#Browns QB Deshaun Watson says the idea that he needs a good game to remain the QB1 for the Week 3 home opener is media-driven:
“I think the media has this expectation that I’m supposed to throw for 400 yards and 5 touchdowns every week.”
Watson says he’s focused on operating the offense and getting a W.
@H_Grove I am candidly rooting for Baker to come out blazing against the Browns and DeShaun to continue to show himself so this franchise can move on and make Watson the emergency 3rd QB the rest of this season
@MUSinfonian@Browns@RiddellSports They’re already starting Watson. That was all the white flag we needed to see. White flag on the season and white flag on winning back the fans.
@JoeGilbertCLE@CodySuek They’re definitely positioning to name him starter, not play him Thursday at home, then play him week 1 and week 2 hoping he gets some good play and momentum to soften the blow when he comes back home. If it’s ugly, they just switch to Shedeur for Week 3 and the fans will cheer
@MattVautour424 As a Browns fan, it is absolutely both and frustration from the fans. Many of us didn’t love the trade for him, then he has looked terrible for all but 2 halves. Every time he’s come back, he’s looked just as bad. We are equally booing the organization that puts him out there.
