00:00
DRS some interesting movement and I look forward to your reaction on it Joe Flacco has been the
00:06
favorite the veteran the 40 year old for Cleveland who of course started the tail end of the season
00:11
in 2023 leading the Browns to 11 wins and a playoff spot two seasons ago he is back under
00:19
the command of Kevin Stefanski and he is the short favorite but it was plus 116 yesterday
00:26
it's minus 102 on this Wednesday morning as minicamp now underway in the land Kenny Pickett
00:34
who was acquired this offseason via trade second best number at two to one and rather hefty prices
00:41
on both Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel Sanders has actually moved back he was plus 310 yesterday
00:47
afternoon Gabriel was plus 1060 both the rooks at a plus 680 price that is what the odds say
00:55
DRS about the Browns QB battle what do you say who should be the starter for Cleveland come week
01:02
number one I love this too because first day of OTAs everybody's paying attention to the depth chart
01:08
and everybody's paying attention to which snaps these guys are taking here so the fact that
01:12
Shador Sanders doesn't get a lot of snaps he's not playing here look that's day number one there are
01:17
no pads things are going to figure themselves out over the next month and a half until we get up to
01:21
game number one we understand that but if I look at the odds here for me just understanding what's
01:26
the most healthy point for your franchise it's not starting an aging quarterback day number one
01:32
on the roster now you might say let's just say Kenny Pickett wasn't on the roster we're going to bring in
01:37
Joe Flacco we're going to draft a couple quarterbacks who are young if we feel they're not ready to play
01:42
we don't want to hurt their career by putting them out there too soon because then it might damage some
01:47
goods which means might be leading them into some bad tendencies they might not have when they're
01:51
actually ready to take the helm as a starting quarterback but the fact that you went out and
01:54
got Kenny Pickett we're not saying Kenny Pickett is a great quarterback but Kenny Pickett was a high
01:59
draft pick Kenny Pickett is much younger Kenny Pickett has been in big situations like with the
02:03
Philadelphia Eagles playing a couple games there and just being in that organization and then with
02:06
the Pittsburgh Steelers trying to make the playoffs he does have a pedigree of playing games in the NFL
02:11
and then you have Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel so Joe Flacco being the favorite at minus 102
02:16
it's like me saying like what are we doing in Cleveland like your offensive line is average
02:21
at best we know Flacco can't move at all Dave and the joke who's a good tight end you draft fan and
02:26
junior Jerry Judy starting to come into his own as a younger wide receiver into his prime we know you
02:30
got Deontay Johnson but also Quinchan Judkins in the backfield isn't this the perfect time to let a
02:34
younger quarterback sort of mesh with these guys and grow with these players here as opposed to having
02:39
Joe Flacco who you know isn't your franchise guy I just want to say like look I understand if Kenny Pickett
02:45
can't play why did you get him there but also if the two young quarterbacks aren't ready yes you're
02:49
going to start Joe Flacco but he can't be the favorite he should be your emergency option like
02:53
Joe Flacco because you get the least amount of snaps in OTAs and training camp because you know what he
02:58
can do let the other kids eat to see what they can do Flacco starts game number one that's just a
03:03
travesty by the Browns
