Yahoo SportsBrowns QB Deshaun Watson gets brutally honest on his performance in ugly loss to Jets

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYahoo Sports reports the Browns' three-game winning streak ended with a seventeen to twelve loss to the Jets, and Deshaun Watson told reporters his own play was not good enough.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that this is a growth opportunity. A quarterback who grades himself that harshly is basically a life coach with a helmet.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNOT. He handed you the material before you reached the microphone.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMy take is that he should be the only one allowed to criticize his game, like a copyright. Everyone else owes him a licensing fee.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHOT. Billing a press room for a verdict it already heard is the boldest thing said all night.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWow.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal take: every coach should have to deliver their postgame review before the game, so nobody is ever surprised.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's the hottest one yet, and it's a spoiler.
