Stephen A. Smith Criticizes Deshaun Watson’s Poor Performance

Stephen A. Smith criticized Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for his poor performance in Week 1, emphasizing that Watson has run out of excuses despite injuries and other challenges. Watson's struggles continued in a 33-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, leading to fan frustration and calls for backup quarterback Jameis Winston. Amid this turmoil, Dan Le Batard speculated that a new sexual assault lawsuit against Watson might be a strategic leak by the Browns to escape his costly $230 million guaranteed contract. The Browns' significant financial commitment to Watson complicates their ability to move on from him.
