Readers rated Watson as particularly overrated compared to expert panelists; he topped the list of quarterbacks where readers' ratings were consistently lower than experts' assessments, with readers rating him about 0.3 tiers lower on average.NegativeBustAug 25, 2026
Deshaun Watson has been named the Browns' starting quarterback for Week 1 despite not playing good football since before the pandemic and being credibly described by dozens of women as being a creep; his contract is so bad that the NFL urged owners to make sure that much guaranteed money wouldn't go out again, and the Browns would take on $86.2 million in dead cap charges in 2026 alone if they cut him before the start of the season.NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Browns QB is facing significant fan backlash in Cleveland, getting booed after nearly every play in preseason despite likely being named starter. Watson responded defensively in postgame press conference, citing past Achilles injury and lack of support from home fans, creating an awkward dynamic that raises questions about his viability as the franchise QB and whether the team can overcome the public relations challenge of his tenure.NegativeProjectionAug 20, 2026
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has regularly been booed by Cleveland fans and remains unfazed, saying 'I don't care. I don't care' when asked about the reception he'll receive at the preseason home opener. The source characterizes the trade for Watson as 'the single worst roster transaction in NFL history,' noting the Browns surrendered three first-round picks, a second-round pick, a third-round pick, and a fourth-round pick, then signed him to an unprecedented five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract. Despite this massive investment, Watson has played only 19 games in four seasons and has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL during those appearances.
