Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Mon Aug 17 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Todd Monken saying he's still not ready to name a starter, with Ken maintaining he thinks Monken has already mentally settled on Deshaun Watson even if he won't say it publicly. They dig into a strange argument from vocal Shedeur Sanders supporters that he shouldn't be relegated to a backup role at all, with Ken pushing back hard, arguing Sanders isn't entitled to anything given the Browns have arguably the league's worst QB room. Both hosts land on accepting Monken's authority to make the call based on what's best for winning, while noting the setup is about as fair a competition as Watson could realistically get given the fanbase's feelings toward him
