Most Draft Experts, MANY WHITE BY THE WAY, had him no worse than the 3rd QB taken.

I still would like to know why he was bypassed by so many teams that needed QBs. I understand those teams that are established at the position not wanting to have the distraction of Shedeur (not his fault) being a story all the time. But teams that clearly needed QBs passing on him is still "strange". Was he really acting the fool like that at interviews? I don't buy that. Even wilder less professional black QBs have gone high in the past, so what caused the drop?

We know one owner flat out said he didn't want him. But who else and why?

Nobody knows? :patrice:

Deion being a Heavy Republican and MAGA def don't sit well with me, but don't hold that against his kid.

In hindsight, Shedeur should've went into the draft last year.

he was predicted no worse than 3rd QB this year tho. He came back knowing he'd be one of the top QBs and was by all accounts until the draft. Really would like to know what caused the drop.

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

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

Shedeur has proven he can do the same shyt :dahell:

You all act like he's trash :scusthov: to justify the situation he's in.

There are a ton of QB's in the NFL who are bad. The problem with Shedeur is he doesn't have any "great" physical attributes. He doesn't have a cannon arm. He doesn't run a 4.3 40. He's not 6'4 240. Coaches and GM's are willing to overlook other flaws and legitimately try to develop you. If Lamar Jackson couldn't run, do you think Baltimore would've worked with him for so long? Michael Vick was one of the most inaccurate passers in the game when he played, but his physical ability gave him chances. Anthony Richardson should've been an undrafted free agent but his Physical traits made him a first round pick. Carson Wentz, Jeff George, i can go down the list.

But Shedeur doesn't get that grace. But you all expect him to come into the NFL playing like a pro bowler off the rip. The reason why Dak Prescott is the highest paid QB isn't because he's great. it's because coaches were willing to work with and develop him.

The Purdy argument is bad because there’s a huge difference:

It’s a lot easier to outplay a QB like Trey Lance for the position than it is to outplay a QB like Dillon Gabriel.

People are thinking about the Purdy and Shedeur comparison, but they more not looking at the Gabriel and Lance comparison.

At the end of the day Gabriel is someone who has good fundamentals and was the starter for Oregon. Beating someone like that who is making the right reads and minimal mistakes is tougher than going up against someone who only has throwing power and making bad costly decisions constantly.

Outplaying a good QB is difficult. This ain’t college where Larry Freshman is trying to take your QB role.


If Dillon is Tua like many say he is, then a Tua with mobility and no injury history is an incredible QB to compete against.

Game tape.
His father doing an interview saying where he will and won't play.
His father doing an interview saying he would only be willing to coach the team his son played for in the nfl when nobody asked him to coach in the nfl.
All the fukkery you heard about him during the draft process.
Having every offense you ever played in curated by your father to make you look good which sure as shyt aint going to happen in the nfl.

I promise yall those aren’t one offs, social media is filled with those kind of comments today, on every damn platform
:snoop:

I still don't get how Prime stans think this sort of shyt benefits the Sanders boys in any shape or form? :snoop:

The fact Shedeur's head coach actually had to respond to the claim he was actively trying to sabotage his own player (and has probably seen all the viral tweets accusing him being racist on social media) does him no good whatsoever.





Great news for Shedeur. And why the reactionary takes from the other day suddenly look stupid now.

I read all these comments and many are going to bat for a QB with below average pocket presence, arm and legs? Compared to elite pros. Much better hills to die on than this brehs.

  • Composite arm talent, while very good, falls short of the quantifiably elite mark.
  • Doesn’t have elite speed, change of direction, or flexibility in the creation phase.
  • At times, can be a tick late to process and trigger on route breaks.
  • Needs to quicken his internal clock and avoid taking unnecessary sacks.


This was written in September 2024 and we are debating the same things nearly a year later. If he was good enough, they'd make every accommodation for him.

You said it. We're seeing why, if a team didn't have him projected as a future starter they probably stay away to avoid all the noise for a backup QB. So let's say 10 teams projected him as a potential starter in the next couple years, but half of them already had their starting QB. That leaves you with 5 teams and Sheduer's team had him playing hard to get.

Not saying any of this is right, but it's how teams look at shyt

You keep mentioning his draft projections, that shyt was always a fallacy in defense of Deion and his media relationships.


The hold Deion has on football media is actually fascinating, no snark.


Crazy

I don't know how we all watched the Buffs play and saw different shyt, I truly believe folks was trusting Primes media friends over their own eyes. We were calling that shyt out last year...

That’s cause they friends with Deion. Dude holds the ball way too long, he always rolls out the wrong way or drops back too far making the o line look bad. And his deep ball accuracy is suspect, all his shyt is under thrown.

Id love to see the GM who picks him as the first QB
:wow:
