Kevin Stefanski’s decision on Shedeur Sanders doesn’t really matter: the Browns aren’t making the playoffs

Article arrow_drop_down

The situation the Cleveland Browns have created this offseason-with four quarterbacks competing for the starting role-has sparked controversy, endless debate, and a looming decision with seemingly no path to a happy ending.

Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders are all on the table for head coach Kevin Stefanski, who must choose the one he believes can lead the team to the promised land-a feat that would already be considered a success if it simply means reaching the playoffs.

Shedeur Sanders had no idea what was coming during awkward live moment

Rumors swirl endlessly about who will be named the starter, with fans and analysts each backing their preferred candidate. What’s clear is that the Browns lack a defined strategy. There’s no obvious vision-whether the team wants to prioritize the running game and supplement it with the pass, or instead go with a more mobile quarterback who can improvise when plays break down.

Everything feels chaotic, and while fans-tired of the same old story-hope for control and competence, the coaching staff hasn’t yet proven they know what they’re doing.

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson, for instance, believes Kenny Pickett will get the nod, with Joe Flacco serving as a backup.

I think they are going to roll with Kenny for right now. – Then Joe will come in. – I think they are going to stick with him through the preseason.

That prediction may hold for the preseason, but a change could come once the regular season begins. Although Flacco led the team to the playoffs in 2023, a repeat performance in 2025 feels unlikely.

On ESPN’s Get Up, the show’s NFL analysts made a harsh-yet possibly accurate-statement about Cleveland’s outlook. The discussion centered on teams that saw instant success after turning to rookie quarterbacks: Brock Purdy in 2022, C.J. Stroud in 2023, and Jayden Daniels last year with the Washington Redskins. But when Harry Douglas was asked if something similar could happen in Cleveland, he didn’t hesitate:

You have the Cleveland Browns. Whether it’s whatever quarterback that they drafted or whatever quarterback that they have, they’re not making the playoffs either.

A grim forecast for 2025

Analysts, experts, and oddsmakers alike aren’t optimistic about the Browns’ chances. Most project them with few-or no-real hopes of making the postseason.

In fact, some believe the Browns should lose as many games as possible to secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft. But if that’s the case, it begs the question: what was the point of this entire four-quarterback circus?

Cleveland fans certainly hope that won’t be the outcome. And so do the quarterbacks themselves, whose careers-some nearing the end, others just beginning-could be seriously affected depending on how this season unfolds.

Only time will tell whether this team has what it takes to turn things around or if, once again, it all goes straight into the trash.

Jablonec desetkrát pod Peltou. Tři trofeje, gól od titulu, éra galacticos i hanebný zápas

Sklobižu slaví postupV roce 1991 se bývalý gólman Jablonce Miroslav Pelta ve 26 letech stal předsedou představenstva klubu. Třetiligový klub tehdy začal usilovat o nejvyšší soutěž. Postup do prvního ročníku samostatné české ligy LIAZU v roce 1993 ještě nevyšel, prohrál v baráži. „Z prohry neděláme pohromu. Zájem o to, aby v Jablonci pokračoval fotbal na profesionální úrovni, je velký,“ prohlásil v červnu 1993 Miroslav Pelta. V následující sezoně už si klub zajistil postup tři kola před koncem, když v květnu 1994 vyhrál 1:0 v Třinci, tým pod tehdejším názvem TJ Sklobižu Jablonec mezi elitu dovedl Josef Pešice. „S jeho prací jsme spokojeni a nejlepší vizitkou je, že za jeho působení od září 1993 mužstvo ani jednou neprohrálo. Od 1. července ponese náš klub nový název FK Jablonec,“ řekl Pelta, který mimo jiné v letech 1994-1997 působil u reprezentace jako vedoucí mužstva.Ligová premiéraPrvní zápas mezi elitou odehrál Jablonec před 6150 diváky (mimochodem šlo o největší návštěvu v prvním kole) 7. srpna 1994, kdy Jablonec doma prohrál […]

NFL Week 6 anytime touchdown bets

From hit rates and usage trends to AI-powered matchup insights, it’s everything you need to make smarter, faster and more confident picks. RB Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers The odds may be short on Josh Jacobs to score, but it’s hard to draw up a better setup. The Packers are 14.5-point favorites, indicating they should be leading early and often, creating plenty of scoring opportunities. Jacobs also draws a favorable matchup against a Bengals defense that ranks in the bottom […]
