5 QB’s In The Room
-
So, THIS WEEK, Stef will announce who (Flacco) will be the starting QB. There's 3 practices this week, then Saturday's Rams game. Then roster cuts. Then signings of cut players along with roster cuts.
Depo's already in an orgasmic state of being just anticipating all the fun.?EDIT: As I was typing apparently a youtube was posted saying Flacco is the starter.

There was some chance that it might've been Pickett to be the starter. But once he got hurt and was 'down' for so long, that chance evaporated away.
Hopefully the starters get some playing time against the Rams so they can be ready for the Bengals at home....because we MUST at least split the games against our divisional rivals.

- QB schoolThat play at 2 minutes 3 seconds into the video was epic pass pro blunder by RG Zak Zinter. YES, he had a man lined up on his outside shoulder but when the Center had a DT lined up on his Left Shoulder - Zinter actually moved to his right at the snap which opened the Guard-Center gap even wider for the LBer (already telegraphing blitz). In that case, Zinter should have sealed off his inside with his feet/body (keeping in mind he still had his Right Arm free to assist the RT) understanding the pre-snap leverage on the Center was already threatening to widen the gap between Zinter and Wypler even further. Having said that, I didn't see him repeat that same mistake in the portion of the video I watched.
Pre-season is just as important for shaking off mental rust. I doubt Zinter is a dumb football player when his national championship teammates voted him a team captain. Then again, I'm not always the brightest apple in the orchard.

Yeah...I've noticed that, so far, IMO, he shouldn't be out on the field when we're playing live games.
I think there’s a real chance he doesn’t make the team

The Browns traded up to get Mike Phipps at #3 overall in 1970; but when they drafted Brian Sipe in the 13th round in 1972 - should they have just kept telling Sipe "yeah but you've never been the plan man." They could have but a lot of us were ecstatic they didn't. It'll be interesting. Like Drew Brees (it took him 3 years of growing pains before Pro Bowl #1 the year rookie QB Philip Rivers held out), I think Gabriel will take longer to develop. If Sanders heats up - they gotta go with the better guy.
The Browns are gonna have to settle on a QB sooner rather than later and quit dicking around with the patience of the fan base.. Especially since they are basically ripping the fans off for the new Taj Mahal they wont be able to tailgate at..

There's 1 unpredictable factor in all this. Who's going to have longer early on growing pains? Steve Young got chased out of Tampa Bay by a media that caught Bill Walsh's attention in SF. Steve Young is a HOF QB today.
Buffalo had a plan for Josh Allen so they were actually ready to see growing pains they knew they could coach him out of rather than knee-jerk to a lesser talented guy that hopes to be a career back-up at best. Some young QBs get it immediately - others take longer. That ain't new! It is the problem this time of year; especially on a team divvying up reps between 4 QBs. I'd say 5 QBs ; but Pickett's pulled muscle has Huntley getting his reps for now. While I don't think (maybe just wishfully) Sanders is as bad as his performance was yesterday - that means I also need to acknowledge he isn't as good as his 1st performance was. What I mean is if he gets decent protection and there's a solid running game prong in the balance - I've seen him play well.
We've only seen both rookies twice. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I want them both to do well. My guess is if our FO wants to prove their plan is right especially after they played a big role in giving up everything for Watson - they were very happy our fans got to see what they saw yesterday. As someone once reminded us - their plan is Gabriel; but you might have to fact check me on the "once" thing...

I was actually excited when they took Zinter, he was a captain on a very good OLine... but it appears he's just not progressing at the next level. Perhaps its more difficult when you don't know what the defense is going to do prior to each play.

I completely agree.. You said it all better than I did.. My reason for going Gabriel is simple... He takes what the defense gives him. No he doesn't have an arm like Daryl LaMonica or Jay Schreoder. But he played against better teams in college.. He processes things lightening fast.. I'm not down on Sanders (Despite what others may think).. He's basically a good kid with a lot in front of him to learn.. And as long as Daddy stays away.. He has a chance to be exceptional under the right circumstances... I still think regardless of what happens.. My hunch is Jimmy has a big boner for Arch.. The jury is still out and time will tell on that one...

I think he throws pretty dang hard. Gabriel did well in his two stints. Sanders did not show well in his second outing and has probably played his last football for this season. Unless the season goes off the rails.

Me too Dutch! I think his mental game needs more consistency - which is the complete opposite of what I expected. Some guys just take longer than others. Let's hope he doesn't take as long as Austin Corbett took. Speaking of which, that guy just got a nice contract this off-season to stay at Carolina. On that film I singled Zinter out on for that mental blunder - he played pretty good after that.

Sure. It was (still is apparently) a position that needed to be addressed. Fortunately Bitonio has given us another season.
...what is his plan here? Strong just runs past him as he's obviously not going to be of any help to him.

On screen passes a RB should usually exercise a little patience to let the blockers in front of him get to their blocks from the lanes they're in; or in this case - allow the blocker to create a running lane for him. Could there be one potentially setting up here on the outside of Zinter further away from defenders in pursuit?
FWIW, Zinter is a 3rd round draft pick (that came off a brutal compound fracture to the Tibia & Fibula in his final regular season game) that is only entering his 2nd NFL season. When both Bitonio and Teller have frequented Pro Bowls here - his learning curve on top of what he needed to overcome injury-wise wasn't slam-dunking immediate readiness to start and upgrade. I get more annoyed with guys for when they make mental errors. That's why I pointed out Zinter's mental error in pass pro on that video someone shared the other day.

Well said! If the Manning family was happy Peyton decided to return to UT for his senior year to 1 more full year of experience - my guess is they will want the much less experienced Arch to return to Texas in 2026 (while earning millions of $ doing so). As much as the Mannings like and appreciate Jimmy for what he helped set up for Peyton at UT, they're not about to get clumsy at thought with Jimmy's NFL history with the QB position. It's already being speculated that Arch will return to Texas in 2026 by some draft analysts already reluctant to list him as a 1st round QB prospect in 2026 draft class. That COULD change I suppose if Texas wins a Natty.

He'll make more $$ in 2026 if he returns, but risks the long term $$ if he doesn't come out and take the guaranteed money.

Reading that shed sander has an average time to throw of 3.96 seconds ..the highest by any rooking since PFF began tracking the stat in 2013.
Other notables
Tim Tebow 3.46
Justin Fields 3.50
Malik Willis 3.72

Of his first 6 throws, 4 are absolutely on shedeur. The OL wasn't incredible, but when I have side by side footage of Shedeur and Gabriel, with the latter properly executing the concepts decisively... it should be very cut and dry that he had a rough day.
