Browns Game Thread Week 9 Nov.8 Browns @ Saints 1PM CBS





To me, the similarities between when Watson starts and this game are impossible to ignore. The play calling is awful. The OL is not good. Sanders played a high-end Watson type game with less time with the starters. I didn't see anything that tells me he was the problem.
Monken's offensive scheme is pretty awful. The first and goal naked boot into the defensive end was horrid. I'd rather see Sanders start for a few weeks to see if he can settle in. But Watson probably would have made a few of those 3rd down scrambles and maybe even the 4th a goal. Watson probably gives us a better chance of winning, but Sanders gives us a better chance at growth. Sanders didn't turn the ball over and that's a good sign.
 
The play calling was vanilla
I thought :poop: would be a more appropriate flavor TBH
when the O-line is that bad you simply CANNOT play pass only looks.period.
even obvious pass situations like the last play.can't do it.
we have great players. reminds me of the kitchens era of terrible
coaching/scheming with great talent = no bueno
the penalties? unacceptable. DW @4xTO per game.most sacked in NFL
sanders had better start. lets move forward.

Well the last 5 minutes were exciting but until this team can cut out the penalties and play 60 minutes of football they'll have to rely on luck. Or Szmyt

I wouldn't have these guys favored in any game this year no matter who they're up against.

I didn't see anything that tells me he's the answer..He is NOT!...
 
I think Sanders proved he can be a valuable back-up QB - at least. Will he ever be a high-end NFL QB? Yet to be decided, I'm leaning no. But we get a lot more out of letting Sanders play than we do sticking with Watson. But even if Watson starts next week (which I think he will), Sanders will have more chances. He didn't play bad for his first start of the year.

I don't even want him as a back up... he's clumsy and too much of a fan base distraction...
 
Bill Cowher endorses Shedeur as the starter the rest of the way. calls him the FUTURE. Here is the link MSN. I'm not so sure he's the future...but Watson isn't growing and learning at this point. I'd much rather develop shedder who has multiple years left on his contract. Let him learn and grow.. .even if it's into a high quality backup... it's better than moving forward with Watson who is gonzo after this season. Shedeur has more upside in my opinion. I'm not saying he's the guy...but I'd still rather roll with him the rest of the year than Watson...but Monken never listens to me.. not sure why.. LOL
 
The anti-Sanders croud pointing out open WR's here & there, meanwhile Sanders faced the heaviest blitz game by any QB this season.

Here's what I don't get.

Watson is the vet who should barely need to practice, should see all of the open WR's, and ought to be able to dial-in game after game ... if he's a true QB1.
Sanders can afford the same missteps at this point in his career, as he's young and developing.

If Watson has like a 1% chance to be 2027's QB1, then Sanders is maybe around 10%.
90% chance we draft one.

Watson's first 8 games has done nothing to change the fact that we're drafting a QB next year.
Sanders, we don't know.

The best 3 QB games for the Browns in the last 2 years has been Sanders with back-up lineman in 2025, Watson's Titans game this year, and then yesterday's Sanders game. Sanders has 2 of the 3 best games, and he's still yet to practice with a healthy set of 1's.
