Due to it, now the franchise is in crisis. Deshaun Watson is currently suspended for the first six games of the regular season. However, that has all the possibility of changing, as the league is looking into his case closely.
Baker Mayfield is all set to become the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers. He has the opportunity to revive his career and prove to his former franchise that they were wrong for letting him leave.
Fans on Twitter made the Cleveland Browns realize the mistake they made in letting Mayfield go. They highlighted the fact that the franchise could have kept good relations with Mayfield, which could have helped them. Here are some of the comments from fans:
I'm not gonna say Baker Mayfield already has more completions than Deshaun Watson did yesterday, because that would be absurd of me to say
On his first throwing play, Baker Mayfield has more passing yards than Deshaun Watson did yesterday.
Baker Mayfield looks pretty good on the field right now. Better than I expected and certainly better than Deshaun Watson looked yesterday
The fans also brought up the fact that Mayfield played better than Watson did in the preseason game. Maybe the franchise has set them for failure in the upcoming season due to them mishandling the situation around their quarterbacks.
Baker Mayfield has his eyes set on Week 1
The Baker Mayfield revenge tour will start at the place where it should start. The Carolina Panthers will be facing the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the new NFL season. It provides Mayfield with an excellent opportunity to wreak even more havoc on his former team.
The Browns will be without Watson, which is why the Panthers have a good chance of winning that game. The Baker Mayfield era in Carolina could begin with a great start, and the former No. 1 overall pick would love to do it.

If Deshaun Watson eventually misses the entire season, then the Browns have a great chance of missing the playoffs again. This would be a huge letdown for such a fantastic roster. It is the main reason why fans are so upset with the current situation around the franchise.
