Browns: What Is Your End Game With Quarterback Choice?
I can’t believe it.
Like, I have made a lot of dumb decisions in my life; just ask my parents and brothers, but to actually be a part of this is embarrassing. Sure, many fans are just those that flip on the TV (nothing wrong with that), but Cleveland Sports and the Browns have been a lifelong passion for me and many others.
I posted a video on Twitter/X with my feelings (bottom of this article) and I am just shocked that this ownership and coaching staff went through with this decision after that fiasco on Saturday night by now-starting quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Here is my biggest part that angers me.
If this were a prime Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or any other elite quarterback that called out the fans in Watson’s way. Well, then I’d understand. Honestly, from a football-only view, Watson was awful on the field these first two preseason games. All the quarterbacks were…
Of course, Shedeur Sanders was not elite either, but what is the endgame for this team within the front office and staff?
Watson and the Browns could literally win both of the first two games on the road, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, by a score of 30-0. Coming home with a 2-0 record and flawless play on the field by Watson and the team for week three against Carolina and the fans will not care.
The thing everyone hates the most is seeing the people they dislike have success. Sure, we’ll always be Browns fans, but I honestly think there will be fans that hate Watson so much, they’ll be happier if the team struggles. Additionally, it gives the Browns a better draft pick. Let’s be honest, that’s already on our minds.
I’ve taken such pride in being a Browns fan my entire life, as well as all of the other Cleveland teams too. I can’t believe they would give a man who downright called out the fans and basically acted as if he hates them a job.
This season is now going to be so much more than football and not in an inspirational way, such as your child becoming a huge fan seeing the success of a team. I don’t have children, but I’d be ashamed to have to allow them to watch Deshaun Watson. A man who shows exactly how not to live even with fame and fortune.
Honestly, I wouldn’t blame people for boycotting the Browns. Even if they somehow win. As long as Watson is the starting quarterback, or frankly even on the team.
But, hey. He wasn’t terrible, just somewhat terrible this preseason.
