00:00Let's now, Joe Flacco, Mark Zeno is back in Cleveland where he played to end out 2023,

00:05started the final five games, led Cleveland to 11 wins in a playoff spot.

00:10The veteran 40-year-old signal caller back with Cleveland and is the favorite

00:15in a jumbled quarterback room to be that starter for the Browns week number one.

00:20Some shifting odds in these prices.

00:22Flacco no longer a minus money favorite ever so slightly, but plus 110.

00:27Kenny Pickett, 2-1.

00:30Shador Sanders now has the longest price of the four by himself at 7-1.

00:35Dylan Gabriel in front at plus 500.

00:39Zeno, it is a very jumbled quarterback room in Cleveland.

00:43ESPN Cleveland tracking the stats throughout team activities through voluntary OTAs and minicamp.

00:51When all is said and done, come week number one,

00:54who should Kevin Stefanski start as the Browns QB?

00:59Well, who should he start and who will they start are two different things, right?

01:03But, I mean, he should start one of the two rookies.

01:07Throw him in there, throw him to the Wolves and see what you got.

01:09That's the reality of it.

01:11And if Shador Sanders is the most talented and most competent, it should be him.

01:15Joe Flacco is going to get the starting job.

01:17That's really what this boils down to.

01:19There's not a legitimate world where Kenny Pickett actually should ever see the field.

01:21Like, I'm not sure what he's even there for at this point in time.

01:25Like, I got to be – I'm not really sure the way this whole thing went down,

01:29how he figured into it.

01:30Look, Kenny Pickett is not a starting quarterback in the NFL, period.

01:34And if you got two rookies that you drafted, the hell you have him around for.

01:37Because if Flacco falters, you should give it to the rookie.

01:41You know what Kenny Pickett is and isn't.

01:43I know what he is.

01:44He's emasquerading as an NFL quarterback.

01:46I know what he's not, a starter in this league.

01:47So, there's no reason he should ever see the field, in my opinion.

01:51But, again, Joe Flacco is going to start the season.

01:54And until he turns into a pick-six machine, which he eventually will.

01:58And don't get me wrong, I love Joe Flacco.

01:59I've covered him closely.

02:00I was friends with him for years in Baltimore.

02:02He's a great man.

02:03He's a good father.

02:04But he's not an NFL – he's not a guy I want to trust with my team anymore.

02:08He throws the ball to the other team way too often.

02:10There's a lot of upside to him, what he can do, as we've seen.

02:12But there's a lot of – it's very Jameis Winston feel, minus all the goofiness in the media and everything else.

02:18It's kind of what it is.
