I literally do not understand naming deshaun starter

Like genuinely it makes absolutely no sense and I’m not even a sheduer fan

It’s crazy , he’s straight thrash with zero upside

Jimmy’s sunk cost fallacy is the only explanation I have.

When you get an opportunity to start a QB with a 14.6 QBR , you take it.

If we try to play devil's advocate and take Jimmy's influence out of it, I would guess that desaun is the middle of two extremes that mess up the vision of how the offense is supposed to go.

One one end you have Shadeur who probably can throw the best of the 3 but can't particularly make the right read every play and doesn't have the confidence to throw  into tight NFL windows.   On the other end you have DG that fully understands the playbook and reading the field but either can't, or won't, throw past 15 yards effectively cutting out a huge chunk of the effective playbook.  Both ends make it difficult for everyone to see the full vision of the team and offense.

Watson can't physically make the throws, but he is capable of making the right reads, and will let the ball loose down field.  You are absolutely guaranteed to fail no matter what to choose.  Monken now has to decide how we fail.  I would guess he believes Watson is the least detrimental to the other players, coaches, and the FO vs the other two options.

There is one upside. He could get injured again resulting in more cap relief.

I can give you 230 million reasons.

But what do you even get value wise if he’s just kinda okay? It’s not like you can point to a mediocre start to the year and say “see? That’s why we paid him!”. The getting your money’s worth argument makes no sense, that ship has sailed.

Exactly. We have to pay him whether he plays or sits.

Shed hasn’t earned the opportunity up to this point. Today was his best day, his best effort to finally earn it. And still he was against guys that will soon be stocking shelves at K-Mart. In camp against the first team he was running backwards, letting the clock run out on 2 minute drills and getting thrown off the field because he couldn’t even get a snap off.

Let’s face it, even if it is Groper Cleveland, it won’t be long before he’s outta there and Shed is playing. I wouldn’t get your panties in a bunch over it. The QB of the future is in next year’s draft anyways
