Former Browns castoff shares strong opinions on team's handling of Deshaun Watson

Super Bowl-winning and former Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz had some strong opinions on how the franchise is handling its quarterback situation.

Browns starting quarterback Deshaun Watson has struggled to return to his former Pro Bowl self and is putting the offense in a dismantling position. As a former offensive tackle of the franchise who was here through some very difficult years, Schwartz had some thoughts on the Browns sticking with Watson as their starting quarterback.

Even though Cleveland is struggling to win games, Schwartz believes that leaving Watson in is a complete insult to some of the veteran Browns players. He believes that even though they are struggling, keeping Deshaun Watson at quarterback is an acceptance of failure that is disrespectful to other players on the team.

Those like Joel Bitonio, Charlie Hughlett, and others, have been on much worse rosters that have shown more heart than this talented Browns team. Schwartz’s words have volume as a former Cleveland Browns player, but we’ll see if they amount to any decisions by the organization in the long run.
