As Browns reboot Deshaun Watson, the presumption of him recapturing elite trajectory is fading
sports.yahoo.com
The idea that a quarterback can ever go through nearly four years of various struggles and then recapture previously elite form is dubious, at best.

    Three first round picks. One third round pick. Two fourth round picks. He has played 12 games over two seasons. Not great.

    Owed $138 million over the next three years.

    Damn.

    I don’t think he’ll ever been the rockstar playing top QB he was in Texas, but I could see him stabilizing as a top 10-15 QB.

    Yeah he played so well in 2020. But then took the year off and then just never got it going again. Why did he regress so fast.

    He’s never going to throw well again. His throwing shoulder bone broke. Idk how a passer can come back from that.

    Browns being the Browns. That contract will keep their team down for at least 5 years. They’re good this year too, closest they’ve ever been to a solid team. Watson and his contract are the only real problems.

    Never give a history making contract to someone who voluntarily sits out from the game. I know it’s an injury and you can’t predict that, but someone who does voluntarily sit out doesn’t have it in them.
