Should Browns Consider Jimmy G If Watson Suspension Increases

It has been confirmed that Browns QB Deshaun Watson will be suspended for the first six games of the 2022 NFL season. After this was established, the NFL decided to appeal the decision made by former Federal Judge Sue Robinson. Watson’s suspension could possibly be increased more games for this upcoming season, the whole year, or indefinitely. So, if this ends up happening to the Browns, should they consider calling San Francisco for QB Jimmy Garoppolo?

In the best interest of the Browns, I would say yes. Jimmy G has playoff experience and can learn the Browns’ offense quickly. If the Browns do end up going this route, it would be a temporary route, but would also prevent the 2022 season being a wash for the Browns. A healthy Jimmy G will help the Browns compete for the playoffs and the AFC North division title.

There is a possibility where landing Jimmy G may not be the best move for the Browns. To start out, Garoppolo is known to get injured easily. For the past few seasons, Garoppolo has been hurt and out for many games. If the injury-prone Jimmy G does come to Cleveland, he could most likely bring his injuries with him. We also would not want the Browns to give up even more draft picks to land Jimmy G as well.

Worst case, the Browns will have back-up QB Jacoby Brissett. Brissett is not a bad option for the Browns. With the Watson suspension still looming, the Browns do have options. So, Browns fans, what are your thoughts? If the Watson suspension increases heavily, would you want the Browns to get Jimmy Garoppolo or not?

Either way, it will be a fun season! Let’s Go Browns!!!
