Buffalo716 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 2 hours ago, Einstein said: Not that I want Sanders kid on the team, but his words do tend to have a lot of influence on college players in general. "I don’t want my kid [Shedeur] going nowhere cold next year. He grew up in Texas. He played in Jackson, played in Colorado. Season’s over before it gets cold in Colorado. I’m just thinking way ahead. I don’t want that for him.” “Let me tell you something that I have a problem with,” Deion told Russo. “And this kid can flat out play, I think he’s the best one on the board this year for sure. A kid that’s coming from California for the last couple years, right? And went to Oklahoma. That’s not terribly cold. Chicago’s cold, man. You gotta think about that kind of stuff when you’re taking a young man. Like see, when you take a guy from Ohio State and you bring him to Chicago, OK, I could understand that. But from California to Chicago? Not only that, they added what? One or two more games in the NFL. Seventeen games. Come on, man. You gotta factor in that stuff. That stuff matters." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deion-sanders-doesnt-want-shedeur-playing-in-the-cold-at-the-nfl-level I think he's basically saying he doesn't want his kid going to a cold weather City because he knows he's limited And as I've said 10,000 times situation is everything in the NFL... The coaches, the system the other players around you and the city all help make or break you Sanders has tons of issues as an NFL quarterback even though he will get drafted high because of his name... He's already padding stats at Colorado But I would give him a 5% chance of succeeding in a place like Chicago or Green Bay I don't think he will be a successful NFL quarterback but Deion is right when he's looking to the Future for his kid... He can run but he doesn't like to... And he holds the ball That's a recipe to getting beat up in the league.. I would never touch him in the first round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the logic, but does it actually happen? I bet this ranks WAY down the list of importance to a FA or any player for that matter. I mean all teams can now practice in doors, so we're talking about maybe 2 or 3 home games per year with potentially bad weather?

I predict they will have another mediocre season, but sanders will have good numbers. Deion will do a good job hyping his son, who will ultimately be selected by Pittsburgh with a high draft pick, much to his chagrin. Ultimately , Shadeur will flame out of the NFL. Meanwhile Deion will coach Colorado for another year after his son leaves. The season turns out to be his worst season of the three. At this point, even the most faithful Colorado fans have made a 180 and soured on him. They will buy him out from the remainder of his contract and he will transition into an analyst role on ESPN, where he spends all his waking moments blaming his sons poor play on "cold weather conditions". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado was an embarrassing football program before Sanders got there. They had a very good program in the past, but like many other schools ie Nebraska, they just could no longer attract top talent. Sanders can recruit. He cut guys that are bottom tier Div 1 guys especially in the trenches. He makes no bones about it that he is there to train guys to get to he NFL, not make them successful student athletes. At least he is honest about it, as opposed to the lies guys like Saban or Meyer would say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sone kid named Josh Allen went from CA TO MONTANA to Buffalo and is excelling; some coaches sons become great players due to ability to recognize plays and helping others while other coaches sons become spoiled children who never had to work at anything due to genetics and having everything given to them and when they discover they need to work at position during offseason it interferes with their social life including parties. I know the type of player I'd like to commit to multiple year, multiple million dollar contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I cannot stand Deion and always disliked him. I quote Tim McCarver- “You are no man Deion”. Deion will tell you how great he is, then feign some illness so he didn’t have to cover Randy Moss. I am a Yankees fan, and Deion is the only Yankees player I despised, even when he was playing. So Deion is too soft for the cold- surprise, surprise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoMAn Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The players can stay in the tropics for 6 months out of the year, no matter where they end up playing. They will play in cold weather at some time, no matter where they end up playing. They will never be exposed to the cold for much more than a maximum of 40 hours in any season during games. Probably about half that time. And only if they're unfortunate enough to play in a cold weather city, and every road game Nov-Jan is also not in a dome and outside in a cold weather city. Compare that amount of exposure to someone who works for a fraction of the money repairing power lines, roads, etc. I guess some of this has to be an understanding of what's defined as 'cold weather'. Is is under 50 degrees? 40? 30? The flip side is the players in Atlanta, Miami, Carolina, Arizona, even Washington. The players can be exposed to sweltering heat throughout training camp and the early part of the season. Bottom line is that the kid will have to go to whatever team drafts him, or he can elect not to play in the NFL. It's that simple. Maybe it's Deion who doesn't want to watch his kid in cold weather. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
