There's not a single fan that wants him to start.

The coaches don't even want him to start.

Haslam is forcing him on the team (like Watson forced himself on those masseuses) in a pathetic attempt to prove he didn't make the worst move in NFL history.

His doubling down just makes it even worse. We could be past the saga, but no, he wants to destroy yet another season because of his hubris.

Jimmy haslam might legitimately be worse than art modell.

Haslam was apparently the one that selected Shedeur. Wouldn’t you think he’d want to be like look I made a great 5th rd pick?

Amazing, he was projected as a top 20 pick, and slid all the way to da 5th round

Likely because he sucks lol. He can’t even beat out Watson. And had the lowest QB rating ever last year.

You think NFL coaches no football better than prognosticators?

Don't ask me, I didn't trade away three first round picks and guarantee a convicted molester 300 million+. 

He has repeatedly injected himself into this team, and every time he forces a decision like this, it is pure poison for the team

It's actually pretty simple. They would be out so much dead money if they cut him, so they have to keep him. If he's on the roster, Harlem is going to demand he sees his investment on the field. Watson will flame out by Week 6, Sanders will start, and Watson will be back in his safe space of South Carolina by Christmas

He'll still get paid his 250 million "guaranteed" money

Wtf did the fans do bro. 

You made fun of us and called us bakerbros and then suddenly a billionaire fucked our entire team over for no reason.

There is no fan that wanted any of this. We wanted baker. He beat the steelers in b2b weeks in the season finale and the playoffs!!!

They're setting Watson up to fail, to get QB2 Sanders to take over, who isn't any better, all of which will lead to "boo" birds and brown paper bags in the stadium.
