Is Sanders overrated right now?
By: Jake Rajala
Shedeur Sanders made the Pro Bowl a season ago. He unleashed more interceptions than touchdowns last season. Jameis Winston once threw 30 interceptions in a season. At least, he threw more touchdowns (33) than ints in the same season.
Not only did Shedeur get a seat in the Pro Bowl, but the Bengals QB2 Joe Flacco made the Pro Bowl! Perhaps you have to be bottom shelf QB on an AFC North team to get a ticket to the Pro Bowl.
I get that Shedeur can sell jerseys. That’s still not an excuse to have him bring down the ship. We all remember a former Browns QB that could sell jerseys, but struggle on the field. Of course, I’m talking about “Johnny Football”.
According to PFSN, the legendary running back LeSean McCoy believes that Sanders will be backing up Deshaun Watson in 2026. McCoy said, “I got a lot of sources and connections over there, players, you know what I’m saying. They say Deshaun Watson looks good over there .. and he’s going to start.”
Sanders was ranked as the 42nd QB (out of 43) QBs. They will likely not get an Otto Graham in their future, but it is clear that Sanders isn’t the answer right now.
Watson can take care of the football and be more consistent than Sanders right now. Let’s not forget that Watson played like a Top-5 QB in a season before. Watson is still only 30 years old. He’s a couple of years younger than Jacoby Brissett, who turned his career around at 32.
