    I know and I agree with you 100% from a perspective, but what does he have to lose?  Sanders, most not his fault, is complicated, and there are concerns about his focus and attitude. (see below for an article about that).  First, just talk talent.  Many believe this is a weak QB class and Sanders is coming off a "less than amazing" year.  Some say there is no QB with a first round grade.  I also think, in my heart of hearts, that there are a few QBs in this draft with skills that will be on display. Howard, Ewers, Dart, for example.  If they throw well and Sanders is standing on the side wearing a hoodie and wiping his forehead with a towel with a gold embroidered dollar sigh, they might opt to take the OT, for example, and grab one of these "next tier" QBs in round 2.  If you have an early first round pick, you do not get better drafting a second round talent in the top 3 of the draft.   If he were Cam Newton, I could see sitting out-oh wait, Cam participated. I just do not think a QB who is probably going to be over drafted coming off a poor season should be resting on his laurels.

    I know there is a business side, but as a competitor, I say put it out there. Not participating comes off (from that perspective) that you are hiding something or worse--you think it is beneath you.  Personally, I don't think Ward should sit out either, but I understand the business side for Ward more than Sanders. Sanders is a very risky pick, in my opinion, in the top 5. 

    While this time of year is about the magnifying of problems that are no big deal--Sanders comes off as if he is entitled to a degree.  

    "CBS Sports' latest mock draft predicts him falling to No. 21, with Miami's Cam Ward emerging as the potential top pick.

    Complicating matters are reports that some NFL teams have questions about Sanders' focus.

    According to NFL Rookie Watch, teams are wary of his off-field pursuits, including his interest in music and branding, which could impact his draft stock.

    "Some NFL teams are reportedly 'concerned' that Sanders isn't solely focused on football, but rather his rap career and creating a personality out of himself," the report stated.

    Despite the speculation, Sanders remains confident in his abilities. After ESPN's Field Yates projected him to be selected sixth overall by the Las Vegas Raiders, Sanders quickly dismissed the prediction, saying, "That's cap bruh, I ain't going sixth."

    This is why I thought he should show scouts that he is serious about football.  Cam Ward does not have a famous dad coach etc. and a lot of teams may worry that he puts himself above the team--that is a legit concern, and why you might hesitate to give a QB with second round talent an early first round commitment.

    This all sounds like the same nonsense Boomer white guys were writing about Cam before the draft. Who can forget the "fake smile" hit piece? Sanders knows playing well in the NFL is his ticket to all of the other things he wants to do. 

  2. We absolutely cannot head into next season with BY, Andy, and Plummer as the room again. 

    Draft a high upside guy in the middle to late rounds and sign a vet reclamation project like Fields and let them duke it out in training camp. It may hurt Bryce's feelings but so be it.

    How can I stop watching it. It's literally everywhere. ESPN/Fox/Radio/Podcast talk

     

    I couldn't stop even if I wanted to. I'm stuck in this social media crap like everyone else. It runs this country and we all are victims to it even if we don't know it.

    Don't turn on the boob tube unless you want to watch a game. Then, watch the game on mute. It is much more pleasurable that way.
