Takeaways from NFL preseason Week 2: QB questions linger for Browns, Cowboys, Vikings
NFL Nation reporters tackle the biggest looming roster questions coming off each NFL Week 2 preseason game.
The NFL preseason is in full swing, and teams are starting to take shape. But for a few teams, including the Browns, Cowboys, and Vikings, there's still uncertainty at the quarterback position. For the Browns, the battle between Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson is heating up, but it's clear that Watson still has a lot to prove after a tumultuous offseason. The Cowboys are dealing with their own QB conundrum, as Dak Prescott's contract situation continues to loom large, and the team's backups are vying for playing time. Meanwhile, the Vikings are trying to find a suitable replacement for Kirk Cousins, and it's unclear who will emerge as the starter.
These quarterback questions matter because they have a direct impact on each team's chances of success this season. A strong quarterback can elevate an entire roster, while a struggling QB can hold a team back. The preseason provides a crucial opportunity for teams to evaluate their quarterbacks and make adjustments before the regular season kicks off. For coaches, these quarterback battles are particularly important, as they'll need to make tough decisions about who to trust with the reins of their offense.
As the preseason continues, all eyes will be on these quarterback battles. Will Deshaun Watson assert his dominance in Cleveland, or will Dorian Thompson-Robinson make a push for the starting job? Can Dak Prescott lead the Cowboys to a successful season, or will the team look to move on from him? And who will emerge as the Vikings' new starting quarterback? Coaches and fans alike will be watching closely to see how these stories play out, and how they impact each team's chances of success in the 2023 season.
