Browns fans didn’t even wait for the first half to end in Sunday’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars before turning on starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. It didn’t take two full quarters for the Cleveland faithful to show their disdain, with many fans loudly calling for second-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders to replace him on the field. Talk about a brutal start to the season!
Quick Hook for the Starter?
The speed with which Cleveland fans reacted to Watson’s early performance against the Jaguars is wild. They were not holding back, making their feelings known that they saw enough in just the first half. Imagine being the starting QB and having your own fanbase demanding a benching before the second quarter is even through, all for a second-year guy. It’s a tough look, no doubt.
Trolling, and What Now?
The Browns weren’t just struggling on the field, they were getting trolled hard in that first half. When your fans are already screaming for a change at quarterback in Week 1, and the team’s getting roasted online and everywhere else, you know it’s a rough scene. This isn’t just a bad quarter, it’s a major controversy erupting right out of the gate for Cleveland. The season just kicked off, and this team is already facing serious questions about their QB situation and how quickly the fans can turn. What a way to start the year.
