Quarterback, quarterback, quarterback. It’s the position battle that Cleveland Browns fans will see atop the headlines in training camp again, but ultimately, it feels like it’ll be like last year in which it doesn’t really matter who Todd Monken chooses, as the team probably doesn’t have the quarterback of the future on the roster.
That’s why in our Reacts poll this week, we excluded the quarterback position to gauge what other position Browns fans are most interested in following this training camp.
I gave three positions to choose from: offensive line, wide receiver, or defensive end.
54% of fans voted for the offensive line, while 39% of fans voted for wide receiver. I figured that defensive end wouldn’t get too much support, even with the recent departure of Myles Garrett. Sure enough, defensive end only had 7% of the vote.
With the wide receivers, fans are curious how it will play out, but I think are encouraged by a pair of youngsters being added to the group. With the offensive line, the entire line was replaced. Although they were replaced with players who are rather durable and have had some good seasons, we also don’t know exactly who will slot into what positions and what the chemistry will be like. As one fan said:
“[The offensive line] is critical to the success of this team this year. With the potential of five new starters and the possibility of two of them being rookies, it should be quite entertaining to see them develop into a cohesive unit. I know that QB and WR positions will probably get the most ink in the media, but the OL is the key to their ability to be productive this season.”
The Browns are still heavy underdogs to capture the AFC North, at 22/1 compared to the other teams, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
