The Cleveland Browns are experiencing more of the same in 2024. With a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers looming, Cleveland is 2-6 through their first eight games and are looking at another potential top five draft pick.
However, there is a chance for some turnaround after their most recent game. In his first start as a Cleveland Brown on Sunday, Jameis Winston delivered a near-perfect performance (27-of-41 for 334 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions).
The performance earned an upset over the Baltimore Ravens. However, one Cleveland reporter is not happy at all.
“You Knew It Wasn’t True, I Knew It Wasn’t True” Browns Respected Reporter Tees Off On Cleveland
According to Alex Hoegler of Total Pro Sports:
On the latest edition of the “Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show”, Browns reporter Jason Lloyd of The Athletic ripped on Kevin Stefanski’s squad for “lying” to the fanbase. Lloyd cited Stefanski’s comments about how Watson gave Cleveland “the best chance to win” before his Achilles tear:
“The Browns have lied to you. They told you that Deshaun Watson gave this team the best chance to win. You knew it wasn’t true, I knew it wasn’t true. We all knew it wasn’t true. The entire city of Cleveland, the entire franchise knew it wasn’t true….trying to prove the contract was a valid decision. It wasn’t. We knew that by the end of September and they wrecked their own season.”
As Lloyd pointed out, a Browns starting quarterback not named Deshaun Watson has thrown for over 300 yards in five straight games. Joe Flacco had four straight 300-yard games last year, and Jameis Winston extended the streak with an excellent outing on Sunday.
Watson signed a five-year contract worth a fully guaranteed $230 million in the 2022 offseason. Regardless of the gigantic financial ramifications, it couldn’t be more obvious that the Browns are better off cutting him in the offseason.
It will be interesting to see what Winston can do with this team. Here is a look at his career stats:
