Deion Sanders and his Prime Time Ego

[bamamc1]

I guarantee this is not humbling either Sanders. They probably believe Shedeur is the next Brady (late round pick that ends up a legend.)

Tom or Greg?

The thing about the Brady thing is that people forget about him having to fight his own college coach and the Michigan fanbase for not thinking he was good enough his senior year. Lloyd Carr playing two quarterbacks that season was listed as one of the biggest reasons that many teams passed on him.

The point is that Brady was used to being doubted even before his drop to Pick 199. Brady made his whole career on a “nobody thinks you are good enough” mantra. Too many of these guys who use Brady as an example abandon it after their first light of success. They don’t commit to it like he did and they usually fizzle out within their first contract because they get frustrated in putting in the work

This can’t be stated enough. Very few have the discipline to do what Tom Brady did. Workout regimen, diet, preparation for decades. He didn’t just talk the talk. I do not believe Shedeur Sanders is built like that. Many QBs are physically gifted.
All that said, I am shocked that Sanders has not been drafted the first two days.

Lotsa baggage and extremely high maintenance circus/entourage. Eventually, sooner than later, the ringmaster will fade away and the circus will be relegated to small town fields and abandoned parking lots. This draft is an indication that this scenario has already begun.

a quote from Shedeur after not being taken in the first round and addressing his draft party Thursday night -

. Sanders stated. “I don’t feel like this happened for no reason. All this is, of course, is fuel to the fire. And under no circumstance, we all know this shouldn’t have happened. But we understand we’re on to bigger and better things. Tomorrow’s the day, and we’re going to be happy regardless.”

The young man still doesn’t get it.

If this is a push back on grandstanding in college and acting the Diva, perhaps it can serve as a warning to those still in college and acting a similiar way with NIL. But , the NFL draft has me conflicted, we all saw and reacted negatively to Cam Ward sitting out the second half of Miami’s bowl game when his team needed him.

Did the brother also go pro? If he gets drafted and Shadeur doesn’t that would be hilarious. If he does get drafted I hope he’s “Mr. Irrelevant.” (Aka the last pick)

If you draft the son, you get daddy in the bargain, too. On speed dial.

This might should serve notice to all the helicopter parents who live vicariously through their offspring.
Gonna have to go on a diet after this draft. The popcorn maker is on overdrive cause I can't put down the bag while watching all the "Drama". You just can't TURN AWAY from this trainwreck..........

 

[TraskiTideFan]

I might literally die laughing

Are you still with us???

 

[AlexanderFan]

New Orleans coming up in the fourth, might take him and let him battle it out with the Louisville guy.

His flamboyant attitude might go well in Gnawlins

Just popped on my phone that the Browns have selected SS...

The Browns drafted him after they drafted the kid out of Oregon in the third round. And Deion said a couple of months ago that none of his players would be going to the Browns.

Sanders should look on the brightside. It is really, really funny to the rest of us.

I hope Deion's son never sees a down in the NFL.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I hope Deion's son never sees a down in the NFL.

He will because it is the Browns and they have had about 756 starting QBs since 1999.

Can NFL players have cell phones on the sidelines?

Kaepernick collusion means they are conspiring to not choose a guy as their QB who isn’t any good.

Selma, you’re exactly correct. The NFL would sign Charles Manson if they thought he could play. Here’s an exercise: Let’s name Bama QB’s from the CNS era that were better:
Wison
McCarron
Sims
Coker
Hurts
Tua
Mack
Young

I think the bottom line is that his value was inflated by his Dad/Coach. Had Coach Prime not signed him in college he may not have gotten a scholarship. Which isn't good a thing in the business world.

I suspect his welcome to the NFL, starting in the pre season games, could be quite harsh. It's like the old saying, the beatings will continue till the attitude improves.
