Stefanski should be fired anyway. Pre-snap penalties, sometimes multiple with “and goal” situations show a team with zero discipline. He sat all his starters all preseason and it shows.

He sits there with a play card shoved in his face while his special teams implode and defense breaks down.

This guy is an offensive coordinator. NOT a head coach.

Oh yeah, and he played Baker Mayfield when he was hurt against Pittsburgh and let Watt beat the hell out of him to make some kind of a point.

Fire Kevin Stefanski, and rip the whole thing back down to the studs.

An Achilles injury? Why were the Bengals allowed to have bows and arrows on the field?

The current Cleveland browns team started about 1999.

They are the result of a settlement between city of Cleveland and the NFL to keep NFL football in Cleveland after the original,very successful, Browns team left for Baltimore(now the Ravens).

They are presumably, a very cursed expansion team due to weak management.

Yeah, I watched the slo- mo, close up, you could see his Achilles SNAP, and his calf muscle roll up his leg, pretty gruesome, definitely done for the year.

But he still got that $200 million contract to keep him warm

It’s not even just the injury, albeit Achilles will need many months of rehab

It’s also that he isn’t playing well, and he’s also got a less than stellar reputation

I don’t know details of his present contract, but if he comes back, he won’t find another starting job

Yes. I also believe Prescott is a very good person. I’m just not a cowboys fan. Tough saying that living here in Texas!

I loved when Dallas played the Eagles on Thanksgiving day at the inlaws in Waco. Made very entertaining tension being I’m a PA native!

I’m not one bit sorry that the Rapist went down.

As desperate as teams are for QBs, Dak would have had no problem getting a Kirk Cousins-like contract. And, he's younger than Cousins.

Probably tears of joy. Now he can collect his 45 million a year without having to ever step back on the field. WORST TRADE DEAL EVER!

Maybe the University of Michigan can pass off Jack Tuttle over to the Browns.

Lord knows it’s high time the 25 year-old, 7th-year senior finally starts working a real job!

(Nah, the NFL isn’t _that_ desperate for QBs....)

They'll keep him out in 2025 to "rehab".

He'll come back in 2026, most likely as a backup. Then his contract will be done.

Says a lot about our country’s priorities huh? Soldiers are mamed and killed and get peanuts but whe shell out millions to an illiterate moron chasing and kicking a ball. Don’t preach to me about free market capitalism as chasing a ball isn’t creating jobs or bettering society.

Something similar happens to every QB who tries to be his own running back, they always end up crippled.

That’s not what happened here.

That’s ridiculous. He led his team to 12 wins three years in a row. Not many QBs have done that. Now, he’s not great in the playoffs, and he mostly beats up on the poorer NFL teams, but nevertheless, he’s not terrible.
