Joe Flacco Makes His Feelings on Being a Mentor to Shedeur Sanders Very Clear

[Rekkapryde]

I want Shedeur to have the best opportunity to succeed...I think that entails him sitting, watching & learning from Flacco the first 8 wks...and then starting after the bye week in wk 10, which effectively gives him 2 wks to prepare for his first start

I'm pulling for Shedeur

The problem for Shedeur will be getting snaps.

Them Facility Show nikkaz were explaining how shyt goes in practice on a play.

You run a play 15 times
- 1st team QB gets 9/10 snaps
- 2nd team QB gets 3/4 snaps
- 3rd team QB gets one or two snaps

Currently Shedeur is technically 5th on the QB chart behind Flacco, NastyMan, Pickett, Gabriel. Since NastyMan is rehabbing, he's 4th. He should be able to beat out Gabriel for 3rd QB if he gets the snaps/chance. If he really gets the chance he should also beat out Pickett becoming the pseduo backup. NastyMan probably ain't coming back this season.

The Browns are a disaster class from a professional standpoint.

The reactions to this story are why so many teams wanted nothing to do with Shedeur after the first couple rounds: it's gonna be an endless circus. Flacco didn't say anything crazy. To me it's the exact opposite of what Ryan Tannehill said about Malik Willis. Tannehill was on his way out the door and clearly in position to be a mentor for the next guy, whereas Flacco is clearly still good and can be a successful starter for 2025.

fukk being the starter, I'm surprised Flacco is still in the league. Dude got benched for Anthony Richardson, who may be the worst QB in the history of the NFL.

There has been a few reports saying Gabriel doesn't look good at all. Where there is smoke, there is fire.

He's better than Gabriel. Not shocked. Gabriel and Milroe going ahead of him was comical no matter how goofy or bad Shedeur's predraft interviews/workouts may have been.

And they are going to start looking like idiots prompting Dillon up over Shedeur based soley on their personal bias rather than actual talent.

EVERY draft expert had Shedeur going in the first round, EVERY MAJOR ONE.

I'm still wondering what the fukk did he say/do during these interviews and pre-draft workouts?

DG and Shedeur just need to ask questions and observe.

It's not up to Flacco to explain what he's doing after every rep. They need to ask questions.

Flacco could have answered and said "I'm doing what I'm supposed to do", amd leave it at that.

I wouldn't go by that article. Zac Jackson doesn't look like he knows much about playing football.

I watched every Gabriel snap for 2 yrs. The guy is good enough to be an NFL qb. A day 1 starter, ehh, probably not, but to say he "doesn't look like a nfl qb" is a little silly. Unless he's regressed.

Meh Flacco has been down this road and is crossing his Ts

Joe Flacco not actively mentoring a rookie Lamar Jackson is the best thing that could’ve happened to him

Before he became a star, MVP-caliber quarterback, Lamar Jackson was once just a doe-eyed rookie like everyone else. He also had to learn the ropes, and he also had to get accustomed to the speed of NFL defenses. It happens to the best of them. According to Robert Griffin III…

Thanks for bringing this up

He wasn't a good mentor for AR last year either.

Right or wrong he is out there for himself, he wants to start and lead the team nowhere.

This is like the 3rd person saying this, and these are cac browns reporters and media people.

 

[BucciMane]

He answered the question as well as one possibly could.

I need to see the articles and the specifics of what they're criticizing.

I mean, he's not a big dude like Flacco and not tallish like Sheduer

And they are going to start looking like idiots prompting Dillon up over Shedeur based soley on their personal bias rather than actual talent.

It's not even personal bias it's the fact that they drafted him 3-4 rounds higher than anyone projected him. The GM is going to look incompetent if Gabriel is QB4 so he's going to get more of a shot than Shedeur.
