The Browns have been in the news this season for their indecision at the quarterback position after Deshaun Watson’s injury.
They started rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who offers mobility but isn’t yet a reliable NFL passer, and won’t start PJ Walker after the team announced his cut yesterday.
Fortunately, the Browns have four quarterbacks on the team who have experience creating and winning big plays.

The combination of Flacco’s arm and Cooper’s speed should allow Cleveland to terrorize Jacksonville through the air, preventing defenses from crowding the box against the run game.
