You’ll do know Steve McNair was a first rounder who played every year in the swac so talent is talent period, and numbers don’t lie

Shedeur Sanders can READ defenses, and he’s ACCURATE. Two QB traits that translate at ANY level.

Let’s be honest, we won’t know the “truth” about Shedeur until the end of the season. I don’t care what anyone else says.

His zone reads, timing routes, and ball placement are on point. But we'll see how he does against real FBS pass rushers and DBs.

I believe he’s better than people think..

Everybody in the comments talking about “Oh his level of competition wasn’t good” is eating their words. 510 yards and 3 touchdowns against a LEGIT team and a LEGIT defense because he’s a LEGIT QB

Thx for giving Shedeur some credit Matt. I think Shedeur will have an excellent season. Over 30 touchdowns and no more than 14 interceptions.Darryl

Shedeur has been under constant pressure that most will never experience being Coach Primes son. He has been through his ups and downs, he just handled it like a old man

The primary gap with HBCUs and Power 5s is the trenches. You can easily find good skill positions players anywhere. He will be really good.

Douple upload matt in the building. Love the vids man.

Great 1 Matt. As far as the competition goes, he played against and with similarly type skill levels players at JSU. He's being surrounded by( hopefully) teammates that bring the skill level up to meet the standards of the conference he belongs to. I think he'll be fine. Even at JSU he was playing on a higher level than most of their opps.

Montana lemonius-Craig went off in the spring game and people labeled him a star he also got multiple sec big time offers 😴 meanwhile shedeur who looked the best in the spring game just got more hate

He performed well in the swac which we can agree is more difficult than the high school level. We don’t criticize incoming freshman for playing below swac level. He has two seasons let the young man show us what he can do first.

His first year he had a very less than OC and still put up good numbers. His second year they brought in a first time OC and his number went way up. Really looking forward to see what he will look like with a true power 5 OC and more WR talent than he had at JSU.

So much Success at JSU, no one mentions the 0-2 Bowl Record against the MEAC.

Brilliant brekadown Matt!! Couldnt Agree more!! The only question is the adversity factor(which i personally believe his dad has been preparing him to face adversity his whole life). The ability to defy adversity is almost directly equated to how your parents have prepared you to face it. The fire that is igniting because of the doubters is the perfect fuel for flame for this team to prove some folks wrong. They believe in each other. 🔥 I believe in teams that believe in each other. And everyone there trusts that coaching staff to put these guys in the best postion to make these games close and pull out way more wins than is expected. If you compare rosters, they should win quite a few of these games. That defense is going to fly around with these new bodies. And the offense is not going to be stopped, generally. If Kent State gave Georgia the biggest fits they've seen all last year. I believe in Sean Lewis against any of the defensive coordinators in the pac-12, especially with the level of talent at his disposal now.. Pretty sure they have more talent than Kent State last year... I believe Coach Kelly, Williams, Sal, Hart, Mathis, and Coach Prime are going to have the defense ready to go at a top-notch level. Do you think Coach Prime is messing around when it comes to either side of the ball!? Really? Id trust special teams to not give up any big plays either. Thats the name of the game. Coaches know how they want their players to preform. They know how to implement and execute gamplans. And they have brought in guys that are ready to show and prove all the way around.

Matt he’s not gonna get rattled. Trust he’s not gonna lose that mental battle I think he’s gonna win a heisman trophy he’s that good. Look at the media day he’s were he was supposed to be at a power 5 school he coulda went to Alabama if he wanted too. He’s better then Caleb and you can mark it here he’s gonna be in a heisman conversation. He’s literally in the best situation he’s far above Caleb I think with just the amount of coaching he’s had from NFL coaches and qbs his whole life. His qb mentor is literally the Goat TB12 himself.

Another PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME video!!!! Let’s get into it Matty Matt!

CU2 is Heisman caliber good. To answer the POWER 5 question, he'll be more than just fine. He will dominate the PAC12 ALONG with Caleb Williams. Put it this way, Shaduer may have not played against the best comp every Saturday, HOWEVER, he practiced against Travis Hunter , Isiah Bolden (drafted by Pats) and 3 other now NFL players EVERY DAY and DOMINATED in practice. Not to mention, his suporting cast is MUCH better at CU than JSU. He will excel and I cant wait to see it.

This video aged like fine wine. Deion brought his luggage to CU, and he wasn't lying, it is 100% Louis

Good call💯😂 He went CRAZY today

Like Deion said, the biggest difference between the levels stems from the linemen. The skill positions are relatively the same across mid-major and high-major.

great video. I am a total Prime fam. I think Deon is not cocky he is brutally honest and humble. He learned that from his dad. Deon at his younger side was still humble but he showed his love of life. He knew how to grab what he wants and has fun while doing it.

