Todd Monken anticipates naming a starting quarterback on Monday

Monken says Saturday's comments from Deshaun Watson won't be a factor.

The Cleveland Browns are inching closer to naming a starting quarterback, with coach Todd Monken indicating the decision will be made on Monday. During a Sunday press conference via Zoom, Monken expressed that he has a few more factors to consider before making the announcement. However, he was clear that Deshaun Watson's performance and fan reaction will not influence the decision.

Monken also dismissed concerns about the Browns' fans potentially booing Watson during the Week 3 home opener, emphasizing the importance of the team's performance on the field. It's crucial to note that the situation surrounding Watson is more complex than just football matters, as there's a history that extends beyond Monken's tenure.

Despite this, Monken appears to be focusing solely on the quality of future performances and not on the past events that have shaped the current scenario.
