When it comes to finding a franchise quarterback, the Cleveland Browns have become the punchline of the NFL. And honestly, who can blame the critics? The team has cycled through three, four, even five starting quarterbacks in a single season—a revolving door that would make any fan's head spin.
But here's the thing nobody wants to admit: the Browns aren't alone in their quarterback misery. In fact, they've got plenty of company at the bottom of the barrel.
Our own Jared Mueller touched on this in his Friday piece, breaking down which teams the Browns will likely be battling for a top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Spoiler alert: it's a who's who of organizations that are just as lost when it comes to evaluating the game's most important position. There's no secret formula for finding a QB, and anyone claiming certain teams have it figured out is probably fooling themselves.
Still, knowing you're not the only one struggling doesn't make the view from the quarterback room any prettier. Right now, Deshaun Watson stands as the Browns' best option—a sobering reality when you consider it's been six years and two major injuries since his last good season.
General manager Andrew Berry has made real improvements across the roster, but none of that matters much when you're staring at arguably the worst quarterback group in the league. And that doesn't bode well for improving on last season's five-win record.
Let that sink in before we dive into today's Saturday Dawg Chow.
