Shedeur Sanders might finally get his start on Sunday when the Cleveland Browns take on the Las Vegas Raiders. This comes as fellow Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel is undergoing the NFL’s mandatory concussion protocol, which means there is a possibility he could miss Sunday’s game. This would be a big game for Sanders, as this would be his first time starting an NFL game ever.
Before that, however, he finally made his NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, and it did not go too well. This soon led analyst and known Sanders critic Jason Whitlock to blast the former Colorado QB1 and predicted that he would not do well as he debuts as a starter.
Whitlock then asked his followers on X what they think Shedeur Sanders fans would give as an excuse should the rookie quarterback do badly in his debut as a starter.
“Help me formulate the top 10 excuses Shedeur Sexuals will roll out next week if Shedeur plays poorly. No.1 will be he entered the game with the most pressure of any rookie QB in NFL history….” said Whitlock.

Whitlock has had a long and well-recorded history of being one of the biggest critics of Deion Sanders and his sons, often blasting the elder’s Colorado Buffaloes and his two sons’ NFL careers. He has been so highly critical of the family that Whitlock has been called one of their biggest haters.
Shedeur Sanders Was Not Given Chance To Practice With First team During Debut Vs. Ravens
In his NFL debut, Shedeur Sanders only completed four of his 16 passes for 47 yards and an interception, with him also getting sacked twice. Critics have said this just showed he was not as hyped up as promised, while defenders pointed to his lack of reps with the first team.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, who fans accuse of being anti-Shedeur Sanders, has not let him do practice reps with the first-team offense at all this season, and his defenders have been noting that this showed on the field.
It has been noted that other backup quarterbacks have always been given the chance to practice with the first team, given the chances of the QB1 getting injured, and question why they did not give Sanders this chance as well.
