Are the Browns a QB Away From Contending?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Ken and Anthony react to CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson saying the Browns would be a 10-11 win playoff team with CJ Stroud at quarterback, and to Lewis Riddick's take that Andrew Berry has built a roster that just needs competent QB play. They debate what "a QB away" really means, using Stroud's dramatic regression last season as a cautionary example and questioning whether the Browns' offensive line and other roster question marks (Spencer Fano, Tevin Jenkins, Zion Johnson, Titus Howard) would hold up even with a good quarterback. Ken pushes back on treating a single good QB season as proof of contention, comparing it to the Rams' talented-but-4-12 2013 team, while Anthony revisits their offseason disagreement over pursuing veteran QB help like Kyler Murray. They open the phone lines to ask listeners whether they buy the "QB away" theory or think the roster still has more question marks to answer
