The Cleveland Browns are ranked second at quarterback this season, but the results are the same.
Dillon Gabriel was named the starter entering Week 5 to replace Joe Flacco, who was sent to the Cincinnati Bengals. The third-round pick struggled in his four starts, completing less than 60% of his passes for 683 yards.
Gabriel’s last game came in a 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots over the weekend, and he now has the same number of starts as Flacco did when Flacco was removed from the starting lineup.

There’s another quarterback waiting in the wings in Cleveland, Shedor Sanders, who has faced a battle from falling out of the top-five overall prospects to barely becoming a fifth-round pick.
But the Browns are 2-6 with little to look forward to, prompting Cleveland radio host Ken Carman Go to scorched earth And invite Sanders, a Colorado graduate, to start.
“I’ve got four blowouts in an NFL season. It’s not even Halloween, we’ve got four blowouts in an NFL season. … It’s crazy,” Carman said on his show on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland.

“I can’t believe I’m saying that. I think there are some players that definitely care inside the locker room. It’s just, it can’t happen. Either the offense is inept, or you’re putting yourself in a bad situation. Either way, you’ve got to move on from all of that. There’s nothing I can do this season. I don’t know what’s going to happen this season.”
“You know what? Just, maybe I had a chance to have a little fun. So.” [Sanders’] The back is not closed, it doesn’t need a dorsotomy, just get it out there for the love of Christ. Just put it there, and let’s see. Give me a good effort for a week and let’s see what he can do.”
After Gabriel was named the starter, it took a few more days for head coach Kevin Stefanski to commit to Sanders as a replacement, but he got the job.
