Ken is Rooting For Shedeur For the Wrong Reasons  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Wed Aug 12 2026
Description: Ken Carman openly admits he's straddling the fence on the Browns' quarterback competition, caught between wanting long-term stability and sympathizing with keeping a likable fourth quarterback like Tyler Huntley Green around, while Anthony Lima counters that roster spots need to go to players who can actually help win games. The two dig into Chris Mueller's point that raw stats like completions and interceptions don't capture context, using Shedeur Sanders' touchdown throw to Harold Fannin and his performance in the Tennessee loss as examples of how emotion and results can distort honest evaluation. Ken concedes he was too easy on Sanders in the moment because he was celebrating in the stadium with beer in hand, and both agree Todd Monken deserves a fair shake this year since last year's QB competition was legitimately mishandled while this year's hasn't been. They close by noting Monken's first show as head coach airs tonight and teasing a Guardians segment built around the movie First Blood.
