Browns QB battle is real. Todd Monken calls debate 'really silly' | Exclusive
New Browns coach Todd Monken says some people think he has a "hidden agenda" in delaying naming Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson the team's starting QB.
Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken has stated that the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition remains real and competitive, despite the media's perception that a decision has been made. Both Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson have shown flashes of brilliance during the preseason practices, but neither has clearly outperformed the other.
The Browns are in a rebuilding phase following the loss of defensive end Myles Garrett, and Monken believes the team would benefit from seeing Sanders develop into a potential long-term starter. Watson, on the other hand, comes with a hefty $230 million contract and off-the-field concerns that may make him a less attractive option for the franchise.
Ultimately, Monken is confident in his ability to make the right decision, but acknowledges that preseason games alone won't provide the definitive answer.
