Deshaun Watson could lose Browns job to Shedeur Sanders by week 4, analyst predicts
Watson won the Browns' QB job, yet one analyst is already circling the date he loses it. Two road games could hand everything to Shedeur Sanders.
Cleveland Browns quarterback contender Deshaun Watson could be replaced by rookie Shedeur Sanders by the fourth week of the season, according to CBS Sports analyst Carter Bahns. The prediction hinges on two early road games against Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, which could put pressure on Watson before the team plays at home. Watson's experience might give the roster a better chance at winning, but a loss in those games could further fuel the pressure.
Sanders, who would be making his first career start in a high-pressure situation against a division rival, faces a steep learning curve. If Watson struggles during the Browns' first two road games, he may find himself without a job by Week 3. However, if the team holds off on Sanders' debut and allows Watson to play at home first, there could still be time for both players to prove themselves.
