Add a backup battle with Dillon Gabriel to the mix, and now every snap, tweet, and mistake is under the fan microscope, especially when it adds fuel to the quarterback competition fire.

How Will Dillon Gabriel’s Pick-Six Against the Eagles Affect the Quarterback Battle?

Things went sideways for Gabriel early in the second quarter during the Browns’ preseason showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles. Gabriel rolled out to his left, looking for a quick throw, but Eagles defensive back Andrew Mukuba stepped in front, picked it off, and took it all the way to the house for a pick-six.

Right after the play, fans immediately threw their support behind Sanders. One, looking to highlight how Gabriel’s mistake gave Sanders a PR boost, chimed in with, “perfect timingg.”

Someone else asked a question that’s on a lot of people’s minds, “where was he throwing?” Fan reactions piled up fast.

The memes and jokes kept coming. One fan posted a fake Nike ad with the caption, “Only a matter of time.”

One more declared, “Shedeur FC never loses,” adding a bit of team loyalty to the moment.

Someone compared Gabriel’s pass to fast food, posting, “Threw a chicken fry from Burger King.”

Others didn’t hold back either. One poster shared his excitement with, “Dillon Gabriel pick 6 is food for my SOUL.”

One fan threw out a strong take that Gabriel’s pick-six “just ruined Dillon Gabriel’s entire career … This is now officially who he is.”

Another mocked the QB debate with, “Dillon Gabriel just threw a pick 6, and yall think he better than Sanders … yall don’t know ball.”

The jokes weren’t stopping. A Shedeur Sanders fan joined in, posting, “DILLON GABRIEL HATEWATCH GOING GREAT.”

And finally, a fan put it bluntly: “Dillon Gabriel your career is over as a starting quarterback just like that.”

Looking at the big picture, both Gabriel and Sanders are still chasing Joe Flacco, who holds down the top spot for the Browns right now. Still, Gabriel’s mistake definitely doesn’t help his fight for the job, especially while Sanders is dealing with an oblique injury that’s keeping him on the sideline. For Cleveland fans, every preseason snap just got a whole lot more interesting.
