True, being on sidelines isn't helping your team. Watson has higher career rating than Mayfield. He's younger. Stafford is 38 starting another season. IF Watson plays well- he could be QB for next 7 years or so. I hope his marriage has straighten him out and hope he lights up the NFL with our new receiver weapons. Go Browns!!!!

According to NFL On Prime as of August of 2025 only 8 starting QB's were 30 or older. https://www.facebook.com/nflonprime/posts/only-8-starting-qbs-are-30-or-older-/1340354738098135/watson is 30 years old. watson has been with the Browns since March of 2022. That's four full seasons. In those four seasons he has played in 19 games. Stats alone can't predict the future but what they can do is establish the likelihood of how things will play out moving forward.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Could DW be a QB for another 7 years? Well, that's possible but how many of those over 30 QB's have had 2 Achilles injuries? He's had other injuries besides that also. I wouldn't bet DW will be a QB into his late 30's.

The speculation out there now about DW is something.
I am glad that he is healthy. If Monken starts him. I trust that DW has beaten out Shedeur and earned the role.
That is where it ends for me.
DW has done next to nothing for over five years. Even when healthy with the Browns he played poorly.
Let's talk about injuries. He broke a bone in his shoulder. Tore an Achilles and then tore the same Achilles again.
His playing style is to use his mobility. Create more options and deliver the ball accurately. When he played I did not see that.
He looked confused. He was late and inaccurate. He took hits extending plays and suffered for it.
He is not the guy he was when he played for Houston. He is older and damaged and does not have the game time experience in the bank.
He is like an old fighter trying to make a comeback.
I have seen that "story line" before and the ending has not been good.
