While Sanders impressed in his first start for the team, NFL analyst Mariah Rose took exception with the relatively low-key shoutout he received from Browns coach Kevin Stefanski in the locker room.

Rose shared a clip from Stefanski's postgame speech in the locker room, alleging that the Browns coach has a fractured relationship with the rookie quarterback. She urged Sanders to find a new team to have a successful NFL career, referencing NBA icon LeBron James' career.

"He needa make like LeBron and take his talents out of Cleveland," Rose captioned her video on X.

James, who was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, found the most success after moving away from the franchise. Three of his four NBA championships came away from Cleveland, while he won a championship on his return to the Cavaliers in 2016.

Following his promising showing against the Raiders, the Browns have announced him as the starter for the Week 13 clash against the San Francisco 49ers.

Shedeur Sanders dismissed question on his relationship with Browns coach Kevin Stefanski

While the speculation around Shedeur Sanders' relationship with coach Kevin Stefanski continues to swirl, the rookie quarterback dismissed the narrative.

“You just want to start trouble, huh?” Sanders said. “What people do outside the building isn’t really in my control. It’s not in my power, so I don’t—y’all act like I can go out there and tell them to do whatever. That’s nothing I can control, and nothing I can do."

Although Sanders said he is still coming to terms with the starting role, the former Colorado star is prepared to elevate his game in the upcoming games.

“I’m definitely not comfortable”, Sanders said. “I always want to exceed expectations and always want to grow. Each and every week I want to put out a better product."

All eyes will be on Sanders when he takes the field against the 49ers, especially with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel starting on the bench.
