THE Cleveland Browns have hit a low point when it comes to their quarterback position. Not just because Deshaun Watson has hustled the Haslams for every penny they have, but because his replacement is somehow a worse option.

Tony Grossi mentioned that Jones is working his way to becoming the Browns’ backup quarterback. And honestly, that move would be seriously worse than signing Watson to another contract.

Grossi thinks Kevin Stefanski could really make Jones competitive. And I just can’t see it. Not when Jones hasn’t looked good since entering the NFL. The New York Giants felt they had to pay him and he probably played worse per dollar earned than Watson and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The Browns absolutely need an upgrade at quarterback. The focus is on upgrading. Jones would be a regression. Especially with the Browns sitting as a top-five draft pick with a loaded quarterback class, leaning on Jones among all current quarterbacks doesn’t make sense.

The Haslams made a terrible financial decision with Watson. I don’t see them doing that again for Jones, out of all the options.

We saw several quarterbacks find a new life with new teams. Justin Fields/Russell Wilson did it in Pittsburgh, Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay and Sam Darnold in Minnesota. But sending Jones to Cleveland would give Factory of Sadness a whole new meaning.

Of course, Jones could probably see his career resume if he found a new team. But nothing about a move to Cleveland seems to benefit either party. Although one of his best games this season was against the Browns, ironically that doesn’t mean he would solve their problems.

Cleveland is in a terrible position when it comes to addressing their quarterback. There is no confidence that they will be able to turn a rookie into a franchise player like they have failed to do over the past two decades.

There’s also not much hope that they will be a great rehab organization. So who are you trying your luck with? Well, a rookie is a cheaper option that would allow you to build around him in a favorable cap situation. Taking on Jones’ contract or paying a veteran in the offseason wouldn’t be ideal.

And right now, the only way that would make sense would be if Carolina or Indianapolis got rid of their young quarterbacks. But going after Daniels would make no sense. Even though Kevin Stefanski managed to make the most of Joe FlaccoJones is much more of a project than Flacco ever was.

And talking about it would only punish Browns fans more than they deserve. Just like Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions fans had to go through tough seasons to get to where they are now, so do Browns fans.

At some point, they’ll get the quarterback they deserve. It just won’t be Daniel Jones.
