Cleveland Browns Weigh QB Change Amid 1-3 Start, Flacco Under Scrutiny

The Cleveland Browns are facing significant challenges in the 2025 NFL season, particularly with their quarterback situation. Despite having the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, the Browns traded it to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who selected Travis Hunter, a move many fans and analysts now regret given Hunter's potential impact on both offense and defense. Joe Flacco, the Browns' current starting quarterback, is struggling with a low completion rate and a high number of interceptions, prompting calls from reporters and analysts for the Browns to start a rookie quarterback like Dillon Gabriel to spark the offense. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has been noncommittal about Flacco's future as the starter, acknowledging the offense's poor performance but not confirming any changes yet. The Browns have been blown out in multiple games and have yet to score 20 points in a game this season, despite having one of the best defenses in the league. With a 1-3 record, the team faces pressure to make changes at quarterback to improve their chances for the rest of the season and potentially turn around the franchise's fortunes.
