The Cleveland Browns fear that Deshaun Watson may have ruptured his Achilles tendon on Sunday afternoon.

However, despite losing their starting quarterback, a large portion of Browns fans were quite happy to see him on the field and ultimately taken off of it.

Watson is in his third season with Cleveland after signing a fully guaranteed $240 million deal, and it’s safe to say things haven’t gone nearly as well as everyone had hoped.

On Sunday, he played his seventh game of the season, which will prove to be the most he’ll have played against Cleveland.

In addition, Watson’s off-field problems (more than two dozen sexual abuse claims) caused him to miss almost two years of football. It’s understandable that Browns fans are upset about Watson’s performance because their false hopes weren’t fulfilled, but both Myles Garrett and backup quarterback Jameis Winston made their opinions known about their fan base booing their quarterback.

“We don’t boo guys who are injured on the field, especially when the cart comes out. We should be ashamed, as Browns and as fans, to boo someone in their downfall,” Garrett said after the game. “To be a season-altering, career-altering injury, the guy isn’t perfect, he doesn’t have to be that way. None of us expect to be perfect. I can’t judge him by what he does on the field or off the field because I can’t throw stones from my glass house, but we have to do better. No one deserves that.

“You all see him trying his hardest to get back in here and put a smile on his face, trying to leave whatever is outside the facility behind him. Death threats coming to his house, going after his family, no one deserves that. … The man does pretty much everything right. He has been a model citizen throughout his studies and most of the pros. He plays the game as hard as anyone I’ve seen, puts everything on the line, is willing to test his body, plays. the race at a speed of 160 km per hour, and runs the risk of getting injured. He took that risk, we have to be there for him as a team, as an organization. We can’t look down because of mistakes on the field or anything off the field. We have no moral reason to look down on him.”

An emotion that Winston offered in his will.

“I am very angry about the response to a man who has had the world against him for the past four years, and who has put his body and his life on the line for this city every day. Regardless of your perception, regardless of what you thought about him should happen, he promised every day I was here to do the best he could for this team… I know that’s what the standard hungry fans want, but I’ll never sign a guy when he’s ready.

“I don’t want the treatment that Deshaun Watson has received from these passionate fans. I know you love this game. When I first came here I knew these were great fans, but Deshaun was treated poorly and now he has to overcome yet another.” obstacle. So I’m going to support him, I’m going to lift him up, and I’m going to be there for him. I see the way he fights, I see the way he works, and I know who he is as a person and as an NFL quarterback.”
