It’s getting very ugly for the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson. The Browns started the game against the Dallas Cowboys in awful fashion, mainly due to their terrible quarterback play.
Cleveland Browns Fans Boo Deshaun Watson After Each Play
The game started with the Browns going down 27-3 to the Cowboys and they would continue to get dominated all game. It was a long day for Cleveland fans, as the onslaught kept coming for them, and all the while, their quarterback had absolutely nothing to show for it.
Watson, who signed one of the biggest contracts ever at the time with the Browns, is playing under his $230 million contract! That money is beyond generational, and with that, he threw for less than 50 yards and an interception in the first half and played meaningless football in the second.
In the second half, the fans were booing Watson after every single incompletion by his HOME crowd. It will only get uglier if this is what Browns fans keep seeing.
Watson is getting booed after every incompletion. This is going to be an ugly scene if he doesn't turn it around.

NFL Fans Are Not Sympathetic
NFL fans are not exactly coming to Watson’s defense in this situation. You can’t excuse quarterback play when they are making that type of money against the cap and in general. If the Browns continue to see this play they may have to think about some major moves in the very near future:

Billy this is Deshaun Watson. We gave up 3 first round picks for him and he makes $230 million fully guaranteed. His defect is that he’s really bad at playing quarterback pic.twitter.com/JvZx4EeNag

It’s safe to say the Browns are still under some type of scrutiny for this contract and this player.
