Shedeur Sanders led the Cleveland Browns to a win in his first NFL start. However, a moment in the game stood out. That moment occurred in the first quarter as the Browns took off Sanders to line up running back Quinshon Judkins as a QB in a wildcat formation.The Browns scored a touchdown on the play, but questions were asked about Kevin Stefanski's treatment of his rookie quarterback. Cam Newton was among those who questioned the head coach's intentions.In a Monday episode of 'First Take', Newton said,"Given the circumstances of what we've seen take place this year, certain things don't tell me what's being said. The optics show that Kevin Stefanski does not want to see Shedeur Sanders win."Newton continued,"When you give a person minimalistic opportunities in Shedeur, saying, ‘Hey, if we had this much excitement on the sideline, the players are responding differently. The fans are responding differently.’ Everybody is chiming in a little differently when this man is up under center. It's not like he's incapable because he showed that."The one-time NFL MVP concluded,"What I'm saying is if you had given half of the treatment that you've given Dillon Gabriel, what would that look like? It is abundantly clear that he's going to say the right things… You're not making it about young man development when you sit up here having a guy who's been up under your tutelage going on for six months, and you haven't developed him the right way."Sanders finished the game with a stat line of 209 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. His performance and resilience earned plaudits around the league as he led the Browns to their third win of the season.Next up for Sanders and Co. is a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
