Games to talk about: MIN@CLE - Gabriel starts for the Browns in London. JJ still out for Vikings. Cheerio! DEN@PHI - Is this a trap game for the Eagles? HOU@BAL - The loser here is virtually out of the playoffs at 1-4. TB@SEA - Both teams are 3-1. Both have looked surprisingly good at...

No clue. Practice squad is the only answer I have. One preseason game he looked ready for the NFL and outplayed Aiden O'Connell. The next preseason game he looked below average. Someone could say, "wasn't that Shedeur Sanders preseason as well? And the Browns kept him on the roster." The...

Brady is of course right, but today's football teams are run like corporations. This does make one wonder though, who does Brady like in the NCAA, and what is his plan for the Raiders? They drafted Cam Miller, who put up huge numbers in college as a dual threat, at...North Dakota State. Brady...

Bruce Arians calls it like it is with Shedeur and the hype:

Can't say the dude isn't tough. Here is getting carried off the field two years ago in a loss to Baltimore after he suffered a grade 3 (worst level) high ankle sprain.

I actually think it's in Sanders best interest to sit, for now. There's no question he has a lot to learn and work on, and tossing him to the wolves would likely be as bad of result as all the other "failed" QB's in recent years have run into. At some point he's going to need to get snaps on the...

Impressive gritty win by SF tonight. Total team win. Offense, defense, special teams. Jones was excellent. And a lot of backup players stepped up to win when it mattered, in a game everyone expected them to lose handily. Wins so far over all three division opponents, beating both Seattle and...

Yep. Every "expert" had Sanders as the second best QB in the draft. And then reality hit.

The big difference is Dart is a dual-threat QB, and Sanders pretty much a pocket passer. Dart has looked better at every single stage since the end of the last NCAA year. The fact he was at the Combine and looked good, and Shedeur skipped it, also helped Dart, and hurt Shedeur. Sanders isn't...

Gabriel wasn't that bad in the preseason. At times he looked like he could play in the NFL. The Browns problem is that Sanders played okay in one game, and pretty bad in another. But there's no question when the Browns start losing again, the fans will call for Sanders because of his name and...

Joe Flacco benched for Dillon Gabriel. When he's played, and in the preseason, Gabriel got rid of the ball quick enough, and has one strength Flacco doesn't: he is mobile. I made a prediction before the season Flacco would get hurt, Gabriel would take over, the Browns would not play well...

No one is going to trade for Russell Wilson. Not even Cincinnati. He's not going to "save" any team. I don't personally like Hill. All one has to do is look him up, his life outside of football. KC's offense and Patty did look good (again), but the Ravens defense is horrible. Low effort, bad...

Not going to say Wentz lost the game, but he blew whatever chance the Vikings had to win it late. First by acting like there were 20 seconds left when there was almost a minute when they only needed a FG - he was too focused on passes outside instead of quick chunk plays. Then after spiking it...

Most interesting games: MIN@PIT - Wentz gets the start again. Last week he was a game manager plus and won. Can he do that again ? In Ireland. WAS@ATL - Daniels still out. This is a game were Penix may need to show he has it, if he wants to keep starting CLE@DET - Let's see if the Browns D...

Don't forget Russ lost his last 5 games starting for the Steelers. So he's up to 8 losses in a row. Tony Gonzalez and Richard Sherman said last night that Russ has just about played his way out of the HOF. How many players in history can you make that claim about? And it has to be Russ strange...
