Sanders has to be the guy going forward. Dude looks like he can play.

Absolutely! The kid seems ready and sitting not only helped him get ready but lowered expectations. He has everything in front of him. If only his dad can let the kid play and be his own person.

lol that’s basically the only reason nobody wanted him. 

Could you imagine if he became a serviceable starter?  Not saying I think he will but for everyone to have him on the never list was interesting

I was neutral on Sanders when he was in college. Between the draft and now, I've become sympathetic towards him and am now kind of rooting for him in a goofy, "hey it'd be funny if he actually wins" kind of way.

I will say a draft day drop on a guy that hyped up doesn't happen by accident. He was set up to fall big time by either the NFL owners, the media, or someone in between. But life goes on and now he's starting and can sink or swim.

It looks like the coaches should be fired if they actually thought D. Gabriel was the better prospect.

Put me in the camp of conspiracy theorist where the league made sure he was going to go to the one team he really didn’t want to go to, and to not get a starting job out the gate.  No one is bigger than the league.  I don’t think you can really blame the coaching staff if this goes beyond the coaching staff.

But regardless, I don’t think it really matters too much.  They’re just treading water until they can clean their cap up from the Deshaun Watson cap hits.  They’re not going to be firing coaches, because no coach worth their salt is going there at least until they have a clean cap to work with.  I imagine Stefanski will be allowed to continue until the Watson issue is resolved and then, they’ll either make a clean break at that point or they’ll have a chance to play a season without being hamstrung.

Honestly, the only reason I disliked Sanders was because of who his dad is...and both of their egos and attitudes. I've always thought Dion Sanders is a piece of shit and he sucks as a college head coach.
I know this is sad, but that's how I feel about it.

Of course they will. They are the browns after all. Hopefully they are baking more front office studs that the Vikings can hire in a few years.
