"Sanders finally made his NFL debut last week against the Ravens when the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback, Dillon Gabriel, got knocked out with a concussion. Sanders went 4-for-16 for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 23-16 loss in that game. But his fanbase - let's go ahead and call them the "Shedeur Simps", shall we? - were licking their chops on Sunday. Sanders would be making his first NFL start."
"If this team isn't deliberately tanking, then the entire organization needs to be banned from the NFL. I'm convinced the Odessa Permian Panthers could beat the Raiders. And that is with the Panthers spotting the Raiders a touchdown before the opening kickoff. But let's focus on Sanders' numbers. He had three passes over 20 yards. His 52-yard pass to Isaiah Bond was underthrown. Bond was wide open and behind the defense. An accurate ball and Bond scores."
"He had a nice 39-yard pass to Jerry Jeudy, who promptly fumbled the ball away. But most of the Sanders' fanbase points to his 66-yard touchdown pass as proof of Sanders' "greatness". Except Sanders threw the pass to running back Dylan Sampson several yards behind the line of scrimmage. Sampson, his downfield blocking, and the Raiders' porous defense, made that touchdown happen."
Shedeur Sanders made his NFL debut replacing injured Dillon Gabriel, finishing 4-for-16 for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 23-16 loss to the Ravens. In his first NFL start Sanders went 11-for-20 for 209 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and one sack while the Browns won 24-10. The performance faced criticism because the opponent was the struggling Las Vegas Raiders and several big plays relied on underthrown or catch-after-the-catch yards, a fumble by Jerry Jeudy, and a 66-yard touchdown that originated from a short pass to a running back and downfield blocking.
