Mark Schlereth spent 12 years playing in the NFL. His analysis carries a little bit more weight than most, and he’s putting that on display while sparring with Skip Bayless.
After Bayless called for the firing of Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski for pulling Shedeur Sanders off the field during a pivotal two-point conversion on Sunday, Schlereth poked holes in the argument.
Schlereth began his critique of Bayless’ stance by saying “with all due respect” and calling the commentator “my brother”, before pointing out why the former FS1 and ESPN analyst was incorrect.
He concluded by pointing out that Skip Bayless has had plenty of incorrect opinions over the course of his career. Mark Schlereth said he required any opinion from Bayless to be taken “with a grain of salt.”
“When it comes to your football opinion, this is the issue I have – you thought Johnny Manziel was gonna be a superstar. You are on record saying he was gonna change the league,” Schlereth said. “You thought Tim Tebow was gonna change the league. You thought he was the answer at quarterback. So, when it comes to your quarterbacking opinions and your football opinions, I’m out. No, thank you. Because they have proven over the course of time to be ridiculous.”
Mark Schlereth had extra insight into the Cleveland Browns’ decision-making in the game, due to his serving as the color analyst on the NFL on FOX broadcast.
