After the Browns ' preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday, many expect the quarterback competition to reach its conclusion. Albeit with a sharp curveball thrown into things following Deshaun Watson's post-game comments. Despite the ups and downs, it seems that Shedeur Sanders may have worked his way back into the starting role following his performance with the majority of the team's second- and third-team players.
For one player-turned-analyst, he has "seen enough" from Sanders and is ready to see him named the starter.
Former number one overall pick David Carr spoke on NFL Network post-game about Sanders' performance and how he thinks he should be the starter for the team in Week 1. He explained, "He showed poise of a veteran player. I think he did a great job. If I'm Monken, I've seen enough. I know who my starter is..."

— NFL (@NFL) August 22, 2026 Sanders was 9-for-11 passing with 74 yards racked up and one touchdown. He threw one interception on a pass that was deflected at the line of scrimmage.
All in all, given the supporting cast he was given, this was a great performance from Sanders and it mat have won him the job.
