"Fans Criticize Browns' Team Management Over QB Assessment Mishap"

The Cleveland Browns are gearing up for the new season, but uncertainty surrounds their quarterback situation. The Browns' 3-14 record in 2024 has left fans questioning the team's decision-making process, with some arguing that the organisation doesn't fully understand football.

One of the stories of the summer was the high-profile quarterback battle, overseen by General Manager Andrew Berry. Joe Flacco emerged as the starter, landing at the top of the Browns' 2025 quarterback depth chart. However, this decision has not been met with universal approval. Some fans believe the organisation made a mistake in naming Flacco the starter over two rookie prospects, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

The controversy surrounding the quarterback situation has been further fuelled by the comments of assistant GM Catherine Hickman. Hickman, who oversees nearly every aspect of football operations, has gone viral for her comments on the team's quarterback evaluations. Her emphasis on collecting 'as many valuable data points as we can' around their quarterbacks has led some fans to question the team's reliance on analytics and the potential overlook of intangible factors.

The Browns' owner, Jimmy Haslam, drew controversy with his comments about drafting Shedeur Sanders. His remarks have added to the fan dissatisfaction with the hire of analytic personnel in the Browns' front office.

As the Browns prepare for their first game of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals, the spotlight remains on their quarterback situation. If the team struggles again in the upcoming season, questions will be raised about their evaluation approach from the summer.
