Boy, how humiliating the 28-10 Nebraska loss was for Deion Sanders and Co. Salt to the wound was QB Shedeur Sanders leaving the ground with an utterly exasperated "I'm done" disposition with 2 minutes left on the clock and even avoiding shaking hands with the Cornhuskers post-game altogether. But what he did after the game was even more embarrassing for the CFB world, as Dov Kleiman called it to be of "zero accountability."
To pile on the insult, Shedeur Sanders shifted the blame to his blocking unit.
"But you have got to understand like what your team good at. So, it was like, why would we keep running the ball if we out there and we get in a situation that is a must-get and we don't get it," the QB said, almost as if giving a justification for leaving the field after enduring the massive hit from Nebraska defender in the final minutes.
Despite completing 23 of his 38 pass attempts for 244 yards, one touchdown with one interception, the QB had to bear five sacks, another reason for him leaving the field.
Although secondary QB Ryan Staub had taken to the center, taking over Sanders' duty, the QB disgracefully leaving the field only painted a (very) negative picture of him in the crowd, earning him some brutal 'boos' as he was leaving.
Not only does this look good along the lines of being one of the top QBs in the league, it even puts Shedeur's NFL future in a potentially grave danger.
Did Shedeur Sanders just put his NFL career in danger?
Given his last season, and all the haters he has amassed in such a short time, the controversies seem to be always lurking behind the "Grown QB."
His behavior following Colorado's first loss of the season just tipped off another one.
Shedeur might have underestimated the weight his words held this time when he threw his teammates under the bus, especially now that top NFL scouting professionals would have their eye on him. And shifting the blame to your own team players is an instant red flag in the NFL books.
To add to the shame, the QB even left the field mid-game, giving the scouting people another reason to not add him to their team.
The only way out of this for the Colorado QB would be a solid redeeming performance in the rest of the season. If his chemistry with his offensive line is missing, like it seemed to be postgame, that's easier said than done.
