Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima talk quarterback evaluation with ESPN analyst Herm Edwards, who explains he trusts his eyes over stats and leadership qualities over completion numbers, and admits Deshaun Watson's return after over 600 days away actually impressed him. Edwards also praises Jared Verse's early leadership since the Myles Garrett trade and breaks down why a 60 year old first time head coach like Todd Monken brings a calming, experienced presence a team like this badly needs. He even leaves the door open that the quarterback competition might not truly get settled until Week 4 of the regular season.
