Gotta throw them dice after you go bust (bust-ish, as far as Baker goes) on a first overall pick QB like the Bucs did going from Winston to Brady.  If we managed to win 5 games in 2019 and we still had Dalton under center and Burrow had just taken the Dolphins to the SB, I'd be ok with the Bengals going all in on Watson, too.

As I said, right now going all in on a QB is the way to go and locking up a decent QB is the way to set your franchise back years.  Maybe the winds of change will blow, but at the moment...the Browns may as well do it.

Pretty much.  When you are good you don't care who the other teams have at QB.  If we were still a middling team I'd be less amused by this.
