Who do you think our starting QB will be?
-
I should have specified, we don't expect much from our QBs
Hang in there Jax! I know we've been extremely well trained for Doom & Gloom in a place where "Next Year" often feels like it's 10 years away. When the Browns blew an 18-3 lead over the Dolphins in the playoffs during Kosar's rookie year (1985) - the next year was "The Drive" in the AFC Championship at home. Now, we're really chomping at the bits for another "Next Year" so we make it to another AFC Championship Game - this time in Denver. This time it was Earnest Byner helping us erase a big 1st half deficit only to have "The Fumble" within a yard of the goal line preventing Byner from knotting the score instead of our stomachs. I almost wish I was smart enough to realize "next year" never comes - but I'm just too dumb or too loyal or still processing.

All good lol. Orion brought up a good point I forgot about, we have better pieces in place around our QBs, let's see what happens.
I don't like our QBs to be honest but I'm open minded.
I'd like to see Watson and Sanders come in and be focused with a competitive chip on their shoulder.
And hey, even if we win a SB, there will still be 'next year'. ? As long as we're all around for it.

Jimmy Haslam focused on next "120 days" to improve the Browns
Haslam reiterated the importance of winning as an organization
"The next 120 days are crucial for the organization," Haslam said. "We've got to find the right head coach. We've got to be efficient again in free agency. We have 10 draft picks including two number 1s. We have four picks in the top three rounds. And we've got to get really good players who are really good people again. We've got to be opportunistic if trade opportunities come along. We are solely focused on having a great 120 days so we can start winning games around here."

Who will be the Browns’ starting quarterback?
Berry has admitted that the team doesn’t know yet. Currently, the Browns are slated to begin offseason workouts with Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel rostered, plus whomever they might decide to add.
Berry said after Stefanski’s dismissal that the new head coach would have a say in the decision, adding “it's something that has to be solidified,” which could be interpreted as the team isn’t satisfied with what they already have, no matter who comes in as head coach.
Watson.. Haslam admitted to "a big swing & miss" on Watson.
As of March 2026, Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam expressed cautious optimism for Deshaun Watson, stating he has a "great chance" to start and a fresh start under a new offense. Despite previously calling the trade a "big swing and miss" in 2025 due to injuries and performance, Haslam noted, "we’re all excited" about a potential turnaround.
What's next?
Watson got PAID! Sanders is on a rookie deal.
Should Watson lose his starting job due to Injury?
I'll trust Monkin to give Sander's his chance to beat out Watson in camp.
Sander's can't waste his reps on drifting around.
Watson can't hold the ball stressing this new OL..(or risk another injury)
A no Nonsense Todd Monken will have both QB's see 1's at inter squad practices.. stay tuned
As of 120 days? Watson starts.. Sanders backup.. Green inactive.. Gabriel PS

I don't do sequels but hold on to that thought for a second. Having said that, did you know when your buddy Flugel watched Rocky I the 9th time that he finally beat Apollo Creed? I finally got my $'s worth although it did take a lot of MD 20/20; and I couldn't even tell anyone the next day if the popcorn tasted good. Just kidding of course; but I did watch that 1st one at least a few times over the years. Self-convicted - Not the brightest apple in the orchard!
Wouldn't it be nice if this QB the Browns just drafted shocked the world at QB like Brock Purdy after getting all tutored up by Jon Gruden?

I'd be shocked if he somehow ended his NFL career with double digit starts as a QB.
It'll be shocking if he ends his NFL career with double digits pre-season starts.

Now I'm scared to dream...
I'll be doing another virtual classroom on Taylen tonight around 7:30pm. Mostly because, I realize that, I've turn into a sort of "counter culture" for football.
When the media is hyping a 6th round pick, I feel it's a (my) responsibility to bring fans back down to earth. I might not draw the crowd the hype-men do, but at least I'm not going to make a clown of myself like some of those guys.
Jump on if you can make it.

Thanks TJ! I might be able to do that. I don't think you're counter culture at all - I was just having fun with you and Dutch in the flow of conversation at my thought of what if this 1 QB we drafted in the 6th round became the answer to all our problems. He'd be a nice slot receiver like Randy Moss was a rookie if he had the hand-eye coordination to go with his killer good fitness/quicks/speed...

I meant that, given my assessments being... I'll say 'tempered', it's almost its own counter-culture by default. Not intentionally contrarian, but comes across that way mostly because I refuse to partake in the unnecessary hype and build-up when it's unwarranted.

he can still WR and WILDDAWG while being our emergency QB
If he's transitioning to WR, it needs to be now. He just went through rookie mini camp as a QB, so that switch is on hold for another year, barring complete miracle.
The downside to being a Wild*insert preferred paw'd creature here* is the obviousness of the package. The Ravens maintain +1 at nearly all times because of Lamar being their full-time starter. Tossing in Taylen is an immediate ears-up to the QB-centric running game. Given the limitations that would be installed in the passing game when he's taking the snaps, there's an argument to that sort of thing being an immediate disadvantage to the offense.
Disclaimer: Not so much in pre-season.

Good point. I guess I should have been more clear about mine, which is my fault. Beyond a gadget, pure athlete type play here and there; if Taylen is making the change to WR this year, then it needs to happen now. But you bring up TP, who played QB his first 3 seasons. So, like Pryor, I think Taylen should* be given a similar timeframe. (Unless he's just THAT bad in pre-season. To the point of not functioning)
