The Cleveland Browns QB competition is the story of the team’s training camp, even if it might be overblown by many fans and media. GM Andrew Berry and HC Todd Monken have made it clear that the only thing that matters is who produces the best between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, despite the latter’s age and potential development.
Sanders has been taking on some leadership and mentorship responsibility with rookie QB Taylen Green and could really benefit from adding a quick deep ball to his
arsenal, according to one analyst. Watson, on the other hand, is hoping to have a bounce-back season some six years after his last quality play.
Heading into training camp, Watson reportedly had the lead in the quarterback competition. That was reiterated by The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, live from Berea, but the long-time reporter also noted the positives seen from Sanders, something noted by team reporter Nathan Zegura this offseason as well:
While there has been noted concern about the Browns offense so far in training camp, including by Monken, who noted the team’s defense is making things tough for their counterparts, improvement from Sanders could push things to another level.
What do you think about the above report, and who do you think leads the QB competition as the 1st week of camp winds down?
