With the breaking news that Deshaun Watson will have season-ending surgery, it's a good time to examine the Browns return on their $230M investment, along with them giving up three first-round picks, one third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks. 34 games into the 85 total games of the contract have delivered the following results:

11 full games at QB
7 total wins (when playing the entire game)
3 total games with above average play (measured by ANY/A)

To be fair, they might be 40% of the way thru the duration of the contract, but they have to swallow 83% of the cap-hit for the contract.

We've only just begun

I'm measuring it in sadness over time, so it's actually pretty appealing that it's 40% through.

The lasting negative impact of cap hits and wasted talent will just feel like business as usual, just without a serial sexual predator bringing down the whole vibe.
