Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken has spent the first 10 days of training camp putting the offense through its paces as he ponders what to do with an uninspiring quarterback room.
Monken has the unenviable task of choosing between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders to start the August 15 preseason game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
It is not a make-or-break decision by any means; Monken has said that he expects to give both Watson and Sanders a start in the preseason. And depending on which day of the week it is, and which quarterback fans are predisposed to prefer, either Watson has flexed his veteran presence to firmly grasp the QB1 role, or Sanders has shown enough improvement and grasp of the offense to be the obvious choice.
Thankfully, at least as it pertains to the game against the Bears, we all may know soon enough which quarterback will be in the huddle for the first offensive series of the preseason, as Monken and the staff will spend the next few days reviewing the candidates and then make the decision public (quotes via The Beacon Journal):
"That's something we'll talk about tomorrow. I think tonight, tomorrow, and then Monday, we'll start to really focus in on who's going to start, how we're going to play our guys, and where we're at a quarterback's a piece of that.
