00:00This should make Shador Sanders even likelier to start week one.
00:04Right?
00:05If we are transitioning, we being the Browns,
00:08if we are transitioning, then transition.
00:12You do not need Deshaun Watson reps.
00:15They are a waste of everybody's time.
00:18Everybody's.
00:19Even if Watson looks like the better player in camp,
00:22it doesn't matter.
00:24You have told us that this isn't your year.
00:28I respect that.
00:30I agree with you.
00:31It's not your year.
00:33There is no argument whatsoever to start Deshaun Watson
00:37unless Shador gets injured.
00:39And even then, you may be better off, honestly,
00:41giving the reps to Talon Green or Dylan Gabriel.
00:46We sit here.
00:47We've talked quite a lot about starting quarterback battles.
00:51Watson is still the favorite at nearly minus 200.
00:55Deshaun Watson starting another game
00:57for the Cleveland Browns organization
01:00is unacceptable.
01:03There's no reasoning that someone could give me
01:07to where I think that's the right decision.
01:10And this Miles Garrett trade only reinforces that.
01:15It makes it, it cements it for me
01:18that now is the time for Cleveland
01:22to continue to move on in the way that they already are.
01:29So, you know, Joe, I don't know for you,
01:32but to me, this really should continue to signify
01:37the end of Watson's time with Cleveland.
01:39Yeah, absolutely, Kevin.
01:41I mean, again, they were already committed to Deshaun Watson
01:46because of what Haslam paid him, right,
01:48with the guaranteed money.
01:49They brought him back into camp,
01:51and obviously you have to see if he's NFL ready
01:54coming off the Achilles injury.
01:56But at the end of the day,
01:57expecting him to be the leader of this organization
02:01with a first-year head coach,
02:02he has dragged this organization down
02:05by not living up to expectations
02:07from the quarterback that he was
02:09when they got him from the Houston Texans.
02:11He was an all-pro,
02:12and now he looks like a high school guy.
02:14So we'll see.
02:15Again, Mankin has to go with the young players
02:19to make assessment
02:20and to recognize whether they have a quarterback
02:23that could be on the roster
02:25and be the face in 2027.
