Quote from: spiderblue43 on April 25, 2025, 08:31:27 AMI think the media outrage over the inconceivable Sanders'
snub is galling and over the top. Ryan Clark screaming..Lewis Riddick (Deion's wing man) practically apoplectic..enough. I'm almost surprised the conspiracy card hasn't been played.

NFL evaluators showed you what they thought of him...like many of us here..underwhelmed.

Add Kiper to that list

His ego is showing more now, and he is far too entitled.

I am glad they did not want him.

At least he's getting a lot of use out of that purpose built draft room.

They sound like fans more than anything and it's incredibly annoying. I think the simple answer is that he doesn't have a big arm or great mobility so his football IQ and processing are going to have to carry him and teams just don't want to bet on that.

Kiper talking about New Orleans being a perfect fit for him because his lack of arm won't be hindered as much by the dome and then wondering why teams like Cleveland, Pittsburgh and New York didn't want to take the shot. The ability to spin the ball through the wind in the Meadowlands is a necessity for a New York Giants QB.

I'll laugh my ass off if the Browns don't pick him after that. So, just what is the conspiracy all about? Can someone fill me in? After his pop declaring he won't just play for anyone. Isn't that their own doing? Maybe teams know, he just ain't that good with low ceiling.

I like Bobby Skinner's guy's response of "What about tomorrow?" or something like that.  He posted it before it started and had about 60,000 likes by the end of the draft.

They won't even acknowledge that most evaluators had Dart at Qb2 by the end of the evalutions.

Here is a sample of the controversy

America sure tried to humble and embarrass black people by...

... Drafting Cam Ward #1 overall.

Unfortunately, the NFL is a true sports meritocracy. Famously, someone opened that if Hannibal Lecter could run a 4.4 they would claim he just had an eating disorder.

well, they did twice, er three times.

A friend of mine is VERY into reading the mock drafts and puts a lot of stock in them.  I always tell him I dont care about them because the one thing all these guys have in common is NONE of them are actually making the picks.  Not are testing them, interviewing them the way the teams are doing so, or involved in the medical evals.

Is it just talent, or is it the way I think, you get 2 Sanders for the price of one? Are teams staying away from the son because they fear Daddy will be a constant problem?
I HATE TO INCLUDE THE WORD NASTY< BUT THAT IS PART OF BEING A WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM.
