The Dallas Cowboys are basically the same team they were last year

Dallas fans are so confident right now, as they should be. You're a good team, but you're basically the same team that you've been, or that you were last year at least. Yeah. Well, well, Mike McCarthy is the same guy that he was last year.

The Cowboys finished 12-5 for the third straight year and suffered another early, embarrassing playoff exit (Wild Card vs Packers), validating the take that they hadn't actually changed their ceiling.

Dak Prescott is a legitimate NFL MVP candidate

Dak Prescott's playing way better than last year. He is playing out of his mind. Like, and I know he probably won't win the MVP because the MVP's gonna go to the one seed... I'm just saying Dak Prescott. I mean, he's playing phenomenal, phenomenal football.

Dak Prescott finished 2nd in MVP voting for the 2023 season, losing to Lamar Jackson. He led the NFL in passing touchdowns (36), proving he was a top-tier candidate.

DK Metcalf is the fastest dude in the NFL

DK [Metcalf] had a hell of a game... they said that he reached a speed of like 22.2 miles per hour, which is 0.2 miles per hour faster than Tyreek Hill has been with the ball this year. And for DK to be faster than Tyreek Hill, despite the fact that he outweighs him by, what do you think? 50 pounds? Is insane. It's insane that, that's the fastest dude in the NFL.

DK Metcalf recorded the fastest ball-carrier speed of the 2023 season at 22.23 mph. However, Tyreek Hill has historically recorded higher speeds and is widely considered faster in a vacuum, though Metcalf held the 'crown' for this specific metric in 2023.

Every NFC South coach who doesn't win the division will be fired

Whoever wins the NFC South will not fire their coach going into next season. Agreed. Every other team will... I'm not saying that they should... we can say the entire NFC South is coaching for their job.

The Bucs won the division and kept Todd Bowles. Arthur Smith (Falcons) was fired. However, Dennis Allen (Saints) did not win the division but was NOT fired, making this prediction only partially correct.

The 49ers will beat the Eagles this Sunday, but the Eagles will win the NFC Championship rematch

The Eagles have the defense... played 92 snaps on Sunday. That's a lot of snaps... I feel like the Niners have this game circled more than the Eagles can. And I think that like, this will be the NFC championship game in the Eagles will probably beat them in the NFC championship game. But I feel like this Sunday it's Niners.

The Niners did beat the Eagles 42-19 that Sunday. However, the Eagles collapsed at the end of the season, losing in the Wild Card round to the Bucs. They never reached the NFC Championship game, and the 49ers went to the Super Bowl.

I will never officially retire from the NFL

I don't think I would ever retire. Oh. Oh... I'm one of those guys... if I were to come back at that particular point in time, it would be just for the fans... I'm just waiting on somebody to tick me off.

As of late 2024, Cam Newton has not filed official retirement papers with the NFL, though he has not been signed to a team since 2021.

I could catch 10 passes in an NFL game today if I played tight end

I mean, at tight end? Sure. I could get 10 catches receiver three... slant back shoulder type... being savvy and understand how to get in certain positions.

Marshall did not return to the NFL. While unfalsifiable in a real game, the physical demands of the modern NFL make a 10-catch performance for a 40-year-old retired WR nearly impossible.

The Bears should put Justin Fields in a high-gear, uptempo offense

I would have that fucker in high gear. High gear... I think a beneficiary who would benefit off of a uptempo offense is Justin Fields. Because a tired lineman... does not want to run around trying to chase a quarterback. When they do uptempo and they let him like be himself, he looks great.

The Bears traded Fields after the season. While some analysts agree with Cam, the Bears' offensive staff never fully committed to this 'high-gear' style with Fields, making its effectiveness in Chicago a 'what-if'.

Peyton Manning did the NFL a disservice by creating an unrealistic standard for athletic quarterbacks

Peyton Manning did this league a disservice... by having like, you know, 350 yards passing... All right, here comes Michael Vick. Here comes a Cam Newton... athletic quarterbacks that we're going to get the yards elsewhere... it's not the prototypical way. We're used to seeing yards being made.

This is a subjective football philosophy take. Cam is arguing about the perception of the QB position, which can't be objectively proven right or wrong but is a significant cultural critique of NFL scouting and media.

The Broncos' 2023 turnaround is 100% because Russell Wilson never folded as a leader

This season turned around. It starts with leadership and it starts with one guy, Russell Wilson... he doesn't change, he doesn't fold even when it fucking hurts... he stayed the same... my theory is that the turnaround happened because Russell Wilson and his unwavering faith, he never folded even when it hurt.

While Wilson played better during the win streak, the defense also improved historically (16 turnovers in 5 games). The Broncos later benched Wilson for the final two games of the season, casting doubt on him being the long-term solution.

The Eminem song 'FACK' is the worst song of all time

I downloaded Eminem's song. Fac. FACK And it is maybe the worst song of all time, right? It's, it's so bad. I actually do think it's the worst song of all time.

Subjective music opinion. 'FACK' is notoriously hated even by Eminem fans and critics, often cited as one of the worst songs by a major artist.
