Cleveland, Ohio — The Browns caught almost everyone off surprise when they switched to Jameis Winston over Joe Flacco as their backup quarterback for next season. Winston joins the Browns after serving as the backup in New Orleans.

Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock, and Dan Labbe discuss the Browns’ decision and how Winston came up as the backup to Deshaun Watson.

They debate their thoughts on the choice and what motivated the Browns to do it. Is this a better scheme match than Flacco?

They also discuss if the Browns contemplated what would happen if Watson struggled with Flacco on the sideline, and whether they should have.

They then examine Winston’s off-field difficulties at Florida State and early in his career, as well as how fans may react to him, before moving on to Winston’s demeanour and what he contributes as a backup.

They conclude the podcast by speculating about Flacco’s future move.
