The Shedeur Sanders era has officially begun in Cleveland, the Browns naming him the starting quarterback for their next game. Presumably, he will remain in the starting lineup as long as his play justifies it. Of course, in Cleveland, all he has to do is be better than other bad quarterbacks, so the bar is low.
It’s important to note that Browns HC Kevin Stefanski didn’t just announce that Shedeur Sanders would start the next game. He also made very clear that Dillon Gabriel, their previous starter, is out of the concussion protocol. That means, despite the opportunity for a full week of preparation, Gabriel won’t get the nod.
