After such a promising start to his career, Deshaun Watson has slowly become one of the worst quarterbacks in all of football.
Playing on a $230 million deal, Watson has become a shell of what he once was when playing at the University of Clemson as well as for the Houston Texans.
To put into perspective how bad Watson is, here are several stats that show just how bad of shape Cleveland is in with Watson at quarterback.
Season’s longest completion: Through six weeks of play, it would seem that every team has hit an explosive pass play, but not the Cleveland Browns. Watson’s longest completion on the season is just 35 yards. With only 32 starting quarterbacks in the league, that would mean at least three backups have longer completions. A $230 million quarterback should not have a season-long completion of 35 yards.
Third down woes: The Browns are 15 of 78 on third down this season, which comes out to 19.2 percent. That puts Cleveland last in the NFL, 5.77 percent worse than the 31st-place Broncos.
