Kevin Stefanski, the Cleveland Browns’ head coach, is standing by his quarterback Deshaun Watson despite a disappointing loss to the New York Giants. Stefanski took the blame for Watson’s struggles, saying that the quarterback “gives you everything he has” and that it’s on him and the team to fix the issues ¹ ². Specifically, Stefanski mentioned that Watson got hit way too often, which isn’t acceptable, and that they need to protect their quarterback better.
Watson’s performance has been under scrutiny, with some critics pointing out his poor decision-making and inability to see open targets ¹. The loss to the Giants was particularly tough, as the Browns were expected to win. However, Stefanski’s defense of Watson shows that he still has faith in his quarterback.
It’s worth noting that Watson is facing not only on-field challenges but also off-field legal issues, including a new lawsuit accusing him of misconduct ⁴. Despite these challenges, Stefanski is choosing to focus on supporting his player.
The Browns’ next game against the Las Vegas Raiders will be crucial in determining the direction of their season. Will Watson be able to turn things around, or will the team continue to struggle? Only time will tell.
