The Cleveland Browns head into their final fan-attended practice of their 2025 training camp with many of the same questions as they had heading into it. QB Shedeur Sanders has been the talk of camp and has embraced his role and pressure well. QB Joe Flacco took the first assignment of “QB1” when QB Kenny Pickett was injured, while QB Dillon Gabriel, as a third-round pick, has the most investment from the team.

The Browns offense has looked sluggish at times so far in camp. Some may have to do with the QB competition, but DE Myles Garrett and the defense also play a role. As OC Tommy Rees noted, OT Dawand Jones benefits from going against Garrett and Cleveland’s very good defense: | https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2025/8/4/24480788/browns-offense-qb-competition-struggles-shedeur-sanders-joe-flacco-kenny-pickett-dillon-gabriel

  1. Sorry Herm. The Browns are a contender. The defense alone makes them that. The offensive line makes them that. New coaches, all around. The receiving corp, is under rated. This years approach has a momentum not seen last year. (I knew they were in trouble last years from OTAs on. This team will be a contender from day one.

  2. Trade or cut Shedeur to a team that knows talent because he shouldn't be fourth on the depth chart. Shedeur doesn't get any opportunities with the first team.

  3. I just wish these analysts would just say what it is! Shadors the answer Gabriel isn't and let that be it! The NFL has done this to themselves. They knew shoulders should have went the first round and him being drafted as a fifth round but playing like a first rounder. They don't want egg on their face! And for those of you who say he was a fifth round talent, that's BULL .. he led his confidence in yards thrown and touchdowns. He had less than 13 interceptions. He was the Johnny Unitas player of the year which is give in to the best college quarterback, he also helped. Travis Hunter secure the Heisman trophy because he did play offense and do you think he threw the ball to himself? Colorado also had the most wide receivers taken in the draft. Who do you think was responsible for making that happen? So Cleveland do right by the kid or just trade him!

  4. Mind you one of the oldest teams that hasn’t seen a Super Bowl…..we all see why

  5. Sanders gets no/zero reps with the one's which suggests to me that that Cleveland, has no intention or interest in giving him a legitimate shot at starting. Here's the kicker how you know that the argument about QB talent is bogus since Picket, has been traded to 3 teams in 3 years. Cleveland isn't going to play Sanders.

  6. Its obvious that Coach Herm has no idea what's currently going on in Browns training camp — hasn't watched any film.

    He talked in generalities and couldn't even remember Shedeur's name even though he's known him since he was little.

    If y'all are looking for perspective from a legend, please choose one that's actually been paying attention.🤷🏽‍♀️

  7. Coach Herm is outstanding! Remarkably, he still has the same vivacious passion for the game as he did throughout his playing and coaching career. We can only hope there's someone on the Browns' coaching staff with an ounce of his tenacity!

  8. The guy in Texas is really good and he didn’t even start for the team? The guy in Texas is really good because of his last name? However you just skate over Shedeur? Oh my! 💔

  9. Herm is the Unk you need to talk to right before you go to prison for a year… " You only got a year now; whatever you do don't drop they soap" ……. Don't make it close! Don't fall into the trap!

  10. How are we already saying what the next QB class is going to do. They haven’t won anything in college. Arch hasn’t done anything. Stop going off of what his grandfather and uncles have done.

  11. That hater on the left side said it won't be till next year. We'll no one have proven themselves in College yet. And I will say it's a very good chance that none of those college players next years will be better than #12.

  12. That stupid to say next years college Q.B. would be better and none of them have proven shit. And they have O.L. ALL RIGHT IN PLACE FOR DECADES . JUST SAY YOU DON'T LIKE #12 . STOP BEEN A COWARD. IAM RETIRED MILITARY PROFESSIONAL NCO AND I CAN READ YOU COWARD AND HOW YOU THINK.

  13. Jayden daniels sat the whole season, just to come on like a storm!
    Shaduer is a gamer, I can't wait until this season starts
    I hate the Browns for how they playing shaduer,

  14. Shedeur is the best QB to score points with our offence Won't be rooting for them if they trade or don't do Shedeur right
    , Shedeur is the best QB we have, and if Kevin messes that up I'm done with the browns

  15. How can you be the best QB on the team when you can't articulate the plays in the huddle. He is still learning the NFL jargon that he didn't need to know in college. This is a steep learning curve for someone who needs to call the alignments for the offensive line, wide receivers, and running backs. He needs to know exactly what each is supposed to do. Not only that, Shedeur has to be able to change the play at the line of scrimmage if what he sees will not work with the play that is called in from the sidelines. Most of you Shedeur lovers are overlooking this extremely important fact. Hs accuracy is phenomenal but you got to know the plays

  16. Can't stand Cleveland but ya gotta watch when Herm Edwards is on the show. NEVER… NEVER any bullshit outta this guy. He's MUCH WATCH!!!

  17. Sanders is better than a lot of Quarterbacks period but Cleveland needs more than a great Quarterback i believe they should give him a little time Mid season sounds about right,let the veterans start the season let Sanders grow and next year surround him with the offensive line, just my opinion.

  18. Manning is good because of who his uncles are after playing 2 games last season 😂😂😂
    Sheduer being humbled for who his Father is but has 4,100 yards and 37 Tds last season
