3 reasons the Browns need to avoid trading for Deshaun Watson

Albert Breer thinks the Browns should go after Deshaun Watson.

The Browns have had a rough year offensively. The offensive line has been in tatters since Jack Conklin got hurt, the receivers have been horrendous, the offensive scheme is largely ineffective and Baker Mayfield hasn’t been healthy since Week 2. So, everyone is taking a deep breath and not jumping to conclusions; right?

Wrong. Everyone wants to blow up the system and replace all the players because of one, injury-plagued season. Typical. That’s the issue, isn’t it? Instead of acknowledging the extenuating circumstances and figuring a way to fix the offense, people go straight to the nuclear option.

It’s really typical of fans and “experts”. Cue Albert Breer, who understands the Browns culture so much that he actually believes the Browns will pursue Deshaun Watson in the offseason. He has no sources to back this up with, just an “educated guess”. Whatever that means.

There are many problems with the Browns going after Watson, many, many problems indeed. Yet, today we’re only focusing on the three biggest.

Let’s do a bit of an honorable mention; Kevin Stefanski’s offense isn’t exactly made for quarterbacks as people are noticing. No quarterback has looked really good this year in his system and many believe that it’s his system that is holding back the offense.

No one with a clue is suggesting he be fired, he’s a very good coach; at least compared to what we’ve had, but he does need to tweak his system. The last thing you want is to be tweaking the system while incorporating a new player into it. A new player with impulse control issues at that.
