The criticism towards Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson continues heading into the 2024 season.
NFL analyst Dan Pizzuta"At no point during Deshaun Watson’s Cleveland tenure has he looked like an above-average quarterback. He’s lost confidence in the pocket, and he cannot create like he used to.- Dan Pizzuta
Despite only playing in six games last season, the Browns quarterback was ranked below Daniel Jones, Gardner Minshew, and Sam Darnold. Watson had his ups-and-downs last year, but the low rating may not paint the full picture of Watson's 2023 season. In six starts, Watson completed 61.4 percent of his throws and won five of his six starts .
Pizzuta also highlighted the addition of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and how the move could negatively affect the Browns offense this season: "To play to Watson’s hypothetical strengths, the Browns had to bring in Ken Dorsey to add more dropback passing to Kevin Stefanski’s playbook. That could be an awkward match that never fully meshes."One thing that may have factored into Watson's low ranking is his cap hit. Pizzuta stated at the beginning of the article that cap hits were taken into consideration.
Cleveland has over $50 million in cap space heading into the 2024 season, which proves that the quarterback's contract does not hamper Berry from crafting an elite team around Watson.
