Cleveland Browns fans are growing increasingly frustrated with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel following his fourth start, leading to calls for the team to consider using Shedeur Sanders as the starting quarterback. Gabriel’s performance in the Browns’ 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday was particularly difficult, with the quarterback throwing two interceptions and committing an intentional grounding penalty that gave the Patriots an extra point. Despite Sanders’ back injury keeping him inactive, fans are demanding the Browns give him a chance as the team faces a demanding schedule ahead.
The Browns had planned to give Gabriel some reps before their game against the Minnesota Vikings, but his performance against the Patriots has raised questions about whether he is ready for the role. Sanders and Gabriel were both drafted in the same class, but an injury in the preseason has kept Sanders from competing for the starting job. The debate over the quarterback position has become a major topic of discussion among fans, with many believing that Sanders should have been given more opportunities earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, Myles Garrett set a franchise record for most sacks in a single game with five, but the team didn’t have the win to show for it. This highlights the broader challenge the Browns face as they try to balance individual performance with team success. The situation has sparked a wave of frustration among fans, with many calling for the team to take action and give Sanders a chance to prove himself in the coming weeks.
