THE Cleveland Browns have a quarterback competition underway, and no one knows who is going to come out on top.
As training camp gets underway, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders are fighting for the starting quarterback spot.

Among those four players, one is going to start and one will likely be cut from the team.
Training camp should iron out who is chosen for each of those, but it is only a matter of when it is decided.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski revealed on Wednesday that he has “a plan that is in pencil” for his timeline to name a starter.
“We have to take in information every single day, take in how guys are handling certain situations, and then adjust from there,” Stefanski said.
“But we’ll get to those type of decisions later on.
“Listen, I think the big thing for me is putting our guys in a position where we can evaluate them.
“I think they did a great job in the spring. All four of those guys, I will continue to put them in some situations, but ultimately, we’d love to make decisions sooner than later.”
So far, it appears that Pickett is in the driver’s seat for the starting spot.
On Wednesday, he took all of the first-team reps at quarterback in 11-on-11 drills.
Stefanski likes to rotate quarterbacks in camp, so it is entirely possible that he won’t continue getting first-team reps.
Pickett thinks he can win the QB competition though, and revealed how he can do it.
“Consistency. I think that’s what coaches are looking for,” he said.
“A guy that’s consistent, that’s the same guy every day that they can count on.”
Browns fans all have different opinions of who they want to start, and have shared their thoughts on social media.
