Quarterback competitions are hilarious. The goal for every NFL franchise is to avoid quarterback competitions at all costs. Obviously, you want a top quarterback who is head and shoulders better than their backup. Whenever you have to scrape together a quarterback room with bums, the outcome is always comedy.
Here are the funniest quarterback competitions heading into the 2022 NFL season:
1. Davis Mills vs. Kyle Allen
I want to start off by saying I’ve been staring at the Houston Texans depth chart for several minutes now and I have no idea who these humans are. Everything about the 2022 Texans is going to be hilarious.
I don’t have much to say about Kyle Allen here so I’m going to use this opportunity to talk about my least favorite conversation in the sports world: black NFL coaches. Lovie Smith and most of the black coaches who get hired are only hired in these terrible situations where the team has zero chance to win and then once they show any signs of improvement or find themselves with a no. 1 pick to draft a star QB, they fire the black coach and sign an ‘offensive genius’ who always seems to be a white guy. Interesting.
2. Geno Smith vs. Drew Lock
Remember when the Seattle Seahawks were on the precipice of becoming the next great NFL dynasty only to pass on the goal-line and run out Geno Smith as their QB1 in 2022. Russell Wilson has moved onto Denver to work for Walmart and in his spot comes Drew Lock who led the NFL in pick-sixes in 2020.
Of all the quarterback competitions, this is the one that will most likely force their 70-year old head coach to retire. Pete Carroll didn’t buy Reggie Bush a house to then coach Geno Smith for a season.
3. Sam Darnold vs. Matt Corral
Sam Darnold came into the NFL a turnover-prone loser and linked up with Adam Gase and Matt Rhule—two of the worst head coaches of the last decade—and shockingly, has looked like he has no business playing in the league.
Matt Corrall is a 3rd round pick who convinced himself he should’ve been drafted earlier and has declared he has a ‘chip on his shoulder’ so you know he is going to put up Andy Dalton stats—if he’s lucky.
Plus, Baker Mayfield will probably be on this team by the time I finish writing this so we are going to have a hilarious Three Stooges remake in Charlotte.
4. Mitch Trubisky vs. Kenny Pickett
+
Kenny Pickett is the highest-drafted quarterback the Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted since Ben Roethlisberger arrived so no pressure there. Personally, I think Kenny Pickett miiiight have the juice but I can’t confidently say anyone is going to have a great NFL career when they’re battling Mitch Trubisky for snaps in practice.
The Chicago Bears had some of the best defenses and it was all a waste because Trubisky literally cannot throw to his left. If you want to be optimistic about Trubisky you can convince yourself he has never had a more talented wide receiver group as he does now in Pittsburgh but after a year with Trubisky, we could very easily look at their stats and say they stink simply because Mitchell couldn’t get them the ball.
5. Deshaun Watson vs. the Law
Deshaun Watson is a pervert who pressured over 60 women to touch his weird dick and got off on their reluctance and fear to do so. He is fighting 24 lawsuits and doesn’t seem to understand he is a sexual predator. Like, just because you can pay women to not press charges against you doesn’t mean you are absolved of crimes you commit.
The NFL is going to suspend him. They have to. For my own sanity, I need the NFL to do something because I promise you, I am not about to open up my laptop after Week 1 and write about what Watson did on a football field. I cannot keep talking about this man’s illegal fetishes. I can’t.
