Have Fans and Media Been Too Hard on Deshaun Watson?

A caller named David pushes back hard on the public-private playoff debate, arguing recruiting disparities in sports like soccer and tennis make competition fundamentally unfair to schools like his in Avon Lake, prompting Ken and Anthony to concede the point while noting life and competition were never designed to be fair. The show pivots to Albert Breer's take that Deshaun Watson's shaky return performance shouldn't be judged in isolation, with Ken admitting he's likely been overly critical of Watson based on years of frustration rather than this one game. Anthony points to Mary Kay Cabot's tweet about Watson's 63-yard completed bomb drawing backlash as proof that fans have already made up their minds, regardless of any positive plays he puts on tape.
