QB32
Despite an incendiary post-game press conference, Deshaun Watson was named the Week One starter in Cleveland.
Matt Waldman
QB29
Will Watson win the starting job? If Watson wins the job, can he perform more like the Texans' version we saw years ago? If not, can Watson at least regain enough athletic ability to deliver serviceable production in Todd Monken's offense?
Has Shedeur Sanders emerged enough to beat Watson if Watson doesn't return to his old form that was never seen in Cleveland in the first place?
The offense is a good fit in theory, but the receivers are a mix of young and inexperienced options and veterans who haven't delivered to their potential.

Betting on Watson this offseason may look smart because he was essentially free and now appears set to be the Browns starter.
Jeff Blaylock
QB48
Years removed from being a productive quarterback, with two Achilles tears since, Watson is an NFL starting quarterback because Cleveland has given new head coach Todd Monken no better option.
