Cleveland Browns’ newest QB acquisition, Deshaun Watson, has been facing a lot of heat lately. As recent developments follow, a 24th plaintiff emerges against him. And amidst the controversy, NFL fans on Twitter make clear comparisons between him and former Niners QB Colin Kaepernick.

Twitteratis weigh in on the current situation of Deshaun Watson with what Colin Kaepernick had faced early in 2017. Questions arise about the treatment received by Kaepernick for taking a stance on “equality” yet getting “black-balled” for it. While on the other hand, Watson scores a hefty contract with $230 million guaranteed, despite having 24 active cases against him.

Deshaun Watson might have been looking forward to the 2022 season after missing out on all the football action in 2021 with the Texans. However, it remains to be seen if he could make it to the gridiron this season. A season-long suspension could prove to be a blunder for the Cleveland Browns too, who have their hopes up high with the new QB.

On the contrary, Kaep still hasn’t landed a QB role even after five years. The one time Super Bowl finalist even opened up on his acceptance of a backup role in the NFL, yet no franchise has come forward to sign him.
