The Browns open their season on Sunday against the Bengals with Joe Flacco under center, but one former NFL player doesn’t think he’ll be there for long. <\/p>\n
Flacco won the team’s quarterback competition in training camp, beating out rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, and veteran Kenny Pickett, who has since been traded away. The 40-year-old will get first crack at the position, but there’s no guarantee he finishes the season as the team’s starter. <\/p>\n
This week on The Pivot podcast<\/a>, co-host Channing Crowder made a bold prediction about the Browns’ quarterback situation and the future there. <\/p>\n “Joe Flacco is 716 years old. Shedeur Sanders is about to be the starting quarterback of the Cleveland Browns here coming up in a month or two,” Crowder said. <\/p>\n \u201cJoe Flacco is 716 years old, Shedeur will be the starting quarterback of the Browns soon.\u201d @OfficialCrowder<\/a> <\/p>\n Football is BACK \u2014 and so are the hot takes, high stakes, and headline drama, but not just on the field but with everything.
