Kevin Stefanski can't make up his mind.
Browns coach has oddest timeline on when he'll reveal Week 1 QB starter originally appeared on The Sporting News
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has to make up his mind about making up his mind.
Confused yet?
Don't worry, it's not just you. It's all a bit confusing.
Stefanski has been asked constantly about who his starting quarterback will be following Shedeur Sanders' great preseason performance against the Panthers. And the Cleveland head coach hasn't wanted to give anything away.
His latest comments to reporters on Monday were reported like this by Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot:
"Kevin Stefanski said he’s thinking about when to name his Week 1 starter, and will decide after this Philly trip when to announce it."

So he's not only thinking about who his Week 1 starter will be. He's thinking about when to do it, and when to announce it.
Sounds complicated.
It kind of is, too.
The Browns have 40-year old Joe Flacco, the presumed favorite for the gig. There's a somewhat veteran Kenny Pickett, who actually has a winning record as an NFL starting quarterback.
Then there's fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was chosen 50 picks before Sanders was in April's draft.

The Browns don't necessarily have a team that can win a lot of games this season, which also complicates the calculus on playing veterans versus rookies.
Regardless, Stefanski will have to make the call. And then he'll have to tell his team. And then he'll have to tell the rest of us.
Apparently, all those decisions are weighing on his mind right now. Better him than us, because this one ain't easy.
