Week 2 Result: Lost vs. Baltimore 41-17
Is it time for a quarterback change in Cleveland yet again? It sure feels like it. After an 0-2 start, the organization has to ask itself what a 40-year-old Joe Flacco brings to the table if the team continues to lose. The Browns are now 3-18 since the calendar flipped to January in 2024.
Flacco left for a season, of course. But he returned with the same expectations he left, as a playoff team and still capable of playing at the same level despite his age. The path picked by Cleveland wasn’t prudent, and a slow start says a lot about the approach.
Instead, the Browns do have two talented rookies they can insert into the lineup and see what comes of it. If the team falters, it’ll be better positioned to take a quarterback prospect in the 2026 NFL draft. Or, possibly, Dillon Gabriel/Shedeur Sanders pans out and finally elevates the quarterback-starved franchise. – Sobleski
