The NFL has a surprising number of unproven quarterbacks running around the league trying to discover if they can truly ball in the big leagues. Rookies won’t be included in this list because I have no clue what they will look like and it’s unfair to compare them to guys who have been in the […]
After 9 unremarkable years in Oakland, the Raiders chose to bench Derek Carr for the final two games of the 2022 season. Upset by the benching, Carr left for New Orleans signing a 4-year $150 million deal with the Saints. In an interview with the Fresno Bee, Derek Carr expressed his anger towards the Raiders […]
One of the last few enjoyments I get from post-Elon Musk Twitter is opening up the app and never knowing whose name is going to be trending and you certainly never know why. Today, people are talking about Peyton Hillis… And unfortunately, I clicked his name and found myself scrolling through the most low-stakes culture […]
Stefon Diggs has declared war against the Buffalo Bills Earlier this month, Diggs skipped out on mandatory minicamps. There was so much public drama that the team canceled minicamps a day early. Then it was reported Stefon Diggs was upset about not getting enough say in the offense and play-calling. The easy immediate reaction to […]
Carson Wentz killed a bear. Free agent #NFL quarterback Carson Wentz went black bear hunting in Alaska and posted on IG about his experience: (Via @Scott7news) (*) pic.twitter.com/2UrosZiYJh — MLFootball (@_MLFootball) June 23, 2023 Last week I wrote about Carson Wentz and Jon Gruden joining forces to create the Wonder Twins of lackluster quarterbacking. […]
From the moment former Giants GM, Dave Gettleman, used the 2018 no. 2 overall draft pick to select Saquon Barkley, I knew there would be a contract dispute when his rookie deal was up. And what do you know, 5 years later and Saquon is currently holding out of training camp until the team offers […]
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 […]
