Ken Defends Fans Who Still Can't Root for Deshaun Watson
Podcast:The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima Published On: Tue Sep 22 2026 Description: Ken pushes back on a narrative he says another Cleveland show invented—that fans everywhere declared Watson "fixed" after one good game—arguing nobody with a brain made that claim and he's still holding the quarterback at arm's length. He acknowledges fans who can't enjoy wins because of Watson specifically, refusing to mock them given the team's rough five-year stretch, while still defending the choice to start him over Shedeur Sanders as the prudent, results-based call. A caller named Ronnie argues Watson simply needed a confidence boost after getting booed, and Ken agrees the coaching staff clearly did work behind the scenes to help him bounce back.
