The Cleveland Browns suffered a 32-13 loss against the New England Patriots on Sunday, their third loss in rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel's fourth start of the season.While Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was without backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders for Sunday's game, Cleveland continues to persist with Gabriel as their starter.NFL and Cleveland ESPN host Aaron Goldhammer spoke about the situation surrounding Gabriel and Sanders, criticizing Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's handling of the quarterback situation."There's something going on here that is weird, strange and dysfunctional. Because the answers to the questions and the logic from the moment they drafted him [Sanders] to right now, there are all these incongruities and inconsistencies," Goldhammer said."Why didn't he get more reps and opportunities in training camp when he's the more talented guy and Dillon Gabriel is the less talented guy? It's more than meets the eye, it's Browns dysfunction at its finest."In six appearances this year, Gabriel has completed 59.9% of his passes for 702 yards, averaging 4.9 yards per throw, while his fellow rookie is yet to get an opportunity.Also read: Kevin Stefanski drops cold response on Shedeur Sanders question as calls mount to start Deion Sanders' son over Dillon GabrielBrowns analyst urges Cleveland to try Shedeur Sanders after 2-6 startAfter the Browns traded veteran quarterback Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, Shedeur Sanders was expected to get some playing time as Dillon Gabriel's backup.However, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski is persisting with the former Oregon Duck.

"I don’t know what’s gonna happen this offseason… You know what? Just, I might as well have a chance to have a little bit of fun."If (Sanders’) back isn’t locked up and he doesn’t need a back-iotomy, just put him out there, for the love of Christ! Just put him out there and let’s see! Give me a good effort for a week and let’s see what he can do.”Despite the outrage among the Browns fanbase, Stefanski seems adamant on Gabriel, with speculations of a trade growing stronger for his fellow rookie.
