Browns Stick with Struggling QB Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has confirmed that Deshaun Watson will remain the starting quarterback despite the team's dismal 1-5 record and Watson's poor performance, which includes failing to lead the team to a touchdown in their latest 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Watson's statistics are alarming, with a quarterback rating of just 76.6 and no game over 200 passing yards this season, marking the Browns as the first team in a decade to not score at least 20 points in their first six games. Critics, including former Browns player Mitchell Schwartz, have voiced their frustrations on social media, arguing that Watson's struggles are detrimental to the rest of the team. Stefanski attributed some of the offensive issues to a lack of protection and explosive plays, while Watson acknowledged the need for a turnaround. With his $230 million contract guaranteed, questions arise about possible external pressures influencing the decision to keep Watson as starter. As the Browns aim to salvage their season, they face skepticism about their playoff hopes and overall team morale.
