Jake Trotter was on ESPN Cleveland Radio on Wednesday morning to talk about what he is seeing at the moment from Shedeur after one start. Some people believe he could be the real deal, but Trotter is one of those people that need to see more from him. He said,
“I need to see a lot more than one game, but I was intrigued by the first appearance”
If he plays well against San Francisco, there is a good chance that Sanders could start for the rest of the reason. If not, then head coach Kevin Stefanski will not hesitate to go back to rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel as well. Gabriel is cleared from concussion protocol.
It will be interesting to see if Sanders gets blitzed against the 49ers or not. Cleveland has a chance to find out if he can be a franchise quarterback or not as well.
