It is the so-called 800-pound gorilla in the room that everyone who works for the Browns, or roots for them, is, out of fear, trying to ignore.

Not us here at BrownsDailyDose.com. We’re not one bit afraid. In fact, we’re going to kick him, or her, right in the ankle — right now — so as to rouse the mammouth beast. It needs to be roused because it might well play a role — and an extremely significant one at that — in this huge and, to this point, incredibly disappointing saga.

That is, what if quarterback Deshaun Watson, even after his torn shoulder heals, never plays close, or anything even remotely close, to the franchise player the Browns thought they were getting when they traded an unprecedented three first-round NFL Draft picks to the Houston Texans to get him, then promptly signed him to a fully-guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract, all under the shadow of a messy sexual situation?

Yes, what is he doesn’t, and this grand plan doesn’t, pan out but instead blows up in the Browns’ faces?

Ugh.

To be continued.
