You mean the first game of the season, which most teams consider preseason at this point? Sanders has been saying every single week he is staying ready and preparing as if he is the starter. Sorry, I didn't see it.And Watson was great in his first start this season, right?
You play him because nothing is better for the culture of this team and its young players than winning.Full disclosure. HELL YES I want Watson gone.
With that said, I honestly believe that finding out what Sanders can do with this team is important. Watson is not taking us to the playoffs. Not happening. So then why play him? He isn't here next year. He isn't the future. He doesn't do anything except maybe make the owner feel like he got a tiny bit of return on his $230M mistake.
Come on. . . there's no controversy. If Watson beats the Texans on Sunday, he's the starter until he goes down.QB CONTROVERSY full blown out of control
DW must be upset with all this doubt.
DW is best for the culture if they are winning. All this other stuff you are on about is much ado about nothing if they are getting the wins. I fully expect Sanders to get more PT this season, but you never know.TBPP, so DW was best for the culture of the team when he was calling out the fans, whining about how he was being judged unfairly and had to throw 5 TD's and 400 yards a game? That was best for the culture of the team? Having at least half the fans absolutely hating this guy and booing while he was throwing dirt torpedoes? That was best for the culture?
DW is not 'good' for the culture. He is a bottom level QB who is completely narcissistic. Zero self-awareness.
SS isn't self-aware either, but he isn't 31yrs old and declining.
I hear you. I'd much rather watch Sanders than Watson, and I think that's what would be best for the team long-term. But the football gods hate Browns fans so we must suffer through more Watson misery.for me It's 100% on field performance or lack thereof. the DW OFF is unwatchable.
ss strong presnap leadership & ball protection have the CB scrambling.
the way he whipped in those slants & outs? It's night vs day.
ss had better under pressure poise than DW.
As if Watson hadn't been preparing all off season for that 1st start. As if Watson didn't have weeks and weeks working with the 1s before that 1st start.You mean the first game of the season, which most teams consider preseason at this point? Sanders has been saying every single week he is staying ready and preparing as if he is the starter. Sorry, I didn't see it.
