Would Jimmy Haslam Really Overrule Todd Monken on the QB Decision?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Ken and Anthony debate whether ownership or Todd Monken truly controls the Browns' quarterback decision, with Ken drawing on the Johnny Manziel era to argue that this front office has learned from past mistakes of letting fan pressure override coaching judgment. Ken insists money isn't a factor for Jimmy Haslam and that if Monken wants Deshaun Watson, it's genuinely his call, while predicting ownership would be thrilled if Shedeur Sanders earned the job instead. The conversation shifts back to Jared Verse and the emotional reaction from Rams players, with Ken doubling down that culture and leadership matter more long-term than raw sack totals, even if it means a rough 2026. He again braces for backlash in December if the win total doesn't back up his "long game" theory on Verse's value.
