The Cleveland Browns opted against using the first week of the NFL season to evaluate and develop either rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders, in favor of naming 40-year-old Joe Flacco the starting quarterback, as the Indianapolis Colts announced plans to move forward with Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson.

Veteran NFL reporters Matt Lombardo and Mike Tanier give their thoughts on the consequential decisions made by two rather inconsequential teams, that have put their head coaches in the unenviable position of attempting to win with a mediocre or worse roster led by mediocre or worse quarterbacks.

Meanwhile, an NFL Executive reveals Micah Parsons’ best fits in the immediate aftermath of ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggesting the All-Pro edge rusher and the Dallas Cowboys could be headed for a divorce.
