Yahoo Sports NFL on Deshaun Watson

Watson's Week 1 starter role was unpopular; Gabriel's preseason finale may fuel debate.

Watson was locked in as the Browns' QB1 throughout the offseason and was picked as the starter for Week 1, but the decision was described as 'a very unpopular pick' by the source. Watson sat out the preseason finale, and his selection as starter seemed like 'a predetermined outcome' rather than a competitive win. The source notes that Gabriel's strong performance on a national Amazon Prime Video broadcast may raise questions about whether Watson deserved the starting role.
