The Cleveland Browns<\/a>\u2018 correspondent, Mary Kay Cabot, has responded after Shilo Sanders<\/a> made a pointed comment about her. The exchange started after Cabot publicly supported the idea of the Cleveland Browns moving forward with Deshaun Watson<\/a> as their QB1. Shilo disagreed with her take and reacted strongly, which initiated the back-and-forth. Cabot has now addressed the situation directly, sharing her thoughts on the comment and standing by what she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really do believe that I have been an inspiration for lots of women and young girls to know that you can go out there and do a good job in a man\u2019s world and take on all of that that comes with that,\u201d Cabot said, per 92.3 The Fan. \u201cAnd I know that there are so many women who have joined the football world, especially because of some of the things that I\u2019ve been able to do over the years. And I\u2019m happy about that, and I know that will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> safety had questioned Cabot\u2019s credibility following her take on the Browns\u2019 Q1 situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith my breaking news here that Deshaun Watson has taken the lead over Shedeur Sanders<\/a> in the Browns QB competition and has the inside track to win it, I think they should declare him QB1 ASAP and let the 1st team offence start to cook,\u201d Cabot wrote. \u201cThere\u2019s no time to waste.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soon after, Shilo Sanders responded, \u201cGo make a sandwich, Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t just say that; he also explained why he called out Cabot over her stance on 92.3 The Fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhenever you have your opinion, and your opinion is always something hateful to Shedeur, it makes it seem like it\u2019s something weird, like it\u2019s an agenda that you have going on,\u201d Sanders said, per The Spun. \u201cThere are plenty of women in this field that take this seriously and take reporting football seriously and actually do homework and study the game and get the statistics right and get the news right. But with you, it\u2019s so much emotion that I don\u2019t want you to make women look bad when it comes to reporting because you don\u2019t have the will to actually go and report real things that are going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the record, Cabot started out covering the Browns in 1988 and has since grown into the one-stop show for all Dawg Pound-related news. She is also the latest recipient of the Bill Nunn Memorial Award from the Pro Football Writers of America, given to a reporter for their \u201clong and distinguished contribution to pro football through coverage.\u201d Hence, one can\u2019t just ignore her credibility.<\/p>\n

Although the older Sanders brother remains unhappy with Cabot\u2019s report, the veteran Browns reporter explained her stance about Deshaun Watson by highlighting his progress throughout this ongoing offseason.<\/p>\n

Mary Kay Cabot explains why Deshaun Watson is the favorite to be the Browns\u2019 QB1<\/p>\n

While Shedeur Sanders showed glimpses of being a top quarterback in the league, he still struggled to perform consistently, leading the Browns to a 3-4 record as a starter. In these seven games, the younger Sanders recorded 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Hence, Mary Kay Cabot explained that Deshaun Watson has emerged as the favorite to be Cleveland\u2019s starting quarterback<\/a> in the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Her report revealed how his time in Houston<\/a> helped him adapt to Todd Monken\u2019s system quickly, as it shared \u201csome of the same spread and other passing concepts\u201d with the one he had in Houston and became a three-time Pro Bowler while winning multiple AFC South titles.<\/p>\n

Watson earned more snaps with the first team during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills and continued as the main quarterback with the first team, where he took most of the reps in the red zone and in the two-minute drill. However, the report also highlighted Watson\u2019s effort to familiarize himself with Todd Monken\u2019s methods through this offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s more, he\u2019s worked hard on his own to study and learn Monken\u2019s offense and is playing fast on the field,\u201d Mary Kay Cabot reported.<\/p>\n

Another aspect that worked for Watson is the Browns\u2019 young offense, comprising this year\u2019s ninth overall pick, offensive tackle Spencer Fano; the wideout duo of KC Concenpcion (24th pick) and Denzel Boston (39th pick); and the sophomore standouts like tight end Harold Fannin Jr.<\/a> and running back Quinshon Judkins<\/a>. With such an inexperienced core, someone like Watson, who has played in 73 games while recording 17,904 yards and 123 touchdowns, will bring much-needed stability to the team on offense.<\/p>\n

While one can understand Shilo Sanders\u2019 perspective as a brother for his comments about Mary Kay Cabot, these scathing remarks could further jeopardize Sheduer\u2019s career with the unnecessary attention received by the young quarterback, creating unprompted issues for the team.<\/p>\n
