[Russini] Shedeur Sanders has done everything possible to prepare for his first NFL start. People inside the Browns building say there’s been a calm about the rookie that sticks out.

  4. I hope he isn’t putting so much pressure on himself that he convinces himself that he needs to be perfect. He doesn’t. Make the easy throws, take some chances to stretch the defense, lead your offense, don’t beat yourself up. Time to prove to the FO that you can be THE guy.

  7. Well he’s right about treating it like a final exam he can’t fail. If he goes out there and plays rough it will be hard for *Kevin Stefanski* to justify keeping Dillon on the bench when he comes back healthy. Would be tough to get back on the field at that point for him with the browns this season even if a lot of us would rather just see what he has once and for all for a multiple game stretch.

  10. Let’s not kid ourselves — Shedeur is a lotto ticket and if he plays well it’s franchise changing for the Browns who desperately need a young cheap starter at QB.

  13. It’s the hope that kills you, but if I’d let it finish me off before, certainly I wouldn’t still be a Browns fan. With articles like this, how can I not be enchanted to dream of a Franchise Quarterback yet again.

  14. I watched some of the tape breakdowns on YouTube and this is going to be a test of whether or not Stefanski deserves another year and whether some of these mistakes are cleaned up. They’ve had a week. They are professionals. It’s not like they’re trying to land something on the moon.

  18. This is exactly what he needed and has been waiting for. Time to back up all the talk. Time to show up for Cleveland. 🍿😎

  22. I mean this is what the American dream is all about. Work hard and maybe one day you will get your shot. Hope he does well.

  23. I’ve rooted for every Browns QB since 99 and this will be no different. I just want to win and find a franchise QB. Don’t care who at this point.

    I will never understand how some fans care more about being right than winning.

  26. I mean frankly, this IS his chance. He performs well here and he could very well be the starter for the rest of the season. Makes perfect sense that he’s doing everything he can to prepare and I gotta give him props for that.

    That said, I usually wouldn’t go out of my way to watch the browns or raiders, but this is actually a game I’d like to see atleast some of

  27. Heard the same thing about Johnny Foosball up until the Bengals start. I hope he balls out, but the notion that this kid has been mistreated this whole time like he’s entitled to anything as a 5th round rookie is childish and absurd. How about go out there and win a game first?

  29. Hopefully they let him start the rest of the way. He’s got a much higher ceiling than Dillon does, he just has to figure out how to handle the rush better. No reason not to let him try and work thru it and see if we catch lightning in a bottle because we aren’t going to the playoffs regardless of who starts at QB.

  30. All the people that compared him to Manziel, labeled him a DEI hire, said he’s in the league because he’s a black american, and his father is Deion Sanders come here.

    This is exactly what I want from my starting quarterback. He’s not partying, he’s not relaxing, or none of that. He’s preparing to start his first career nfl game for this franchise. He’s treating every rep like it’s his last.

  32. I believe in him. I think he’ll do well, and I think the other offensive players will play inspired too, because they want him to do well.

  34. Fingers crossed he plays well enough to keep Gabriel on the bench. I’ve seen enough of him already.

    Idc if “he gives us a better chance to win.” I’d rather watch two cows f@&$ than watch a Gabriel led offense…and I’m not even into that weird $4!T.
