Could Sellers return next season?
- Thread starter sclawman77
- Start date
He might as well. I can't fathom any NFL team seeing him play & think he has a future as an NFL QB.
If he keeps making plays like he did against UF and UT, he'll get drafted.
We were paying close to 4 million supposedly. He could retire with just his NIL money if he saved it. His NFL career will probably be short, so he probably should take the 4 million here and then go.
Bear in mind, this is just thinking financially.
Some team in the NFL will always roll the dice on a player as freakishly athletic as Sellers. You can coach up skill. You can't make someone be as athletic as Sellers is, though. You either have it or you don't.
I'm sure a number of NFL coaches/GMs look at his athletic potential and feel he's been poorly developed and think they can unlock his potential.
I was pretty sold on Sellers needing to transfer and improve his draft stock after this season, but I think he has done a lot for his draft prospects the last few weeks. As it stands right now, I’d be pretty happy if he came back. I’ve always been high on Woods taking over the role after Sellers time, but think there may be attractive opportunities to go into the portal and get someone.
He honestly could probably play a couple of other positions. I was just thinking after that TD effort he has Debo type speed and strength.
If Sellers leaves we'll still probably be looking for a dual threat QB transfer.
What stoodnout to me was when you said "the last few weeks". This is was concerns me. He has had a run before of playing well for part of a season, then laid an egg the next seaon.
Now this year he's had sone questionable games, but played well the last couple weeks.
Simply put, he seems wildly inconsistent.
He is definitely inconsistent and there’s a good possibility something like that would happen next season. When he’s on though, he really does display some in matched attributes. I think even taking the good with the bad with Sellers is a better option than a lot of other quarterbacks.
Said plays were made as an athlete. He's made very few NFL-like QB plays.
He is the glaring reason for the losses we've had... If he plays decent, we win, if he sucks, we lose. Very inconsistent. I wish he could just see the field better and make the open throws... I just don't think it's coaching, but I'm not the one behind center. At least they're moving the pocket more and giving him the option to use his athleticism this year... Last year I totally thought they tried to make a pocket passer out of him - which he is not.
It almost reminds me of the interview with Deion regarding their QB after Colorado's game a couple of weeks ago.

For sure. He kept blowing coverages and letting MSU score at will. To the tune of 41 points. And he totally blew the 2 pt conversion defense against UK.
He’d be crazy not to come back.
Unless he can make in the first round,he would make a lot more money staying here.

I guess I shouldn't say the glaring reason for the losses... I should say the reason we didn't have a good chance to win....
He had what looked like simple opportunities to keep drives going, but held onto a ball too long or threw balls in the dirt, or just went completely blind regarding an open man over the middle multiple times. It's just frustrating because he has such potential.
I 100% agree the secondary has been less than stellar and killed us as well.
I wonder sometimes if he's just always looking for the big play, and it throws his judgement off...
He'll get drafted. There's no question. Just depends on what round
He did throw a couple bone head INT's against MSU when they were trying to get back in the game. But yes, we had/have other issues too.
Honestly dont remember much of UK.
Trolling for engagement again Lurker123? You seem to do alot of that these days.
He had a run of getting used the position as a starter and then turning awesome before Coach Shula decided it was time to make him more of a pure passer.
Sellers has been excellent this season overall.
He's had 13 TDs as a passer and only had 5 INTs -- which again is ahead of some big names like Manning.
He's best in class in the SEC as a QB runner.
He only has scored more points than the entire Clemson team this season.
Whether he goes NFL probably will depend on how he closes out the year and the number of high quality QBs in the draft.
I'm fuzzy on the details from each game. What I do know is if you score 30+ points, you should win.
SHOULD. I had a mentor who would react badly to that word being used.
But you are right. If I am a defense, I should be happy with my offense putting up 30.
I doubt he will be drafted as a QB. He will probably go to some team as a UDFA, and they will try to find a place for him, he could be some type of hybrid back probably. I doubt he will make $4 million a year in the NFL.
Botman - you can do better than this in trying to support silly frog comments. You've got a sea of accounts. Step up your game.
Someone will pick him up. Theres always a staff that thinks he just needs the right coaching.
LaNorris has tremendous athletic prowess; runs like a truck, elusive, big arm; BUT, his biggest problem has been inconsistency. He can have a great 3-game stretch, and then a horrible 3-game stretch where he's throwing it into the ground, overthrowing wide open receivers, and trouble reading through his progression. Dude is a stud, but unless he corrects the baffling inconsistency, he won't have a long shelf life in the NFL.
Not just in passing. There are times he runs like he refuses to be stopped, and then he'll run out of bounds yards short of a first down.
Like you said, baffling inconsistency.
I'd love to wager that he'll be a 1st round QB selection in the NFL draft. We can setup escrow.
This should be a very easy money for you given you liked the comment below in this thread:
"He might as well. I can't fathom any NFL team seeing him play & think he has a future as an NFL QB."
But the reality is that you won't because you really are just interested in trolling.
True, he has too much raw talent to not go in a draft, but in what round and at what price point will a team take a chance on him? I just do not think a team will chance a high round pick on him. A late round or UDFA contract looks possible, not at $4 million guaranteed money per season though.
I dont think he'll fall asleep far as UDFA. Other "project" qb's have gone higher.
But yeah, he should seriously consider the 4 million if we're foolish enough to offer it again.
His eventual short stint in the NFL can wait a year for that much money.
Ah, you're "me" now. Congratulations!
You've found the attention of a troll who's had a few different accounts on this board. His schtick is following me around and accusing half the board of being fake accounts, created by me. So called "bots".
You should feel honored. It usually means you've said something sensible. He cant stand that. Almost as much as he can't stand me ignoring him.

He thinks everyone other than himself is the same person.
I don't think we'll offer him 4 million again. It will be more than that.
