Browns’ HC Confirms QB1 Choice: Shedeur Sanders or Dillon Gabriel?
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has confirmed that rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will continue as the team’s starter. This decision comes after Sanders’ impressive performance in his first NFL start against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Browns’ Quarterback Situation: Shedeur Sanders vs. Dillon Gabriel
Shedeur Sanders, a former star at Colorado, stepped in for fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel halfway through last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. Although Sanders faced challenges in his debut, he rebounded with a standout showing against the Raiders, leading the Browns to a 24-10 victory.
Notable Achievements by Shedeur Sanders
- First quarterback in Browns history to win his debut since 1995
- Threw for 209 yards, including one touchdown and one interception
- Successfully led the offense, impressing teammates and analysts
Despite Sanders’ strong outing, Stefanski was initially hesitant to secure him as the long-term starter. “I’m always going to take my time and do what’s best for the football team,” he stated.
Looking Ahead: Upcoming Challenges
Sanders now prepares for a challenging matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. This game will be particularly tough as the 49ers will be on a short week following their Monday Night Football game against the Carolina Panthers.
With Sanders’ recent form, he aims to cement his position as the Browns’ future quarterback while focusing on producing consistent performance against a formidable opponent.
