This is one of my favorite times on the NFL calendar. I love quarterback competitions. Teams go through the entire offseason without truly finding a QB1 so they have to make a bunch of backups slapbox for the starting role. Kirk Cousins is typically the Mendoza line that indicates if you’re at risk of entering […]
NFL minicamps are wrapping up and 30-year-old Carson Wentz is still a free agent but he’s not just waiting by his phone for an opportunity. He’s taking matters into his own hands by joining forces with former NFL head coach, Jon Gruden. Free-agent QB Carson Wentz has been spending time in Tampa, throwing and studying […]
Here’s everything I know about Chris Simms having grown up watching him fail: His father, Phil Simms, is one of the greatest quarterbacks in Giants history which isn’t really saying much when the other Giants QBs in the running for the no. 1 spot is turnover machine Eli Manning and Kerry Collins, who played with […]
This week, the Minnesota Vikings announced they’d be releasing 4-time All-Star running back Dalvin Cook. The Vikings avoid his $14.3 million cap hit for the year by moving on from him now. It sucks seeing a 28-year old being treated like he’s some washed-up bum but it’s the NFL and any player over the age […]
DeAndre Hopkins has once again worn out his welcome. Last time, it was the Houston Texans and now, it’s the Arizona Cardinals who are releasing Hopkins after accusing him of sitting out games at the end of last season when he was secretly healthy. DeAndre Hopkins upset some in the Cardinals organization by sitting out […]
We’ve recently seen new QB-WR duos join forces and find immediate success. Whether it be Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs or Tom Brady and Mike Evans or Matty Stafford and Cooper Kupp. Turns out, putting great quarterbacks together with great receivers typically ends in positive results. Let’s rank every new QB-Wr duo heading into the […]
Jimmy Garoppolo has this strange label of a ‘winner’ whenever his name is brought up in NFL conversations. That label has landed him several opportunities to be a starting quarterback in the league despite everyone all knowing he’s really not that great at his job. He has a 40-17 career win-loss record as a starter. […]
As teams start revving up their preseason minicamps, it’s clear the NFL offseason is over. All of the moves have been made. All of the players have been drafted. And now you look at the New York Giants—a team whose leading receiver last season was Richie James—and realize they didn’t really do much to make […]
Brett Favre is famous for stealing government money that was designated for welfare recipients in Mississipi and using that money to renovate the volleyball facility at his daughter’s college. Some people also know him as the guy who used to throw footballs to the opposing team all season long. It should shock no one that […]
In March, the New England Patriots signed tight end, Mike Gesicki, away from division rival Miami Dolphins, to a 1-year $9 million contract. Gesicki joins JuJu Smith-Schuster as Mac Jones’s new offensive weapons. In his first interview with the Boston media, Gesicki revealed that he and Mac Jones and developing an interesting little relationship: Mike […]
Lamar Jackson has officially become the highest-paid player in the NFL following an offseason of getting dragged in the mud by every single NFL media member. Everyone wanted to tell Lamar why he doesn’t deserve a big contract anddddddd now he’s up a cool $260 million. In an interview with ESPN, Lamar shared his goals […]
The 2023 NFL Draft first round is complete. The picks are in. That little teeny tiny quarterback from Alabama was taken no. 1 overall. A bajillion trades were made for no reason. Everyone’s mock drafts were wrong. And with every major event, there are winners and there are certainly winners. Let’s start off with the […]
All eyes will be on the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans who have the numbers 1 and 2 picks while also having clear holes at the quarterback position. So while everyone is debating whether Bryce Young is too small or if Anthony Richardson is the next Josh Allen or if CJ Stroud is too black, […]

Moore and Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney have been suspended indefinitely. They have to apply for reinstatement in a year and beg for their careers back. Lions receivers, Jameson […]
If I’ve learned anything listening to NFL draft coverage over the years, it’s that no one understands how to properly evaluate quarterbacks. Not NFL organizations, not college football media, not NFL media and not fans. No one understands what it takes to succeed in the National Football League which means we have to list off […]
