AFC expectations: Should Patrick Mahomes change what fans expect?

For most teams, training camp is a time when hope springs eternal even though it occurs during the summer time. For the Cleveland Browns, so far so good with QB Deshaun Watson taking all the reps after being limited throughout offseason activities coming off shoulder surgery.

We saw in ESPN’s QB rankings how difficult things are for the AFC with a gauntlet of quarterbacks in the conference.
