I was impressed with Mac Jones. he was very good in the back up role and playing with a B or C grade group of receivers. The other players and team media love him also, which never hurts. He's also much tougher than i expected. He was almost killed in the first game with the Ram but still piloted the team to a great win. He doesn't have the physical talents of Darnold but his processing skills are just as good.What a compliment!

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 Murray's value is supposedly around $43m a year. I'll believe it when I see it. But a team will do what they did with Wilson because Arizona gave Murray a stupid contract, so they will pay the $36m (the cap hit will actually be about $55m. Unreal), and the new team will pay $2m. So he'll have plenty of options.
I also will be really surprised if the Vikings head into this coming season with JJ as their starter, and no vet competition. And I mean competition, I don't mean backup. I mean Minnesota will bring someone in, like Murray, or Rodgers. Those would be the big two. But they could perhaps bring in someone like Mariota, maybe Geno Smith, maybe Russell Wilson to play the same dance again, and try to get that guy some starts and hope JJ learns more.
I can assure anyone that Maxx Crosby wants to win games. It's not about money to him. He badly wanted to win on the Raiders. He'll want the same on Baltimore.
Rams are definitely all-in for 2026. They have the cash, but an aging Stafford, and other aging players, may make a long season tough.
Free agency (legal tampering) starts tomorrow. Get ready for some wild numbers.

I like McDuffie to the Rams. I worry about the huge commitment with Stafford and his longevity.
Not sure if Murray will like the NFC Central. Coooooolllllldddddduh in the Winter. Home games would be warm, though.
