Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken lays out his one real argument for wanting Deshaun Watson to play well tomorrow: not to vindicate Watson himself, but because it would prove the offensive line, receiving corps, and Todd Monken's coaching are legitimately improved heading into the future. He acknowledges most former players and media members he's hearing from want Shedeur Sanders to start, and admits he'd lean that way too if the decision were purely emotional, but insists Watson's track record of costing people their jobs, legacies, and playoff chances means he'd still franchise tag or move on from him even in a best-case scenario. The segment also touches on a Duck Hunt and Mario Kart tangent, Zac Jackson's audio on Sanders' persistent lack of spiral, and the show debating whether "coming in hot" callers can meaningfully compare Browns quarterbacks to old Nintendo games.
