I still don't understand how Tom Brady could apparently be of his mentors yet his technique and pocket awareness is so fukking sloppy. It's like some of them are trying to play like Mahomes when those guys are called generational athletes for a reason. He arguably has the best accuracy in his class, his game should literally be a carbon copy of Tua, Kirk, Goff etc. Guys with elite processing speed who get the ball out quick and on time.
To think the Sanders cult were claiming he's as good as Joe Burrow when these are all things he excels at.
Once again, at what point do we start holding Prime accountable for his son's failures? Lamar having issues with his mechanics and drop backs are understandable given he came from abject poverty and had to fight every step of the way to play QB. Why is a QB with a father who actually has the resources/connections/clout to get elite-level coaching having similar flaws?
Just because someone is your mentor doesnt mean you can do what they do, a qb coach is there to tighten up mechanics and simple shyt, you still have to play, and as one former qb said(i can’t remember if it was Kurt Warner or someone else) you are who you are when the heat is on, when it’s t shirt and shorts you look like Joe Montana when it’s a muddy pocket or the heat is coming, you can’t figure out the defense, they took your first and second read, old habits creep back in
Accuracy is relative and he threw too many passes high, low and behind for me to think that, Travis being his number 1 target (with a wide catch radius) made him look better
I don’t know what role Deion played in his coaching and his taking to coaching, because his first goal is to win not necessarily developing his qb, i have no clue what it was like there, and none of us do, could have been as helpful as any qb would need could have been a shyt show with lil sanders telling the oc he gon do what tf he wants, the truth is probably in the middle
You don't get it. It's an indictment on Coach Prime. He played for him since he was in youth league.
A lot of Sanders flaws can be corrected. But teams are not just looking at him as a player, they're looking at the systems he played in and the fact that his father was the head coach. They probably looked and the numerous offensive coordinators who got fired, demoted, or quit under Coach Prime.
NFL Scouts were in Colorado every week. And it wasn't a problem.
I think the media tour Coach Prime went on turned off a lot of people. Shedeur isn't an elite athlete, and you can't compare his journey to a Tom Brady because that's something you can't duplicate. If Drew Bledsoe doesn't get hurt, who knows how is career would've played out.
You look at a player like Bryce Young. Basically, the same skillset. But Bryce is the number one pick, got benched, and now he's the starter again. The NFL is a business. Honestly, Shedeur would've been better off going undrafted. At least he could've had a chance to pick where he wanted to go. He signed a 4 year deal. So if the NFL was out to sabotage him, they could keep him on the roster until he's 28, then not resign him. He becomes a free agent, and no teams pick him up. Or a team that already has a starter signs him as a backup.
Shedeur doesnt have the same skill set as Bryce, Bryce could fit a football in a key hole, and he could make things happen with his leg, and he could navigate a muddy pocket/broken play and still keep his eyes downfield to make a throw
This kid has probably worked with some of the best qb coaches and ocs, he was a 3 star at best, he’s probably hit his ceiling, and even with tightened up mechanics he’s probably a serviceable back up, collect your checks learn the game finish your degree (if he didn’t) and get into coaching like your dad