We must all not forget, if you watched Shedeur through a perfect ball in the endzone in the 2022 championship game with 1.5mins on the Clock and the TE dropped it. They would have won that game if the TE would have caught the ball. So, is Shedeur an NFL-caliber QB? Yes, he has all of the required skill sets to be a 1st round NFL QB in the 2025 draft. Oh and don't forget thanks to Deion, Shedeur was trained by Tom Brady himself... only the best NFL QB to ever play the game. The main question is, will they try to make up something false to block his draft status because he is another Sanders with outstanding football talent. No one should get upset because the Father and the Sons are naturally gifted outstanding football players hands down. Respect, the God-given talent and give credit where credit has been earned.

He was the #61 ranked player in 2021! Power 5 recruit

I think Shedeur is gonna be a high draft pick and have a tremendous NFL career!

The questions are: Would he be where is today if his dad didn't follow him around from high school to Jackson to Colorado? Would he get the starting job if his dad wasn't the coach? Would his football knowledge be the same if his dad didn't teach him? I credit it to his dad. All the kid knows is football. Life experience will come later with age. He is fortunate that he doesn't have to work fastfood, manual labor, or dead end jobs in his youth. Unless his dad would make him for only briefly; things like that builds character. What I am implying is that he'd missed out on life experiences as a youth/young individual because of his fortunes with football. The kid maybe wouldn't be called cocky, but he is flashy with his chain, watch, automobile, and he has expensive teeth. Every right to be so with all the money his dad made playing and coaching + the attention any player gets from big time football. For him, life experiences would come maybe at the NFL level when he buys a house, files tax, gets a divorce, etc...Would any kid with the same mental and physical attributes, with the same opportunities, do what he did? ...This doesn't apply to just him or Sanders family. It applies to all kids that has capable parents. What makes somebody great is when nobody else can do given the same circumstances. After being knocked down many times and gets back up. Being lefted for dead and still survive. That is greatness.

totally agree with you on all points. i think the only true unknown is how he will react to the speed and pressure at that higher level, I hope he has a great season. i think it will be good for all of college football. btw RTR

This video aged very very well. I’m a buffs fan and you believed in him more than I did.

What people don’t understand is in the HBCU lack is in the trenches on the skills position they are on point so it will be nothing for Shedeur

Shedeur will be a top 5 QB... nationwide...

It’s no different than a high school player getting to start as a freshman… if he’s good … he’s good…

I really think he will be fine. He us smart and has been playing the position for a long time n knows what he is doing.

We don't know how good he is until after the season. This will be a really good test this season.

Shedeur is the best developed and polished QB in the country. Shedeur for Heisman...

Shedeur will be a top 10 stat QB in the P5.

Can’t wait for c the season to start

He is the best qb in college football

great analysis. You are a refreshingly wise 23 year old, my friend. I think he'll have a big season. Yeah, competition goes up, but his team is also better as well. Bigger OL, more great receivers, etc.

The competition is not weak, it’s just Power 5 is better! Period

Very fair analysis, Matt. Excited for the season and to find out how good this team can be.

Funny how people disrespect Sheduer’s success at Jackson State yet some of those same people will act like a 5 star high school recruit will be the best QB in the nation once in college. Why is it okay to feel confident in a high school QB who played against kids who mostly will never play college, yet act like we’re crazy for expecting great things from Sheduer who has proven himself in high school and college?

His play is going to be based off the playbook and he knows it well believe that. That's what's going to catch a lot of coaches off guard.

Which is why his pops call him grown for a nickname,I think he’ll do fine

It’s not like he’s still at Jackson state and about to play a pac12 schedule. He’s on a pac12 team. The competition will offset itself because everyone around him will also be better

He'll get drafted regardless but this season will determine whether it's round 6-7 or 2-4. Don't think he's a 1st Rd Guy but could be a good back up in the league.

He got beat up in one game and kept competing. That gets my respect.. He's got the tools and the smarts. He's gonna be good at the next level.

There’s one thing you all are leaving out and that is Shedeur had the best talent around him in the SWAC. The best WR the best OL and even the best Defense that kept the offense on the field. Shedeur is extremely accurate and when given the time he will shred you. I just feel it’s going to be a little different with the talent being pretty even in the P5.

Josh Allen played FCS Ball, trey Lance, jimmy G, carson Wentz, Joe flacco, Steve McNair, tony romo, etc.... the skilled guys are just as taleneted . Its the big boys up front that makes a difference

I want you to keep that same enegy for when Colorado actually does something this year. Im coming for you!

