The Cleveland Browns turned to Shedeur Sanders in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, as a concussion sidelined Deshaun Watson for a week.

But Watson is back and is now the starter once again. Sanders is in the backup role, and now the question for him is: will he get a chance to start again this season?

In the eyes of ESPN analyst Ben Solak, Sanders isn't likely to get that chance. The reason why? Solak's assessment of Sanders is that the second-year QB isn't good enough to take the starting QB job from Watson.

"I think ... Shedeur Sanders still isn't good enough to unseat Deshaun Watson," Solak writes. That's even the case after Sanders' impressive Week 9 start.

While the Browns lost, Sanders' box score looked good, as he went 19 of 31 for 297 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions and a solid 114.6 passer rating.

"But Sanders' game was a lot shakier than the box score indicates," Solak writes. "Despite those lofty numbers, he had a dropback success rate of 31%. That success rate is worse than every Watson start this season, save for the rain game against the Jets in Week 5."

Even though Sanders' box score looked strong from Week 9, the overall success of the offense wasn't nearly impressive enough for Solak to believe Sanders deserves to be the starter going forward.

It's important to note that Solak does believe Sanders played well enough in Week 9 that a decision to start him over Wason would be "plenty defensible."

But, at the same time, Sanders' performance didn't move the needle for head coach Todd Monken, and the overall success of the offense led by Sanders isn't as appealing as his traditional statistics might indicate.

The 5-4 Browns believe they can make the playoffs, and benching Watson for Sanders might not make sense for Monken. If Watson struggles, or the Browns fall out of contention, then Sanders might get another chance to start.

But Solak believes Sanders isn't good enough just yet to completely unseat Watson without some other circumstance changing Monken's mind.

Sanders might have to wait a while before he starts again this season for the Browns, if they even turn it over to him at all. The Browns are sticking with Watson, and Sanders is once again on the back burner in the Cleveland quarterback room.
