Dawgs By Nature on Deshaun Watson
From the article
HC Todd Monken will reportedly name Watson the starting quarterback for 2026 over QB Shedeur Sanders... the team is poised to enter the 2026 season with the worst quarterback room in the NFL.
STACKED’s take
Watson named Browns QB1 for 2026 over Sanders; controversial amid poor preseason and fan backlash.
Named as the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback for the 2026 season by head coach Todd Monken, defeating Shedeur Sanders in the QB competition. The source characterizes this decision as controversial and unpopular with fans; the team is described as entering 2026 with 'the worst quarterback room in the NFL' following the ill-fated 2022 trade that sent three first-round picks and guaranteed $230 million to Watson. Multiple outlets frame the decision as indefensible given Watson's preseason performance (booed off the field against Buffalo) and subsequent media criticism of fans, creating a 'mutually abusive relationship' between Watson and Browns fans.
