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?

the browns are idiots...the GM has to go after the watson contract and now trading flacco and how the QB room is being handled between gabriel and sanders. he literally saved the bengals season while his team is dog shyt. the browns need to start fresh with a new GM and HC at this point.

the steelers might have ran their course with tomlin. that record is fugazi...the defense is cooked and ramsey is absolutely terrible. they are better off cutting him at this point.

WHY SHOULD THE BROWNS
GIVE AF ABOUT WHAT FLACCO
IS DOING FOR THE BENGALS?

YALL REALLY LET TOMLIN
SPIN YALL WITH THAT DIVISION shyt.

THE BROWNS SEASON IS OVER
SO GIVING FLACCO TO A DIVISION RIVAL
OR NON DIVISION RIVAL IS IRRELEVANT.

TOMLIN STRICTLY CRIED
FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

LAMAR IS OUT, BURROW IS OUT
AND THE BROWNS STINK.

DUDE SIMPLY WANTED THE EASIEST PATH
TO A DIVISION TITLE.

IT WOULD ONLY MATTER
IF THE BROWNS WERE IN CONTENTION
FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO PITT ANY FAVORS
:devil:
:evil:

There was some stat that a QB hasn't been traded to a division in season since like 1970s

It literally never happens because no one wants to explicitly help their division rival :mjlol:

Its also relevant because if flacco goes and looks okay on the bengals its going to make that whole office look even more retarded than they already are and I would imagine team morale is all time low already,

for pennies too, a fifth.

QBS RARELY GET TRADED
MID SEASON IN GENERAL
SO THAT STAT MEANS NOTHING

ONCE AGAIN THE BROWNS
SEASON IS OVER SO HATS OFF
TO THEM FOR NOT ALLOWING PITT
TO SLEEP WALK TO A DIVISION TITLE

THE NORTH WOULD HAVE BEEN
5-1
2-4
1-5
1-5
:devil:

Would you use any of this to detract from what Warner did in STL? I'll wait

Also, did you forgot flaccid is a SB MVP??

There's nothing to detract.
It's about a QB who's competent enough to be a day-1 starter who was able to operate the Bengals offense on short notice.

If we wanna go there to detracting...it's
Stefanski's offense and Andrew Barry's roster management of the Browns.

Derick Henry makes it easier for Lamar
James Cook makes it easier for Allan
....the point is to make it as easy as possible for your QB
The Bengals front office gets a lot shyt but their offensive system works so long as the QB is competent

To be fair the owner wanted Watson and demanded that move. He's also basically admitted he fukked that up, which suggests to me that he has given Stefanski and Berry a longer leash. Based solely on results they both probably should have been fired last year, so I can definitely buy the idea that they're being given another shot because the owner imploded the team's financial situation with the Watson contract.

Berry just had a really good draft so who knows what happens. Clearly they need a QB and I don't think trading a 40yo QB is bad idea at all. They have a rookie QB (and a rookie backup)...the goal should be figuring out what you have, not potentially getting by with Flacco. Who btw did not look good, at all in Cleveland. Because the offense is not great.

The clock is ticking though; the defense is top 10, easily. If their offense could put up 3 scores a game and have sustained drives to give that defense a rest, they'd be in most games easily.
