Saints met with QB Shedeur Sanders [Deion Sanders ok with Saints drafting Shedeur]

Alex Smith with Spags defense is probably winning 2....lol. I've said it before and plant my flag on this hill. We should only care about upside in the skill positions because all modern quarterbacking requires you to do is to get the balls to your play maker. Jon Gruden hit the nail on the head when speaking about the modern game. If most your passes are going to be screens behind the line or 5 yard slants with the name of the game being space, I say get the BPA available for skill positions and defense and draft QBs based off their floor. Unless we begin depending more on dual threat QBs..

Pretty much the point guard at QB. Drew was a master of this, even with subpar weapons because of Payton's scheme. So what do you do when you don't have a QB with a Cray between the ears and a coach who's proven he can gameplan around any QB? I'm with you...we need more skill position players. It positions us to win now with Carr and with whoever succeeds him. Because it doesn't look like Kellen is willing to stand pat and eat a bad season.

I want arrogance in my QB1. And if he's got an arrogant support staff, bring them along. What makes one arrogant is high expectation from themselves. We want someone that expects themselves to be great and would be devastated if they fall short. So they try harder than anyone not to fail, because the feeling of failing is way more negatively powerful than the joy of success. The key for the Saints is to make sure that Sanders' talent at least is in the same realm as his ego. And if it is, put him in coach.

I disagree, You want a very confident QB, That believes in himself AND his players. Arrogance and elitism is what makes SS say what he did about Xavier Smith.

Sure. But I mean, Burrow had what are now two of the best WRs in the NFL and a bunch of other NFL talent around him. Burrow took advantage of that, but let's not pretend he put that team on his shoulders and won it all by himself. There is a reason people still talk about that 2019 LSU team as maybe being the best team in the history of college football.

Burrow, Jefferson and Chase have pretty much continued what they started @ LSU in the NFL. But the rest of the O did not fare so well in the NFL. CEH has been mediocre and the OL Burrow has not done much to speak of.

The things we saw in Burrow @ LSU that made everyone so sure he was going to be great were his Mahomes-esq off script plays. I think we would have seen those qualities even if he didn't have JJ and Chase, nowhere near as much but it would have been evident

Archie made it clear that Eli would not play for San Diego and they drafted him anyway. Which is why they then had to trade him to the Giants an hour after they drafted him. Deion has done nothing close to that.

SD didn't have to trade him (or draft him for that matter), but Archie didn't dictate either. It was Eli who didn't want to go to SD, not Archie not wanting Eli to go to SD.

And, let's not forget, this started as a private conversation between Eli, his agent, and SD. It was SD who aired it out, and Archie came in the picture to support Eli.

Coincidentally, Eli has said one of the things that went into that decision was how the Chargers were treating Drew Brees at the time.

But it certainly wasn't Archie dictating where he wanted Eli to play.

That's not what arrogance is, though. Someone who's arrogant is someone who has a very high opinion of themselves, and when things go wrong, they'd blame everyone else for the failure but themselves.

That's because arrogance is fueled by insecurity. It is not fueled by confidence.

Deion Sanders tracks down team who purportedly called Shedeur ‘brash’ at combine: ‘That was a lie’

During Wednesday’s installment of “The Skip Bayless Show,” Deion said he called the coach of the unnamed team.

I'm not much of a fan of Primetime at all. I read this article and my initial reaction was that his kid is an adult and Deion should just stop.
(Assuming the article is accurate) Then I stopped and thought about if this was my kid (I don't have any) what would I do if my kid was was interviewing for an elite, prestigious job straight out of school and some butt crevasse in a position of influence slandered him publicly during this critical juncture. Doesnt matter whether it's the NFL or a prestigious law firm or cardiac unit.
Would I intervene if I was in a position of influence or had the clout? Damned straight I would. If anything, again assuming the article is accurate, Deion was pretty professional about it IMO

Liked your post for the Wooden wisdom.

Ok, there is a team out there salivating on the prospect of SS falling to them. Laughing amongst themselves saying, “look at all of these people talking non sense and bringing up irrelevant personality traits. The dude is a dog, but the woke police will take him down. Please keep talking..,because he’ll fall right to us.”. Said picks 10-32.

I don't know about salivating, but I would imagine that Dallas, Miami, and Indy could be in on Sanders at #12, #13, and #14. Miami is the least likely because of Tua, but with his concussion issues, they may want insurance and Sanders probably fits well in that scheme. Indy really has no QB and Dallas may want to get the successor to DAK in the house and there is an obvious connection between Jerry and the Sanders family.

And further down there are Pittsburgh and maybe the Rams looking for the successor to Stafford.
