Shedeur is still 4th string in Cleveland.
- Thread starter HBK4life_rivals100467
- Start date
If he moves back to Boulder, he’ll never have to pay for another meal. He’s a hero there - number retired, winning season, drafted, the Buffs have never had a qb of his caliber. He’s their Frazier.
I sure hope Junior Prime didn't blow all of his money. He's gonna need it in the immediate future.
Cleveland is such a loser franchise its hard to take anything they do serious. Not a Sanders fan to say the least, but 5th? On that shiddy list? We'll see.
Dont tell Mel Kiper he still sucks.
Legendary.
I wonder if he was keeping receipts?I sure hope Junior Prime didn't blow all of his money. He's gonna need it in the immediate future.
With Watson added to the mix as well, I am reminded of the old saying..." When you have 6 quarterbacks, you don't have a quarterback.."

4th string
Browns announce unofficial depth chart for Week 1 of the preseason vs. the Panthers https://share.google/HldR6SQUFMGRAgVuh
The Browns traded out of the 2nd pick of the draft. Recouped a ton of picks which helped after they signed that sleeze Watson. Then drafted two QBs in the middle rounds, both of who are looking like busts early on. And they still have a bad offensive line.
Dont tell Mel Kiper he still sucks.
Honorable mention to a 6th QB- DeShawn Watson and his $73 million dollar, fully guaranteed cap hit. He could be back toward the end of the season!
Yeah...I watched the draft too. I watched them pass on arguably the best player in the draft and reach on Gabriel. Such a Brown set of moves.
Sanders being 5th string isn't nearly as hilarious as Kenny Pickett being listed as a Super Bowl champ.
Although, that knee he took at the end was epic!

I have heard conflicting reports. From just camp stats, he has performed well regarding completion %, TD-int ratio. But hasn’t received any snaps with the 1s, and supposedly has been a bit behind coming up to speed with the offensive plan.
I think Shedeur has more NFL upside than Gabriel, but neither would look good if forced to play on a bad team as rookies. Whether they eventually make it is still to be determined, but the odds say no.

How about Kordell Stewart who was a bigger winner that played in the NFL and didn't need "daddy-ball" to tailor the team to getting him stats?
I thought the sarcasm was pretty clear in my post
I think Shedeur absolutely could have had an NFL career if Deion would have sent him to a top program with a good head coach and OC, where he could learn to be a QB. But he's just played sandlot football the past few years, and told that everything he did was fantastic. The talent is there, but the time to coach him up has probably come and gone.
With his name and connections he could have a 15 year career just as a backup, with a few spot starts here and there. Not a bad way to make 30 million dollars.
In retrospect, Kordell Stewart was an excellent college QB, as well as being known as a consumate pro and great teammate. We had otherworldly defensive matchups that made him look bad, but he seems way better than Sanders by comparison. Twitter is crazy though. For every post reporting he's 5th string, there's 10 more posts showing him throwing dots.
Dave Humm from NU, and Booger Daniel from Mizzou made tons of money holding kicks or clipboards.
But NFL teams don't want drama from their backup QB. They didn't even want to keep Tim Tebow around for that reason, and that would have been nothing compared to the reality TV series they would be getting with Shedeur.
They hold Kordell in higher regard than Sanders I think.
Yeah, that would be the big issue. Being a long term backup really just means that you shut up, you don't cause issues, you are not good enough to actually PUSH the starter and you pretty much do what the coaches ask of you.
Or Darian Hagan. Shedeur went 13-12 as the starter at CU. Darian Hagan went 28-5-2, over 3 seasons, including 20-0-1 in the Big 8, while Stewart went 27-5-1. Even CU fans can do the math on who their Frazier was even if their administration can't based on whose jersey they opted to retire.
He’s got daddy’s money and he can always pawn his watch and purseI sure hope Junior Prime didn't blow all of his money. He's gonna need it in the immediate future.

He's starting game 1. My guess is he does OK. But who knows. I'm not super high on him but as a 4 or 5th rounder definitely worth the risk. If he can survive in Cleveland he will be just fine. Lord knows they could mess up a wet dream.
Holla
Cleveland got pressured into drafting Sha "der duh der" Sanders. He would have been available in the 7th round.
If the kid can play, steal of the entire draft...and how stupid will the Steelers look for passing on him?
Heard he's starting because Gabriel and Pickett are hurt. Flacco is #1 and not going to play. Of course, that could just be a cover for the coaches being pressured to give Sanders a shot because, you know, the Browns are the Browns.
Perhaps getting passed through so many rounds may have humbled him but I don't see him grabbing a spot on the 53.
Also, it blows my mind with Fidone getting drafted. The NY Giants could have saved a chunk of cash grabbing him as an UDFA.
If Winston could stick around this long, don’t count Sanders out to do the same.
As a Steelers fan I would've drafted him in round 4. He was steal after round 3 imo.

If you needed a QB, and few teams needed one more than the Steelers, ya.
Even if he flamed out nobody woulda called it dumb at round 3 or 4. You gotta try something. Where else are the Steelers ever going to get an opportunity to draft or aquire a QB with no risk, like SS would been in round 4(ish).?
