The Cleveland Browns’ last preseason game shows that Shedeur Sanders is causing too much turmoil even as the fourth quarterback. The team should take action.

Only Kevin Stefanski and his coaching staff at the Cleveland Browns know whether the allegations are true. Did he deliberately rob Shedeur Sanders of his big chance in the NFL?

The fact is: in the final quarter of the preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams, he took Sanders out of the game and sent Tyler Huntley onto the field instead. Huntley at least got the Browns within field goal range, allowing them to win the game 19-17.

Huntley is history nonetheless. The Browns have parted ways with him. And Sanders? His future is still unclear.

With (temporary) starting quarterback Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Sanders, they have four quarterbacks on the roster – plus the injured Deshaun Watson.

Even though it has not been officially ruled out that they will start the season with four quarterbacks, this scenario would be very surprising. Four passers is actually one too many.

Sanders showed great potential in the first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, but was unable to confirm this afterwards.

He played decently without really shining. That’s not enough for a quarterback who causes such a media frenzy. No one wants to have a second or third quarterback on the roster who is more in the public eye than the starters.

Throughout the season, there would hardly be a press conference where questions about Sanders weren’t asked, whether he was playing or not.

It’s quite possible that Stefanski had this in mind when he took Sanders out of the game.

If he had finished the preseason with a mega drive, a cut would have been more difficult to explain. Now Sanders looks back on a very mixed game in which he completed three of six passes for just 14 yards.

No one wants a backup QB who shows off

Instead of making highlights on the field, he preferred to show off.

The best example: during his preseason debut, he was accompanied into the stadium by a person carrying a speaker playing Sanders’ music. Who wants a backup quarterback who keeps turning out to be a showboater?

Added to that were the other side issues: Sanders drove too fast and got into a fight with a reporter.

Turmoil would be inevitable in the future if Sanders remained on the roster. And that in Cleveland, where the Deshaun Watson situation alone has caused more scandals than sporting highlights.

It’s probably better to have Dillon Gabriel in the wings, who was picked two rounds before Sanders as a third-round pick and still remains a footnote in the media.
