Browns' Shedeur Sanders just got a big edge over Deshaun Watson from NFL experts

The Cleveland Browns are in a predicament as they decide which quarterback will lead them in the upcoming season. The two contenders are Shedeur Sanders, a second-year NFL player, and Deshaun Watson, a veteran who has been sidelined by injuries for an extended period. The preseason proved crucial for the Browns, as they utilized it to make a definitive decision regarding their starting quarterback.

CBS Sports has recognized Shedeur Sanders as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the preseason, which is a significant achievement for him. NFL experts Garrett Podell and Zachary Pereles have cast a somewhat critical eye on Watson, acknowledging his performance but emphasizing Sanders' superiority. The experts conceded that Sanders didn't play flawlessly during the preseason, but his performance was significantly better than Watson's.

A notable example is Sanders' dominant performance during the Browns-Bills preseason game, where he completed all four of his passes on the opening drive, including a fourth-down conversion and an 8-yard touchdown pass. Sanders also had a stellar overall game, connecting with 9 of 11 passes for 74 yards, one touchdown, an interception, and one sack.

With the Bills not featuring their starters during the game, the competition will intensify once the regular season begins.
