    Backups QB are the ones that tends to do well after playing and knowing the game. They study their asses off for that chance and can become good coaches.

    He looks like a better passer than Watson through 2 weeks.

    He looks legit. Once he gets an offensive line, look out. Most of his throws are accurate even under pressure.

    Kenny Pickett was very good in the preseason and like 8 games last year and now he sucks. Cj even looks better than burrow and Lawrence the last two weeks

    2 weeks isn’t a big enough sample size.
    Watson has been trash since last season.

    Baker has been one of the best QBs in the first two weeks

    I mean yea but you would expect a 230M dollar qb to play better than this at least right? People said after a full offseason he’s going to bounce back, but he still sucks

    I’m agreeing with you. I’m saying it’s not two weeks of this for Watson.
    It’s since he’s been back. His confidence is broken, you can clearly see he’s shook.

    The others it’s only been two weeks, it will play out and the cream will rise.

    Stroud is for real. Told ya'll.

    As for Watson, he will be fine. I watched the game on Monday and honestly he probably had about four snaps where someone wasn't in his face within 3 seconds. Hard to throw from the pocket when there isn't one. However, ironically, once Chubb got hurt, the HC started opening the passing game and Watson actually looked more comfortable. I think now that Chubb is done for the year, the HC will need to adjust to a more pass-oriented offense. Stefanski wants a run first offense and in today's NFL that is not a winning formula. If he doesn't change, expect the new Browns HC to be Eric Bienemy.

    Watson is thicker and doesn’t have the same movement as before. Helps with injury, however, it prevents some of movement to extend plays. He needs to adjust his game.

    Anyone that thinks Watson has looked good at any point shouldn’t be taken seriously.

    He’s been arguably the worst QB in the league by most metrics
