Jason Whitlock slams Deion Sanders says "Pee-wee" football being coached at Colorado

Coach Prime being accused of helping pad stats to keep Shedeur in the Heisman race

Jason Whitlock is known for slinging mud and seems to be part of his brand these days. However, the former respected columnist might be stretching this one a bit too far. He recently went after Deion Sanders on his show and said there was no winning culture being established in Boulder, but rather stat padding for Shedeur to keep him in the Heisman race.

“I watched the (Colorado) game and then I watched Deion’s post-game press conference where he threw his offensive coordinator basically under the bus," Whitlock said.

"I think Sean Lewis, the offensive coordinator at Colorado, probably has the toughest job in all of college football, He's got to coach the coach’s kid at quarterback. A head coach of a team with his son at quarterback in major college football? This is a recipe for chaos and little league pee-wee football type stuff going on.”

Whitlock noted that Shedeur reminds him of another great college football quarterback. It's honestly not a fair comparison at all and pretty lazy.

“It comes off very Johnny Manziel-ish, and that did not go over well in the NFL," Whitlock said. "He’s in a protective bubble with his dad there. Their offensive line is not great but I’m not sure if it’s as bad as it’s being forced to look, because they could have established the running game."

Ironically, Manziel's name surfaced after Shedeur started to do the watch flash celebration. It's lazy for Whitlock to suggest both quarterbacks run down a similar path. Sanders works with Tom Brady as a mentor and continues to improve his game as a true NFL prospect. Manziel's focus was outside of sports and his pro football career never came to fruition.

Despite choosing to ignore the facts, Whitlock went back after Coach Prime with a follow up comment.

"Deion celebrates a loss against USC and then turns around and takes a dump on a victory against Arizona State, and he’s wondering why his team isn't playing with the fire and emotion early in games that he wants? I’m looking at a very inexperienced head coach that’s flying by the seat of his pants and is worried about his son, his son’s NFL future, and his son being in the Heisman Trophy race. Deion is taking care of his son but I’m not sure he’s taking care of that football team.”
