Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

He's a better fit for the Ravens than he is anywhere else. The goal wasn't to see if they can find a wash-up vet to win an extra game or two, it's to see if either rookie is the guy. I won't be surprised if they end up with Watson in a game by the end of the season after Sanders gets CTE from being sacked 15 times in a game

Yeah I get that. But then why even bother with Flacco? If that’s the take then put the roomies in from day 1 and live with it. If you’re going to spend the draft capital then play them.

None of it makes sense, but I think the goal was for Pickett to be the guy this year and see how it went, since he's still young. They couldn't keep 4 QB's and he was hurt the whole preseason, so they went with Flacco to see what the team could do with a vet. If the season didn't go well the vet would get them through the rough schedule in the first 4+ games and they would see what the rookies can do. Sanders might be up after the bye since Gabriel hasn't shown to be the guy. The biggest problem is that the starting OT's are out, so the line sucks, and to make it worse, they are probably going to have to replace the whole OL after this season. The WR room is garbage as well, but might be fixable with a true WR 1 in the draft. Might as well trade Gabriel for Ewers and a 5th rounder so we can kick the tires on another rookie QB and Gabriel can go to his natural role of backing up Tua.

No QB is going to fix this dumpster fire of an offense, so I would look to fill as many non-QB holes as they can this offseason and give Gabriel/Sanders a second year to see if one of them can break out with more talent around them. Give me Downs and Tate in the first round and use the rest of the draft on the best OL available.
