Jon Gruden Offers Quarterback Advice to Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns have faced criticism for their decision to start quarterback Deshaun Watson, who has struggled in recent years and performed poorly in the preseason. In Week 1, the team's performance did not improve, prompting former NFL head coach Jon Gruden to offer advice to offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

During an appearance on a sports show, Gruden recommended that Monken consider starting Shedeur Sanders while also incorporating Taylen Green into specific plays to leverage his athleticism. Gruden believes that a change is necessary for the team, as Watson's performance has not justified his starting position, especially given his substantial contract.

Gruden highlighted the potential of both Sanders and Green, noting that while Sanders is still developing, he has shown significant improvement. The decision to continue with Watson appears to be influenced by financial commitments rather than performance, leaving Monken with a challenging situation as he navigates team dynamics and ownership pressures.
