At what point could the Deshaun Watson trade be dubbed a disaster for the Browns? (sports.yahoo.com)

If Wikipedia is accurate in this case, Paul DePodesta (who was the inspiration for Pete in Moneyball, did you know?) helped facilitate the deal. Learned that just last week.

Also, the trade has killed any good faith non-Browns fans (including this Bills fan) ever had for the Browns.

How any team could acquire a human tire fire like Watson I'll never understand. Course, I'm not as smart as Paul DePodesta, so.

I‘m very in favor of using stats to make great informed decision. But sadly, ONLY using stats and disregarding real Life circumstances is quit a bit money ball..