It def is a gap in hbcu talent vs pac 12 talent but i dont think its as big as everyone is trying to make it seem. If he dominated hbcu y wouldnt he atleast b good in pac 12. Plus not only is he playing against better talent but he also has better talent on his team.. Wr room and rb room is stacked.. Buffs are going to shock some ppl for sure…

I feel like he’s gonna dominate

Anyone named Sanders is awesome in my eyes. You have Deon, Barry, The Col. and so many more.

The skill positions at HBCU’s aren’t as far off from the Power 5. The linemen are really the difference.

Shedueur is my FAVORITE COLLEGE QUARTERBACK and nothing will change that. He did something at Jackson State that has not been done in awhile at HBCU.💐💐💐💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💕💕💕💕🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👩🏽‍🍼🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

We will see how this season goes for him. Could be really good!!

Thank you for TELLING THE TRUTH!!! GREAT commentary......

Who’s here after he threw for 500 Yard’s during Debut!!!!

I think he’ll be good but I don’t think his stats will necessarily equate to team success because it’s Colorado. 25 TD’s and 7ints are good stats. I can see him doing that andn Colorado being 5-7 year 1.

He's as good as his offensive line is.

What I find interesting about him is nothing seems to phase him ,its like he's seeing things on a different level ,kind if reminds me of kobe

Great video!! He is a good QB , with a lot of potential!! He has the pedigree! And the right attitude. Once he gets used to the size & speed difference, he’ll be great!!

I agree, Shadeur is a question mark. Even as a CU fan, so I'm pulling for the kid, you have to realistic. While the competition he was against at J state wasn't great, neither were his teammates, and he still dominated. He won't be perfect, but I don't think he will be a liability either. He has better talent around him, but how much better? We will have to see

His dad gave him all the struggle he needed , listen to those court interviews

He will succeed. It’s college and his father helped make him the talent he is. The NFL though.. This young man has to grow into those bones. I think he can do it. His dad will help there too.

Hey bud , I dig your video and respect the time you put into researching each topic. Ive got one comolaint...... You've gotta Pronounce Sheduers name correctly. I get your saying it just like it's spelled but this isn't Spanish, you can't just say a word like it's spelled. ive never heard anyone in the Sanders family out so much emphasis on annunciating the E and eu in his name.

Let's get something straight when he was AT JSU They had a top defense in all of college football for 2 years straight that shedeurwas going up against in practice. They also said he's a top 10 pick in the draft.

After week 1 he looks pretty damn good!.

To say he hasn't had any adversity is BS, on the field? Minimum when he got concussed running the ball, knocking him out. Throwing multiple picks, and having to come back a few times including throwing a game tying TD to force OT. No matter the difference competition stakes are still high pressure is still there. Oh and off the field? His father having life threatening surgery, him missing games, Jackson state water crisises that affected the team. Oh S2 has been through a lot. He's not afraid of the big lights and outside noise and pressure. His dad is Deon Sanders, he's built differently. I'm not concerned about him. I'd his line holds up and gives him time, he has the weapons on the outside to make plays.

You're showing his high school play and not mentioning it. Also if you truly researched you'll find that his dad was a high school quarterback and won the state championship. His dad has and had Shedeur training under the best quarterbacks in history including Tom Brady. Coach Prime is one of the best football acumens in all of football. Everyone will soon find that out.

He was a slow starter. I would ask you to look at his first half stats. Compared to his second half stats. That’s a major weakness

Y’all all gonna see how big time grown is. Matt you can keep your underline hate too,we don’t need it. Go buffs.

Good enough for Oregon Alabama n Georgia to offer this guy scholarship

Off-topic question is Bama 5-star Julin Sayin playing his senior season I live near Carlsbad and am thinking about watching him play this upcoming high school season I think he is but just wanted to double-check

@MattBeGreat Facts are Shadeur was recruited by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Florida State out of HS, he chose to go to JSU. Matt the basic and fundamental differences between HBCU'S and FBS is the trenches that's why they cannot compete with the Alabama's and the Georgia's, you can't teach size can you? As far as skill positions the drop off is not that much if any, in these areas HBCU'S lack depth that's it. If you don't believe me ask Jerry Rice, Michael Strayhan, Emmett Thomas, Art Shell, John Stallworth, Richard Dent, and Walter Payton all Hall of Famer's that went to HBCU'S and also mention the 36 players playing in NFL right now. Your "sour patch" narrative was a dead giveaway to your bias, first you talk about the competition being terrible and not even close to the FBS level you that's not the case in skill positions is it? Ask James Huston, played at JSU who had 8 sacks w/Detroit Lions in 2022. You also gave an analogy of "...Patrick Mahones playing a middle school team.." Matt that's disrespectful, then you say how good you think Shadeur is but at the same time you talk about how bad the competition was like its a "fact" when it is just your "opinion". YOU talked about Shadeur passing for 40tds to 6int as an achievement but your are definitely anticipating his "failure" that's why you talked about how is he going to react when he throws int's? The answer is correct his mistakes and keep it pushing! Shadeur has been trained by Brady since high-school and given who his dad is he's not emotionally weak. He had 2.5 recievers at JSU a part time reciever in Travis Hunter who didn't even know the plays on offense and Shadeur still completed over 70% of his passes and the other team new who he was going to throw to most of the time. Now at CU he has a reasonable O line with 5 recivers with 4.3 speed and a Travis Hunter that has been working exclusively with the offense. There is a reason for his success at all levels that you left out the fact of how "smart" of a player he is, that's why he will succeed beyond your mediocre expectations....Pin This!

