Watson named 2026 starter over Sanders; Monken prioritizes production and winning.

HC Todd Monken will name Watson the starting quarterback for 2026 over Shedeur Sanders. The decision will be justified by citing 'production' and 'giving us the best chance to win,' per GM Andrew Berry's previous framing. The source lists potential decision factors including Watson's cadence and play-calling efficiency, QB run game unlocking, contract insurance value if injured, veteran preference in a tie, and Watson's stronger arm and preference for lower-risk throws.
