Louis Riddick said he would trust Deshaun Watson over Aaron Rodgers in a clutch situation, crediting Watson’s relationship with Todd Monken, improved fourth-quarter play, and ability to build confidence among Cleveland’s young players. "I can't believe I'm saying it, but it is Deshaun Watson for me [over Aaron Rodgers with the game on the line], because I really do like the relationship that he has built with Todd Monken. I underestimated Todd Monken's ability to have an effect and a positive impact on this offense overall. We objectively always attach a ton of importance to how quarterbacks play in the fourth quarter, especially with their team behind. Deshaun has elevated his level of play in those moments with young players. Deshaun has made it work. He's made it work with all these guys. I have a really hard time believing that that's how it's really looked so far for Cleveland, and I think it really has translated to the rest of this football team playing with a level of confidence I did not see coming."
