As the Browns continue their QB competition, there seems to be a presumed favorite as of now, and it\u2019s not\u00a0Shedeur Sanders.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0have been competing in training camp, and that\u2019s what you want from a team that didn\u2019t have much success last season. They are looking to turn things around, and the hope is that they will be better on both sides of the ball with some of the upgrades that they made during the draft and in free agency.<\/p>\n
One of the areas everyone is looking at is\u00a0quarterback, where there has been a constant battle of who will be the starter on Week 1.\u00a0Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders are all trying to do their best in practice so they can win the starting job.<\/p>\n

Sanders has been the quarterback everyone has focused on due to his hype coming into the league. Unfortunately, it looks like as of now he won\u2019t be the favorite to start Week 1. Instead, it seems as if Flacco may be the choice for the Browns,\u00a0according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic.<\/p>\n
\u201cPickett said he\u2019s working \u201924-7\u2032 to get back to full speed but acknowledged he\u2019s losing ground. Joe Flacco\u2019s two best throwing days have been the two most recent days, Friday and Saturday,\u201d Jackson wrote. \u201cNeither of the rookies ever had much of a realistic chance to win the starting job this August, and over the last week, Flacco has gone from presumed favorite to strong favorite.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat always mattered most was finding the No. 1 \u2014 even if that status was going to be in flux at some point \u2014 and letting the folks in charge evaluate and decide on the rest of the depth chart and the room. There\u2019s a lot of camp left, and there\u2019s obviously a lot still to be settled with Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Sanders.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sanders is set to start in the Browns\u2019 first preseason game, as Gabriel and Pickett are dealing with injuries. If Sanders was going to find a way to prove that he deserves to be in the conversation for the starting position, it starts in that game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
