About this episode

Zac Jackson discusses the future of Deshaun Watson as the Browns' starter and analyzes the quarterback situation in Cleveland.

The Athletic's Zac Jackson joins Ken and Anthony to set an over/under of 10.5 quarters on how long Deshaun Watson lasts as the Browns' starter, questioning whether anyone outside the building actually believes in him. He also breaks down Baker Mayfield's near-identical statistical output across his career despite the revisionist narratives, and previews the murky quarterback picture behind Watson, including Taylen Green's limited reps and Cleveland's likely path toward drafting a passer high next spring.
