    Character concerns though… right? Unless you listen to BB21 no one thought he didn’t project at rd 1-2 talent at QB but the concerns were his character and the drama that might surround him. While part of that might spin as the showtime brand the kid does seem immature.

    Regarding Jacksonville I think their defense is getting credit it has yet to earn.

    No doubt drama was an issue, pre draft did he get into any trouble though? I really didn't follow him much until draft day but for sure he was projected to be #1 for awhile on my Draft Kings betting app

    I remember hearing talk from guys that cover the NFL saying that Shedeur went into some of his pre-draft interviews with a sense of an entitlement and that he really rubbed teams the wrong way with how he handled answering their questions. Sort of like he was doing them a favor by being there and not the other way around.

    Then after each interview, someone connected with these pre-draft interviews made sure that word got out that this was how Sanders was comporting himself to teams and at that point it wasn't really surprising that it all spiraled out of control like it did.

    I'd say that perhaps every NFL hall of fame player, especially on offense, wants to be coached and coached hard. They want to learn, and grow in their chosen profession to help them win football games and make good money. Yes some hall of fame players and coaches got into arguments, but i doubt if that was ever a large percentage of the time.

    While Sanders it seems, almost had the attitude that he would come into the NFL, and he would teach the coaches how to play the game. 😆

    Definitely in the running for Sports Talk hilarious post of the year.

    Although you may not get any votes from Patriots fans. 😂

    Sanders' performance on Friday was nothing spectacular. He made a couple of nice throws, seemed to demonstrate that he could throw running to his right. He also got caught from behind by two DL's which makes me wonder how fast he is. I'm sure he didn't expect that to happen.

    What sticks with most is this: probably half of the players on the field for that game will eventually be cut in the next three weeks.

    Online radio - click on your home radio station for the broadcast audio, or any NFL team's home radio station for their broadcast audio. Often the announcers are much more interesting than TV announcers.

    But the best part is they will probably
    get much more out of him than out of that ridiculously stupid and wasted 3rd round pick with Gabriel lol

    JMHO, Dillon Gabriel is a very talented QB, he is just too short to be seriously considered as an NFL QB. As far as talent, I view him as past Sanders but the height issue can't be changed. Sanders is young so he can be coached to be a better player and with experience will eclipse Gabriel.

    It just begs the question as to WTH were the Browns thinking grabbing him at 3?

    Obviously they didn't know about the Judkins situation but had they spent that pick on another player they might be in a better situation

    In Browns camp you got Flacco who is what 82 years old now?
    Picket who is HORRIBLE
    Gabriel
    Huntley?
    Sanders

    Maybe Johnny Manziel is still available?

    I haven't been this excited for a Viking season since the fall of 2009.

    If McCarthy can play at a 90 to 105 QB rating consistently, they are going to do very well.

    As important, the depth that they have established across the board, thanks to unloading bloated QB contracts.

    Enjoy your collection!

    Hi Erik

    I'm rooting for McCarthy
