Florida claws back from down 2-0 because they were getting their asses handed to them by Toronto to then get lit afire underneath them by their head coach, Paul Maurice, who did the thing. Remember how the run was sparked last year? Stugatz. He called them a bunch of P's and B's. He did the thing again. Called them a bunch of P's and B's, and then, boom, five unanswered. You win the division.
This is the Dan Levitard Show with the Stugatz.
Well, I know that Lewis Riddick came out and said what's happening to Shador Sanders is unfair because people are slandering his name. And a lot of this is people reading tea leaves, hearing whispers, and talk show hosts running with this thing. But quite honestly, I think what's happening mostly is he has a very weak arm.
If he were in the league right now and he were a starter in the league, I've read people surmise that he'd be number 30, 31, possibly 32 in terms of arm strength. And maybe he shouldn't have been looked at if this were maybe next year's quarterback class. He wouldn't be discussed as a first round draft pick.
Maybe he's being discussed as a first round draft pick because it's a hugely important position. And this year, outside of Cam Ward, there really isn't consensus on who can be a franchise changing guy.
I think he can spin it into, this is a better spot for me. But no, it's definitely not what he wanted. Because I think before his bowl game, he came out with cleats that had... The Giants logo and the Raiders logo, while the draft order was not yet locked in, these were teams that were talked about as potentially having the number one pick. It's not going the way that he wanted.
I think in December, he certainly had better odds than Kane Ward to be the number one pick. He was a slight dog to not be the number one overall draft pick. And in the months that have followed, as he's going through this process of people inspect his character a little bit more and also his actual skill set. it's not going the way that he wants.
Is that shocking? No. You can understand, well, we all understand where it comes from, right? And his dad is his biggest supporter, and he's done nothing. I think, didn't he say, hey, let's go to this rap concert and support my son? He's always been in a bubble where he's playing the most important position for his dad, and everybody has to ingratiate themselves to the head coach.
It's a byproduct of these environments that he's been put in.
It's a tough data point. Famously in the movie Draft Day, Kevin Costner makes a decision because no one showed up to the quarterback's birthday. And he's like, well, that's a big red flag. I mean, it could be because all the people that had a problem with Shador ended up leaving the program. Trust me, you can Google it.
There have been plenty of people that have their opinions about how Deion Sanders runs his program that didn't like it and had things to say. But I could say from watching a lot of Colorado football last year, the teammates love Shador. So how is this actually rubbing his team? I understand where there's that concern.
But in terms of rah-rah leader guy, Shador seems very supportive of his teammates and the optics are his teammates love him.
It's also not a popular thing to say as he's literally winning overtime. We're sending games into overtime with 40 yard passes that do tend to hang in the air. But if you think about a lot of Travis Hunter's highlights, it's a lot of individual athleticism. It was hard to know what the real data there was because
All season long, it almost felt like the offensive identity for Colorado was, we're getting one of these guys a Heisman. We're just going to spam the math.
I mean, there could be a rational belief. We know that that's a genetic trait, right? Shador's confidence in himself has to come from his father some way, right? Biologically speaking. But he's also plenty talented. I will support my daughter. I will go to all of her events. I've also watched her play soccer. I'm not going to fill her head with these dreams of her playing for the U.S.
women's national team. If anything, I'm going to take her out of soccer and realize this is not who you're calling, babe.
Oh, you were on that outgo too? Yeah, and he was going back.
Teams love that confidence. Cam Ward has plenty of that confidence. It's when do you turn it off? When do you know that, oh, I should be interviewing right now, not giving off cocky, arrogant quarterback. And there's something clearly happening in these interviews where his personality is rubbing those executives the wrong way. Cam has, if you ever see Cam, they work out together.
Cam comes off as the more confident guy whenever they're paired with one another. But through the evaluation process, he's also a good team guy in a more conventional sense.
