What would need to happen for you to be ready to bench Tyrod and start Drew Stanton?

[NudeTayne]

Per CBS, Hue is looking to elevate Drew Stanton to the status of number two quarterback going forward:

"I've said from the beginning that I think experience is important," Jackson said, per Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.  "Right now, Drew still has that experience, and we'll see how that all unfolds as we go. I haven't made that choice just yet, but his veteran presence says a lot. He's played in a lot of games against a lot of teams that we are going to start off against and play against so I think that is important to definitely consider."

Meanwhile, quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese pointed toward Stanton's win-loss record as a starter.

"He's the secret sauce," Zampese said this week. "I'll stand right here and say it. He's the secret sauce to the room and to the group. He's seen everything before and he's played enough to know exactly what's going through the starter's head. Shoot, as a starter he has a winning record. So he has a lot of input and a lot of influence on the way we think about things and the way we do things. He's fantastic."

What will it take for Hue to end the Tyrod experiment and instead dip into the secret sauce?

Jackson and Zampese aren't wrong: Stanton has played in a lot of games (38 to be exact) and he's won more games than he's lost (11-6 in 17 career starts). But the idea that the Browns would consider playing Stanton over Mayfield, who appears to be as NFL-ready as a rookie quarterback can be, because he has experience serves as yet another reminder that there are serious questions about this coaching staff's competency.

By the sound of it, Jackson hasn't made a decision yet -- Stanton is expected to get some reps in during the team's next preseason game -- so there's still hope that he'll come to his senses and pick the better quarterback to be higher up the depth chart than the worse quarterback. But given his track record with the Browns, we probably shouldn't expect him to make the common-sense decision. It shouldn't even be a topic of discussion, but here we are

Hue doesn't care about your ellipses or opinion, but please be sure to vote on what you would do in this situation.

Cherry picking at its finest. The editorializing by the writer isn't as important.

I don't know if I'd rather have Hue sent into lake Erie after reading this thread or have Tayne cursed with monthly ellipsis.

They are doing too much. Overthinking at its finest. Fear of failing.

One is okay. It'll calibrate to the cycle of the moon.

I think this is a temporary, early season move. 

I look at it as if week 1, Taylor breaks his collarbone, is Hueball ready to hand it over to Mayfield henceforth? This isn’t a shocking thought process, though not a popular or agreeable one. I can’t see Stanton being the #2 past the first 1/3 it the season; half at the most.

This.

IMO the concern would be as NateDawg pointed out. Tyrod is someone that you can’t fully trust and I imagine Stanton would be the immediate backup plan should something happen to Tyrod. 

I cant imagine Mayfield is gonna take too long to get ready and I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see a change in the #2 (and #1) spot relatively quickly. I liked Stanton but he is certainly not a long term starter.

You lost pal?

Would you believe me if I told you I saw this post coming? This thread is so Tayne. #EmbraceTheTayne

 

I don't believe it for a second, but I will say that it could be situational. If something were to happen to Tyrod in the first few weeks, it seems more likely, but if we get into the middle of the season and it happens, there just can't be any way, unless they're seeing something from Baker that tells them he has a long way to go, which, right now, he certainly does not.
