Ryan Fitzpatrick Predicts Deshaun Watson's Struggles as Browns' Starting QB
During Prime Video's coverage of the Cleveland Browns' 37-13 victory over the New England Patriots, Ryan Fitzpatrick shared his views on the team's quarterback situation. Fitzpatrick, a former NFL quarterback, predicted that Deshaun Watson, named the starting quarterback by coach Todd Monken, would struggle, leading to backup Shedeur Sanders gaining support from fans.
Fitzpatrick noted that he expects both Sanders and Dillon Gabriel to see playing time this season, citing the team's young roster and potential offensive challenges. Gabriel started the game, completing 12 of 15 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns, while Taylen Green played the second half.
Watson, who is recovering from a re-ruptured Achilles tendon, faced criticism from fans after a previous preseason game. He completed 5 of 12 passes for 35 yards and one interception in the recent match. In his postgame remarks, Watson acknowledged the fans' frustrations and emphasized his desire to improve his performance as the season approaches.
