After Sanders’ strong showing, bill cowher thinks browns should name shedeur sanders QB1, says yardbarker
Cowher backs Sanders
Bill Cowher, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and CBS analyst, argued that the Browns should make Sanders their starter. He called the young quarterback the team’s future.
Cowher praised Sanders for rebounding, making decisions and extending plays. He said he liked the way Sanders performed, despite the Browns’ loss.
Monken avoids a decision
Asked whether Sanders had made a case to keep starting, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was not addressing the question at that time. The article says Monken may want to see more before making a major change at quarterback.
The Browns do not appear ready to follow Cowher’s advice, according to the article. It also notes that Deshaun Watson has a 91.2 passer rating across eight games this season, described as below average.

The performance came against the Saints, who ranked 24th in passing yards allowed at 233.3 yards per game entering Week 9. The article says Sanders must prove himself against a stronger pass defense.
