times in a relatively close game, where his WRs full on stopped trusting him on balls across the middle, to say it was more than likely an institutional problem than an individual player problem.
This same regime had Baker, overpaid for Deshaun (who ain't looked right since he came to Cleveland), started and benched DTR multiple games, drafted Dillon and Shedeur in the same draft, traded Flacco in season to a division rival, and now has defensive players going on record to defend Shedeur against their internal leaks. How is that not a ton of evidence to say it's institutional at this point?
