The Browns front office put out a statement that they were pleased to have Deshaun Watson taking over as their starting QB after doling out a record-high price for him. They referred to Watson as "the adult in the room."

Well, I hope it wasn't a massage room!

Of course that all came back to bite them in the backside, royally!

I have no doubt that Mayfield lacked maturity as a young man. He also has a reputation of being stubborn and playing through his injuries, which impedes his performance and can hurt the team.

But if Cleveland had stuck with him, they would no doubt be better off now.
