Zac Jackson: Shedeur Won't Start Week 1, But He'll Start the Most Games

Zac Jackson of The Athletic joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to break down Todd Monken's confusing QB messaging, calling the whole situation "madness" but predicting Deshaun Watson starts the opener since he needs preseason reps after two years away. Jackson pushes back on trade speculation, clarifies Dillon Gabriel was an organizational pick (not Kevin Stefanski's) and remains firmly the No. 3 quarterback, and predicts multiple QBs will start games this season given the team's overall lack of depth. He also shares his gut read that Shedeur won't start Week 1 but will ultimately start the most games in 2026, and the group closes reminiscing about chaotic joint-practice moments from years past, including Troy Hill's fight with Sterling Shepard.
