The Cleveland Browns have one of the more interesting quarterback situations going on in the NFL. With Dillon Gabriel now starting, those haven't exactly been answered.

At just 5-foot-11, it's evident that Gabriel has some below-average traits as an NFL quarterback.

Regardless of those traits, however, it's only fair to give Gabriel some time. He's appeared in four games, starting in two of them. In his first start against the Minnesota Vikings, he threw for 190 yards and two touchdowns. However, against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, he was below average, not throwing a touchdown and completing only 55.8% of his passes.
It’d make sense if some of the Browns' wide receivers started to voice their frustration about the quarterback situation, with Shedeur Sanders looming as the QB2. However, star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy doesn't find it to be much of an issue.
Jeudy understands that he needs to get the football regardless of who's playing quarterback.
“Honestly, I don’t think it’s difficult at all,” Jeudy said, per Chris Easterling of the Beacon Journal. “The football is still the same size. It might spin a little different, but you still got to catch it the same way. So it is not really too much adjustment that need to be done. We just got to concentrate on the ball coming towards us and instead of making a play. You got to catch the ball first. So then make a play after that.”

This is an excellent response from the veteran, but it's also a bit unfair to continue asking Jeudy to deal with all these quarterback changes. At 26 years old, he's proving that he can be a WR1 on an above-average team, posting 1,229 yards and four touchdowns a season ago. He had some success early on in his career with the Denver Broncos, too, finishing with 972 yards and six touchdowns in 2022.
