Browns hire a new HC and six QBs primed to make the leap in 2026

·1 hr 8 min·4 clips

The Browns hired Todd Munkin, and four Browns offensive linemen are free agents right now.

The episode starts with the crew joking through Pro Bowl Week and settling on the idea that all-star games are mostly a way to pass time. The tone stays loose, but the conversation keeps snapping back to fantasy value. They talk about Josh Allen’s running style and how it has grown more cautious over time. That opens the door to a joke about Jackson Dart not having learned that lesson yet. The panel keeps pressing on the basic question of when a young quarterback learns to stop taking pointless punishment. From there, the conversation shifts to Trevor Lawrence and whether his late-season production is actually sustainable. One host points out that his final stretch looked huge on paper. The group responds that the passing touchdown pace and rushing touchdown pace both looked extreme. They also note that the defenses he faced were not especially daunting outside of Denver. That sets up the real fantasy question: how much trust should you give him in harder matchups? The panel agrees that he belongs in the same general conversation as quarterbacks like Goff, Herbert, and Dak. Even so, they do not treat that tier as automatically safe. Dak’s floor comes up as a real issue. The group keeps coming back to the idea that a quarterback can be usable every week and still not be steady enough for blind trust. They also discuss how draft position changes your backup quarterback strategy. If you take a starter earlier, you may not need to pair him with a second one right away. If you wait, you may want more upside behind your first pick. The whole segment stays grounded in lineup math rather than abstract player praise. It is less about hype than about where the weekly edge actually comes from. The talk keeps moving, but every detour returns to the same question: who is worth starting, and when is the matchup too hard? By the end, the episode has turned a quiet NFL calendar week into a practical quarterback checklist.
