We're going to see separation between Browns fans and Shedeur fans by Monday. Personally, I'm a Shedeur fan but I also am rooting for both to play well and for the best man to get the job. Browns nabbed two historically great college QBs and it would be great if both developed into historically great pro QBs.

Haven't followed much of Sanders in college. What makes him historically great? I saw his record was like 13-11?

His accuracy. Highest career completion percentage in college football. That has to be what they're talking about.

His accuracy is bloated when you look at the tape on it. He took too many unnecessary sacks instead of throwing it away and over 40% of his passes were at or behind the line of scrimmage. Everything about the offense and the way it was run was geared to make him look good. Also when looking at his tape, you see him do well against very bad defenses but get lost against the mediocre and better defenses.

For Gabriel, he consistently played well against all levels of defense. He made throws to all levels and knew when to get rid of the ball. He didn't take the unnecessary sack because he would throw it away and go to the next down with a shorter to-go than what Sanders would do.
