ESPN research highlights low QBR totals for Deshaun Watson and Browns quarterbacks
Summary

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson ended his 2024 campaign with a QBR of 21, the lowest mark among league starters with at least five appearances. ESPN research further identified that teammates Sanders and Dillon Gabriel also recorded the league's bottom two QBR figures last season. These three players represent the primary quarterback options for the team heading into the 2026 season. The organization enters the current year with an overhauled roster and a new coaching staff following an offseason of reflection. Although the team intends to address the position through the 2027 draft, the current depth chart remains a primary focus as the regular season begins.
