Maybe, just maybe, this is actually a good thing. Now he knows he isn`t “da Man” and nobody is going to treat him like the next big thing. He’ll (hopefully) understand that he has to give it his all. At the same time he will be able to learn behind the starting QB.He won`t be expected to be the saviour of a failing franchise in his first year.
I hope for his sake that you’re right and he’s mortified.
It looks like the Browns have five QBs going into camp...
