Ken asks whether anyone has changed their stance on Watson, admitting he opposed the trade and doesn't see a long-term quarterback but is ready to close the book now that the Browns are 4-2 and Watson is playing complementary football. Ken and Lima compare him to other players with troubled pasts and predict a heavy Browns crowd in Tennessee. The whole show agrees the Browns aren't winning in spite of Watson, though they split on how much credit goes to him versus the defense, and Ken opens the phone lines.
