Would Browns fans rather have Baker Mayfield or DeShaun Watson?

One of the side dramas in Sunday’s game between the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans is the comparison between two young star quarterbacks in Baker Mayfield and Deshaun Watson.

Both were superstars in college, each nominated twice for the Heisman Trophy, with Mayfield actually winning the award in 2017. Watson almost became a Cleveland Brown with the 12th overall pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, but the Browns decided to work a trade with the Houston Texans, in exchange for two first round picks.

That trade was widely ridiculed as Watson become a rookie sensation, while the Browns went 0-16.
