Stephen A's commentary on owners and Sanders I

[rightwinger]

Manziel had physical talent but headspace problems

I think that was the fear with Sanders

If you didn't know the facts, STFU. You repeat what you read from right-wing hate sources. I watched Sanders play, and I played football myself. Sanders was better than every QB picked in front of him except Ward, and that was a toss-up because Sanders had far less talent around him. The only other player he had was Hunter. Their line stunk. Their defense stunk. Deon squeezed every bit of talent out of a team that won, I think, 3 games a year before he got there and took them to a bowl. Had Sanders had the talent Ward had, He may have won the Heisman instead of Hunter, but Hunter played both ways so...

Shedeur Sanders won at two schools. So he was a winner. So again, if you don't now the facts, STFU.

So then why we chosen then Skippy?

He was not chosen and you came out in strong defense of him. Why wasn't he chosen then?

Mel Kiper thought Johnny Manziel should be an overall #1 pick also

At the time, Johnny Manziel was ruling college football.

His old man(Deion) brought 90 hand picked paid players with him to every school. Yes they had players. No more class requirements. And you can transfer any time you want. It is minor league football. Highest $$$$ can win.

Most teams passed on him though
Word had gotten out

Didn't he get picked in the first round?

Hey Cleveland….

Can he be any worse than Johnny Manziel?

2014 draft, Browns take cornerback Justin Gilbert with the 8th pick of the 1st round and Manziel at #22. Both busts with maturity issues and soon out of the league.

2025 draft: The trade down from #2 and passing on Travis Hunter didn't sit well from the Cleveland media I watched on Thursday night. Saturday in seeing a headline that they drafted Sanders I wondered how that made sense after they drafted Oregon's quarterback on Friday. That thought immediate turned to seeing it as a public relations move dictated by team owner Jimmy Haslam. This morning some headlines have me not being alone in that speculation.

Late

But still the first round. Sanders is probably better than Manziel. He learned football from a Hall of Famer.
