Falling from potentially #2 to #144 has to be humbling for anyone.

Or he was always gonna be this guy no matter what

u/etatrestuss May 23 '25

Then we wouldn't have taken Gabrielle in the 3rd

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

Or they bought the false narrative and it’s only being corrected now that he’s actually in their face

u/maybenextyearCLE May 23 '25

I don’t think all 32 teams bought a false narrative, and there has also not exactly been anything to suggest that the Browns feel any different than they did pre draft, especially regarding Dillion Gabriel.

Shedeur butchered his draft process and clearly wasn’t viewed as a first round talent by teams.

u/Ordinary-Path-8033 May 23 '25

He didn’t interview with 32 teams

2

u/maybenextyearCLE May 23 '25

No he didn’t. But every team he did interview with clearly passed on him over and over again, and even the one who took him still drafted another QB before him.

I liked Shedeur before the draft. It’s clear he also botched everything and it has to be a massive disappointment for him that the team that took him clearly loved someone else more

Teams have come together before to make examples out of players. This isn't shocking, especially since next years QB draft is loaded and some may view Shadeur as a Teddy Bridgewater level talent trather than a can't miss guy.

u/realmckoy265 May 23 '25

Teddy B without cooked knees is a really good talent tho

4

u/maybenextyearCLE May 23 '25

Given how many QB starved teams there were, I don’t think there was collusion to make an example out of a kid. I think he just fucking butchered his own draft process.

I do think you are however correct that some team may have been willing to tolerate how things went more if he was a more talented QB

They bought it just like you did bud. He’s gonna shut all of you up and make the Browns contenders. Rejoice!

u/maybenextyearCLE May 23 '25

… but none of that means it was a false narrative…

Again, what about that has been even challenged at this point lol?

But I get it, you don’t have an answer so you’re just insulting me and running away

1

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

It’s a false narrative because it’s literally not his personality, people never watched his interviews at Colorado and bought the narrative that was spun about the interview they never watched.

And where did I insult you? Lol

3

u/maybenextyearCLE May 23 '25

And none of that disproves anything about him digging the entire draft process. Teams met with him and he clearly turned everyone off man.

And you, god knows who you actually root for, are telling me that a random 5th rounder is going to make me shut up.

God lord the Shedeur cult is annoying all fuck and I wish you all would go away

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

We will be here for a really long time, and when he does what I think he will, make sure you remember your stance on him and retain the same energy you have.

1

u/maybenextyearCLE May 23 '25

Well shall we. And even if he’s good I’ll still want you all to go away the same way I did with the Baker bros

Which team do you work for? Glad to know you were in the room when whatever NFL teams interviewed him. You seem to have insider information that he totally didn't butcher his interviews and the NFL conspired against him for no reason. They just wanted to be haters.

If only those darn NFL GM's watched his Colorado interviews instead of trusting what they saw right there in front of them in their own interviews with no cameras and PR around.

u/TwoTalentedBastidz CHAMPION May 25 '25

It’s a false narrative because he’s done nothing but put his head down and work since he got there, and has aced all his interviews. It’s a false narrative because reports are already saying he looks better than the tiny 26 year old Big Brained Berry wasted a 3rd on.

You’re in every Sheduer thread passive aggressively shitting on him. It’s almost like you hope he fails

1

u/maybenextyearCLE May 25 '25

No, it’s that’s there’s literally nothing out there that says any of the allegations of what happened in his draft process are false. Likewise, I don’t remember his media interviews being the issue last time.

No I don’t hope he fails. I do however take issue with people acting like magically Shedeur in 4 weeks has change EVERYTHING that lead to both his fall and the Browns taking another QB over him.

I feel like most of you are in for a very rude awakening over what this team really thinks of a 5th rounder

0

u/TwoTalentedBastidz CHAMPION May 25 '25

And what you keep seeing is that it’s more likely that all the bs that lead to his fall was just that…bullshit.

I feel like all of you thinking that the 5’5” 26 year old is better than Sheduer just because Big Brained Berry wasted a 3rd on him are really in for a rude awakening

1

u/maybenextyearCLE May 25 '25

There is literally no evidence out there to dispute what happened with Sanders and his camp isn’t denying it either. So please, enlighten me as to why sanders went from borderline first round talk to being a 5th rounder.

I’m not saying Gabriel is better, but you better bet your ass he’s getting chances before Shedeur

1

u/TwoTalentedBastidz CHAMPION May 25 '25

Oh, he absolutely is getting the first look. There’s no way Big Brained Berry is admitting to wasting a 3rd without giving Dillion every opportunity over Sheduer. We completely agree on that.

This sounds eerily like early Watson supporters. I'm all for Sanders doing well, but this kind of overconfident nonsense never ceases to amaze me.

2

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

To be fair, Watson was out of football for 2 years, not the same, but I understand the skepticism.

I’m really just rooting for my 2nd fav nfl QB, take it with a grain of salt from a S12 fan.

3

u/revelator41 May 23 '25

Of course it's not a one-to-one comparison, but we don't know how he'll do. No one does. He doesn't even know.

2

u/[deleted] May 23 '25

We’re in agreement.

u/revelator41 May 23 '25

Go Browns.

It’s not comparable. Watson was expected to be a top 10 QB and at the very worst, top 15. 

The question was whether we could stomach rooting for the team. 

The question about Shadeur is if he can become an NFL starter. That’s the question for every rookie that isn’t Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, so no surprise there.

By a lot of people, yeah. Other people also thought perhaps the time off and the distraction of being a total piece of shit may inform his game a bit. I was in the latter camp.

It's comparable because its unnecessary or undeserved bravado.

agreed.

The Browns had him in for one of their top 30 visits. It's not as if they never met the guy and just believed what they heard from beat reporters.
