Would Trading Myles Garrett Kill Todd Monken Before He Even Starts?

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Nick wrestle with the full domino effect of a Garrett trade, and the thing eating at Ken most is not the lost wins, it is the clock it would start ticking on Todd Monken before he ever gets a real chance. Ken lays out the brutal math: if this year becomes a throwaway, the rookie quarterback has to be great immediately, Deshaun Watson has to play at an obscene level to justify anything, and all of it has to work out perfectly or Andrew Barry and Monken are gone too. The Brendan Sorsby conversation adds another layer of chaos, with Ken genuinely hoping Sorsby wins his injunction today because the last thing this franchise needs is another quarterback question mark on top of everything else. By the end Ken sounds exhausted but clear, saying this organization is reaching a critical mass and he no longer thinks he is wasting everyone's time talking about it.
