  • Officially named the starter for the SF game so let's see how does with better competition. Schwartz has Shanahan's number so he'll get some help there.

    Well, now the stadium will be full and rockin'.  For a while at least.  

    I think it's a good idea.  The plan was to give him some starts sometime before the season was over. (a few weeks back I had predicted the 49'er game)  Although Stef probably wanted to go a little longer with Gabriel, since Sanders had to play last week...and the team actually won the game...for continuity's sake, this might as well be his audition period.  How long it will last will depend on how well he plays...and to some extent, whether the team wins or loses.  

    The circus is coming to Cleveland this Sunday at 1:00  🙂

    Sanders played a kind of a nice game his first start. I see, imho, a few problems he has to overcome despite that - a bit of a mental clock problem, and a little bit of lead feet until he gets going. With experience, if he can get past those, it will be interesting, but watching him a lot in college, it was there, too. We all hope he shows improvement. Fannin is now the #1 TE per their depth chart - no surprise here. He had 4 catches, 40 yards, ran the ball once for 4 yards. He's an amazing, smart guy.

    what I liked from last week, Was he stepped up in the pocket and threw the ball away if need be and only took one sack

    OBR's take on what is possible for this long suffering franchise.

    Yeah, that sums it up nicely: Still the most likely scenario is us trying to draft Mendoza...but Sanders has a chance to change that.

    Again, this isn't just my opinion - many of the draft analysts (including McShay for quite a while & Kiper) plus the 2 draft mags I purchased all had Sanders as a 1st round QB from a talent standpoint, amount of starting experience, accuracy throwing depicted in his #1 comp % in college football.  Not only that, his OC at Colorado was an OC & HC in the NFL (Pat Shurmur) dating back to when he was the OC of the top scoring offense in Philly.  

    The major worry/flaw beside the tendency to hold onto the ball too long and get sacked was his dad.  When he did the Super Bowl rounds telling people he didn't want his son to play for certain types of teams - guess what types of teams needed to draft a QB?  That sabotaged his son's draft status IMO but I know a lot of people shared this thinking...

    I would be ECSTATIC if Sanders got the chance to be the QB he is capable of becoming.  We've seen some good signs while we understand the work to be done needs to continue 1 week at a time.  

    My dream is for us to not need to draft a QB (EVEN MENDOZA) so we can draft the obvious things we need.  

  • Bring Pat Shurmur in as OC next year, have Swartz be the HC

    Could you imagine the absolute zoo it would be here if Deion Sanders was named head coach?

    It would soooooo be a Jimmy Haslam move.

    One of the local guys yesterday on The Fan suggested the idea - because he thought it would totally be something Jimmy would do - and now I randomly break out in a cold sweat anytime I think about it. ?

    You just parted the Red Sea again with that one Moses. I kind of instigated it though. Cheers!

    ? Are you saying it hasn't been one?   

    Tell you what - he'd be our best punt return man right now if Jimmy hired him as a Head Coach & Player Coach.

    This might be my favorite thread this year.  Just when I thought nothing could be more outrageous than Jerry's Palace in Dallas - Jimmy gets a wild hair up his ass that he wants Deion stylin more gold on the sideline than any of the local jewelry stores have combined.

    Stay tuned?   If ya haven't lost us yet - you ain't gonna...

    Well hey... Ray Horton had 2 separate stints here... Nothing would surprise me... Anything is possible , right?

    BINGO!  Anything is possible Nicks!  We've seen it all since in our lifetime as fans. ?

    That was a "Were we sure he was really that bad?  Let's dot the i here and rehire him to make sure he really stunk." 

    They did!  He did!  Lucky us!

    I'm the knucklehead that brought him up in this thread. This was only to illustrate Shedeur's OC in college had some success as an NFL OC; so that's not the worst person for a QB preparing to play in the NFL to learn from in his last 2 years of college football.

    Having said that, I still haven't forgiven Shurmur for punting the football on 4th and 1 at the Colts 38 yard line midway through the 4th quarter down by 13 or 14 points.  This was against the 31st ranked run D.   So... Of course the Browns punted it into the end zone for a touchback.  Was there ever any doubt?  

    If we ever want to try a previous Coach here - Brian Daboll was the guy that developed Josh Allen in Buffalo.  He never had the same fortune with the Giants in his next gig.  That said, Tommy Rees hasn't done bad with him UNLESS that 2 point conversion without Shedeur on the field was his idea.
