The Browns are 1-4, in a season where people thought they had a shot to make a run in the playoffs if the Chiefs took a step back, and they had at least average QB play. After week 5, the Chiefs are undefeated and the Browns have the worst QB in the NFL.
So a quick refresher, Watson, at least the Pro Bowl version who the Browns hoped would catapult their roster to Super Bowl contention, has failed to appear since the franchise traded three first-round picks to the Houston Texans and gave him a fully guaranteed $230 million in March 2022. And nine months after Joe Flacco, now with the Indianapolis Colts, helped lead Cleveland to the playoffs while Watson was sidelined by injury, the team has regressed with Watson back as starter.
Fast forward to today, through five games, the Browns have fielded one of the worst offenses in the NFL. Cleveland is the only team that has failed to total 300 yards in a game this season. The Browns have scored fewer than 20 points in all five games. Week after week it looks like someone who doesn't want to be on the field. How a players only meeting hasn't been called yet is wild to me.
Watson's 21.0 total QBR this season is worst among all qualified passers. His 20.7% off-target rate is third worst. And while Watson has been sacked a league-high 26 times, he has invited pressure at times by holding the ball, his 2.95 seconds on average before throwing is the sixth longest in the league.
This has to be an owner's decision because, if you haven't heard the last few days, Kevin Stefanski is a two time coach of the year. There is no way Stefanski is confident that Watson is there best option at QB.
They continue to say that Watson is there starting QB but just watch the week 5 tape. Just a reminder, hes a pervert and a terrible QB. Bench him, cut him, lock him up. This fully guaranteed contract set the franchise back years.
