In a league known as a “head coach, offensive play caller, and quarterback” driven one, the Cleveland Browns have question marks at the most important spots. That doesn’t mean that HC Todd Monken, who is also the offensive play caller, and whoever starts at quarterback between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders won’t be good in their roles, just that no one can be certain about that.
There is a reason we would encourage Monken to call a lot of run plays, which could help RB Quinshon Judkins enter the Top 100 running back discussion by the time he retires. There is a lot more certainty associated with Judkins than anything else on Cleveland’s offense.
