‘We’ve Got to Reconsider Some Stuff’ — Ex-NFL MVP Details the ‘Only Way’ Shedeur Sanders Could Start for Cleveland the Rest of the Season
Shedeur Sanders might finally be getting his opportunity as a starter this season to prove he belongs under center for the Cleveland Browns. However, one start might not be enough to change his standing in the quarterback room.
Former NFL MVP Cam Newton has laid out the conditions Shedeur Sanders must meet to remain the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns for the remainder of the season. In an interview on "4th&1 with Cam Newton," Newton stated that Sanders would need to exceed a certain benchmark with an outstanding performance. He suggested that Sanders would need to throw for 400 yards or more, which would prompt the Browns to reconsider their quarterback plans.
Sanders, the second-year quarterback, is set to make his first start of the season against the New Orleans Saints. He currently has the opportunity due to Deshaun Watson being in concussion protocol. On Wednesday, Sanders addressed the media, expressing his commitment to the team and the quarterback room, stating, "On my end, I just have to step up for the quarterback room, for the team, and do what I have to do."
The second-year quarterback may have had an easier path to the starting role last season after Dillon Gabriel's concussion, starting the team's final seven games. However, Sanders' performance last season was not without flaws, as the Browns finished 3-4 during his seven starts, with Sanders recording seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
