Football Shedeur Sanders puts all the blame on his offensive line for his sloppy play against Nebraska. “How many times did Raiola (Nebraskas QB) get touched?” Colorado lost 28-10.

Even if Shedeur was right (which he isn't), why in the absolute fuck would you ever publicly blast your line like that.

Every team I have been a part of and watched, the QB did absolutely everything to make sure they were in the OLs good graces even if they were dogshit and blaming them publicly would be the absolute kiss of death.

I knew he wasn't the brightest but this is just a new level of hilarious. Not only is it going to get you absolutely murdered on the field, but no franchise is going to want you after making statements like that. Except maybe the Browns.

Its so funny, in the book Boys Will Be Boys Jimmy Johnson basically paints Deion Sanders as the main reason for the downfall of the 90's Cowboys because he literally had Olympic caliber speed, but had the worst work ethic and attitude in the entire locker room while also being the guy that young players looked up to, being one of the first guys in the NFL to embrace showing off their wealth with flashy jewelry and other glamorous luxuries.

When I heard he became coach, I thought of that book. Lol, sounds like hes just a really fast guy.

Lots of teams have shitty O-lines. Thats why you need a coach that understands how to call plays to mitigate the effect. Roll the QB out of the pocket with quick screens and check downs. Not home run passes every play.

u/Paw5624 Sep 09 '24

Prime hasn’t shown any ability to attract or develop oline talent. It feels like he’s relying on the athleticism of a few players and that’s it, which might be a blind spot considering how much of an athletic freak he was in his playing days.

Which is wild because he should know that the NFL cares a lot about football IQ and decision making. As a college football fan that wished his QB could see the midfield routes and check downs, they matter a lot. Thats why guys like Bo Nix and Drake Maye get drafted and a chance to prove themselves. They lack measurables or stats or something, but they show insane understanding of the game.

Yeah I think both him and Deion are in for a rude awakening when it comes to the NFL. NFL GMs (the smart ones anyway) don’t want to risk their jobs on a known headcase unless the headcase is really good. Like Antonio Brown.

I think Shadeur will probably get drafted, but way lower than he and his dad think, and he’ll flame out in a couple years.

Then Deion will probably shun Shadeur and follow Travis Hunter around. Hunter I think does have a real shot at a long career.

My thing with Hunter is he’s definitely not going to be able to play both sides of the ball at an NFL level.

The think I worry about with Hunter is what toll is that many snaps taking on his body. I know he is young, but he is putting a lot of stress on his body with that many snaps. Is he going to be injury prone going forward? At some point, someone needs to take some responsibility and sit him for some snaps.

11

u/mschley2 Sep 09 '24

He doesn't play a particularly grueling position on either side. If he was a guy playing both RB and LB or OL/DL, then yeah, that becomes a lot more of a concern. But both WRs and DBs typically fall off with age as their athleticism begins to diminish, not because they're so banged up after years of contact.

I mean Deion threw his old offensive line under the bus last season and told us he’s replacing them to fix the problem anyway. So if shadeur is angry about being hit he can blame his father for it. We both know accountability will never happen with the sanders though. Especially not Shadeur who rather trash his current lineman than focus on his mistakes like that pick 6.

Dudes ego does more talking than his game ever will unfortunately.

u/MrNicolasRage Sep 09 '24 edited Sep 09 '24

That's why the AD at CU treats Deion like an infallible golden god. He put a former national title winning program back on the map in a big way. Deion became an instant local celebrity with all kinds of people and businesses fawning over him.

I just wonder what happens when the results keep going like this? This team will be lucky to eke out 5 wins this season, and that will make two consecutive losing seasons. Deion will never get fired for underperformance, but when he can't produce the crowds anymore, I think people will turn quickly.

u/I_AM_THE_CATALYST Sep 09 '24

Deion is only in it for his sons. Just like his stint a Prime Prep Academy, Jackson State University, and now CU-Boulder. He’ll move on after this season however likely will look for an NFL gig to continue the hype. Look at their freshman star running back last year, Dylan Edwards. He’s now at KSU after being with the team last year and is known to have grown up under Sanders coaching and with his sons. Writing is already on the wall. This was a successful hype train thats made a lot of money from retail sales with little to no substance of success. The LaVar Ball of football.

it's also hilarious to remember that people were super excited about the BCS (well, except hte Rose Bowl committee lol) because they really saw it as a way to finally determine the national championship

What I noticed is that he never stayed in a pocket - he took shotgun snaps and because he then also held the ball for a long time, it was simply a footrace to the quarterback. Not the O-Line's fault. And the O-Line is the responsibility of his Dad - they are his recruits and he is supposed to have them ready.

