I can't take anyone seriously who says this about a player in rookie camp. Like who is out their trying to stop him? The wind?
I saw clips of him throwing and his mechanics looked bad
plus drafting a qb in 2nd is basically saying Purdy needs to go
I thought my sarcasm would be easy to see here lol...
add this too that post if it wasn't obvious enough
One day when you have nothing better to do, wade through the various posts here. A surprising number of look as though they should be sarcastic, but when you read on they obviously aren't. Spoken sarcasm is easily detected, written sarcasm needs an indicator. Particularly online where people read quickly then pass it by.

I don't see why people are complaining about the media coverage of Shedeur Sanders. When the NFL owners called themselves teaching Shedeur Sanders a lesson by putting their collective thumbs on the draft scale, instead of allowing the draft to progress organically, they GUARANTEED this media hunger about Shedeur Sanders. Anyone paying attention know full well that no QB not named Cam Ward had any business being taken before Shedeur Sanders. Nobody with any football knowledge actually believes that Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe, or Dillon Gabriel are better than Shedeur Sanders. Hell, people like myself don't think Cam Ward (who I think has bust factor written all over him) is a better QB than Shedeur Sanders. So the way I see it, the NFL did this to themselves. So cry me a Mississippi river. When the owners exposed their insecurities (triggered by being the same room with a confident Black man) by pulling this draft stunt they invited a Shedeur Sanders media frenzy. So I don't wanna hear from butt-hurt commentators b!tch!ng about the media coverage of Shedeur Sanders. Go direct all that belly-aching to the NFL owners who manufactured a clear 1st round talent's fall to the 5th round simply because a kid's confidence exposed their insecurities.

Um, no. Are you really saying that the owners got together and agreed to force him down to the 5th? And why the 5th? Sanders and his show is what did it, not the owners. And, by the by, are you actually saying that it was caused by the guy being a confident black man? The league is full of confident black men nowadays.
Sanders, for my money, was a 2nd round pick before he started screwing up the interviews and before his Father started stirring things up. And that combination caused the few teams who were prepared to take a quarterback in the early rounds to back out. And who can blame them?

It's funny that you mention these so-called bad interviews. There have been many players that completely bombed interviews far worse than Shedeur yet it didn't it drop them like this. And yes, reports have long come out that owners instructed their draft teams to take Shedeur off their boards, including teams that hadn't even interviewed Shedeur.
Now, I'm not arguing that Shedeur was handled with racist gloves. I don't agree that he was. Nor am I saying that the owners are racists (though I have my suspicions about some). But there's a clear racial component to this. There's a nuanced difference. When white plays/family's directed their draft as the Sanders attempted to they weren't taken off drafted boards. They were allowed to experience the draft organically like every other player, and we know many of their draft interviews didn't go well either. So I can't accept that Shedeur's slid to the 5th round was due a bad interview.
I have long joked that if you wanna see powerful white men expose their insecurities you put them in a room with a successful, confident Black man. America never liked, but has never known what to do with successful, confident Black men. So the one thing successful confident Black men experience is what the world watched Shedeur experience - sabotage. Sabotage is timeless tool successful Black men have been enduring since the chains were taken off. What drives many in white America isn't just a Black man's success, it's the undeniable supreme confidence that he wears on his shoulders when he walks in the room. Back in the Jim Crow era they called them "uppity" n-words. Many were lynch on that alone.
Everything we know about how Shedeur was raised we know he's a very humble kid, no scandals, great leader, no police encounters, no baby mommas out there, respectful, openly God-fearing, all on top of that being a 1st round talent to boot. All his teammates and coaches loved him at every level. There's actually no bad stories about the kid. But when Shedeur Sanders walked into the rooms with these powerful owners and coaches displaying groomed supreme confidence they simply couldn't contain their insecurities and he was summarily taken off draft boards "to be taught a lesson". Instantly, Shedeur's "sense of entitlement" and "arrogance" became worse than domestic violence, DUI's, failed drug tests, police encounters, poor character, or injury concerns.
You're 2nd round grade on him is fair. A lot of people had good reasons for a 2nd round grade on Shedeur for good reasons, and I would not have been shocked if he fell to the 2nd. But simply a bad interview don't explain that kind of slide for that kind of talent, especially when you cannot point to anything other than that as an excuse.

