NFL Black Monday Thread

Who said anything about an excuse? You made a statement and I just showed you that your statement didn't really fly if you actually looked at games. You can call Winston whatever you want but the fact remained that it was a good chance that with him starting, they could win 2 of the 3 final games of the season, as the Bengals are one of the worst defenses in the league, the Dolphins defense was declining, and he has already beaten the Ravens. Your feelings about him doesn't change or affects what actually happens on the field. Like I said, your feelings aside, going 0-3, they faced 3 top 10 defenses (2 top 5) and were competitive in 2 of the 3 games. The problem is most people don't care about those small details because they like to prove or push a point but actually watching the games tell us otherwise. He was benched so the Browns can get a top 5 pick and everyone with common sense knows this.

As I stated, he wasn't benched because Robinson gave them the best chance to win and the fact that the offense got drastically worse should let everyone know that...lol. Again, it's really not that deep and pretty much a common sense thing.
Agree that he was benched for tanking reasons. Don't agree that he'd beat the Bengals, maybe, MAYBE the Dolphins. And I watched football this season. And I'm a Winston supporter but with less confidence than before. My confidence in him took a hit last season against the Lions when Carr got knocked out of the game and Winston was setup to finish a great comeback. At the game, I told my neighbor that Winston will step up and shut up a lot of non-believers. He didn't and looked bad and that was with good protection and open receivers. Still love the guy, but he's had many, many chances. I'd rate him as a low-level, inconsistent starter that flashes and disappoints equally well.
