Cleveland Browns' QB Dilemma Impacts Shedeur Sanders' Start Prospects

The Cleveland Browns currently face challenges with their quarterback situation, having shifted from veteran Joe Flacco to rookie Dillon Gabriel, a third-round pick who holds the starting role despite mixed performances and a 1-5 team record. Shedeur Sanders, another rookie and former high draft prospect, remains the backup but faces a limited chance to start due to Gabriel's status and potential incoming prospects like Dante Moore, projected as a top pick for the Browns in the next draft. NFL figures like Donovan McNabb and J.J. Watt support Gabriel holding the starting job, emphasizing his solid college performance and the organization's commitment to him, while cautioning that Sanders should continue developing in a backup role. Meanwhile, there is fan interest and speculation about Sanders possibly joining the Las Vegas Raiders, where quarterback Geno Smith struggles, thus opening an opportunity for Sanders to become their future starter. Additionally, Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins has been a bright spot despite recent struggles, potentially becoming a key ally for Sanders if he eventually starts. Overall, Sanders' path to meaningful playing time in Cleveland appears uncertain, with trade rumors and the team's quarterback draft plans suggesting he may need to look elsewhere to secure a starting position.
