"Wait a min wasn’t you doubting him," a fan stated.
"I get changing your opinion or even commenting on what's popular.. but it's been such a short time span in which you were heavily favoring Dart. This just looks silly to be advocating on someone you were just a short while talking down on. Definitely not a good look," stated this fan.

Veteran NFL analyst Colin Cowherd dismisses theories of 'sabotage' surrounding the Browns and Shedeur Sanders

Shedeur Sanders has been turning heads ever since he was named as the starter in the preseason opener against the Panthers. Veteran NFL analyst Colin Cowherd, however, has hit back at certain ideas that suggest the Browns are sabotaging Sanders' progress.

Discussing the idea of a 'sabotage' by the Browns, Cowherd said that Sanders has been in training camp since day one and is familiar with the playbook, regardless of his number of practices with the starters.

"Shedeur Sanders has been with the Browns through OTAs, rookie minicamp, and training camp," Cowherd said.
"He knows the playbook, the head coach, the coordinator and his teammates. And because he only gets one practice with the ones, it's sabotage? You've got to be kidding me. Stop pandering."

Cowherd also said that it's ok with him if coach Kevin Stefanski is challenging Sanders' character.

"The great ones would consider this an amazing opportunity, and he (Sanders) probably does. But we got to stop this. If I was Kevin Stefanski, and they're hemorrhaging quarterbacks because of injuries, we don't need to see Joe Flacco.
"The last thing we need to see is Joe Flacco. I would make an argument, 'Well, rich dad, famous dad, let's give him a little turbulence. Let's give him a little challenge here.'"

With his outing against the Panthers on Friday, Shedeur Sanders has certainly impressed many.
