Recap
PFT CommenterJacoby Brissett is an eight-win quarterback guy under the radar
[Jacoby Brissett] is a good quarterback. He'll get you probably eight wins if he starts the entire season... I'm just saying Jacoby Brissett feels like an eight-win quarterback guy under the radar.
HankI won't get FOMO about Drake Maye sitting because the Patriots are in a rebuilding year
I'm not gonna get FOMO about Drake Maye not starting. Our offensive line's bad. I think our roster's not great. It's okay. It's a rebuilding year. I think you let's embrace it for what it is.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes would be worth over $100 million a year on a truly free market
If the NFL was truly free market capitalism, [Mahomes] might go to the Panthers. David Tepper... he might go for over a hundred million dollars.
Big CatThe NFL should have a separate salary bucket for quarterbacks to keep rosters competitive
Separate salary bucket for quarterbacks. That makes sense. Basically let the quarterbacks get paid something completely separate so it doesn't, again, the cap is, doesn't make sense, but they're so out of control compared to everything else.
Picks
Interview
Brandon WalkerCollege football is better off with a 12-team playoff and it doesn't diminish the regular season
I think this day is a long time coming for college football. Anybody that says college football is worse off for the playoff is lying or just grifting... it doesn't diminish the regular season at all. It makes us have way more games that matter in November.
Brandon WalkerFlorida State is just an average football team, not a playoff contender
That team that we saw play on Saturday [Florida State] is not a playoff team in a 14-format, a 12-team format, a 30-team format. That's an average football team we saw.
Tom FornelliClemson will win the ACC
I have Clemson winning the ACC too. I do think receiver-wise they're gonna be better than they were last year... I think Dabo can win the ACC without using the portal because I don't think the ACC is that good.
Brandon WalkerUtah will lose its toughness advantage moving from the Pac-12 to the Big 12
Utah's main advantage in the Pac-12 was physicality... they could bully those teams. Now most of the Big 12, you probably can do that too, but you ain't doing that to Kansas State... Oklahoma State. That toughness advantage is gone now.
Tom FornelliNo team in the Big 12 will finish with fewer than three losses
My hot take about the Big 12 is that nobody is coming outta that league with fewer than three losses. I think it's gonna be a one-bid league.
Tom FornelliNico Iamaleava is the best quarterback in the country
I'm telling you, Nico's [Iamaleava] the best quarterback in the country. Size-wise, talent-wise, ability-wise, fit in the offense that he's in... I already have the future on Nico's Heisman.
Tom FornelliOklahoma will finish with a better SEC record than Texas in their first year
Oklahoma finishes with a better SEC record than Texas. I think Jackson Arnold will be a step forward for them... my concerns about Texas are shared.
Joey ChestnutI am going to smash the hot dog world record against Kobayashi
I'm gonna smash [the record]. I'm gonna eat more hot dogs than ever before... Right now the over-under is like 66, and I'm gonna blow that out.
