Ex NFL Receiver Reveals Which Browns Rookie QB is Better

Training camp is right around the corner, and then comes the preseason.

The quarterback situation is a clear priority for the Cleveland Browns, with two veterans and a pair of rookie draft picks on the roster.

Much speculation has been made about which one of the four will start the season, and if both rookies survive roster cuts.

Former NFL wideout and Cleveland native, Cecil Shorts III, thinks he knows which rookie will stand out over the other, as he spoke on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.

"To me, talent-wise like you mentioned, Shedeur is way better than Dillon," Shorts said. "Dillon wasn't on anybody's list. Let's call a spade of spade. Nobody was thinking about Dillon Gabriel being drafted in the first three rounds. Nobody. Wasn't on anybody's list. Nobody was talking about him on TV at all. Come on, let's be real here. Let them battle it out, choose one and ride with them and see what they can do. And I'm not big on switching quarterbacks...I hate that.

"Let the rookie battle all 17 games; if he's healthy, battle all 17 games. Let him develop. Let him get better."

Shorts went so far as to say that he thinks not only should Sanders start the season, but he should remain the starter for all 17 games.

That's an odd take, considering we haven't seen either rookie quarterback on the field yet.

The more likely outcome is that Joe Flacco gets the nod to start the season, and one of the remaining three is named his backup.

It's also possible that one of the rookies isn't on the roster to start the season, but was traded away before roster cuts.
