Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski had a cold response about not starting Shedeur Sanders over Dillon Gabriel. He snapped over the constant criticism about benching Coach Prime's son despite their disappointing run under the ex-Oregon quarterback."Why wouldn't you just to see if it does anything to the offense, give him the opportunity to go in there and play?" Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot asked Stefanski on Monday."Obviously, my focus is where we are right now May Kay, that's not my focus," Stefanski replied. "Yeah, he obviously came in Saturday with his back injury. We were hopeful that he'd be able to move around well enough to suit up on Saturday, or excuse me, on Sunday. But, put him through a pre-game warm up and obviously just didn't feel like he was ready to play."But he's getting better every day and I'm hopeful that he'll continue to improve."

"Because the answers to the questions and the logic, from the moment they drafted him (Shedeur) to right now, they are these incongruencies and inconsistencies. Why did they take him in the fifth round? Why was he still there in the fifth round?"There's more than meets the eye. It's Browns dysfunction at its finest."The Browns (2-6) have a Bye Week coming up after which they face the New York Jets on Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. ET.
