Alright so some of the talking heads on ESPN are saying we made a mistake starting DW instead of SS. Fine, they’re entitled to their opinion. All that has to be done if indeed this is a mistake is say DW you’re out and Shedeur you’re in. Very simple and succinct. It’s not like it hasn’t been done before.

C'mon homes! Common sense has NO PLACE in the reactionary environment we call the media.

Exactly Fate. It’s something that can be easily corrected. It’s not like we lost millions of dollars in an investment that we can’t get back. Oh wait we did do that!!!!! 🫤That’s ok this QB situation is easier to correct 👍

Maybe in next years draft if they get it right. I don't see anyone currently in the QB room that can make the QB situation easier to correct.

When your two choices present you with a lose/lose proposition there's really no way to win no matter who you choose to start or way to correct it. You just move on the the other losing choice.

Correct- if both are losers, what's the problem? Our new coach thinks DW gives us best chance to win....we will see. Talking heads say no one wants Sanders due to weak arm, holds ball, processing speed- who knows, plus he was a Pro Bowler due to his possee- I hope Green balls out and we get real interesting before the cuts.....Go Browns!!!! Lastly, if you were paying someone millions of dollars for sure, would you want something for the millions.

First it seems we both agree that whether he went with Sander or watson he was really in a no win situation.

To address this part of your post............


Let me put is this way. if you purchased a car on a five year loan and after four years that car kept breaking down when you drove it and when it was running it couldn't even get you up the hill on your driveway in order to make it into the garage, wouldn't you already realize what you got for your money?

At that point would you trust that car to be dependable enough to use as your daily driver to and from work? I suppose you could just keep risking it already knowing there will be a lot of days you'll be calling a tow truck. But at some point i would think you would depend on a different car and leave that one in the garage.



Just sayin'.

17 points in 2 games didn't give me hope. It just made me think of last year. At least last night's game will be fun to watch, realizing it is the 3rd PS game with loser talented players.

Riddick and Deion were teammates on the Falcons, and are still friends. Riddick's "endorsement" of Shedeur was more about Deion and "the way he was brought up."

Lots of guys have starter "potential." Unfortunately, Shedeur isn't starter quality right now, and I'm not convinced he's ever going to get there. Dillon looked better after virtually no reps. Unfortunately, since they invested all those reps in Shedeur, he's probably going to stick around and take more reps which, to me, would seemingly be more efficaciously spent elsewhere.

If he's had every football advantage his entire life, and he still can't do (NFL) basic stuff (i.e, consistently throw on time), why am I to believe it is suddenly going to happen this season?

He's a talented thrower, but there's a lot more to playing QB.

The biggest question left in my mind about the starting QB is just how bad would DW have to be before Monken feels SS is a better alternative?

What depths would DW have to display before SS becomes the starter?

Worthless post IMO. Artificial controversy is scripted as a lifestyle for these "celebrity analysts." This "DIScussion" has two sides, but consider it a bit deeper.
The Browns have two lousy choices in their contrived "competition" they milked for months. The "others" looked better to me than DW and SS. DW is chosen. SS is benched.
My point is coming. The choices are not excluding each other. SS is the lesser of two weak candidates. DW is "starter" in this room, but not consistently able to function as a winning NFL QB. Fans have seen one ceiling, not two. Those embracing SS probably have given in to the urge to draw to inside straights playing poker. They can have their own "expert" "analyst" "panelist" "celebrity" talking heads stacked up like cordwood opining away. The field is all that matters. This discussion is silly, and keeping score of winners and losers is silliest of all.

We have an offensive minded HC that did a very good job in Baltimore. I feel more confident with him than Stefanski. Another thing, what difference does it really make whom we start especially to all the talking heads? If things don't work out with DW than we just make a change. I think it would be detrimental to the teams moral if we started a QB that was 2nd best in training camp. The players know what QB was playing the best as they will know when the QB that starts should be replaced because of poor play. The team wants to win. It's nothing new for us to make a QB change.

And on this much we agree. I can't think of a single HC in the NFL that would put up with a lot of turnovers from his QB.

But that brings up another HUGE factor IMO. How would changing over to SS help in that department? Sanders threw 7 td's compared to 10 int's last season and began this year by throwing 2 int's and 1 td in preseason. I'm not sure how handing the reigns over to an already known turnover machine would help in that department.

In fact I believe that Sanders propensity to turn the ball over may have been one of the main ingredients in determining DW would be the starting QB.

I know it doesn't sound logical to happen but if ball security was the main focus of changing starting QB's Gabriel may be the best choice.

I'm sure Gabriel will get a shot at playing this season. I'm sure they all will plus someone not on the roster at this point.

I try to keep in mind that Monken has zero ties to Sanders, Gabriel or DW. They were here before he got here. The only QB currently with the team Monken has any ties to is Taylon Green. If they are only forced to use three starting QB's this season I have no idea which way it would lean between Gabriel and Green.
