buffaloboyinATL Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 He is an absolute punk. It was also obvious last night that he is not a $200 million+ QB. I will definitely enjoy watching the Browns wallow in mediocrity for the next several years because of the stupid contract they gave him. How long before they start trying to get him to take a pay cut? 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I didn't think the facemask penalties were much of anything.

Simon Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Does anybody have vid of the play shown real time in the broadcast? None of the replays they went with showed it, but I'm pretty sure that on the live broadcast of the play you can see Watson actually try to kick Alexander as he's pulling him past him by the facemask. I'm guessing that's what really pissed the guy off and I can't believe nobody on the broadcast mentioned it or that they didn't replay the original angle so you could see it. Anybody else catch that?

Royale with Cheese Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I hope Watson continues to be terrible. The lack of remorse from him just makes me think he's a bigger POS than I originally thought.

BuffaloRebound Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 He’s a weird creepy dude and his arm strength was suspect before the 2 year layoff. However I wouldn’t call that a ‘shove’ of the ref. More like moving him aside. But in today’s search for clicks, gotta sensationalize the headline. Kinda like the Glab/Diggs ‘trash-talking’. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there was enough here for that The first facemask wasn't an issue until he tried to throw the guy by the facemask. Just a stupid over reaction. The 2nd I didn't feel like was much of anything. RBs do the same thing all the time with no call. As far as the official, he will get fined I'm sure, but people saying he "shoved" him aren't being honest. He did grab him, which isn't ok, but he didn't forcefully push him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Fool Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Einstein said: Watch Watson closely. I get that the act is certainly one that has historically been penalized. However, much like most actions that have unsportsmanlike conduct penalties called on them, I would not find such actions as egregious as the league standard seems to. The ref was shoving him around throughout the clip, to me it just looked like he was trying to disengage. Rules are rules, but I have a tough time wanting to eject a man who wanted the person getting handsy with him to lay off. *Shrug* He should have eaten a penalty for that since that is the standard... but I would never lose sleep over this not being called.

TFBillsfan Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If I’m not mistaken doesn’t Watson’s contract cap hit jump to $40M next year? Currently, he doesn’t look anywhere near a top QB in the league. That contract may go down as the worst in NFL history and will have major roster impacts for the Browns.

Wayne Arnold Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 He's finished. Playing horribly, constantly losing his cool. It's sad to see because he was an awesome player before the poop hit the fan. If Watson had admitted to what he did to all of those women and begged for forgiveness (privately and publicly), I feel like things could have been different. Obviously there's a segment of the population always out for their pound of flesh and will never forgive - especially about something like this. But I think most people are willing and able to forgive those who f up once. But because he never really owned it, there's always going to be a dark cloud hanging over him. I don't think I've seen a person's public image change so drastically since OJ. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
