· Yahoo Sports
Shedeur Sanders has been earning a lot of praise despite the Cleveland Browns’ 23-22 defeat to the New Orleans Saints.

Deshaun Watson’s unavailability opened the door for the 24-year-old, and he did a lot right during his time on the field.
Skip Bayless was impressed with most things he saw from Sanders, but there is something that bothered him.
Skip Bayless reveals what he ‘did not love’ about Shedeur Sanders during Browns vs Saints
Sanders had a fine game against the Saints.
The quarterback finished completing 19 of his 31 pass attempts for 297 yards. He also threw two touchdowns while also adding 28 rushing yards.
That has led many fans and analysts to claim that Sanders should be the starting quarterback for the Browns going forward.
Bayless agrees too and was full of praise for the former Colorado Buffaloes star, but he did point out something that he wasn’t too happy with.
He said in a video on X: “The only thing I didn’t love about Shedeur today was that there were too many times because he just hasn’t played enough, and he was under fire so quickly from the pass rush, he just didn’t step into it and cut it loose the way I know he can.
“There was too much indecision on his part, including the two-point play at the end of the game where they went for the win on the road as they should have.
“Before the snap, I’m saying: ‘Shedeur, just, just fire it, fire it, step into it and fire it with conviction.’
“And as soon as he looks once, looks twice, and then breaks the pocket and bolts to the right, they had a holding call. You’re dead, you’re done.”
Bayless does have a point there, but the shortcoming above should not take anything away from Sanders’ performance against the Saints.
The quarterback has very little experience at the highest level, so it’s only natural that he makes a few mistakes here and there.
However, the talent is there for everyone to see, and if he keeps developing at the same rate, there is no reason why he cannot become one of the best in the business.
