5 QB’s In The Room
-
This is Berry and Stefanski's sixth season coming up with the Browns.
How time flies. It seems like just yesterday when we stiffed Stef and hired the bill-hilly, Freddie Kitchens instead.

That was a crazy season.
It doesn't help the new head coaching hire Freddie Kitchens when your alleged franchise QB shows up to training camp fat and by accounts of those that were there apparently never opened the playbook the entire off-season because getting hummers in the parking lot of the Westlake Cheesecake Factory was more important.

That's the type of truth you just can't get from CalFOX NEWS...

Recent reports indicate Watson could be physically ready to return by midseason, and if so, the Browns would have to decide whether to activate his practice window or keep him sidelined until 2026.
Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com recently provided some insight into the situation.
“One league source said Watson could be ready to practice sometime in October, but it remains to be seen if the Browns would open the window that soon, roughly nine months post-op,” Cabot wrote.
Watson reportedly has maintained his presence as a mentor in the quarterback room.
His rehabilitation has been intense, and his leadership role has become increasingly prominent.
Rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel have praised Watson’s guidance, particularly his help with red-zone concepts and pre-snap reads.

Interesting. I suppose there’s value in that. Hard to say what’s ticking Watson’s clock these days. Seems like the writing has been on the wall for a while and l’m not sure what he has to gain other than the guy really does want to compete. Good for him.
I like it. It’s unexpected and as long as the guidance is good it sounds like a positive to me.

Ugh...
I can't wait until he's cut next off-season and we are officially done with this nonsense.

Yeah, apparently we're not yet done enduring...
So, what if he's medically cleared to practice / play in October? What do we do?
Obviously we need more information to narrow down an answer or three. Like, How many and who are our QB's at that time? Who's been the starter? What does management think of the rookies Gabriel & Sanders at that time?
If the organization likes the QB room at the time Watson becomes available, can they just stick him on IR anyway?
If they were to put him on the PS, would another team have to pick up his contract if they take him from there? (I'm thinking yes...)

I haven't seen a question like that since watching "Leave it to Beaver" in black and white. "Ward - Don't you think you were hard on the Beaver last night?"
Coming off a torn achilles after playing the worst football of his career only to re-injure it can't possibly interest anybody once you also factor in 2 more years of an absurd amount of guaranteed money owed the new team would be responsible for.

So then planting him on the PS squad is a viable option...

? While we're at it here - do you think there will ever be a higher paid practice squad player?

Pickett. I think Stef likes him as a fit for his system. He can move around. He can get wide. He can hurt you with his legs. And has a strong enough arm. He was brought in to be the starter. Flacco was then signed as insurance while knowing full well that they would be drafting someone like Gabriel. And so that's what the batting order was planned to be. Pickett, Flacco, someone like Gabriel. Of course the draft came and Sanders fell onto the team...and it seems to have thrown everything up in the air...when in reality, it hasn't. He just joins the batting order at the tail end.
At the end of TC however, they may be faced with a situation that they weren't expecting going into the draft. The idea of having to cut Flacco or keep 4 QB's. But you know that that was mentioned while they were working to trade up and draft Sanders.
I expect that the 4 QB's will remain in that batting order throughout TC. But it could happen that one of the rookies shows up such that he cannot be ignored. Or, that Flacco shows that he's just plain that much better than Pickett. - a few more weeks -

Off season and off TC are the worst times of the football year. Ain't much to say that hasn't been beaten to death already. 1st open practice July 25. Until then it's summer hibernation time.?

Tell me about it. Last year a few of us thought we'd do preview of the various position groups, which was kind of fun. That said, it was just during the time of year you summarized. Aside from that, were we really telling the passionate fans like yourself anything you/they didn't already know about this team?
Every year, since Street & Smith back in the day, I buy the NFL Preview Magazine(s) ie: Lindy's or Athlon Sports. This year in Lindy's - aside from previewing each team they have sections where they rank players and units in "The NFL's Best" section. On page 128, I kid you not, the Browns TE is listed at #9. The funny part of that was they couldn't even get his name right. They listed him as Daniel Njoku - Cleveland Browns.
Moral of the story: edit before Happy Hour; don't drink and drive; and in some cases - drinking before posting is advisable to strongly encouraged.

Fannin will be better than "Daniel" before the end of the season plays out IMO. He has a way of just getting open and taking away contested throws if he's not wide open.

Aggies, I share your excitement for Fannin! If the Browns can tap all of the mismatches he will cause - they're gonna have a lot of fun! The collective football wood factor in here will go from balsa to sequoia.

Which one might we not see? Flacco I assume?

In TC we'll probably see Pickett with the ones. Gabriel mostly with the twos, but some work with the ones. And Sanders will be working with the bottom of the roster. Exactly how much of what Flacco will get I'm not sure enough to guess at...but he'll get some time with the ones.
In preseason games I expect Gabriel to get the lion's share of the work. Followed by Sanders. Pickett will also get some time in preseason IMO because he's brand new to the team. But that'll kind of depend on whether or not he's still viewed as the starting QB at that point.
