MARY KAY CABOT Goes OFF on Dylan Gabriel Over SHEDEUR SANDERS Replacement After Vikings Loss!
MARY KAY CABOT GOES OFF on Dylan Gabriel Over SHEDEUR SANDERS Replacement After Vikings Loss!
Things just got ugly in Minnesota.
After a brutal loss that left Vikings fans stunned and sports talk shows foaming at the mouth, veteran Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot shocked viewers by going scorched-earth on quarterback Dylan Gabriel, calling the team’s rumored interest in replacing Shedeur Sanders with the former Oklahoma star both “laughable” and “insulting.”
Yes — Mary Kay. Not known for wild hot takes, not one to raise her voice. But last night? She WENT OFF.
🏈 The Spark: Vikings Loss Fuels Quarterback Controversy
Following the Vikings’ 27–10 loss to Detroit, rumors swirled that the team — still reeling from an unstable QB situation — had “quietly inquired” about trading for Dylan Gabriel, who has been buried on the Browns depth chart since preseason.
Insiders speculated it could involve a swap or benching of current Vikings starter Shedeur Sanders, whose rookie season has been a rollercoaster of highlight throws, growing pains, and nonstop media noise.
But Mary Kay wasn’t having it.
🔥 Mary Kay’s Rant: “Don’t You Dare Disrespect That Kid”
On Cleveland Sports Now, Cabot torched the Vikings’ alleged move — and the mere suggestion that Gabriel was an upgrade over Sanders:
“You want to replace Shedeur Sanders with who? Dylan Gabriel? A guy who hasn’t thrown a meaningful NFL pass and couldn’t beat out a rookie in Cleveland? That’s your savior? Please.”
“I don’t care what your record is — don’t you dare disrespect that kid after what he’s already done on that field. He’s learning, he’s leading, and he’s being targeted every week by defenses — and the media.”
Cabot’s rant lasted nearly three minutes, and by the end, the panel was silent — and fans were already clipping it for social media.
🫢 “Let Shedeur Fail First” — Her Mic Drop Moment
Perhaps her strongest line came near the end of the segment:
“Let Shedeur fail before you replace him. Don’t yank the kid before he even gets a full season to fight. He deserves better — and he’s earned better.”
Twitter/X blew up instantly with hashtags like #LetShedeurCook and #MaryKaySnaps trending within the hour.
🤯 NFL World Reacts: Divided, As Always
Analysts: Some agreed with Cabot, calling the rumors “reactionary panic” and praising Shedeur’s maturity despite a rough few games.
Critics: Others pointed to Sanders’ turnovers and poor red zone decision-making as signs that he’s “not ready to lead an NFL offense.”
Fans: The Vikings fanbase is split — some calling for patience, others demanding change now.
But what no one expected? That Dylan Gabriel’s name would even be in this conversation — let alone as a potential replacement for the most talked-about rookie in the NFL.
👀 What’s Next for Shedeur Sanders?
With two tough games coming up and the locker room under scrutiny, the pressure is on Shedeur — again. But after Mary Kay’s passionate defense, there’s now a public rallying cry behind the young QB.
Whether or not the Vikings front office listens? That’s another story.
📣 Final Word: “This Ain’t Over — But That Idea Should Be”
Mary Kay said it best: You don’t toss away potential because of one bad loss — especially when the replacement hasn’t even proven himself.
This is the NFL. Grit matters. Growth matters. And Shedeur Sanders still deserves the chance to prove he belongs.
