That's one reason I posted it. Remember, he's the face of the Franchise. This is where the Owners step in with their input. Compare him to Russell Wilson or even Eli and Jones and they communicate at a different level. The other thing to pick up on is that his confidence is cockiness. How coachable will he be without his father? He has a lot to improve on. Pundits gloss over the weaknesses, but the team has to improve them or he WILL fail. Not to single him out, but every QB in this class has areas of improvement. This is where the interview process and feedback from other players, Coaches, and schoolmates become so important. I saw an interview of him at the combine, and with all due respect, since he was with a teammate and an observer, he came off like he just smoked a joint. He's a naturally happy and confident guy and that's just his personality. Rich, I don't see him here. Too bad because this kid has overachieved at every level. He's a tough kid with the intestinal fortitude that it takes to be a successful starter in this league. He's had a spotlight on him his entire life, having to live up to a legend.   

In many ways he is the OPPOSITE of what 1925 Giants Way normally goes for at QB

Yet the timing and placement for the most part was perfect. That explains the hitches to the progression, but the taps, I don't get. They are a key to the pass release and he's going to get some batted balls and jumped routes. One Coach may work to correct it and another may just leave the kid alone.

In the wake of these criticisms, New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton spoke up for Sanders and downplayed his patting of the football.

"I promise he can pat the ball and be just fine if DB's was so good at breaking on ball pats they'd all have 8+ picks a year," Slayton wrote on X. "Same guys that fall for a 2 man dagger concept and give up the dig on 3rd&long every season all season long talkin bout a ball pat what a joke."

In a similar post, seemingly responding to Cisco, Slayton added: "There's these large fellows called lineman who are in between line of sight so if a QB isn't 6'4-6'5+ you lose them behind the OL all the time so if i can't see the QB throw it to me how in the Flying Dutchman is a DB gonna see him pat it BEFORE he throws it."
