The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback room is once again under the national microscope after CBS Sports ranked it as the worst in the NFL entering the 2026 season. The uncertainty surrounding Deshaun Watson’s return, Shedeur Sanders’ development after an up-and-down rookie year, Dillon Gabriel’s future, and rookie Taylen Green’s upside has created more questions than answers heading into Todd Monken’s first training camp. On paper, it’s easy to see why outsiders are skeptical—but does that ranking ignore the possibility of significant growth under a new coaching staff?
The bigger question is whether this conversation will look completely different by Week 1. Can Monken unlock the best version of one of his young quarterbacks, or is the QB position still the biggest obstacle keeping Cleveland from becoming a playoff contender? Is CBS right to rank the Browns last, or is this quarterback room being judged more by its past than its potential?
