Description: Ken explains why the quarterback drama hasn't dampened his excitement for the season, using an extended magician analogy to argue Todd Monken's scheme can only mask Deshaun Watson's limitations for so long before defenses catch on. He fields a caller pushing back on the idea that the Browns can't cut Watson given the cap hit, pointing to how the Dolphins and Cardinals moved on from expensive quarterbacks, and lays out his own math on why the Browns pushed the pain down the road instead.
