It is pretty apparent to anyone who watches the live broadcasts or the all-22 of the Cleveland Browns that they have a massive problem with quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Beyond a new lawsuit, he was forced to settle off the field, but he has yet to settle anything on the field after three years with the team. As the Browns sit at 1-5 on the season, Watson sits at the center of their issues. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has continuously refused to bench the quarterback as he seems destined to go down with the ship.

How much longer will the Browns stick with Watson before turning to Jameis Winston or Dorian Thompson-Robinson?

These struggles not only show up to anyone with eyes but they show up in the statsheet as well as Watson finds himself at the bottom of the league in a handful of categories. Here, we take a look at each and every category that Watson has no peer in at the bottom of the list. It is not pretty.

Expected Points Added (EPA) per game

With a success rate of just 33.3 percent, again, Watson falls behind the likes of Levis, Nix, Andry Dalton, and more.
