Fields has just about reached Terrelle Pryor 2.0.

As to Warner, 2023 is the year the Niners should have won the SB. They lost Hufanga that year to a torn ACL. Then during the Super Bowl Dre Greenlaw tore his achilles jumping up and down on the sidelines of all things. The Warner/Greenlaw tandem were two of the best coverage LBs in the NFL.

Speaking of...Greenlaw should make his Broncos debut next week. Curious how he does on that already stacked defense. If Nix can start throwing with more consistency, the Broncos could really make a run.

As to the Raiders, there are so many holes that need filling: But Geno just looks washed. So if the Raiders finish about 4-13, they should have a high draft pick, and I hope they finally draft a QB for the future, even if that wasn't Pete Carroll's plan at 74.

Titans fire coach Callahan after 1-5 start in 2025

The Titans have fired Brian Callahan just six games into his second season as the team's head coach. He finishes with a 4-19 record as the team's coach.

I guess that loss to the Raiders did him in. Lol. Callahan was walking on thin ice this season anyway after going 3-14 last year with Levis his starter for most of season.

Owners aren't messing around. Looks like if a team drafts a QB #1 OA, not only does he have to start day 1 but win as well.

At least none of the others had Meyer’s extracurricular activities.

I think Smith goes in that "underachiever" category? (not a bust by any means). As a very good mobile pocket passer at West Virginia & high 2nd rd pick, he just hasn't done enough in the winning category. He was terrible in his first 2 seasons with the Jets, but turned things around in Seattle with those 2 winning seasons in 2022 & 2024 throwing for over 4000 yds in each season with good passer ratings. But only one postseason appearance in those 2 seasons which was a "one & done." He's a disappointing 41-47 in career starts & currently listed as only a "Tier 3" QB.

I thought Cam Miller was the team's future QB? Brady offered some influence in the drafting of Miller stating he was very impressed with him. And I would think Brady knows (or should know) a thing or two about QB talent? Has Carroll ever addressed this as to what the future holds with Miller? Does he see a future starter there or just another low-drafted prospect fighting for a roster spot?

Agree about Greenlaw especially in the SB but Hufanga could be hit and miss. He featured in too many blown coverages and positionally he was bad. He wanted to be like his idol Palamalu but never had that sort of speed. Most fans were okay with him leaving but Greenlaw was a blow. He and Warner were a great tandem. But Hufanga was a great interview and most of the journalists loved him. They were also getting more turnovers when he was active. A bigger loss for the 49ers was losing Buckner to the Colts at his peak from the D line. Looks like Deebo made the right move as well, as he's playing much better for the Commanders than he did for the 49ers over the past season or more.

Didn’t see the game but the Bills crapped the bed today especially with 2 interceptions. Just like that the number one seed opened up for the Chiefs.

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Bills just had no consistency. Their real problem seems to be on their DL. Just can't stop the run, can't get pressure. But also the Bills receivers were not getting open. Allen's second pick was tipped, and effectively in garbage time, but sealed the game.

Washington completely botched a near certain win, into a painful loss.

I thought Cam Miller was the team's future QB?

He's a low risk project to be developed. A dual threat, though not physically imposing. In two preseason games one he looked very good, the other he looked like a lost rookie. I think he's a "let's see if we can turn him into a Purdy" guy, but that would not stop the Raiders from drafting someone high next year, or signing someone young and discarded (Zach Wilson? Will Levis like you thought?) if they think it can work better than old and discarded, like Geno.

Agree about Greenlaw especially in the SB...

That TD by the Chiefs at the end of the game? Had Greenlaw been in he would have been the guy covering Hardman. Mahomes and the Chiefs weren't dumb. Fred Warner is consistently ranked one of the best LBs in the NFL. He used to say Greenlaw was better in coverage. Though Dre wasn't better overall.

As to those QBs who don't immediately win and "get their coaches fired", I think it's a Jayden Daniels effect. An owner sees that, and expects every other draft pick to do the same, or close. Even when we see guys like Mayfield, Darnold, Jones, Jones, show their ability to really flourish over time, most owners aren't that patient.

Bears had a good win. Swift played well. Not surprised it game down to a kick to decide it.

Billls have gone off the boil it seems. Allen had an off day and they couldn't stop the Falcons RB's. Bijan Robinson went for 170 yards yards and the team had 210 in total. London also played well at WR for the Falcons.
