Is Deshaun Watson's Redemption Story Doomed Before It Starts?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Fri Aug 28 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony replay Ryan Fitzpatrick's blunt take that Deshaun Watson isn't going to be good, contrasting it with Amazon's glowing pregame coverage and questioning why fans should soften on a player they don't believe will actually perform. They argue the fan-player relationship is purely transactional at this point, no redemption without wins, and note internal conversations about how far to take criticism of Watson as the season approaches, while a caller makes the case that Dillon Gabriel deserved a fairer shot from the start.
