The Cleveland Browns are 1-3 with the one win being a fluke over the Green Bay Packers. As far as offensive production goes, 40-year-old starting quarterback Joe Flacco has the worst passer rating in the NFL and through four games Cleveland has the seventh-worst offense in the league, averaging just 280 yards per game.
While Cleveland, a franchise who has had just three winning seasons in the past 22 years, continues to toil at the bottom of the NFL, last season’s Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winner and college program transformer, Shedeur Sanders, is left to walk around the sidelines with headphones on looking frustrated and knowing he can do a better job than the two quarterbacks supposedly ranked higher than him by the organization.
Sanders told us how confident he is that he can change things around when he was recently asked about his feelings towards having to run the scout team in practice.
Sanders showed humility and grace and was thankful for the daily reps, but also expressed a desire to be on the field because he knows he could be contributing to a team this season. Especially with all of the recent injuries to staring quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson and Sam Darnold and Joe Burrow. Flacco is 40 and he’s on the decline and one big hit away from being done for the season.
Shedeur Sanders Was Flustered On Sidelines Watching Cleveland Browns Get Blown Out
The cameras were right on Shedeur as he watched Sunday’s debacle against the Detroit Lions unfold and shook his head in disbelief
Social media commented on the situation, those who have always supported Shedeur’s talent and those who keep shouting that he’s a fifth-round pick and should be buried on the bench without anyone questioning why.
Social Media Reacts To Shedeur Sanders On Sidelines
Backup Dillon Gabriel at least got to clean up for Flacco in the 34-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Shedeur is seething inside but continues to play the good soldier.
“He should be starting by now but they want to use last preseason game to say he not ready 😭,” said one fan.
“The shadeur hate is ridiculous. The browns are trying to humble him. There’s no way they think that midget from Oregon is legit better than Shadeur,” said another.
Cleveland Browns Still Consider Dillon Gabriel A Better Option Than Shedeur Sanders
The midget that one fan is referencing is third-round pick Gabriel who is slotted ahead of Shedeur on the depth chart. Gabriel’s college career wasn’t quite as impactful or auspicious as Sanders, but Cleveland, who never had anything close to a HOF signal caller in its history, felt he was a better option than Shedeur. The NFL didn’t punish Shedeur by allowing him to drop to the fifth-round. They did a number on him by sending him to Cleveland where quarterbacks go to die.
