NFL franchise Cleveland Browns have recently found themselves at odds with their fans after trading for quarterback Deshaun Watson. It is a damning verdict for the franchise, who were looking to move on from QB Baker Mayfield this season. The verdict comes following recent voting that seems to hint that the franchise might have made the wrong choice.

A recent Twitter poll, conducted by The Big Play Reflog Show co-host McNeil, saw nearly 24,000 fans voting upon an intriguing question. The fans had to pick between Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield for becoming their starting QB for the 2022 NFL season.

The results from the public poll would have pulled the rug from under the Browns organization, as Mayfield was the popular choice.

The former No.1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft won the poll, with 68 percent of fans putting their faith in him over Watson. While it was a Twitter poll, the response would have been discouraging for an under-fire Watson in the last couple of months. As the 2022 NFL campaign approaches closer, the franchise will be sticking to Watson as their QB for the future.

Have the Cleveland Browns made a costly mistake with Deshaun Watson?

Despite the overwhelming pressure from fans, the Browns hierarchy still holds firm in their newest acquisition. According to reports, while the Browns are aware of his off-field problems and dissent of the fans, they appear unmoved. The report from Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com also states that the franchise has no plans of voiding Watson’s contract.
