2023 Cleveland Browns

[Don Wassall]

As Freethinker mentioned about the Browns in the NFL Team Write-Ups thread, the Browns should be the quickest team to write up ever and I'm only going to use minimal space on this sadsack racist organization whose slogan should be "No Whites Need Apply Except at Offensive Line."

The offensive line is one of the best in the league and that's where the team's four (already reduced to three because of injury) White starters can be found and all of them are topnotch. Joel Bitonio is the left guard, Ethan Pocic the center, Wyatt Teller the right guard and Jack Conklin the right tackle. Conklin is an outstanding tackle, a two-time All Pro drafted in the first round by the Titans in 2016, but he tore his ACL and MCL in the first game of the season and is done for the year. He will likely be replaced by Dawand Jones, who as the name indicates is not White. So the Browns are now down to three White starters, and after them there is almost nothing.

Harrison Bryant is the third team tight end. He did catch a TD pass in Game One while playing 36% of the offensive snaps, but as long as the first round semi-bust David Njoku is the starter Harrison is unlikely to see more snaps than that.

Guard Luke Wypler is the only White backup on the o-line. There are no White quarterbacks and no White defensive players. Even the punter is mixed. Other than the three remaining White starters on the line this is as close to a perfectly "diverse" Caste team as we've yet seen.

LG: Joel Bitonio, Luke Wypler
C: Ethan Pocic
RG: Wyatt Teller
TE: Harrison Bryant

PK: Dustin Hopkins
LS: Charley Hughlett

Practice squad: OG Michael Dunn, PK Lucas Havrisik

Number of White Starters: 3
Total Number of Whites on the 53 man roster: 7 with Conklin now out for the season
Grade: F--

The black power GM Andrew Berry could try to go even darker if he’s in the role long enough. Bryant and Wypler could easily be gotten rid of. The problem will be getting rid of 3 or 4 elite lineman without even the DWFs catching on and getting upset. Also, I’m not aware of any black kickers or long snappers.

Perfect team to represent their city!

 

[Don Wassall]

Luke Wypler is inactive for tonight's game against the Steelers, giving the Browns 4 White players plus their long snapper and place kicker on the 53. Wonder how many DWFs will notice the near total whiteout. . .

We are the only ones calling Berry out for what he is - An obvious anti-White racist.

Racist black gm defending his “brotha” - I really hope this Watson deal goes down as one of the worst in history and both Watson and his anti-White GM are viewed as failures.

 

[Freethinker]

The black quarterback experiment isn't going so well in Cleveland. Watson, and all his guaranteed money, is only 26th in QB rating. Walker and DTR are dead last amongst quarterbacks getting enough snaps to show up on the stat board.



The Browns could actually be a legit contender with their strong defense and running attack, but they lack even a replacement level QB. If they still had Mayfield (15th in QB Rating), they'd probably elevate into that category right now.

Total loser player and total loser organization:

Deshaun Watson will underdo shoulder surgery and is out for the remainder of the 2023 season.
Watson’s lingering shoulder issue — now described as a broken bone — will cost him the season’s final seven games. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero said Watson “wanted to be shot up and play through the injuries, but doctors told Watson his shoulder would “fall apart” if he were hit there again. Watson’s ever-evolving shoulder injury is a blow to the Browns as they seek a postseason berth in the hyper-competitive AFC North. The team has now paid Watson nearly $91 million for 11 games over the past two seasons. P.J. Walker, among the league’s most inaccurate passers, will take over as Cleveland’s starter. It’s a downgrade for Amari Cooper and the rest of the team’s pass catchers.

That’s why you don’t fully guarantee NFL contracts.

Lol good ending for us.

I don't believe that for a minute..Hes proven to be soft..

Also, trying to think through what the best ending is here. That the Browns completely stink rest of year or that their 3rd string quota does ok and exposes how mediocre Watson is..

 

[jphoss]

no way they are championship caliber so i’m hoping they do ok to expose watson

Yep. Watson has always been overrated on the field, his intangibles all leave alot to be desired. Glad to see this record deal blow up in the Browns face so far. Curious how long the current regime sticks in Cleveland. I'm rooting against it for sure! Still waiting for the mainstream media to start calling out their GM for being a racist too.

Meanwhile Mayfield is having a solid bounce back season.

 

[SneakyQuick]

Maybe he just needs a massage?

Flacco named the started for the rest of the season.

 

[Don Wassall]

Even if the Blacks, er, Browns, want Flacco to continue as their starting QB, they're stuck with the massive, ridiculous guaranteed contract they gave Watson. They made the playoffs this year thanks to Flacco only to still get blown out, hopefully they quickly revert to being the losers they've been ever since Art Modell fled town with the "real" Browns and they had to start over with an expansion team that's more or less remained an expansion team ever since.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski re-iterated that Deshaun Watson remains the team’s starting quarterback heading into the 2024 offseason. Watson struggled in 2023 and then missed the final seven games of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. He battled injuries throughout the year, playing only six games and completing 105-of-171 passes (61.4 percent completion rate) for 1,115 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions to go along with 142 rushing yards and another score. He was 23rd among quarterbacks in EPA per drop back and saw the Browns thrive after they signed Joe Flacco to close out the season. In five starts, Flacco completed 123-of-204 passes (60.3 percent completion rate) for 1,616 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Stefanski also left the door open for Flacco to return in 2024. “Joe (Flacco) was awesome for this football team. Did a great job. Battled like crazy. Joe is going to work through everything this offseason. Had a great meeting with Joe.” However, he said figuring out how Watson and Flacco would coexist would be left for general manager Andrew Berry.

I would be surprised to see Flacco slinging the ball for the Browns next year. It would be smart for them to keep him as the backup because Watson is sure to get hurt or run in to some other trouble sooner rather than later. Watson's contract is one of the worst that I've ever seen. His and Russell Wilson's.