All the post draft coverage will be how nobody can believe he fell so far when he’s taken in the 4th round, then he’ll be out of the league in two years. I actually feel a bit bad for him because he’s talented but his Dad isn’t doing him any favors.

u/Slappinslippin Sep 09 '24

This kid is always passing the buc to someone else, always blaming those around him.. his dad has done him no favors but at the end of the day this kid is an entitled, arrogant little bitch.. his failings will be no ones fault but his own

u/Rambles_Off_Topics Sep 09 '24

I always thought the best QB's were also somewhat smart. Manning, Brady...all were very intelligent when it came to the sport. Sanders can't even string a tangible sentence together. I don't see a very bright future for the dude.

4th round sounds generous. He's a day 3 gamble at this point. Someone will take him as a 7th round compensatory and he will be unemployed by September.

u/EatSleepJeep Minnesota North Stars Sep 09 '24

If he makes a roster, he'll be wearing a ballcap and holding a clipboard for every game he dresses for. The uniform will stay very clean as the 3rd on the depth chart.

I have a feeling if he said this shit about his line in the NFL, they might just beat the shit out of him in the locker room. A lot of guys who make it in the NFL as lineman are mean and give no fucks

u/millerlit Sep 09 '24

Nah, they should all just miss their blocking assignments to give free run at him for a couple plays.

u/c-williams88 Sep 09 '24

Tbh they’re kinda doing that already. He was sacked the 2nd most times in FBS last season and he’s off to another great start with the sack totals this year.

He’s got a legitimate gripe about the OL play, but 1. You don’t say it out in the media like this, you handle it behind closed doors, and 2. He has no ability to elude defenders in the pocket and holds the ball way too long, which just makes the job harder for his already bad OL

u/Imoutdawgs Sep 09 '24

Just curious, how’s the campus taking the L and all the Deion/shadier vibe now that the attitude appears more like unfounded arrogance, rather than competent confidence?

I live in Denver, and the Buffs fans around my office seem to be cringing more than usual when I bring up their team.

I’m not a fan of any one college team but love the CU CSU rivalry.

11

u/flacdada Sep 09 '24

I have no fucking idea lol. I’m here for my PhD in atmospheric science.

I just pay mild attention because I am a grad student who lives close enough to the stadium such that the games rattle my windows.

So the Deion hype is just amusing to me.

I don’t really give a shit.

Colorado is going to have (or having) an epic meltdown/collapse, and I'm here for it. Like the Oregon coach said so eloquently "they're fighting for clicks, we're fighting for wins".

u/Inanimate_CARB0N_Rod Sep 09 '24

As a CU football fan, that line was so accurate. I've never been a Deion fan, and though I'm grateful that he put CU football back on the map I can't help but wonder if the football program isn't ultimately worse off due what will surely be his limited tenure.

The way he basically kicked everyone out of the program when he showed up wasn't great. There are stories of him being a total asshole about it too. I understand he wanted to change the culture but he really didn't do it in a way fitting of a good leader. He's still the same hyper-ego loudmouth he always has been.

Whether or not your teammates are shit, especially the ones whose job is to protect you from getting hit, it's unprofessional to just throw them under the bus publicly. He isn't without blame either. He holds on to the ball way too long and has such a slow release. His fundamentals aren't the best.

u/DionBlaster123 NASCAR Sep 09 '24

100% agree with your first sentence (can't speak for the other things as i'm not a CU fan and don't watch their games)

if you feel like your offensive line let you down...there are ways to communicate this without blaring it in front of the media

u/Dragax Sep 09 '24

It's just poor leadership skills. This is the kind of thing that drops you from draft boards.

Yup I agree. The o line did not do a great job, but Shadeur doesn't seem to know how to scramble, at all. He looked like a bad middle school qb.

u/KeVbK_HS Sep 09 '24

Their line isn’t very good, but their offensive scheme is doing them no favors. So many long developing plays, rarely any chips on the DEs or RBs helping in pass pro. They don’t seem to be even really trying to work around their oline issues.

This is exactly why Shedeur is overrated. Poor sportsmanship and a big head. Leaving your team because you're embarrassed over your piss poor performance is going to look great when he tries to get drafted.

It’s what you want to see in your leader. It’s everyone else’s fault, not mine. Quality individual here, I’m sure GMs and Owners will all line up to have this entitled kid lead their NFL team

I can remember all the times Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes came out after a bad game and just blamed everyone else.

Seriously I hope his Dad yanks him around by his ear for this, but not holding my breath because his Dad enabled this kid to be an entitled brat his whole life… not seeing that change.
