No direct attack on head coach <strong>Todd Monken<\/strong>, no accusation that Cleveland had made the wrong call, and no public demand that his son should be starting.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Still, the implication was obvious as <strong>Deion Sanders<\/strong> believes the situation speaks for itself.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Shedeur forced his way into conversation<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The decision came after <strong>Shedeur Sanders<\/strong> spent the offseason pushing himself back into serious contention.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">He entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick in 2025 and began his rookie season behind <strong>Joe Flacco<\/strong> and <strong>Dillon Gabriel<\/strong> before eventually climbing the depth chart and finishing the year as Cleveland\u2019s starter.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">His rookie numbers were mixed. <strong>Sanders <\/strong>threw for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns and 10 interceptions while going 3-4 as a starter. This summer, however, his progress became harder to ignore.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Training-camp numbers included in the supplied reporting showed <strong>Sanders <\/strong>completing 228 of 327 passes with 19 touchdowns and four interceptions. <strong>Watson<\/strong>, meanwhile, went 227 of 345 with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">That difference helped fuel the belief among some fans and analysts that <strong>Sanders <\/strong>had done enough to earn the job.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__embedded\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet-lazy\" data-lang=\"es\"><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Huge contract impossible to ignore<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">The debate has inevitably circled back to <strong>Watson<\/strong>\u2019s fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Former <strong>Browns <\/strong>quarterback <strong>Robert Griffin III<\/strong> said he believes that deal explains the decision.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cThere are $230 million reasons why Deshaun Watson is the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns,\u201d <strong>Griffin <\/strong>said. \u201cWhy is he starting? $230 million reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Watson <\/strong>also enters the season with an uneasy relationship with the fan base after being booed during the preseason and later criticizing <strong>Browns <\/strong>supporters before apologizing. ESPN\u2019s <strong>Kevin Clark<\/strong> was especially critical of the decision.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">\u201cThe Browns fans have seen a lot of bad quarterback play, and even in that context, he\u2019s among the worst,\u201d <strong>Clark <\/strong>said. \u201cFor the starting job, I would have gone Shedeur first.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Deion Sanders<\/strong> may know this isn&#8217;t over. The most important point is that <strong>Watson <\/strong>winning Week 1 does not necessarily end the story.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">Cleveland\u2019s quarterback situation has changed repeatedly in recent seasons, and <strong>Shedeur Sanders<\/strong> has already shown he can move up the depth chart when opportunities appear.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">That may explain why <strong>Deion Sanders<\/strong> kept his reaction brief. He didn&#8217;t need to say Cleveland got it wrong. He only needed to remind everyone that, in his view, they&#8217;ve already seen enough to judge what happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"taboola-art-mid-script\" data-ue-is-premium=\"false\" data-ue-is-basic=\"true\" data-ue-is-mobile=\"false\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__tags-container\">\n<ul class=\"ue-c-article__tags\" aria-label=\"Etiquetado como:\">\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">College Football<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">AFC North<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Deion Sanders<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Shedeur Sanders<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Deshaun Watson<\/li>\n<li class=\"ue-c-article__tags-item\">Colorado Buffaloes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news \" aria-label=\"Art\u00edculos relacionados\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-item\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__related-news-kicker\">Cleveland Browns <\/span>NFL career over?
