But

Gabriel has been freaking amazing in college. The stats are just that - amazing.

Both.  Colorado had one of the very worst Olines in the power 5.  

Sanders also took sacks vs shouldn't have. 

And they had no running game to balance their attack; because of that crappy Oline you speak of.

I didn't watch that much of Sanders the last two seasons, but is his taking senseless sacks him playing hero ball or because his OLine at Colorado was horrible and he developed bad habits?

I’ll wait for Sanders 11 on 11 in pads running around like Fran Tarkenton but taking sacks with bigger stronger faster guys chasing him before I give an opinion.  And then we will hear how we need to completely rebuild the entire offensive line before we judge his abilities.

Gabriel seems to possess the ability to get the ball out more so than the Sanders tape.  3/4 senseless sacks a game is no way to jumpstart our offense

I think we need a combination of the two. God would look favorably on San Gabriel as the Browns new starting QB.?

I was pretty surprised to hear him say that...

In the video I just posted Zac Jackson said that Sanders threw the ball better than Gabriel, it was pretty obvious to him. 

Should be an interesting training camp. 

So long as it gets the clicks, people will say whatever.  

Of course, I say that just as soon as I find Barstool picked up our SPS model and tweeted it a couple hours ago.  Our site hits exploded LOL

Example 1145 why Ken Carmen is full of shit.  Great way to manifest a talking point though.

Listening to Ken Carmen today on 92.3 on my way to work this morning and he said that in his years following the Browns as a media member (pre-Baker) that Gabriel has the strongest arm he's seen on a Browns QB.

Main concern is the height of course

Ha,ha.  It's a Gabriel thread and nobody's talking about him.  

Actually, after the Sanders pick, it kinda' sucks to be Gabriel.  But if, in fact, Sanders was a Haslem pick, then Gabriel will have the coach & GM on his side.  

We do get easily sidetracked…

I’m ok with the Gabriel pick. He excels at the profession of quarterbacking, and you need guys like that to push the other guys on the team to excel at quarterbacking too. And maybe he is an excellent quarterback? Who knows. 

Trust me.

I think there are a lot of extracurriculars that come with Shedeur Sanders. 

- Music

- Cars

- Social Media 

- The Entourage 

That was all on his Colorado money, That shit is gone..

I can't help but see a leprechaun every time I look at Dillon Gabriel...

At some point, the above become something for many professional athletes, but rookies need to be focused. 

I saw a video of Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders training together. Sanders asked Ward, "Do you make music?" Ward said, "No." Sanders said, "What do you do for fun?" Ward said, "I play football." Sanders replied, "What about your hobbies?" Ward said, "I told you. I play football."

I can't verify if any of Ward's answer are 100% true just like I can't verify my opinion of the potential distractions Shedeur Sanders has in his life. 32 General Managers feel the same.

I think it's fair to question the hunger of a rich kid that grew up playing Daddy Ball and Shedeur Sanders is the ultimate example of the rich kid that has played Daddy Ball. Most Daddy Ball stops sometime before HS. The Sanders kept it going through college. There's nothing wrong that it happened, but it can't be denied as a red flag.

Deion was very successful at Jackson St and created the blueprints to resurrect Colorado. 

We shall see what happens without Travis Hunter on the field.

Great post man!

Believe it or not, I listed him 1st on my list of Flugel's Favorite Untalked about Fellers.  How about these eye popping numbers in 2024:

13 games 117 rec 1555 yards 10 TD

I also listed the QB that's an inch taller than Russell Wilson was on draft day and 2 inches taller than Tom Thumb.  Regardless of the bandwagon chomping at the bits to height snob him - his experience volume, success in 3 different programs and punctuation of it all going undefeated in the Big 10 plus winning the Conference Championship reflects a guy that deserves a shot IMO... If height was an issue - I think I'd see more INTs than I do below.

Fanin’s going to be really good for us and I don’t think Gabriel’s height will hurt him much either. I hope he does well.
