Cleveland Browns’ Kevin Stefanski Gets Brutally Honest About Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled again on Sunday, completing 21-of-37 attempts for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his team’s loss to the New York Giants.

His numbers weren’t bad, as he had a passer rating of 89.5. However, he only completed 56.8 percent of his passes and didn’t show much improvement.

However, after the game, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski defended his quarterback, taking responsibility for his struggles.

“Deshaun obviously gives you everything he’s got,” Stefanski said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “He can’t get sacked that much, can’t get hit that much. That’s not good enough, and that’s my responsibility and that’s up to us to fix it.”

Cleveland allowed eight sacks to the Giants, and while New York has a great pass rush, that’s still unacceptable. The Browns also suffered numerous injuries along their offensive line throughout the game, which certainly made life more difficult.

But it won’t make responding to Watson any easier.

Watson is now in his third year with the Browns and he still has to show that he can be their franchise quarterback in the future.

For that reason, fans are understandably frustrated and likely won’t give him much of a reprieve just because the offensive line wasn’t up to par.

Ironically, Cleveland’s offensive line was considered one of the team’s strengths early in the season.

The Browns will look to get back on track when they visit the Las Vegas Raiders next Sunday.
