Todd Monken and the Cleveland Browns are living in an alternate reality.In the real world, NFL fans across the globe already know that the Browns aren’t winning the Super Bowl in 2026.Todd Monken is ignoring reality with the BrownsGettyCleveland fans are also fully aware that Deshaun Watson should be done in the city — and that’s why the $230 million quarterback keeps getting mercilessly booed. But in Monken’s world, the rookie head coach is conducting the most important quarterback competition in NFL history, and hundreds of millions of fans are anxiously waiting on him to either pick Shedeur Sanders or Watson.“I still have a few things to weigh out,” Monken said. “I’m not going to get into that.

So if it is my spot and (Monken) does make me the starter, maybe it’s 17 away games, then. I don’t know.”The fact that Cleveland’s potential Week 1 starting QB is already talking about playing ’17 away games’ is both absurd and comical.By picking Watson, Monken will immediately alienate the diehard Browns fanbase the 60-year-old head coach is supposed to be connecting with.The Browns must pick between two bad quarterbacksgettyWatson, right, could be done in Cleveland after this seasonGettyBy picking Sanders, Monken will elevate a fifth-round pick who was statistically the worst QB in the NFL last season — and recently was forced to apologize to Browns reporters for his public frustration.“Trotting out Watson is nothing more than an owner saving face,” one fan tweeted.“At this point, bench the lot of them,” a second fan posted.“Poor coach,” a third fan wrote. “The realization that this season is going to look bad and he really can’t do a thing about it, (because) of the QBs he has, must be tearing him up inside.”Watson represents the worst trade in NFL history, and the Browns should have fired Andrew Berry as general manager last year when Kevin Stefanski was axed as head coach.Sanders has athletic potential, but he wouldn’t currently start for any of the NFL’s other 31 teams.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?Yet Monken has dragged out this decision for months — after initially teasing it would be made before training camp — and the Browns are on the verge of back-to-back road games vs the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to start the 2026 season.Monken can pick whoever he wants as Cleveland’s QB.It won’t matter.The Browns’ season is already over and the only person who apparently doesn’t know that is a rookie head coach still deciding between Watson and Sanders.
