The Cleveland Browns' decision to start Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders continues to be a perplexing one. Just about everyone outside of the organization is scratching their head over it, especially after his comments about fans booing him.
But Ryan Fitzpatrick has a prediction. The former NFL quarterback had a simple prediction while on air for the Browns' final preseason game against the New England Patriots: "Once he fails, Shedeur is going to jump into this thing and he's going to be the guy. This city is going to be behind him."
When asked by Kirk Herbstreit if he really does think Watson will fail, he had this to say: "Yeah. It's gonna happen."
