And 40YO Flacco is the only QB they’ve won with in a decade....
He gets sacked a lot because he can’t read a defense and holds onto the ball too long. That a weakness that will become even more of a liability in the NFL given the speed of the game. It’s also a very difficult weakness to correct. It’s not like working out kinks in throwing mechanics. It takes hundreds of hours watching film and even then it’s not good prospects. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get cut in camp.
HOW LONG WILL HE LAST IN THE NFL?
Browns got the boobie prize!
Two QB’s in the draft, a bust of a billion dollar QB locked in, and an over the hill rag arm in the QB room.
Sorry fans. That’s pretty sad.
NFLlegacy pity pick.
The NFL is still a merit based league. If Sanders was a top notch talent, he would have gone early in the draft. Sure, evaluators get things wrong, and every now and then, a guy like Brady or Kurt Warner will prove everyone wrong. But for every Cinderella draft story, there’s 10 draft bust. If anything most players are evaluated too high.
If he was acting like an arrogant prick when he's no guarantee to even be a QB good enough to start in the league, why do you think he's been mistreated?
Is it because he was a strong black man?
No NFL team is going to pass on a franchise QB even if he behaved a like prick in interviews.
But, they will if a QB isn't guaranteed to be starter.
Sanders came and still could fall into the Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow category. If he isn't good enough to start, no team is going to tolerate him being a distraction.
Stephen Smith is a blatant racist. It would have been better for SS if he were a FA.
“Finally, on Saturday, he was selected by the Cleveland Browns during the fifth round as the No. 144 pick.” ‘Finally’ and the omission of the draft date ain’t very good journalism NPR imo. Let’s see what the young man can produce as a professional athlete.
Stephen Smith is a despicable human being - absolutely despicable!!!
Cleveland released a quarterback who then signed with the Cowboys and got them to a Superbowl - and earned the winning snap in that game.
Similar thing happened when Michael Vick was trying to get back into the league. The Eagles & Patriots were both rumored to be under pressure to sign him. The league commissioner didn’t want to appear to be preventing Vick’s return, but he wanted him buried behind teams with solid starting quarterbacks. Of course Donovan McNabb gets injured and Vick ends up taking McNabb’s job.
For the love of God, Cleveland has 5 QB’s. Thought they are only permitted 3.
Cleveland doesn’t exactly have a reputation for developing QB’s. Shedeur has his NFL chance. But let’s be real, he’s 1 of 5 guys in their QB room. Coaches are going to ride the hot-hand. There are at least 3 guys (1 injured) in front of him. It may be a while before he gets his shot. Then again, it’s Cleveland.
This serves Goodell right with all the end racism and it takes all of us crap to be called racist.
F the NFL.
Sanders can be very thankful. Philadelphia’s defensive line will not have a crack at him. Cleveland is not on Phila. 2025 schedule.
“Cleveland now has 5 QBs on the roster with the best being 40 yo Joe Flacco”
In addition Cleveland took Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel in the 3rd round. It’s a coin flip if that organization is that clueless (yes) or that as some have surmised they were ordered to take Sanders by Goodell. Racism is the most ridiculous claim.
53 active...are they limited to 3 quarterbacks? And how many on the practice squad? 17 maybe?
I don’t recall any team carrying more than 3 on the active list.
