Deshaun Watson has terrible passing statistics

Deshaun Watson

Ahead of the 2022 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns decided to trade away several first-round picks for former Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and give him an absolutely massive fully guaranteed contract even despite the sexual misconduct allegations he was facing. After two seasons, it’s safe to say that things have not worked out the way they hoped.

Deshaun Watson has yet to play anywhere close to a full season for the Browns as a result of both injuries and a lengthy suspension, and when he has played, statistics indicate that he has been among the least accurate quarterbacks in the entire league.

This week, NFL analyst Warren Sharp put together a list that ranked quarterbacks based on their rate of incompletions due to inaccurate passes – meaning, incompletions that are the fault of the quarterback, not the wide receiver. And Watson had the worst rate in the entire league.

Here’s the full list:

43.9% – Deshaun Watson

40.6% – Tyrod Taylor

38.8% – Trevor Siemian

37.7% – Bryce Young

36.7% – Lamar Jackson

36.2% – Jordan Love

36.1% – Trevor Lawrence

35.6% – C.J. Stroud

35.4% – Aidan O’Connell

35.0% – Kenny Pickett

34.9% – Easton Stick

34.9% – Matthew Stafford

34.8% – Joshua Dobbs

34.6% – Daniel Jones

34.3% – Tua Tagovailoa

33.1% – Mac Jones

33.0% – Sam Howell

32.9% – Bailey Zappe

32.2% – Jimmy Garoppolo

32.1% – Ryan Tannehill

30.9% – Joe Flacco

30.8% – Gardner Minshew

30.8% – Justin Fields

30.1% – Derek Carr

29.5% – Desmond Ridder

29.2% – Baker Mayfield

29.0% – Jalen Hurts

28.9% – Joe Burrow

28.7% – Brock Purdy

28.6% – Zach Wilson

28.3% – Kyler Murray

27.8% – Josh Allen

27.4% – Will Levis

27.2% – Dak Prescott

26.4% – Justin Herbert

26.3% – Jared Goff

25.3% – Russell Wilson

24.5% – Patrick Mahomes

23.2% – Kirk Cousins

22.2% – Jake Browning

21.6% – Geno Smith

Needless to say, this is some pretty terrible news for Watson that highlights just how bad he’s been even when he’s been on the field, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.

We’ll have to see how Watson performs this upcoming season because things have not gone well for him so far.
