00:00Is a $250 million overpriced quarterback going to start for the Browns?
00:06Who is the Browns' starting quarterback?
00:08And the reason we don't know is Todd Bunkin was asked,
00:12who's going to play in the preseason game?
00:15Forget about naming a starter for a year.
00:16Who's your starter for the first preseason game?
00:20And the answer was, don't know.
00:23But whoever it is, they're going to play the first half.
00:26So at least we're going to get a half from whoever they start.
00:29The problem is, is it Deshaun Watson?
00:33Is it Shador Singh?
00:34Does it even matter at this point?
00:37Or is Deshaun Watson just a guy, you've paid him all of this money.
00:41Come hell or high water.
00:42You're going to get some money's worth out of it at some point here.
00:46I think Deshaun Watson is going to be starting week one.
00:49I've said this for a couple months at this point.
00:52And I think it's because they just need to justify it to themselves
00:54as the Browns front office is like, hey, we traded for him.
00:57We gave up those picks.
00:58We paid him.
00:59We might as well start, right?
01:01Like we might as well.
01:02We have to.
01:02We have to at least do it just for some self-validation
01:06that they need to have him out there.
01:08I don't know if he'll be out there for long.
01:10Sanders is going to be there.
01:10Dylan Gabriel has starting experience.
01:12They drafted Taylor Green this past draft.
01:15They have four quarterbacks that they're going to be rolling out
01:18throughout the preseason.
01:19Again, I think it's going to be Deshaun Watson.
01:21I don't think Deshaun Watson's good,
01:23but I do think he will be starting week one barring an injury.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Let's hope so.
01:30Because otherwise, that will go down as, I don't know,
01:33single-handedly the worst contract ever in the history of it.
01:36It's got to be up there, Tom, right?
01:38I mean, Jamarcus Russell, first pick aside, and that was terrible.
01:43But this is what they gave up and paid for this guy is just at some point
01:49you just come – he's got to – you got to roll him out there
01:52and he's got to play.
01:53And not just one game.
01:54Like he's got to play a full season, no?
01:58I think they have to do that.
02:00Or the ownership, not the front office.
02:03Whoever signed off on the Watson trade and extension,
02:06they need to come out and just be like, hand up.
02:08Like, that was on me.
02:09We messed up.
02:10And you have to come out because you can't drag the fan base along,
02:13which has been a tortured fan base for decades at this point,
02:16especially at the quarterback.
02:17Yeah.
02:18But you can't drag them along and be like, oh, we'll figure it out.
02:22We'll draft another guy.
02:23We'll tank this year.
02:24We'll draft one of these top quarterbacks, you know, next April.
02:26So you just come out like, we messed up.
02:28And we set the franchise back, and I take responsibility.
02:31Like, someone has to come out and say that.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Yeah.
02:34And they better do it.
02:36I think it's going to be a rough year for Browns fans once again.
02:39It's always a rough year, it feels like.
02:42But usually this time of year, Tom, is great hope for, you know,
02:47franchises that usually aren't that good, right?
02:50So as Jet fans, we all understand that, yeah, this is the best time of year,
02:55right?
02:55Because the sky's the limit.
02:57It's good.
02:57And then week one or week two will set in, and then we'll be like,
03:01Gino Smith's our quarterback, huh?
03:03Yeah.
03:03So we're already moving on to the draft after week two here in the NFL season.
03:08It feels like the Browns are going to be that way.
03:11It feels like Arizona's going to be that way.
03:15But who's going to have the worst season this year?
03:20What's the one team, Tom, as you look down the list, that we can pretty much,
03:24they'll probably win every preseason game and win fewer regular season games
03:30when it's all said and done.
03:32I think Arizona's in the running to be the worst team in the league.
03:36And I think legitimately we could be looking at a team.
03:39They also have a very tough schedule.
03:41There's real no motivation for them to win.
03:45A lot of people around, you know, NFL, Twitter, if you want to call it,
03:49they are not high on Nathaniel Hackett.
03:51They do not think he's a good offensive mind.
03:54Terrible.
03:54They have some really intriguing offensive talent.
03:57You draft Jeremiah Love.
03:58You have Trey McBride.
04:00You have Marv Harrison, who they want to get, you know,
04:02back on track to be this top player that they have.
04:04Michael Wilson was good.
04:05But it's like, ah, what are we doing with Jacoby?
04:08Do we have an offensive line?
04:10Do we have talent on defense to even get us to three wins?
04:13That I'm not sure about.
04:16Listen, don't sleep on the Miami Dolphins.
04:19They could be absolutely terrible this year.
04:24I mean, terrible.
04:26But with any luck and a little hope, it will be the Jets.
04:31So they can get the number one pick and we can put all of this behind us.
