The Cleveland Browns have to make some changes.
They can’t afford to have subpar quarterback play hold the offense back, especially with such a talented defense.
Nevertheless, as much as some people might feel like it’s time to move on from Joe Flacco, Kevin Stefanski doesn’t seem to feel the same way.
According to a report by Browns insider Scott Petrak, the Browns don’t intend to make a quarterback change right now:
“Browns coach Kevin Stefanski says making QB change “isn’t our focus,” he wrote.

Flacco had his worst game of the season yet, and that’s a lot to say.
He was 16-34 for 184 yards and threw two interceptions.
It seemed that he was going to be on a short leash after Dillon Gabriel already took the field this season in Week 2, but that wasn’t the case.
Granted, his pass-catchers struggled with drops and route-running, so it’s not all on him.
The Browns will now pack their bags and head to London for a Week 5 date with the Minnesota Vikings.
The setting would be far from ideal for a rookie to make his first start, especially with the Browns’ current injuries on the offensive line.
At this stage, there’s little reason not to give Dillon Gabriel a shot. The offense is already struggling, and even if he doesn’t perform any better, he’ll gain valuable experience and continue developing.
