r/Browns

Jimmy has said a few times this offseason that the fans don’t like Watson because he’s not had success.

While he’s right that SOME might ignore him being a serial sex pest if he played well, most of us have not and would not.

For those of us going to the game Saturday, and any game that Watson plays in, let’s make sure to mercilessly boo him every play he’s on the field. INT, BOOOOOO! TD, BOOOOO! (We can cheer when Andre makes the PAT, that guy deserves it!).

Watson said today he doesn’t care about the boos but we’ve all seen and heard otherwise. He’s only going to last a few more games around here. Let’s make them count!

PS- mods, yes, a post about Watson is going to illicit some nasty comments. My apologies in advance. I know this comes off as a shit post but this is 100% serious. If we can use this sub to coordinate an 0-16 parade we can use it to coordinate boo-ing the shit out of Watson for being a serial sex pest.

Local heading to the preseason game, only parked in a surface lots near the muni lot previously. The lakefront lot, does it allow for tailgating, and is the price fair? Ive never parked there before, and it looks like an official airport parking lot that I wouldn't expect theyd allow tailgating

I live out in Santa Clara now.

Yup. Home of the 49ers.

And these Jerry world-esque, boomer ville stadiums in the middle of nowhere suck.

They just do.

Sports stadiums in cities are awesome. Location rules.

I’ve been to a few events at Levi’s stadium, and it sucks.

The only parking is Levi’s. I’m talking hours and hours of traffic to LEAVE an event.

Good options suck.

There is no hot dog cart or deli on the walk to your car.

It’s expensive stadium food in a food desert.

So much concentrated traffic that things like Uber and Lyft take hours. There’s nowhere to walk to. You can’t walk downtown and uber from there. You’re trapped at the pickup line like an airport where 30k people are leaving at the same time.

A stadium with manufactured culture in the middle of a field SUCKS. It appeals to nobody other than people who will be gone in 10 years.

Younger fans with money to spend are not moving to the suburbs. Younger fans with money are not praying for a gentrified stadium “experience” 16 miles from the city.

It’s not 2003 anymore.

It’s just so out of touch.

Every day I see posts and comments about how the Browns need to tank to get a good QB in the draft, and I don’t think you all realize what you’re actually asking for.

You folks do not realize how terrible tanking actually is for an organization. When everyone on the roster knows that the front office wants to lose, they do not play hard, they do not practice hard, and they do not develop. When your team is loaded with guys 25 and under, THEY NEED TO DEVELOP AND BUY INTO THE CULTURE. TANKING MAKES THAT IMPOSSIBLE.

You know who the last 1st overall pick to win a superbowl with the team that drafted them? Eric Fisher, who was a tackle drafted first overall by the Chiefs in 2013. Before that? Peyton Manning, who was drafted way back in 1998.

Let’s look at the last few Super Bowl winners.

Super Bowl champion Sam. Darnold was on his 5th team after being drafted 3rd overall by the Jets. He signed with Seattle because they were already a borderline contender with a good culture and a good roster.

Jalen Hurts was drafted in the second round by a team that already had a good roster, and their roster continued to improve because players wanted to play in Philly because they have a winning culture.

Patrick Mahomes was drafted 10th overall by the Chiefs, who traded up to pick him, and had been a consistent playoff team for a few years already before Mahomes became the starter.

Matthew Stafford was drafted 1st overall by the Lions in 2009, the Rams traded for him and assembled a super team that improved an already great team that was capable of winning 13 games in a season.

Tom Brady. Enough said there.

When you have a talented, young roster, which the Browns have, DO NOT TANK. TRY TO WIN. It makes free agents want to play here, it opens up your trade options to bring in more talent, and when it comes time to draft a QB, you can trade up to get your guy, and they will be entering a great situation for a young QB to be in, and experiencing a culture that EXPECTS AND WANTS TO WIN.

I may get some flack for this but my hope for the season is that every game we get some highlights from the young core but we lose 13/16 games this year.

My worse fear is that Watson somehow, someway is good enough to take us away from drafting a top QB in the draft as his parting gift, really rubbing salt into the wound as if he has not already done enough to cause his misery. I hope we beat the Steelers in prime time and maybe give us a win vs the Ravens or Falcons outside of that i couldn't care less. I want to be going into next season with optimism and wanting to win every single game

No doubt it wont be easy but im just hoping it will be worth it

I know there there’s a level of apathy with this organization from some but man I really just miss football… win/lose/draw there’s always a level of drama with every football game and it makes me specifically and I’m sure many others show true emotional investment in something that we simply have no control over… that’s just fun, I kinda like just stewing about 2 or 3 plays that cost us an opportunity to win a game and it’s even more fun to rewatch and reminisce when those 2 or 3 plays go our way and the entire week I’m just in a better mood because the people I listen to and watch are also in a better mood… there’s not really a point to this post other than to say I still love the browns even when it sucks and this entire season is a mystery that I can’t wait to uncover no matter how many people think they have a crystal ball and already know the results
