I’m a S.Sanders fan but watching his miked up. I get the friction. I see it. I get it now.

It’s one of those things where you don’t look like what you been through. He’s been through a lot and overcame enough adversity, odds stacked against him.

So he’s confident and brave, because he trusts in himself and god. So things that should cause him some visible anxiety don’t. He move and act like he been there before and has already earned the accolades because he wholeheartedly believes he will.

I can see how it rubs people wrong to feel like he needs to have earned the right in front of them, to be who he is.

I see how if you don’t understand that he doesn’t look like what he been through. Who he is would rub you the wrong way. I ain’t mad at his haters no more; I see it.

His father nicknames him "Grown" for a reason. I remember Deion saying outta all his kids, Shedeur was the one who had that old soul about him.

Folks gotta understand, their father have prepared them their whole life for this. He grew up being around pro football players, vets, HoF'ers, and etc. He and Shilo been immersed in that since day one.

Yeah their dad instilled that confidence. But he's also instilled that reality of knowing they're gonna have to go thru obstacles, and overcoming them. He doesn't come off as a guy who's entitled.

Nah Deion had them play ball early in life in the hood. They lived in the burbs but did business round the way.

He dealt with the adversity of being deions son and the family issues with his pops and his mom.

Deion had bro start at a HBCU and the judgements and jealousy that come with that. They won a chip and then took that to the Buffs.

At every level Deion made it a way to where they had to prove it. He’s used to having to prove it and believing that he can.

So where some want the NfL to be a level that should be a level where you feel like you need to be humble till you prove yourself.

S.Sanders on some, bro I’m pose to be here. He on that cam shit

 
By the way though, I’m sayin I’m not mad at the haters, cause I now see they can’t help but not understand cause they don’t understand what it means to be built different.

They ain’t hating cause they hating, they hating cause they ignorant to what real strength look like. I feel bad for them.

It irks them that the hate they threw at his father didn't work then....and it isn't working wit his sons. Them continually smiling despite the adversity being thrown their way pisses them off. B/c can't get under their skin.
 


Is this unusual given Dillon Gabriel's struggles and Shedeur's performance on Friday? Or are teams usually slow to change these things when one player was drafted ahead of the better-playing player?

Not really unusual. Already seen Sanders play and you gotta get the others some reps now bcuz week 3 of preseason will be fringe players playing most of the game fighting for roster spots. Their coach already said Sanders will get a lot of first team reps in practice this week. Being listed 4th for week 2 preseason is a good thing for Sanders imo.
 
My favorite part of watching Shedeur is easily the way the camera immediately pans to the unc section every time he makes a play

I think it’s because he’s an inconsistent passer.. Also it probably doesn’t help when last year Brown was complaining about what going In their passing game.. That doesn’t help with national perception of him fain or unfair…

Once he got replaced by Tua in the Natty due to his deficiencies as a passer I fear he may never shake that label
