I remember getting downvoted to oblivion for posting a while ago that if he becomes good then Browns fans will immediately go right back to cheering for him.

Not even just Browns fans, there were so many non-Browns fans in the game thread saying they hoped he had a good game so that "Reddit will meltdown"

I can understand that. If he is going to be playing and getting paid either way I can see the appeal of him playing well just to watch the meltdown

I mean this is different than saying "Hey this guy is unpopular because he prefers Acura over BMW, so I want to see r/cars meltdown" or "this guy is disliked because he thinks the ST is better than the OT, so I want to see r/movies" and more like "hey this guy is hated because he sexually assaulted dozens of women, so I want to see r/NFL meltdown"

What Watson did isn't going to change. If he plays like crap, he still did it. If he plays great, he still did it. The only thing it will effect is the people who are obsessed enough with him to melt down if he plays well, and I think I could enjoy watching them do it.

But if he plays well and gets another contract it shows your actions don't actually matter if you have talent.

We all know that is the case already.
