Greg Cosell Points Out Shedeur Sanders Major Red Flag That Caused Jerry Jeudy To Lose Multiple Times Against 49ers

NFL analyst Greg Cosell believes Shedeur Sanders has a major flaw that affected his performance during their 26-8 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

On the “Ross Tucker” podcast Thursday, he said the rookie quarterback still plays like he's in college. This is the reason why he missed the passes he tried to the receiver Jerry Jeudy, which later caused an altercation between them on the sidelines.

“I'm not surprised at all,” Cosell said. “Shedeur is still playing at college speed. He's not dropping back as quick as you need to get back. He's not getting back in the pocket, setting his feet. So what happens is you end up being slow in what you're seeing because you're not really ready to process and deliver the football.

“So this week, he didn't see what he needed to see at the speed he needed to. He was just playing a little slow twitch. And that's very, very common for college quarterbacks, especially those who spend almost all of their time in college in the shotgun. … So he missed Jerry Jeudy several times in this game, where he just didn't throw the ball. That, it didn't register, he wasn't ready to throw the ball.”

Against the Browns, Shedeur Sanders completed 16 of 25 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. The Cleveland Browns they are last in the AFC North with a record of 3-9.

During Wednesday's press conference, Jerry Jeudy broke his silence about the altercation on the sidelines with Coach Prime's son. He admitted that he should have spoken to Shedeur Sanders away from the camera, but also confirmed that there is no bad blood between them.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski shares his honest thoughts on Shedeur Sanders' performance against the 49ers

During Monday's press conference, Kevin Stefanski said he saw a good game from Shedeur Sanders despite the disappointing loss.

“There are things he wants to get back that we're working on right now that he can improve on,” Stefanski said. “But the bottom line is we have to continue to put our players in position to be successful.

“For a young quarterback, you can only get better with more turns in these games, as you see more coverages, as you see more defenses and as you prepare against different defenses. So we're looking forward to that continued improvement with Shedeur and for all of our young players.”

The Browns will take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
