The Cleveland Browns are concerned that Deshaun Watson may have torn his Achilles tendon Sunday afternoon.
However, despite losing their starting quarterback, the majority of Browns fans were rather happy with the way he fell on and ultimately left the field.
Watson is in his third season with Cleveland on a fully guaranteed $240 million contract, but it's safe to say things haven't worked out as well as everyone expected.
He played his seventh game of the season on Sunday, which turned out to be his most in Cleveland.

On top of that, Watson's off-field issues (more than 20 sexual assault allegations) caused him to miss nearly two years of football. While it's understandable that Browns fans are upset with Watson's performance as Watson's false expectations weren't fulfilled, Myles Garrett and backup quarterback Jameis Winston have had their fans boo the quarterback. I made my opinion public regarding the sending of
“I don't boo players who are injured on the field, especially when Kurt comes out,” Garrett said after the game. “As Browns and as fans, we should be ashamed to boo players who are eliminated.” . “To have a season-altering, career-altering injury, this guy isn't perfect and he doesn't need to be. None of us expect him to be perfect. I'm sorry for his actions on and off the field. Can't rate it. You can't throw a stone out of a glass house, but it needs to be better.

“You all see him trying so hard to get back here, with a smile on his face, trying to forget about everything outside of the facility. Death threats have come to his home. He's targeting my family. No one deserves that.'' This guy plays by example, even in college and most professional players, risking it all and playing with his body. The game was going 100 miles per hour and he took that risk. We have to be there for him as a team and as an organization. You can't be down because of mistakes on the field or mistakes off the field. We don't have the moral high ground to look down on this man. ”
The sentiments expressed by Winston in his will.
“I'm so angry at the reaction of a man who has put his body and life on the line for this city every day for the past four years, against the world. Whatever your perception, whatever you thought. It doesn't matter, it's going to happen to him, he promised me every day that I would be here to do my best for this team…I know that's what the hungry fans want. But I'm never going to pull a guy over once he's done.
“I don't want the treatment Deshaun Watson received from these die-hard fans. I know you love this game. When I first got here, I didn't want them to be great fans. “I knew Deshaun was treated badly, and now he has to go through new challenges.” So I'm going to support him and I'm going to cheer him up. And I'm going to be there for him. As a human being and as an NFL quarterback. ”
