Ranking The Cleveland Browns’ Quarterbacks
#5 Deshaun Watson

There are over 24 reasons why Watson shouldn't be in the NFL. None has to do with injuries or how he has played in Cleveland. Even if you try to judge him solely by his play, Watson has been one of the worst quarterbacks since 2022. Between injuries and a suspension by the NFL, Watson has played in 19 games over three seasons. In these 19 games, his numbers are way below league average, ranking bottom five in most categories.
#4 Dillon Gabriel

I liked Gabriel, but I thought the 94th pick was too rich for him. Gabriel will rarely push the ball down the field or make tight-window throws. Instead, he'll quickly get the ball to his receivers and rely on yards after the catch. He was drafted ahead of Sanders, but I think the latter is better and will show it during camp.
#3 Joe Flacco

If I had to choose one of the five Browns' QBs to play one game, I'd pick Flacco in a heartbeat. At 40 years old, though, there's little reason to pick him to start an entire season. He can come in a pinch in case something goes wrong. Not to add insult to injury, but usually something goes wrong with the Browns, so Flacco may start a couple of games. Flacco said he's there to play, not to be a mentor.
#2 Shedeur Sanders

I didn't think Sanders should be taken in the first round, but no one could've predicted what happened. Falling to the fifth round, he will have to climb a mountain if he wants to live up to the hype he had. He won't wow with his running skills or arm strength, but he is smart and accurate in short and intermediate passes. If he can make the most of his opportunities, there's a chance he can start at some point this season.
