00:03Sparks discourse on motives after apparent Lamar Jackson snub

00:07The Baltimore Ravens beat the AFC North rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday in NFL action

00:13Rookie quarterback Shadour Sanders grabbed headlines in that seven-point defeat

00:17It represented the passer's first regular season action

00:20His performance has been scrutinized heavily, as has his post-game reaction

00:25Sanders finished with a stat line of 47 yards on 4 of 16 passing

00:29He threw one pick and no touchdowns in his NFL debut

00:33With that said, there were a few catchable balls that fell to the turf

00:37Including one that could have tied the game on the final drive

00:40Some left with confirmation that he's not NFL-ready

00:44Others were encouraged about the future

00:46His play, however, was not the lone talking point

00:49After the game, Jackson was seen supposedly looking for the rookie signal caller

00:53Sanders remained on the bench after the crushing loss

00:56It became an immediate headline

00:58Sanders was dejected after his inability to lead a comeback effort

01:02Many, including Rex Ryan, questioned the reaction

01:05Shadour, he's gotta get over himself

01:07Ryan said on his most recent episode of Get Up

01:10He's there by himself on the bench

01:12I've seen that in the seventh game of a World Series

01:15But this is a pillow fight game

01:17Nobody cares

01:18Did he care?

01:20Or are you trying to make it a show about yourself?

01:23Ryan continued on to note the supposed Lamar Jackson snub by saying

01:26He was looking for you

01:28Why didn't you share a moment with him?

01:30That is a question that's been asked since his time in college

01:33The off-field spotlight and reported ego issues have surrounded his football career

01:38A lavish lifestyle, a budding rap career, and a massive social media presence often overshadow his production

01:44His confidence, in many instances, comes off as arrogance

01:48Rex Ryan suggested that Sanders' somber sideline reaction was all for show

01:53He questioned the quarterback's intent, as did many others

01:56Was Shadour Sanders truly upset with his performance in a 23-16 loss?

02:02Or was he looking for another opportunity to grab the attention?

02:05That answer likely depends on your opinion of the passer prior to his NFL debut

02:09He said he was looking for another opportunity to grab the attention of his football career
