Ken and Anthony dig into Mary Kay Cabot's take that Deshaun Watson looks like the QB1 right now, while pointing to Adam Schefter's report suggesting Watson could start the season but Shedeur Sanders may end up playing the most snaps overall. They debate whether it's actually beneficial for Sanders to sit early behind a brand-new offensive line rather than get thrown to the wolves in Week 1, especially given Watson's declining mobility and injury history. A caller named Mike pushes the theory further, suggesting the front office may be using Watson as a "sacrificial lamb" to protect their real long-term investment in Sanders.
