Deshawn had a 57.5% success rate in this game... this is his first game since the 2020 season where he's been above 55%... this is definitely the best football he's he's played as a Cleveland Brown... The last two weeks that's definitely started to change for Watson.
STACKED’s take
57.5% success rate, first above 55% since 2020; Harmon sees system fit improving.
Deshaun Watson posted a 57.5% success rate (True Media metric) in his latest game—his first above 55% since 2020 and one of his only strong EPA-per-dropback performances as a Cleveland Brown this year. Matt Harmon characterizes this as "definitely the best football he's played as a Cleveland Brown," attributing the improvement to head coach Kevin Stefanski's system fitting Watson better than previous schemes and instilling belief in the quarterback. Watson has improved at throwing outside the numbers on quick outs and tight coverage throws to Denzel Boston but hadn't consistently accessed the middle of the field where Casey Conklin runs in-breaking routes; over the last two weeks, Watson has started to see the middle better and is becoming more comfortable after his long layoff from the NFL. While Watson's tenure has been largely disappointing, the recent trajectory suggests incremental improvement in comfort and performance.
