The evidence being Colorado fan accounts and Skip Bayless while the majority of people knew that Cam was going to be the first qauterback off the board and rightfully so. What I'm getting here is that real issue is that Cam isn't getting the attention that he deserves, fine I get that but that's not Shedeur's fault is it? Sports media is shit and we all know that, and I'm pretty sure that Shedeur doesn't appreciate the attention now that he's fallen to the fourth round but that's still going to be the story. And it shouldn't be. Also, saying he was a prick in all his interviews is such a huge assumption when none of us were in the room and the teams say whatever they want to justify their decision all the time. For all the people saying he has character issues, there's people who say otherwise. None of them hold much weight until we see how things play out in the place he gets drafted to.
I recognise the dumb shit he's said about the offensive line at Colorado etc and more but is he the first and last qauterback to say stuff like that? For all those times where he was a 'bad teammate' there were examples of him backing up his teammates and being a good teammate. None of which cancels out the other btw, but people can mature and get better at being part of a team. And obviously the teams didn't agree idk or whatever else factored into their decisions to not draft him.
Not working out can be seen as a mistake and I think it was. He should have done the combine and he didn't, his mistake for taking that bad advice. Okay and where does that leave us? He's fallen to the fourth round, if the point was to humble a douchy kid (unconfirmed douch btw) then he's been 'humbled'. They should be focusing more on Cam and they aren't, it's shitty and that needs to change. The Sanders name is an attention drain but Shedeur was good in college, really good. Good enough to take a 1 win team to a bowl game in 2 years. He also could've been better. Two things can be true at once. He wouldn't be getting this much attention if he wasn't Deion's son but he's not a bum either. Acting like Shedeur had this coming or whatever because you think he's a cocky kid is where I disagree with you. And yeah people are defending him because there's a lot of people with big names being overly cruel and saying that he needed to 'humbled' etc which is very coded language and there's also a lot of other people who are inflating the situation to an injustice. This is just something that happened. Do I think it's unfair, yes, but the end of the day that means nothing. I wish they would focus on Cam more but other than that, let's agree to disagree.
+the example of Johnny is a good one but it's a false equivalence because Johnny was seen as a better prospect and he wasn't part of a famous football family when he was doing all his antics, I don't think that it applies to Shedeur and this a compliment to Johnny. Also I think Shedeur is a confident kid but he wasn't getting arrested in college so that's a big difference to me.
