OT: NFL

[IUPNation]

I think what seems to be lost on a lot of people is Shedeur just hasn’t shown a true NFL starter skill set and nobody wants a popular backup. He only participated in throwing sessions for scouts on his terms leading up to the draft. Why? Because they’re trying to hide some things. On top of that, reports are many of his interviews with teams weren’t good and then there’s the Deion factor. Remember, everyone loves the backup QB and the second whoever is starting ahead of Shedeur struggles, you’ll hear Deion, the national media, and the local fan base screaming for him to get in the game. It will be a PR nightmare and coaches and teammates will get tired of having to answer questions about why the kid isn’t starting.

I think there’s a legitimate chance he doesn’t get drafted at all, although I wouldn’t bet on it just given the relationships Deion still has. Someone will do him a solid and give the kid a shot. For what it’s worth, this situation is quite a shot at Mel Kiper’s credibility. He had Shedeur as his #5 overall and has been acting like a knucklehead trying to justify it ever since. Hey, maybe in the long run he’ll be proven right but I just don’t see it.

I’m hoping Jerruh and the Cowturds draft him creating more of a 💩🌩️ in DallASS.

This isn't about giving him a shot. Round 1? Probably not.

But, he should have been gone by now. He's certainly a Day 2 talent. There's obviously way more to this than football.

Some of the QBs taken ahead of him at this point are jokes.

It's a grand F U to Deion. He's a total steal at this point.

He's a diva but no worse than most WRs, etc.

I'd don't know about steal. The kid has only played in shotgun/ 5 WR sets his whole career. He's never had to read a pro style defense. Also, talent wise he's average at best. Probably no better than a fringe #2 and most likely a 3 on a good roster.

Regardless of my resume, if I started my career being smug towards potential interviewers with hints of nepo baby, I don't think I'd get many offers.

He sounds like he has a 6th grade education when he talks.

Very odd for his upbringing.

Stephen A. Smith on a tirade ... says Kaepernick all over again.

Teams passing on Sanders is defensible; he takes a ton of sacks and there are varying views on the rest of his passing ability. The Saints drafting a 7-year guy who’s going to be 26 in September and wasn’t even that good in college is pretty stupid though.

[Fightingscot82]

I think teams have wised up and are avoiding proven and potential locker room cancers. I'll throw Rodgers into that group.

It's the only thing I've read about this. Smith says it's collusion but I think it's just a team decision by all 32 teams.

The Browns QB room is a total 💩🌩️.

[Chuck Norris]

Steelers choose Will Howard to sit and learn behind ARod and Rudolph. It’ll be interesting to see if Howard ever takes meaningful snaps for Pittsburgh or will they be in position to take a true franchise QB in next year’s (allegedly) much stronger QB class.

Somehow you just knew he was going to end up in Cleveland. I’ll bet Kenny Pickett is thrilled about this. It’s going to be a three-way battle for the starting job. In the long run, this might have been the best landing spot for Shedeur.

Four-way. They drafted another QB, too (ahead of Prime Jr.)

It’s no wonder why the same AFC teams always near the top, the absolute worst run franchises in the league are all in the AFC. Is the Chefs making it to the Super Bowl so often really that great of a feat? They have the easy road.
