Browns name Deshaun Watson starting quarterback for season opener

The Cleveland Browns have officially designated Deshaun Watson as their starting quarterback for the regular season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 13. This decision follows mixed reactions from fans, especially after Watson's lackluster performance in the recent preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, where he threw five completions and an interception. Watson received boos from the crowd upon entering the game. Despite the criticism, the Browns seem committed to utilizing Watson in light of his substantial contract. Fans are expressing doubts about the decision, with some suggesting it prioritizes financial investment over performance. The team will face Baker Mayfield in week two, adding further narrative to the choice of quarterback.
