Watson's Rough Start Sparks Debate | Sports News

Deshaun Watson’s shaky Week 1 debut against the Jaguars reignited the QB controversy in Cleveland, sparking debates over whether fans ever truly wanted him as starter — and whether media pressure even played a role. Radio hosts Ken Carman and Anthony Lima fired back, arguing Watson’s own performance created the firestorm, not some orchestrated media push. With Watson sidelined by injuries and underperforming on a massive contract, booing at home games has become routine — and he says it feels personal. Despite the backlash, coach Todd Monken remains committed to Watson for Week 2 against Tampa Bay, leaving Sanders as the clear backup — a decision that puts Watson in a tough spot as the team looks to bounce back.
