I have to admit I was disappointed with Ward, until the last 3 games of the season. Changing coaches, and more, didn't help. But they went into the season saying they were focused on offense, and their offense was terrible. Dart definitely showed flashes of being a legit starter, but as you...

That's no fun though. Rocket Joe? There's no reference. Bazooka Joe has a great historical reference. Rocket Joe...Lame. Milton's issue is the same as those other "rocket" guys I named: Boller, Druckenmiller, etc.: Poor accuracy. The Jim Kelly quote will never get old: "I can throw the ball 70...

I question if Greenlaw has, or ever will fully heal from his achilles tear. Remember, he was one the very best coverage LBs in the NFL before that. And after he got hurt in that SB, Reid and Mahomes knew where to attack. In fact Greenlaw would have been covering Hardman on that last TD. No...

I posted before about guys who came back when, after ACL surgery, and how the average for an athlete is 9 months (about 39 weeks). Which would mean Mahomes would be playing maybe week 2. Adrian Peterson came back after some 32 weeks and had a fantastic season. Jerry Rice tried to come back after...

I can't figure Fields out either. He gets written off, then a team signs him, and he looks good in camp, practice. Maybe has a solid game or two, like when with the Steelers for example he looked, I'll say above average at times. Game manager, with running ability. Or he'll even have some really...

Crosby is better against the run, and some feel Hendrickson is older than his age. But the Ravens keep the picks. Meanwhile, word is a lot of GM's are very angry with the way the Ravens and their GM did this. Like, it's going to come back to haunt them. Lots of articles also out there about...

This puts a mar on Maxx without question. He was adamant that he should be playing the last two games of the season when the team shut him down. That helped facilitate his being traded. And his knee the reason it didn't happen. One of two things will happen now. 1. He becomes trade bait, and...

Lions also signed Cade Mays away from Carolina. The 3rd best center available (behind Linderbaum, and McGovern). Chiefs signed vet safety Alohi Gilman to help stop the bloodletting there. Turns out the Raiders didn't need to cut Geno Smith, instead the Jets traded for him. Patriots to...

Meanwhile, the Raiders one of the most busy teams. Backed up truckload of cash up to Tyler Linderbaum's house, and he'll now be the highest paid center in the NFL. This is huge for Fernando Mendoza. Raiders very busy elsewhere, but there are still so many holes to fill. John Schneider must...

I think Mac Jones showed last season he's matured a lot and definitely has what it takes to be a starter in this league. He actually showed that his rookie year in NE, but the revolving door of coaches there hurt him. The next Sam Darnold? Well, Sam just won a SB, so that's saying a lot. Kyler...

I recall what Mike Martz said when he was asked for the three things he looks for in a QB: 1. Accuracy. 2. Accuracy. 3. Accuracy. Milton does indeed look like the new Boller or Druckenmiller. Except he was taken in the 6th round. As to Maxx Crosby, I don't know that he specifically wanted a...

That's a load of picks for the Raiders. Maxx is an absolute dog, will put everything on the field, every play. But he's also right now in his prime, and coming off knee surgery. The Ravens and "win now" mode in Lamar's prime makes sense. Raiders are in total rebuild from absolute bottom...

I agree. I think people are still drunk on Sanders name, or his "potential". Quickly to discard Gabriel, eager to embrace Shedeur, based on his name more than anything else. If arm strength were all that mattered, then Jim Druckenmiller, Kyle Boller, Jeff George and Jamarcus Russell would all...

Browns restructure Deshaun Watson contract yet again. The argument is that the cap keeps growing, so just pay him his money over time, since it's guaranteed. The problem is, this thinking would work well if Watson was earning anything close to his money. But he's been terrible. Really he just...

Payton will have options though, and Stidham's trade value has never been higher. Keep in mind there were people in Vegas who wanted to keep Stidham a couple years ago and give him his shot then. I don't see him being MVP caliber, but there are arguably worse starting QBs out there right now...
