It's not like Browns Fan hid any of this.

Well, and I get that a lot of Browns fans were done with Baker and a lot of them thought Watson was elite, but not all of them, and I think it wasn't as overwhelming as it seemed from the outside.
I know a few CLE fans, and none of them wanted Baker gone. They wanted him to sit and get surgery. They wanted him to stop saying dumb things to the press. But they also wanted him back, just healthy.
All just semantics now, of course, just saying I'm only really annoyed with CLE ownership/management. Ymmv
