Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken still not ready to name a starting QB
Dawgs By Nature • • sports
Key Points:
- Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken is delaying a decision on the Week 1 starting quarterback, with an announcement expected soon amid tough choices.
- The quarterback options—Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Taylen Green—all have significant drawbacks, with none clearly standing out as a strong starter.
- Watson faces fan backlash due to recent poor performances and controversial behavior, but starting him could be justified if the Browns begin the season with wins on the road.
- Sanders, despite a weak rookie season, is favored from a public relations standpoint and represents a safer choice, though his on-field performance remains unproven.
- Monken acknowledges the Browns will likely struggle regardless of the starter and emphasizes the need to make a decision soon to focus on the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
