If the Browns were expecting their new QB to be Superman right away, Sunday served as proof of how far away they still might be.
Deshaun Watson’s return from an 11-game suspension stemming from more than two dozen lawsuits detailing graphic accounts of sexual harassment and sexual assault—or, as one unequipped television broadcaster Sunday chose to call it, “his long road back”—looked exactly like a guy taking a football field who hasn’t seen, or been able to effectively simulate, live-game speed in almost two years.
That’s mostly what we’re prepared to say right now, which is the ultimate insult to the hot-take gods, who lobbed us up a dunkable ball Sunday.
