## Resource

The Cleveland Browns are close to picking their starting quarterback, but the reality is Shedeur Sanders is the only right option and Deshaun Watson made that even more obvious this weekend when he flamed the Browns fanbase for how he's been treated and took zero accountability for the turmoil he's experienced over the past few years. Another quarterback battle to watch is in Atlanta where the Falcons have not been ompressed with Tua Tagovailoa so far, but now Michael Penix returns to full action and can make this a real competition over the next three weeks. The Minnesota Vikings ended their battle weeks ago, choosing Kyler Murray, but they have totally failed to give him adequate reps to get ready for the season ahead. For younger passers, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a very important depth fight happening between Drew Allar and Will Howard, but after Howard's poor showing this weekend, it could be over. Finally, the Las Vegas Raiders thought Fernando Mendoza might be ready to go, but after a rough outing, maybe it is time to pump the brakes on that.
