<![CDATA[To Shedeur, or not to Shedeur? (draft)]]> ...that is the question.  Whether 'tis noble......'nuff of that.  🙂

There are still two more games to play for evaluating Sanders.  I really want to say, I've seen enough...but of course, that's not the right mindset.  Especially with our imminent high first round draft pick upcoming in April, and at least one QB that most really like out there to be drafted.  But what is it that we want to see out of Shedeur in these last two games?  

He's a rookie.  Playing on one of the worst offensive teams in the league.  With probably the worst offensive line and WR corps in the league.  With those facts in hand, What would anyone expect to see from him?  He can't magically make those two groups any better.  And they are CRUCIAL to a QB's success.  In all honesty, I just want to see him reach the end of the season without any of his body parts getting broken to pieces.

Here's what I've seen:

A QB that doesn't look like the game is too big or fast for him.  He looks poised and under control.

A guy who tries to make plays when the play is not unfolding like it should.  And he actually does just that a few times a game.

I'm pleasantly surprised by him at the podium behind the microphone.  He's humble about the things that he didn't get right during games.  He's thankful for where he's at and appreciates the chance that he's given.  He doesn't throw anyone under the bus, not players, positions or coaches.  He stands behind and supports them all.  He's also quick to point out when a reporter is asking a question that is looking for him to throw shade,  You're just looking to start trouble he'll say, with a smile and a laugh.  Maan, I like that!  

I can imagine the pressure that he was under when given the chance to start.  A person who's draft became a mockery.  All kinds of pundits and talking heads saying how bad he was.  He's handled it all remarkably well.

I like him! (so far)  And according to reports, his team mates like and support him.  I would like to move forward with him.  I'd like to see them attack the offseason with the mindset of getting Shedeur Sanders the protection and tools that a QB needs to be successful.  Drake Maye was not incredibly successful in his first season.  Most QB's aren't. And  I actually think that he's a great fit for Cleveland.  He's a college star who's been jilted and tarnished, but he doesn't let and won't let that affect him and his attitude towards the game.  He doesn't act like he's got a chip on his shoulder.  He doesn't need to be angry to provide himself with a spark and direction.  Again, I like that!

In the final two games I'd like to see him continue what he's doing.  Take the check down passes.  Don't try to prove yourself by throwing downfield to guys that can't get open because it's THE THING that you need to do to keep the starting QB job throughout the offseason.  Just continue to learn, grow, and not be the reason that the team loses. 

I want him.

I don't dislike Sanders, but watching him a lot in college, and with the Browns....

some things are a concern - his decision making is slow, pocket awareness just doesn't seem up to par all too often, ....I think he may be more of a backup qb.

If he became an above average starting QB, it would help offset the damage caused by the Watson trade. He'll be very cheap the next three seasons.

But I have a feeling the Browns aren't going to stand pat and just go with Sanders or Watson this season. At the least, they will try and fail to bring in someone to start over them.

Kiper stopped by ESPN Cleveland to further defend Sanders once again.

He believes Sanders showed everything you’d want in a franchise QB in his rookie year and warned fans not to listen to the doubters.

“The way he competed? The arm strength? In those weather conditions? [Shedeur Sanders] didn’t have an issue there. In terms of mobility and athleticism, he showed that. To me, I don’t know what else you could want. Is he the quarterback of the future? I think he is, the doubters and the haters will be out there saying he’s not,” Kiper said.

Yeah, that was a joke too.   Wasn't that the last actual tackle football game of the pro bowl.

Look, I actually like Sanders...but I don't think that he should've been named to the pro bowl.  So whatever the mechanism is that got Sanders the pro bowl title to his name ( whomever wants to go to the pro bowl step forward.  And everyone but Sanders takes a step back ) should be trashed....like the whole pro bowl event thingy itself.  Just announce the All Pro selections.  And then the respective pro bowl squads, AFC & NFC, and that's it.  If ya want, the All Pro's get and All Pro ring...and the rest get a Pro Bowl ring.  -  My 2 cents.

I guess this would imply Huntley was a DEI.

What this tells you is

a) pro bowl is essentially meaningless award

b) the vast majority of people dont know how alternate works at this point.  Lawrence was already an alternate, so this means he declined 

I didn't think of that, Lawrence declining. But the pro bowl is worse than a farce, now.

"

One player in particular who jumps out is Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence.

His team was 13-4, and Lawrence is a league MVP nominee. Using PFSN’s QB Impact Metric, we can see that he is ranked 16th overall among all QBs this season, while Sanders is ranked 46th.

48 NFL quarterbacks qualified for PFSN’s QB Impact metric in 2025.

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-did-shedeur-sanders-make-pro-bowl/

"

Before today, Patriots QB Drake Maye, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, and Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert were the three QBs listed on the AFC’s Pro Bowl roster. With Maye going to the Super Bowl, his spot needed to be filled, hence why Sanders had the opportunity to be named to the roster. Still, there was more that led to Sanders being the NFL’s choice:

The AFC’s Pro Bowl QBs were Drake Maye, Josh Allen, and Justin Herbert.

Maye is going to the Super Bowl. The other two are banged up. We’ll see if they stay.

Bo Nix got injured.
Patrick Mahomes is injured.
Daniel Jones is injured.

That’s how it trickles down to Shedeur… https://t.co/YdPE9vv4cd

— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) January 26, 2026

As NFL insider Ari Meirov lays out, Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, and Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones are all injured. All three of these options could have, and probably would have, been the names the NFL chose from, but instead, this honor went to Sanders."

**************************************************

and now, for that great point:

"Looking at other options the NFL had, even with the three QBs above being injured, it’s hard to argue that Sanders was more deserving. One player in particular who jumps out is Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence.

His team was 13-4, and Lawrence is a league MVP nominee. Using PFSN’s QB Impact Metric, we can see that he is ranked 16th overall among all QBs this season, while Sanders is ranked 46th.

*****************************************

so, Lawrence is the wrong skin color when the NFL had a chance to be bigoted again? (referring to the way the superbowl halftimes have been going, the political messages on helmets....)
