The Cleveland Browns are in the midst of having a terrible season and have not seen rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders on the field this season, despite having miserable quarterback play this season. With coach Kevin Stefanski expected to be on the hot seat this season, there are some people questioning his decision-making under center. Let’s take a deeper dive into the comments and what it means for the team.
Super Bowl Champ Wants to See Shedeur Sanders Play

While on a recent episode of ‘Speakeasy‘, former Super Bowl champion James Jones made it clear that without Kevin Stefanski making a switch at the quarterback position, he will be fired.
“Put Shedeur Sanders out there. You keep on putting Dillon Gabriel out there and the offense does the same exact thing every single week. Nothing changes, he has one good quarter a week and he has two good throws a game. … If Shedeur goes out there, and he balls out and he plays lights out, you might not get fired in a couple of weeks. If you keep on throwing Dillon Gabriel out there, you’re going to get fired.”
The Browns have been one of the worst offensive teams in the National Football League as they are 29th in passing yards per game (168.1), 26th in rushing yards per game (97.1), and 29th in scoring (16.2). They have lost five of their previous six games and are on a two-game losing streak.
We have not seen Shedeur Sanders get any in-game action since the preseason and he has been firmly placed as the backup quarterback since the Browns traded away Joe Flacco. Should Kevin Stefanski make the switch to Sanders going forward?
