With the breaking news that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery, it’s a good time to examine the Browns return on their $230M investment, along with them giving up three first-round picks, one third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks. 34 games into the 85 total games of the contract have delivered the following results:
- 11 full games at QB
- 7 total wins (when playing the entire game)
- 3 total games with above average play (measured by ANY/A)
Do you think there aren’t 20 QB’s who would have the Browns 6-3 at this point? You want 2-1 with his extremely mediocre rookie backup.
23rd in AY/A (behind Minshew lmao), 24th in QBR (a bad stat, but still), 21st in rating, 30th in success rate, 26th in completion percentage, 7/4 TC/INT ratio. He’s mediocre at BEST. Russel Wilson looks like an MVP in comparison.
