Fans on social media came together to roast the Cleveland Browns and their quarterback, Kenny Pickett, after the team posted side-by-side photos of the aforementioned signal-caller and Joe Flacco.
The Browns have a stacked QB room, with Deshaun Watson still around, as well as the acquisitions of Pickett and Flacco. They also drafted Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders last month and will hope to foster some good, healthy competition for that starting spot.
Of course, Watson is not in contention, given his injury status. And it appears it could be between Pickett and Flacco.
The Browns took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday, posting photos of the two quarterbacks in practice and captioning them: “Football things are happening.”

Cleveland Browns QB Kenny Pickett Is Off To A Rough Start, At Least On X
Users immediately zoned in on Pickett’s hands, which appeared unnaturally small over the football he was holding, especially when compared to Flacco’s.
“Whole world is cooking small hands Pickett imagine having that as ur QB ,” one wrote.

“If Sanders can’t beat these two out he’s doesn’t have a shot in the big NFL,” someone else predicted.

While the Cleveland Browns have placed Pickett and Flacco front and center, Sanders is the quarterback drawing the most intrigue. The former Colorado star has been the top jersey seller among rookies in the 2025 class and was recently assigned a jersey number by the team.
The Browns have made it clear that numbers are subject to change, but have handed Shedeur the No. 12 for now, giving the No. 2, which he wore in college, to DeAndre Carter.
