Wouldn’t be a bad landing spot
Colorado Buffaloes football great Shedeur Sanders pitched backing up Matthew Stafford on Rams, Los Angeles trade
One Cleveland Browns analyst believes trading Colorado Buffaloes football great Shedeur Sanders to the Los Angeles Rams to back up Matthew Stafford makes all the sense in the world.
Dawg Pound Daily’s Mark Sipos believes the Los Angeles Rams make sense as a landing spot for Sanders to play behind Matthew Stafford and learn a system that’s tailor-made for his skillset.
“Matthew Stafford is still capable, but the Rams don’t have a clear succession plan. Sanders could sit behind him, learn the nuances of Sean McVay’s system, and grow into a potential starter down the line. His timing-based game and quick release would fit the scheme, and there’d be no pressure to play early,” Sipos wrote.
In many ways, Los Angeles is perfect for Shedeur.
Coach Prime’s youngest son has the celebrity that works in the City of Angels, but joining a franchise with a fanbase that’s not in the midst of a Super Bowl drought, like the Cleveland Browns or Buffalo Bills, means he won’t be dealing with fans severely lacking patience.
Like Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr., among others, Sanders could be a high-profile reclamation project who won’t dominate every headline. Stafford is still the man, having won the city a championship three years ago, and that wouldn’t change because of Sanders.
Who knows? Maybe Deion Sanders could make good on Paul Finebaum’s radio fodder and actually take over for Lincoln Riley at USC.
Los Angeles could become the next home of “Prime Time.”
It’s probably better suited for the Sanders family than Boulder anyway.
