Browns' HC Todd Monken challenges Deshaun Watson after naming him QB1
Browns' head coach Todd Monken not only awarded Deshaun Watson the starting quarterback position, but he also challenged him to "play good football."
The Cleveland Browns have made a controversial decision by naming Deshaun Watson their starting quarterback despite his poor performance, questionable character, and strained relationship with the fanbase. Browns Head Coach Todd Monken met with Watson and told him the only way to end the conversation is through good football. Monken stated, "I'll keep most of what Deshaun and I talked about private, but the conversation was the way we make this go away is to play good football.
Let's move forward, work our rear end off and play winning football." Regardless of Watson's recent assertion that the criticism against him is personal, it is indeed personal due to the fans' need to justify supporting him, his poor playtime with the team, and the negative impact he has had on the organization's Super Bowl chances.
Fans now have to endure the embarrassment of being a Browns fan, the team's poor performance, and being part of what many deem the worst franchise in sports history. While there may still be hope for Watson, there is no guarantee that he can turn things around.
