Shedeur Sanders arrived at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday ahead of Cleveland’s Week 11 showdown with Baltimore. The rookie quarterback is currently serving as the backup to fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel.
The sight of Sanders entering the building sparked reactions from fans on X. One fan wrote, “Can’t wait for the Dillon hate watch today!” Another added, “Today is the last day of this Dillon Gabriel experiment. Next week, my boy is gonna get to it!!!”
Some fans expressed frustration with the team’s quarterback situation. One commented, “Honestly I don’t want him to play for this team anymore. This team is trash & toxic, I’d rather him just traded and released.” Meanwhile, others sympathized with Sanders. “I feel bad for Shedeur, the Browns are never gonna let him start. I hope next season he goes to another team and balls out just like Baker (Mayfield),” one fan said.
The fanbase’s sentiments are indicative of larger questions surrounding Cleveland’s quarterback direction. Regardless of the starter, one fan bluntly stated, “Regardless of QB, Browns suck.” Yet another expressed optimism, tweeting, “Let’s get it then.”
### Coaching Staff Faces Rising Pressure on Quarterback Decision
Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski recently shifted offensive responsibilities to coordinator Tommy Rees, aiming to reset a scheme that has struggled with consistency. There is growing discussion across local media about whether the team should prioritize long-term development or attempt to spark immediate improvement by turning to Shedeur Sanders.
Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com wrote on Sunday, “I do believe there will come a point when Sanders will start some games for the Browns this season, but I think they’d like to see fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel for a few more weeks now that offensive coordinator Tommy Rees has taken over play calling.”
### Baltimore’s Defensive Resurgence Adds Complexity
Baltimore’s defensive resurgence adds another layer to the quarterback debate. According to Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr, their preparation included work for both quarterbacks. Orr highlighted that Sanders could be used at any point during the game.
The former Colorado Buffaloes star continues to wait on the sideline while Dillon Gabriel holds the starting job. Coach Stefanski has praised Sanders’ preparation and work ethic but has not indicated any timeline for possible playing time.
