Deshaun Watson Reflects on His 4-7 Backup Jacoby Brissett Before Taking the Torch of The Browns Offense

Deshaun Watson is returning to the field after a lengthy suspension. He was under suspension from the game due to controversial allegations and was replaced by Jacoby Brissett. However, Watson will soon be returning to the field for the Browns and has expressed his excitement to play.

He specially mentioned his teammate, Brissett for the effort he put in while Watson was inactive. Watson also spoke about the positive impact the QB2 has had on their team and how he looks up to them.

While Deshaun Watson was suspended, Jacoby Brissett was tasked with playing quarterback. Brissett has been playing and putting up decent numbers for the Browns. However, the Browns have not had the most impressive season this year.

Watson thanked Brissett’s influence in the locker room. The QB1 praised Brissett’s attitude towards the game and his teammates. There was gratitude for Brissett’s guidance and his big-brother attitude that the team depended on.

He said, “The passion, the grit, the leadership he has shown these past weeks, everyone done see it.” Watson also spoke about how Brissett has been beneficial for him. He explained how they have a great relationship and spoke about how they both want to win more games for the Cleveland Browns.

Interestingly, the Cleveland Browns could use a boost in their performance right about now. Even with Brissett’s numbers, the Browns need some help.

Brissett and the Browns

While Brissett may have handled the position of starting quarterback decently, his efforts might not have translated completely toward the team’s success. While there might have been acceptable stats for the QB2, the Browns as a team have not blown anyone’s mind.

The team currently sits at the second-last position on the AFC North table. They have won 4 games and lost 7, out of which 4 were away losses. Brissett has not been doing much better either.

From an individual standpoint, Brissett has done a decent job trying to keep the team afloat. He has played 11 games this season. Throughout the season, he has thrown 12 touchdowns with a whopping 6 interceptions. With the way the team has been playing, Watson coming back might be welcomed. However, it remains to be seen what impact the controversial quarterback will have on the team.
