Another Oregon QB getting their shot to start! I'm quite excited for this, although I wish it was for any other team in the NFL. The Browns have a long history with being a terrible place to be a QB but if anyone can come in and shine it's Dillon.

It's going to be a tough go of it with Cleveland's offensive line but with Gabriel's quick release and elusiveness that's as good a shot as the Browns have had in a long time. The saving grace is the Browns D can keep them in the game as long as DG can avoid turnovers and make some plays.

Part of me wants to see him ball out and crush it. The other part of me wants him to play just good enough to get traded to a team where he can actually shine.

Coach speak: "From the second he's been here, he's been working very hard, very intelligent young man,"

DG looking like a legit NFL QB, taking the lead going into the half.

Dillon looks calm, cool, collected and well schooled through the first half. Despite some heavy rushes by the Vikes DG is getting the ball out and on target.

He’s been lucky on several tips and hurries not to suffer an interception. Let’s see what the. second half brings?

All in all a good first showing, needs time with the first team to get on the same page on option routes but outside that looked good.
