"Definition of insanity" "Forever tank mode": NFL fans react as Browns reportedly double down on Shedeur Sanders by skipping on QB in 2026 NFL Draft

Shedeur Sanders didn't appear to be the answer the Cleveland Browns are seeking for their long-standing quarterback issue. The rookie quarterback had an abysmal outing in the Week 15 game vs. the Bears as the team lost 31-3, and Sanders couldn't even register a touchdown. He had a 17.7 passer rating.

Nonetheless, the Cleveland front office has reportedly agreed to give Sanders a fair chance before pulling the plug on the experiment. According to Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot, the franchise will skip selecting a quarterback in the 2026 NFL draft.

"I just have a feeling that they're going to analyze the whole thing and decide they want to move forward with him. I can't say for sure, yet, but it sort of has that vibe, feels like it's almost kind of trending in that direction," Cabot said today while appearing on '92.3 The Fan.'

However, NFL fans are not convinced that this reported decision by the Browns will ultimately benefit the franchise. One fan said,

"This should be in the dictionary as the definition of insanity." Another said, "Forever in tank mode." One X user tweeted, "Lol. That would be the most Browns move ever." "Poverty teams stay poverty for a reason," tweeted another. "Well, they are, in fact, the Browns. Worst ownership and management in the NFL," said one more. "They will never get out of poverty," commented another.
