Longtime Nfl Qb Expects Deshaun Watson To Fail With Browns: 'it's Gonna Happen'

The Cleveland Browns named Deshaun Watson their starting quarterback to begin the 2026 NFL season over Shedeur Sanders.

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick believes that could actually end up working to Sanders' benefit.

Fitzpatrick expressed his thoughts about Cleveland's quarterback battle during Amazon Prime Video's broadcast of the Browns vs. New England Patriots preseason game. The 43-year-old voiced little faith in Watson holding onto the starting job for the entire season.

"Once [Watson] fails, Shedeur's gonna jump into this thing, and he's going to be the guy," Fitzpatrick opined. "And this city is gonna be behind him."

Prime Video's color analyst, Kirk Herbstreit, quickly jumped in to ask Fitzpatrick to confirm he believed Watson would fail as Cleveland's starter.

"Yeah, it's gonna happen," Fitzpatrick replied. "I mean, Shedeur's playing this year. I think all three of these guys – I think [Dillon] Gabriel's gonna have a chance to play as well."

Ryan Fitzpatrick: "Once [Deshaun Watson] fails, Shedeur (Sanders) is going to jump into this thing, and he's going to be the guy. And this city is going to be behind him."
