Behrens ranks Watson QB28 and is not buying the QB12 season ranking. He questions the Browns' decision to keep using Watson given the contract disaster risk, though he acknowledges Watson has playmakers (Denzel Boston, Casey Concepcion, Harold Fannin) and the offense is willing to lean on passing. Watson didn't look like his former self in Week 2 but is beginning to process better.PositiveProjectionSep 22, 2026
Watson didn't set records but played a clean game without mistakes, used his legs to get first downs, and put together an awesome game-winning drive with about five minutes left, throwing passes to Boston and check-down passes to Judkins; he led the Browns to victory.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
The source describes Watson's performance as "predictably awful," noting he threw a pick on the Browns' first possession, another interception on the second drive directly to a linebacker (who dropped it), and fumbled on the third drive after being sacked. The source explicitly states "I had not yet seen Deshaun Watson" when comparing him unfavorably to Cooper Rush as the worst quarterback observed in Week 1, establishing Watson as a significant downside risk.NegativeProjectionAug 31, 2026
JJ Zachariason characterizes the Browns quarterback situation as 'utter hot garbage' and suggests Watson will be 'a hot mess'; speculates the team may be using Watson just to fail and bench him, though acknowledges it's hard to assume the Browns are doing anything that makes sense.NegativeProjectionAug 25, 2026
Christopher Harris criticizes the Browns' decision to name Deshaun Watson the starting quarterback, calling it an 'indefensible decision.'
