About this episode

Chris Simms and Connor discuss the Browns' decision to start Deshaun Watson and analyze various young quarterbacks from Preseason Week 2.

The Browns have named their starting QB…and Chris & Connor don’t really agree with it. Then Chris shows the mistake J.J. McCarthy keeps making. Plus, we look at Ty Simpson, Drew Allar, and some other young backups who flashed in Preseason Week 2. But first, Chris takes aim at certain drivers.
