does Shedeur have the elite talent that makes him worthy of being a 1st round pick?
I'll be honest, I think the whole "1st Round" thing is a bit over blown. There have been plenty of successful QB's not drafted in the first.
Is Sanders a starting QB talent? Yes. Does the have the magic to be a game changer on his own? I don't think so. Could he win a Superbowl if surrounded by the right talent? Sure.
But I really don't think the downside is worth it. How loud would the noise be if things went bad? I could not tollerate Deon talking shit about McVay if a season went bad. Trying to tell the world how McVay should be coaching.
And can we say Shedeur would have played as hard for any other team that wasn't helmed by his dad? Would he have taken as many sacks and gotten up? Or would he have pouted and sat on the bench? We can't say, and we can't know, and from hearsay it sounds like Shedeur has been a really entitled prick in his interviews so...... I just don't see his upside being anywhere near as high as his down side is low.
I said it in the draft chat, In and organization that has prided itself on NOT making noise, and on QUICKLY turfing those that do, would you really invite that kind of inevitable drama in? For what seems like a moderate NFL QB talent at best?
