🚨 Donovan McNabb DEFENDS Dylan Gabriel While Fans DEMAND Sanders – Is He Missing the Point? 🚨

The quarterback drama in Cleveland continues to dominate headlines, and now former NFL star Donovan McNabb has entered the fray with comments that are causing quite a stir.

McNabb, who spent most of his career as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, took to social media to address the growing calls for Shedeur Sanders to replace Dylan Gabriel as the Browns’ starting QB.

In doing so, McNabb managed to turn heads and ignite a heated debate among fans, analysts, and former players alike.

McNabb’s primary message was clear: Sanders supporters need to pump the brakes.

He argued that rushing Sanders onto the field could do more harm than good, especially in the challenging environment of Cleveland.

“This ain’t college,” McNabb said.

“If you have a below-average year when you’re in there, they’re going to look to put somebody else in or draft another guy. This is the time for him to learn and be ready when his time comes.”

While McNabb’s comments were framed as advice for Sanders, many fans interpreted them as an unnecessary defense of Dylan Gabriel, whose performances this season have been widely criticized.

Gabriel, a third-round draft pick, has struggled to find consistency, leaving the Browns’ offense stagnant and reliant on their running game and defense.

Despite this, McNabb praised Gabriel, calling him “efficient, accurate, and mobile,” and lamented how fans seem to be “praying for his downfall just to get Sanders on the field.”

McNabb’s remarks have not gone over well with Sanders supporters, who see them as dismissive of Sanders’ talent and readiness to play.

“Donovan McNabb must not realize how big Shedeur Sanders’ name is,” one fan commented.

“The nation wants to see Sanders. The world wants to see Sanders.  It’s not just Cleveland fans—it’s everyone.”

Critics of McNabb’s stance argue that his comments reflect a bias against Sanders, who has been overshadowed by Gabriel despite showing promise as the Browns’ quarterback of the future.

“McNabb is hating on Sanders, plain and simple,” one analyst said.

“Fans want to see their favorite players perform, and Sanders has the potential to be great. Why should they settle for mediocrity with Gabriel?”

The debate has also reignited discussions about Kevin Stefanski’s leadership and play-calling, which many fans and analysts believe are holding the team back.

McNabb acknowledged these issues, stating that Sanders might be better off sitting out the season rather than playing under Stefanski.

“Kevin Stefanski is a horrible play-caller,” McNabb said.

“Joe Flacco exposed him when he went to the Bengals. Same thing with Baker Mayfield. Quarterbacks have success elsewhere, but not in Cleveland.”

This sentiment has been echoed by fans, who have grown increasingly frustrated with Stefanski’s handling of the team’s quarterback situation.

“If Sanders had played Week 1, they would’ve jumped all over him,” one fan argued.

“And the whole time, it wouldn’t have been Sanders’ fault—it would’ve been Stefanski’s play-calling.”

Despite the criticism, McNabb maintained that everything happens for a reason and that Sanders’ time will come.

“There’s a reason Sanders is sitting most of the season,” McNabb said.

“If I’m Sanders, I’d be thankful for it. Cleveland has a very bad situation, and it’s clear they can’t find a quarterback to save their life.”

Fans, however, are not convinced.

Many believe that Sanders has the talent and poise to succeed, even in a challenging environment like Cleveland.

“We’ve seen enough of Gabriel,” one fan wrote.

“It’s time for Sanders to get his shot. He’s the quarterback of the future, and the Browns need to stop wasting time.”

The debate over Sanders’ readiness and Gabriel’s performance has created a divide among Browns fans, with some agreeing with McNabb’s cautious approach and others demanding immediate change.

As the team continues to struggle, the pressure on Stefanski to make a decision grows stronger.

Whether he will stick with Gabriel or give Sanders a chance remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the spotlight is firmly on Cleveland, and the world is watching.

McNabb’s comments have added fuel to the fire, and the controversy shows no signs of slowing down.

For Sanders, the support from fans and critics alike is a reminder that he has the potential to be great—but whether he’ll get the opportunity to prove it under Stefanski’s leadership remains uncertain.
