Pseudo crosspost from the Drink the Depression Away thread: I just want to publicly acknowledge that the most tortured fanbase in all of sports (Browns fans - and it's not close) gets to add yet another notch to it's belt: worst trade in the history of pro sports.
Goes like this:
- a quarter of a billion dollars in fully guaranteed money (highest ever in football)
- has played fewer than half the team games since then (injury and suspension)
- will have the highest cap hit ever sometime in the next couple of years
- traded 3 first round picks, 1 third and 2 fourths, which may be the highest price ever for a single player
- currently ranks approximately 660th or worse among 680 or so qualified QBs since 2000 in almost every category
- worse that all but one QB this year in almost all categories
- second worst regular starting QB in 25 years. After Jamarcus Russell. (and is maybe worse)
- both QBs they cast off to start Watson are in the top ten statistically this year (Flacco/Mayfield)
- has led the offense to be the only one in the last 25 years not to top 300 yards or 18 points in the first 6 games
- has never thrown for 300 yards for the Browns
- has not thrown for 200 yards in any of the first 6 games this season
- 24 allegations of sexual misconduct or assault, all settled out of court
- 1 recent allegation of rape, settled out of court

Also, if you want an incredibly detailed explanation of why Watson sucks at football, here you go:

My god the Browns are a total, unrivalled, incomprehensible, indescribable shit show. It's dizzying.
