How much do turnovers in practice matter in a coach’s evaluation of QB play? | Cleveland Browns



With Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders still battling for the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback job, how much should turnovers in practice actually influence Todd Monken’s evaluation? Turnovers obviously matter because decision-making, ball security and avoiding negative plays are critical traits for any quarterback, but practice interceptions don’t always tell the entire story — especially when coaches are deliberately putting QBs in difficult situations to test them. Watson has had his share of mistakes during camp, while recent practices have also shown him string together much cleaner stretches. So when Monken is ultimately deciding who gives the Browns the best chance to win, how much weight should he put on turnovers compared with accuracy, decision-making, command of the offense and what happens when the lights come on?

  1. You know what I find funny about Sanders supporters, they think Watson is such a terrible quarterback and criticize him any point they can but Sanders is not even at the same level as him that's the reality!

  2. Interceptions or like a flat tire. It's a pattern, that we all go through in life. When you catch a flat tire, speeding ticket, Etc.You're catch Em like back-to-back, multiple times before it stop but you haven't had anything happened to you in a while. It happens, when they throw interceptions and haven't thrown one in a while. They will throw multiple interceptions

  3. Only 2 QBs appear to be in a QB battle.
    One of them looks to be shaking off rust, slinging it with not a care in the world……… while the other two are conservative.

  4. Do you buffoons know that Peyton Manning had 27 interceptions in his rookie year? He also threw for 12 interceptions in his rookie practices.

  5. This QB battle was NEVER a chance for Shedeur to usurp Deshaun. It was supposed to be for Deshaun to assert himself and prove himself the better of the two. The fact that he hasn't been named a starter as of yesterday is an indictment on how atrocious he is going to look when he starts the season off.

  6. See that’s why your show is complete crap!! Only two QBs have turned the ball over a lot Deshawn and Gabriel have thrown a lot of picks. However you guys are so bias you can’t even tell the truth and keep it real.

  7. How about the fact that our defense is just really good? What would you say if we only threw three interceptions?Would you say our defense is looking pretty shaky?It doesn't look good for us?

  8. We shouldn’t care about the bad that Watson does only talk about the good. But when is SS it’s basically all bad and only focus on as much bad as we can while still propping up Watson.

  9. It’s crazy when they come to the realization that #2 numbers are better the entire conversation orbit somewhere else… lol But the fans are tripping???😂😂😂😂
