Todd Monken hasn't watched much past film from Deshaun Watson
Browns coach Todd Monken had a big decision to make at quarterback.
Browns head coach Todd Monken faced a critical decision when selecting Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback. Monken revealed that he hadn't examined Watson's past performance extensively. "To be honest, I haven't looked at it," Monken stated to reporters. "I've only seen it from afar." Monken emphasized his focus on the present, stating, "What I see, right?"
He maintained an optimistic stance, believing in the potential of every player, regardless of their background. Monken expressed his expectations, saying, "I want to go into it thinking every player we have is elite, and all they have to do is prove me right." Although Monken didn't mention his past interactions with Watson, Watson's performance history was largely irrelevant.
Monken highlighted that the team would focus on current strategies, disregarding Watson's performances from 2017 to 2020, and concentrating on what would work best with the 30-year-old Watson.
