Sheduer dropping like a lead weight

They do have a bad track record, But Sanders as a WHOLE is not a first round talent....

It's a crap shoot

He might end up being successful. No one knows

Exactly, If you were a CEO and you had 2 prospects for hire where 1 checked all the boxes you wanted and the other didn't then you obviously pick the prospect that checks the boxes. The cowboys did not want to invest in that but you can't blame them when they got Dak, Grier and Milton...

They probably know the QB's coming in the following years will be better...

I get it...but their boxes have a terrible success rate.

I bet the league has passed up so many guys with moxie that had 'it' all because of some boxes.

Personally, I think a lot of football has been wasted trying to force pocket passers to succeed in this league.

I'm not pro-athlete qb, I like the look of stand in the pocket QB and don't want it going away, but too many teams' seasons have been wasted chasing these guys.

Shedeue isn't an athletic, running QB...but could he have the moxie to overcome the difficulties of the position at the NFL level...maybe.

Tall pocket passer with a cannon hasn't produced much success.

I'm sure scouts are already dialed into guys whom seem to not get rattled and process the game well...that's where I would be looking....and not getting blinded by measurements or certain traits.

I just read this. It is common knowledge to draftniks and alike that they will try to trick you on the mock installs of playbooks. How someone so connected already to the world of football and particularly the NFL wouldn't have seen this coming as part of a test is amazing.

I think Deion really did not prepare him at all for these simple widely known traps they put in place to test how aware and football savvy the QBs need to be.

I agree that shedeue should have spotted easy to fairly easy ones...

It doesn't say which he failed...im assuming easy and hard ones...

But, like you said, how are the Sanders so out of the loop in this stuff? No colleague or friend of Deion in the business passed word along? What about Deions old agent, assuming he had one.

The story doesn't make sense at all.

No one responded to my post asking about how deion and shedeur could get this far on vanilla playbooks and/or not copying some of the tricks other teams were doing against them. Teams have to watch film.


My point is, you can't play football your whole life and not pick up on tricks or the trade.

Reddit is making it sound like shedeur and deion know high school level football. I don't know if I buy that. Because it seems hard to believe Deion wouldn't get blasted at Colorado for having such low level iq teams.

Something doesn't add up

your blind devotion to Sanders does not add up
you refuse to admit that character concerns are a serious question at any position let alone QB

There has not been one single account from anyone that said he did well at ANY OF THE MEETINGS. NOT ONE.

And you don't think that does NOT get around?

If a QB has problems acting like a professional, you are not going to risk serious money and a high draft choice on him

Sanders blew all the interviews and THAT is why he fell so far

You seem unable to accept that.

FACT: Sanders is not that physically gifted compared to those like Milroe and so on.
FACT: his father has acted like a pain in the butt; talking about how he would not allow his son to go to certain teams.
add to that the screwed up interviews and no one with any common sense should question why he fell
