​BEREA ― The Browns had their couple of hours in the sun with the Buffalo Bills on Aug. 20. At least, their couple of hours under the afternoon sun as they went through the one joint practice they’re going to conduct before a preseason game this weekend.The Browns and Bills offenses were on adjacent fields for most of the day, save for the final half hour or so when a couple of timed, situational periods were conducted at the end of practice. Browns coach Todd Monken spent the entire day with the Cleveland offense, obviously, as its play-caller.However, when all was said and done, Monken stepped to the microphone and said it was, for the most part, a job well done.Subscribe to Browns Insider newsletter“God, was that a lot of fun?” Monken said afterward. “Holy s—. It’s fun to compete against someone else. Their guys, our guys, I’ve got a lot of respect for the Bills. It got a little edgy, but not over the top. And that’s exactly what you’re looking for. Guys want to compete, right? They’ve got a lot of pride in the way they perform. I thought our guys — I can only speak to one side, obviously the field I was in, but it was awesome. Commend the Bills and our guys for taking it to the line but not going over the line.”So what did we learn from the festivities? Here are some quick takeaways after a few hours to absorb everything that went on in what was, really, a very short time period in the grand scheme of training camp.Both QBs had their moments, but Deshaun Watson remains the leaderIt feels like the decision on who will start at quarterback is coming sooner rather than later. And “sooner” as in the start of next week heading into the final preseason game Aug. 27 against the New England Patriots.Deshaun Watson has seemed to the lead the competition for a couple of weeks, although Monken has been quick to always push back on such assumptions. Still, there is some guesswork involved here, and if we’re to operate from that position, Shedeur Sanders needed a big day against the Bills starters ― the ones that practiced, at least ― to bridge any perceived gaps.That didn’t quite happen. Sanders had good moments and good throws, including a nice two-minute drill in which he had them in position to score, only to have his final pass broken up on a jump ball to rookie Denzel Boston.Conversely, Watson wasn’t awful, either. His best throw was to rookie KC Concepcion across the middle, but he had others that were like it as well and allowed him to prevent the gap from being closed.Monken remains committed to the plan that Sanders will start the Aug. 22 preseason game and play a half, and will have Concepcion and Boston at his disposal for at least a strech. Watson will then play the third quarter, while being able to finish out a drive should they be on one when the quarter ends.Josh Allen on the next field makes for an unfair comparisonYou realize how far away the Browns are at quarterback from the top of the league when arguably one o