Let's get it straight, it's gonna come down the the O line for him to be successful, that's obvious for any team. That said, 😂, good luck to a line who's never atef a down with eachother. Shadier will be running for his life this season.

What difference does it make he will be good enough he took them all the way to the championship with Jackson State University two years in a row. He won three state championship all you haters trying to find something wrong just sit back and enjoy the show he will be successful. I hope that answers your question, why don’t you interview him and find out for yourself🏈🏉

You have to look at his form, his foot work, how he delivers the football, and his accuracy. To me he is a little better than Caleb Williams but I am an Oklahoma fan, what do I know. He is not on Spencer Rattler level in any of those areas forementioned.

You people these days disrespect HBCU players but don't know the history of HBCU players in the NFL. I know you new people aren't historians. But look up Steve McNair for Alcorn state or Michael Strahand from Texas Southern University. Don't listen to me do your own research. The NFL used to always scout HBCU gems.

He's gonna be effective because he patterns his game after TOM BRADY.... for the most part... a conservative, short 10-15 yard passer.

Love it Matt!!❤

I played in the SWAC, and there are a lot of good players, but we know that the level of competition in the SWAC isn't the same as a Power 5. Resource wise we can't keep up, you're not wrong there.

Matt, you have a hard time referring to Him as a Coach. I know why. It's ok though. you will in the end.

Good ? Boy you just said he threw 80 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. That's freaking fantastic. So you think because he's going to another division, his accuracy , throwing power ,vision and awareness is going away. I'm 53

He was giving the starting quarterback job, he didn’t have to compete for it. He’s a 3 or 4 star recruit that lied about Alabama wanting him. Nick Sabin came out and did say that they looked at him but didn’t offer him a scholarship. Plus he couldn’t pass for 4,000 or 5,000 yards in a weak conference. He’s not a D1 quarterback or pro quarterback

you contradict yourself in every other video. Your saying Shedeur Sanders competition doesn't matter, when rated QB's you said you don't know about Devin Leary because of his competition? Which one is there Matt?

I predict he'll throw for +500 yds at the TCU opener. 😂

Josh Allen played at Wyoming and didn’t put up these numbers. Shedeur was a 4-star QB in high school. An the fact he dominated weaker competition is a good prediction that he can be successful Power 5 level. Like Matt said, numbers will drop but he will be really good

I'm confused, in one video you say Colorado is gonna only win 5 games. Now you are saying shedeur sanders is gonna dominate. If he's gonna be so beast how do they only win 5 games?

Is All up to his Oline .. he played on a Stacked HBCU team .. it’s gonna come down to oLine play and depth .. don’t forget CU has a 🎯 on them these pac12 teams gonna play them HARD !!!!

Did you intend to play his high school film?

BRO YOU DONT KNOW FOOTBALL, the biggest difference between the FCS and Power 5 is not talent but programs and facilities & Depth . The starters on most FCS teams can play power 5. But most of you all are actually casuals and dispute this. On top of that, he lost to the BEST QB IN FCS Q Richards , who will be a draft pick this year

They never have this argument when it comes to the top juco recruits...

Why can’t you just say lower competition instead of calling those athletes bums smh

He might be ok, but NOT OUTSTANDING by any means.

Shedeur is as good as his weapons and OL just like any other QB. So far He has just that so I am confident that the Buffs will Shock those who doubt. Doesn't matter about the Jackson State career. He's much different and developed just like the rest of the Boys. Stay tuned. #GOBUFFS!!!

AGREED!

Just saw some stats on Sanders which were great But was the competition really all yhat good. Tell me more.

Matt why didn’t you tell everyone how Alabama tried to recruit Shedeur and the other SEC TEAMS if he wasn’t FBS material why would they want him 🤔interesting. Well at least CU knows who there starting QB is. Why you never talk about Alabama or talk about Georgia weak schedule they got a free ride to the playoffs nobody’s talking about that.

hes gonna have his ups and downs this year but hopefully they show up
