Oh, I don't give a crap about that collusion stuff. I figure his dad's presence or whatever had a lot to do with why he dropped, but also, and maybe more importantly, he apparently had a lot of bad interviews. As a former marketing guy, I can say with 100% certainty that first impressions are extremely important, and Shadeur didn't give any good ones it seems.
But as for talent, he showed enough talent on the field, imo. And his stats are good enough as well.
Now, none of that means that he'll end up being a great player in the NFL. he has to put in the work, period. If he doesn't treat it like the privilege and honor that it is to play in the NFL, he'll probably amount to nothing.
but there's enough ability in him to make a good career for himself. His issues are mental, or inside his heart.
