‘Loser’ – Cleveland Browns fans hit back over Deshaun Watson’s ‘disrespectful’ comments
It looks like a long season could lie ahead for the Cleveland Browns following their poor opening-day performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Deshaun Watson was controversially named the starter for the Browns ahead of Shedeur Sanders just days out from the season opener.
Cleveland Browns fans are expressing frustration over quarterback Deshaun Watson's recent comments regarding the media's expectations for him. Watson, who signed a $230 million contract with the team, threw an interception and was sacked five times in their opening game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In response to the poor performance, Watson stated, "I think the media has this expectation that I’m supposed to throw 400 yards and 5 touchdowns every week."
This comment, along with his overall lackluster showing, has not been well-received by the passionate Browns fanbase. The fanbase has taken to social media to express their disdain for Watson, with many calling his comments "disrespectful" and "unlikable." Despite his substantial salary, fans are questioning Watson's ability to lead the team as the starting quarterback, citing his fumbling tendencies and poor performance.
The Browns organization, led by coach Todd Monken, maintains that Watson will continue to serve as the starter in their next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
