Mary Kay Cabot @MaryKayCabot Breaking: QB Bailey Zappe is the #Browns No. 2 today behind Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and ahead of Jameis Winston, who was questionable with a sore shoulder, source tells clevelanddotcom.
I don't see anything that resembles an actual legitimate NFL starting QB on the Browns roster and that includes watson. I also don't see Winston as being a valid bridge QB until the Browns, if the current Browns find a franchise QB. So for me the Browns are at a juncture that no matter who they start it's all rather meaningless. I file it under the "no harm no foul" category. Be it DTR or Zappe at this point they're just using what they have on the roster in a futile attempt to fill a cavernous hole much akin to putting a band aid on a bullet wound.
With the way watson has played since he's been here there shouldn't be any "hard feelings" from him about a QB competition in camp next year. But there probably will be. Hopefully they'll sign someone between now and then that may play to the level of an actual NFL starting QB to compete against him.
