Deshaun's Leash Is Way Shorter Than Shedeur's This Year
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Tue Jul 21 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony break down how differently the Browns will judge each quarterback, arguing Deshaun Watson likely needs a Super Bowl-caliber run to avoid being cut loose, while Shedeur only needs a solid, winning-record season to stay in the conversation. They compare the situation to LeBron and the "circus" concern some teams reportedly have about taking on a high-profile personality, wondering if that same hesitation applies to Shedeur's film crew and other NFL teams' interest in him. Ken argues the draft slot creates a real double standard, since a first-round investment in Watson buys more patience than a fifth-round flier ever will for Shedeur. The segment ends by teeing up a phone poll asking listeners whether it might actually be better for Shedeur's long-term career if he doesn't win the starting job right away.
