The Anybody But Watson Narrative is the Most Popular QB Opinion

Lima and Nick Pedone continue their reaction to Zac Jackson's take, debating whether the Browns' Denzel Ward extension undercuts a tanking strategy, with Lima arguing there's no real organizational upside to starting Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders in 2026 beyond helping Todd Monken's own track record as a first-year head coach. They revisit Watson's disastrous 2024 season as the clearest evidence he's not the answer, and preview how Monken's hands-on, demanding coaching style will contrast sharply with Kevin Stefanski's approach once camp opens. A caller, Marcus from Aurora, credits Andrew Berry for last year's under-the-radar tank job and asks how fans would react if the Browns start hot with Watson at quarterback, prompting Lima to argue Cleveland's win streak last year was fueled by Myles Garrett and Rocket Sanders rather than good quarterback play.
