Who do you think our starting QB will be?

MKC is reporting that Watson has the inside track to be named the starter.
A lot of things can happen from now to early September.

Why waste time on a dude who is washed up and on his way out.... You're taking needed reps away from Shadeur if they believe he's the franchise QB moving forward or at least trying to find out if he's the guy or not no?

I understand your thinking. But Monken doesn't know who's washed up nor does he know who the franchise QB is. He'll be using the offseason programs and TC to find that out. And in order to find out he's got to see them doing the reps.

And if Watson ends up being named starter before Training Camp even starts, you'll admit she was right, yes?

Long term, I absolutely agree with you. I don't see the long term point of the Browns starting Watson. I want to see what we have in Sanders and if we need to move on and go all-in on getting a QB in the 2027 Draft.
But Monken was hired to win now, and if he thinks the veteran QB is the guy that gives the team the best chance to do so, it's his decision.
And it's a long season... being named starter for the season opener in September doesn't mean he's necessarily the starter in October, or November, or December.

It would probably be the only time she was... For once... I'll plead the 5th because I absolutely can't stand her.. He will look great in tee shirts and shorts.. Soon as the pads and gear come on He will flop... We have seen this before..... I personally think he's washed up...

I will never forget that FROZEN game against a crippled Saints team...that we HAD TO win to stay alive for the playoffs. Watson threw 3 absolutely beautiful TD passes. Two of 'em went straight through the frozen fingers of Njoku & Donavan Peoples-Jones. And the third was just about to be caught by Njoku crossing the back of the end zone when his feet slid right out from under him and the ball sailed right over him as he was horizontal about a foot off the ground, before he landed. We freakin' lost to a team that had to play half the game in a wild-cat situation because of their terrible QB situation. - the dome can't be built fast enough.

Monken with the perfect response..
We've been on the field three practices, which was awesome to get out there with our players."
The point is what I've seen after three days, OK, that gives us a little bit of a 40,000-foot view of where we're at. But that can change.

The one thing they're not taking into consideration is that if Watson demonstrates that he's the best QB....the other players will see that. And if they don't play him, then the players will lose confidence in the coach and the organization. There's also the fact that the team wasn't very good when he was playing. I know that it sounds like I'm defending Watson but I'm just trying to be real. Even Zac said that Watson looked like the best QB in the one practice that he saw. I'm sure if someone made Monken listen to Jackson's remarks he'd laugh and say, Who the fuck is Zac Jackson! Basically he's just riling up the fanbase against Watson...which is not a wise thing to do in case it goes the other way.

Which is why I don't think Monken will not hesitate to start him.
A good way to lose a locker room is to give the players a reason to doubt you, and if the majority of them thinks they are being held back because the wrong player is starting, that's what very well could happen... but...
Jackson isn't wrong. Long term, starting Watson accomplishes little. And this team is in the middle of being built.

The Browns and squeelers just made a trade. The Browns traded watson, shadeur and Gabriel for Drew Allar and a 7th round pick next draft.
Taylen Green, out of Arkansas, will back up Allar, and the Browns will sign Bryson Barnes out of Utah State as the 3rd string qb.
but then I woke up, dammit. lol

Here's the QB competition as I see it.
We have the 12th pick of the 1st round, Deshaun Watson, healthy, rested, rearing to go.
Against SheDufuss Sanders (as Ballpeen refers to him), the midget, and the 6th round pick who can run fast and jump high.
Without having to use too many little grey brain cells, Who would you bet your money on to win that battle?

Who do I think will start? Watson
Who should start? Sanders
I always say I root for the jersey (Browns), not the player. But starting Watson will be another PR nightmare, almost giving the fans the finger.
We drafted two QBs a year ago yet the rumors of Watson are swirling. Unreal.

I agree
I fear Watson the Great will lead our offense to the altitudinal heights of Death Valley.
I would prefer Sanders and if he fails, our first round pick in 27
-
I also agree with Bob. I want Shedeur to start, but I think it's going to be Watson at the beginning of the year. I see this playing out like last season, just swap Flacco for Watson and Shedeur/Gabriel reverse spots at QB2/QB3. Jimmy could care less about the fan base, he's paying Watson so he'll play.

Unless Watson comes out sharp and lights out I'd rather see us start Sanders.
I don't think any of us are expecting much this season, so allow our only serviceable QB to go out and settle whether he's a back up or a starter.
Then we can get serious about whether or not we need to draft a QB next year and I'm sure just about everyone here already thinks we do need to find a QB next year regardless, not having much faith in the QBs we already have.
What I'll be thinking about is how do we get in a position to get our QB if possible next year?

Ya know, since we revamped the OL...and drafted 2 WR's...with Judkins, Fannin, Sampson, if we can get some fairly good QB play, with our D, why shouldn't we expect to be successful? I mean, 'on paper', the OL & WR's will be better. That should in turn allow the QB and RB's to be better. Of course, all bets are off if the OL just turns out to be just different big fat guys...and Fano, Concepcion & Boston struggle like rookies can. But at least this year there IS hope.

We might be decent and we can't do much worse than last year, but we won't be where we want to be.

I should have specified, we don't expect much from our QBs
