On one hand...yeah, his first minutes in an actual game, so any reaction is overreaction.

On the other hand, as someone who thinks he's just the latest Sanders to be brutally overhyped, I don't know how much improvement I'd expect. Getting a number retired for being the coach's son and losing a bowl game? Really?

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

He and his old man are both lightning rods for sure...

Stefanski is catching flack as a racist for not preparing Shedeur better...because...he has not given Shedeur enough practice time with the "1"s. The backup gets virtually no time with the 1s in the middle of the season. That is particularly true with a rookie starting QB. You think Brosmer has thrown a pass of Jets since the season started?

I do pity Stefanski a little. You have to deal with both the Watson (and his salary) and Sanders' circuses at the same time and now deal with Flacco and Gabriel hurt. He could lose his job because of the money tied up in Watson and the carnival like atmosphere which he didn't create combined with the losing season

I do too...

Dont forget the ownership he's gotta deal on top of Sanders/Watson/Flacco/Gabriel...

Lmao! This is our media in 2025. Always have the race card handy to use for any situation at a moments notice, and it's always the same side.

I really like Stefanski. Isn't he like a two time coach of the year? He's been totally failed by an inept Browns owner and front office. Coincidently (or not) Kwesi came from that same front office. Decipher what you will

During the draft they kept focusing on Sanders "how far is he going to fall" or "can't believe team x or team y passed on Sanders when they need a quarterback". Stefanski probably wishes he would get fired so he can move on to a competent franchise.

Yea...that means that Kwesi isn't good enough for the Browns front office.  If only he was good enough...

I think Kwesi should just put it on auto-draft this year.

Before joining the Vikings in 2022 from the Browns where Kwesi spent one year as VP of Football operations, he was with the 49ers front office for 6 years.

Coach < Prime has a losing record at Colorado as head coach. His son was drafted in the 5th round. Where's the excellence to back up the ridiculous media hype? Now that hype is long gone as we stand today....but there are still a few excuse makers out there in the media hanging onto it for relevance. And big surprise: they are black. How this helps anything other than stirring up the shit is beyond me. I think Cam Newton is another....and its hard to take his getups seriously.

I get all this and agree. But I don't have any problem with blacks supporting blacks. I think it is a good thing. As far as I am concerned, Prime was a clown. But he has done a lot to help and promote a path for young people to become good responsible men. So I give him credit for that.

Shame and rage are interconnected, with rage often serving as a defensive reaction to overwhelming feelings of shame. This shame-rage cycle is a pattern where feelings of inadequacy or humiliation lead to aggressive outbursts as a way to protect against the painful emotions. The rage can be a way to divert attention from the underlying shame, though it can also create more shame, escalating the cycle.
How the cycle works
Shame triggers: A person may feel shame when they are criticized, feel inadequate, or fear being "found out" or exposed as flawed.
Rage as a defense: To avoid the painful feelings of shame, the person may lash out with anger or rage at the person or thing that triggered the shame.
Escalation: This rage serves to project blame outward and can prevent the individual from dealing with the original feelings of inadequacy. The act of lashing out can then lead to further feelings of shame, continuing the cycle.
