CLEVELAND (AP) The incessant failure has been unbearably painful for the Browns and their fans.

On Sunday Frostee Rucker Jersey , Deshaun Watson made it feel even worse.

Houston’s getting-better-by-the-week rookie quarterback, a player Cleveland could have drafted this year but chose to go in a different direction, threw three touchdown passes as the Texans kept the Browns winless with a 33-17 victory.

The outing didn’t surprise coach Hue Jackson, who fell to 1-21 in two seasons with the Browns (0-6).

”What I saw from Deshaun Watson yesterday is what I anticipated he would be,” Jackson said Monday on a conference call.

”He is a good football player. They have a good system for him. He is playing good football. He did some great things. I am not surprised by what he is doing.”

Jackson’s praise was expected. After all, the coach bonded with Watson during the months leading up to the draft, even creating the impression the Browns might draft him.

Cleveland passed. On Monday Jared Veldheer Jersey , Jackson was asked if that was a mistake.

”How can we miss on him?” he said. ”We made a decision. He is in Houston. They picked him. We made the pick that we decided to take. That is how that works. He is not on our football team. He is on the Houston Texans team, and we didn’t pick him.”

Watson’s performance came while the Browns chose to sit their own rookie quarterback, DeShone Kizer, in the hope that he’d learn something from a week watching on the sideline.

His backup, Kevin Hogan, became Cleveland’s 28th different starter since 1999 and threw three interceptions Sunday. He will likely return to his role as second-stringer behind Kizer when the Browns host Tennessee on Sunday.

The break may do Kizer some good.

For Browns fans, there is no break in sight Tyvon Branch Jersey , and the decision to pass on Watson has only raised more questions about Jackson and a front office feeling some heat.

Following Sunday’s game, Jackson rebutted a report that he had texted Watson on draft day and told him to ”be ready.”

Watson stood by his claim that he was in communication with Jackson, a dialogue that seemed to underscore the coach’s belief that the Browns were going to select the former Clemson star.

However, after taking defensive end Myles Garrett first overall, Cleveland traded the No. 12 pick to Houston so the Texans could draft Watson.

A year earlier, Cleveland’s analytics-friendly decision makers, led by Sashi Brown J. J. Nelson Jersey , traded out of the No. 2 pick and Philadelphia took QB Carson Wentz.

Jackson isn’t denying his back-and-forth with Watson, but denies he ever told the young QB he was coming to Cleveland.

”He was a guy that I was fond of as a person and as a player, but I knew on draft day exactly where we were heading and what we were trying to accomplish,” Jackson said.

”Like I said yesterday and I will stand by it, I never would have said the way it came out that everybody is trying to make it seem like I texted him with the thought process that we would draft him and put him on our team.

”That wasn’t the case at all.”

Two drafts. Two missed chances.

Week after week, Jackson espouses commitment and the promise of a better day. It hasn’t arrived.

There are some small signs of progress, just not enough A.Q. Shipley Jersey , and six weeks into the season, the Browns are right where they were a year ago. Jackson acknowledged feeling some deja vu.

”I am not going to kid you – 0-6 is 0-6,” he said. ”We are different than last year in the sense that I think there is more hope and I think we understand the situation we are in and what we are trying to accomplish. I think our guys know and I truly know that at some point in time this thing is going to flip and you don’t know what might make it flip.

”I know one thing that can help it flip is we have to quit turning the ball over on offense, we have to keep getting more turnovers on defense and we have to continue to eliminate the penalties and the self-inflicted wounds that have hurt our football team.”

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone.
