Rex Ryan Rips Browns Rookie Shedeur Sanders as Browns Stick With Struggling Joe Flacco

The former coach questioned the rookie’s preparation as Cleveland keeps him third on the depth chart without a snap four games into a 1-3 start.

Overview

  • Ryan called Sanders an “embarrassment” on ESPN’s Get Up, saying “something’s missing” and urging him to sit up front in meetings and study.
  • Joe Flacco has posted league-worst figures, including eight turnovers, a 60.3 passer rating and a 27.6 adjusted QBR, according to StatMuse and ESPN.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski appears set to stay with Flacco, who as of Monday was on track to start against the Vikings in London.
  • Sanders remains the Browns’ No. 3 quarterback after a rough preseason finale in which he completed 3-of-6 for 14 yards and took five sacks.
  • The rookie recently said he is ready to play and believes he could outperform some current starters, while local ESPN Cleveland hosts speculated Ryan may have heard similar concerns from inside the team.