Respectfully, this is perhaps the most absurd argument for his slide yet, IMHO. Firstly, I never once believed that Deion would be coaching in the NFL. "Neon Deion" wasn't particularly like by the NFL owners when he was playing. They despise him as a coach. I think when Deion was asked about coaching in the NFL and he answered "only to coach my sons" he knew the chances of a team drafting both of his sons was 0% because he knew no team would do that. And secondly, Deion himself has NO desire to coach at the NFL level, which he's said on multiple occasions. Lastly, after Deion made that statement this became wholly media driven. Coaches didn't downgrade him because they were afraid that Deion would take their job. That can't explain the slide to the 5th because only a handful of teams actually needed QB's, and some of the teams that did he didn't want Shedeur going to in the first place. And frankly, if there were coaches downgrading Shedeur for that (doubt it) then that alone show's they have no business being NFL coaches.
I've been off this thread for a while but 9erslife you are so wrong, and English in arguing against you is equally so.
There are only 32 people who know what happened with Sheduer, maybe up to 96 if you include GM's and Coaches, and I damn sure none of them are on this message board.
It's absolutely fine to debate what may or may not have happened, but stating opinions as facts has never helped anyone.

It's a website. We state our opinions.
Fair enough, but it doesn't take much to clarify that they're opinions. If something has been reported it's fair to state them as facts, but stating "Shedeur fell because" at this stage just isn't a fact. You only have to put "I think" or "I believe" first as a qualifier.

FACTS!!
And speaking of facts:
According to Deion, the reports about bad interviews, and Sheduer's actions during the interviews (e.g. being unprepared, wearing headphones, and texting) were all lies. I suggest listening to the whole video for context, but you can start it at about the 52:54 mark. Deion is not known to be a liar. He's a devout Christian, and judging on the myriad of interviews conducted by his sons its safe to say that he raised them to be the same. Just a wild stab in the dark but I'm sure Deion has had deep discussions about this to Sheduer when these bad interview reports surfaced. So, I'm inclined to believe Deion, someone who's known to be trustworthy and a straight shooter than the reports from an entity widely known to be less than trustworthy, an entity widely known to be without scruples to get it's way.
Now, I know people think this lawsuit to be downright silly. Frankly, so did I when I until I started to dig into the merits of his suit. I got the opinions of sever lawyers about this. While they all agreed that his grounds are being tried on legal theory that hasn't been tried yet ("case of first impression") they also agreed that the grounds are sound – "disparate impact" as a consumer. Suing as a consumer of the NFL product clears "standing". He's already motioned to subpoena emails and texts of the NFL owners, which Asante Samuels mentioned in his Deion interview (at 47:50). The attorneys said that if this guy can get to discovery on this and find collusion it will really be a problem for the NFL. He mentioned Boomer Esiason mentioning, on TV, stating that he had inside info that "they took him off because the owners said take him off":
Boomer Esiason himself mentioned having several inside sources speaking to this. If he can get emails and text the NFL is in real trouble. Now, his case does have faults, namely the fact that he's doing this on his own without an attorney. And in the federal system at some point he will be required to have one. But at this juncture, because he knows the federal system (he's won federal cases) he can manage through on his own.
Bottom line, Sheduer's fall to the 5th was manufactured. It had nothing to do with bad interviewing, and based off his father, these reports were lies. They despise Sheduer's father, and don't like the confidence and strength Sheduer has inherited from his father, and confidence in himself that this nation despise coming from Black men but praises coming from anyone else (that's the racial, not racists component). In Deion's playing days, he not only talked openly about how he was the best CB, et al, he went out and proved it game after game, and then told them about it after the game. He displayed this in 2 professional sports, winning 2 titles in one and appearing in the other with this same audacity, something that has not been repeated. Now, here comes his son Sheduer displaying all the audacity as his dad, "Neon Deion", and the owners simply don't want any part of that in their midst, even if they have to manufacture lies about bad interviews and sabotage his draft in order to "humble" him. Period!

it's fan fiction. what is manufactured, is deion was a great one, but he was also a master of self promotion, and hype. he hyped his program up. he hyped his son up. ppl like you bought the hype, and thought his son was #1 in the draft. that was what was manufactured. and btw, kiper works for espn, and espn would air colorado games. they had reason to package and sell the hype, the reason is always $$$$. you got played
