Browns Analyst Slams Deshaun Watson\u2019s Performances<\/p>\n
During a segment on the \u201c92.3 The Fan,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Zac Jackson, who covers the Browns, blasted Watson\u2019s inconsistency during Cleveland\u2019s minicamp and suggested a radical approach to their QB1 issue.<\/p>\n \u201cMy only spring conclusion, you know, there\u2019s not really any conclusions,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cThis was a new offense, this was a new environment, Deshaun was playing for the first time. But I think it\u2019s a fair spring conclusion to say that he\u2019s the same player he\u2019s been here, which is an inconsistent player, not accurate, bad decisions. He\u2019s just not any good.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no point in the Cleveland Browns of 2026, who are playing for the future, playing him,\u201d Jackson added. \u201cI hope that they\u2019re gonna get around to that thought. But he\u2019s just never gonna take that next step\u2026 The Browns made an incredibly bad trade, and it is absolutely comical that he would still be on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n Watson signed a lucrative $230 million, fully guaranteed five-year contract when he was traded from the Houston Texans to the Browns in 2022. His career in Cleveland has been inconsistent at best, including undergoing two surgical procedures.<\/p>\n BE THE GM OF YOUR FAVORITE TEAM: PFN\u2019s FREE NFL Mock Draft Simulator<\/a><\/p>\n Before his Achilles injury in 2024, Watson went 1-6 as a starter, tallying 1,148 passing yards on 63.4% completion, resulting in 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, while adding 148 rushing yards and one score.<\/p>\n During Sunday\u2019s segment of the \u201cNightcap\u201d podcast<\/a>, former NFL star Chad Johnson was adamant that because of his experience and massive contract, Watson would initially be the Browns\u2019 starter under center next season.<\/p>\n \u201cDeshaun Watson is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt is his job to lose. He has six weeks, I guarantee you. Listen to me now\u2026 he has six weeks to make sure that team is playing above or better than whatever the expectations may be for that team and that quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf he\u2019s not, Shedeur Sanders will fall in line as the backup and be the starter for the remainder of the season,\u201d Johnson added.<\/p>\n PREDICT THE NFL SEASON: PFN\u2019s FREE NFL Playoff Predictor<\/a><\/p>\n In seven games started last season, Sanders led the Browns to a 3-4 record, registering 1,400 passing yards on 56.6% completion, 7 scores and 10 interceptions, while adding 169 rushing yards and one touchdown to earn a PFSN QB Impact<\/a> score of 56.7.<\/p>\n In addition to Watson and Sanders, the Browns have Dillon Gabriel and rookie Taylen Green in their quarterback room as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran quarterback Deshaun Watson is currently locked in an intense battle with Shedeur Sanders to be the Cleveland…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-722658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
