This week in Browns talk

The shows have spent the week debating the Browns' direction under new leadership. There's optimism about the defense and some offensive weapons like receiver Harold Fannin Jr., with one analyst even naming them an AFC sleeper. But there's also skepticism, with talk focusing on the quarterback situation as the real concern, whether that's the decision-making around Dillon Gabriel or doubts about whether the QB room can win enough games.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

7 clips · 26 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Jared Verse, Harold Fannin Jr., Myles Garrett, Geno Smith, Malik Willis, Aaron Rodgers.
