Mary Kay Cabot: Watson Starting Saturday Means "It's His Job to Lose"

Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken and Anthony to break down the QB competition, saying Deshaun Watson starting the preseason opener signals he currently has the edge and that next week's joint practice against the Bills, plus that following preseason game, should reveal the Browns' real thinking even without a formal announcement. She details Watson's rocky three years in Cleveland — a lost suspension season, a torn rotator cuff and eventual fractured glenoid in 2023, and a 2024 season where he never looked like his old self before rupturing his Achilles — arguing outside critics don't fully grasp what he's been playing through. Cabot also addresses whether home-crowd boos and money are factors in the QB decision (she thinks Todd Monken is purely focused on winning now), touches on Shedeur Sanders' blister issue and wobbly-but-effective passes, and runs through offensive line battles (Spencer Fano, Tytus Howard, Elton Jenkins) and Dylan Gabriel's inconsistent reps. She closes by weighing in on the Baker Mayfield mystery clip, saying she doesn't know exactly who Mayfield meant but recalls real dysfunction between Mayfield and Myles Garrett, and Mayfield and Kevin Stefanski, during that chaotic final season.
