Key Points:
- Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson faces the possibility of his seventh consecutive loss as a starter in the upcoming game against the Buccaneers, marking the longest losing streak for a Browns QB since 2017.
- Watson has drawn criticism for his unrealistic expectations of media coverage, despite not achieving high passing stats since 2019.
- Comparatively, Bills quarterback Josh Allen has recorded nine touchdowns in five days, while Watson has eight touchdowns over the past 1,041 days, highlighting a significant performance gap.
- The Browns could have drafted Josh Allen instead of Baker Mayfield, but there is skepticism that the team’s management might have negatively impacted Allen’s career as well.
- If Watson does not improve with a win and strong performance against Carolina in Week 3, the Browns may need to consider moving on from him to avoid fan backlash.
