Recap
PFT CommenterStephon Diggs is going to be very good this year
Stephon Diggs is going to be good. You can't go wrong. Demarius [Thomas] is going to split him with Thielen, so go with [Diggs].
Big CatCase Keenum will throw a ton of touchdowns to Demaryius Thomas this season
I would take Demaryius. Yeah, take Demaryius. In case Keenum's going to throw him a shitload of touchdown passes.
Big CatMichigan is going to be very good this year
I think Michigan is going to be very good this year. I've come all the way around. I love Jim Harbaugh, and their defense is going to be so good.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers has not won a Super Bowl because of the eight-year statute of limitations
Aaron Rodgers hasn't won a Super Bowl. He won it too early in his career for it to count for people to remember. I actually agree with that take. I think that there's like an eight-year statute of limitations where I get to forget about your Super Bowl.
Big CatMatthew Stafford stinks as a quarterback, but he is going to be a Hall of Famer
I've stopped my Matthew Stafford slander. He's going to go in the Hall of Fame. You ready for that? Look at his stats. The pendulum has swung the other way. It sucks that I'm admitting it. Matthew Stafford, if you look at his statistics and if he keeps playing for as long as he's going to be, he's going to be a Hall of Famer. He stinks as a quarterback, but he's going to be in the Hall of Fame.
PFT CommenterThe Jaguars can win a Super Bowl with Blake Bortles
He also said that the Jacksonville Jaguars can win a Super Bowl with Blake Bortles. Facts only. He [Jalen Ramsey] knows what he's talking about.
Interview
PFT CommenterChris Carson is going to be a top-five running back in the NFL this year
Chris Carson's going to be a top five running back in the NFL this year. You're welcome.
Andy StaplesGeorgia is becoming the new Alabama
I think Georgia is becoming the new Alabama. And I actually filmed a video where I say, I think Georgia's going to win the SEC this year. Because I think Georgia, by the end of this season, they have to replace so many guys that you know. But the thing is... the guys they have coming in might eventually be better.
Andy StaplesClemson will win the National Championship
National champion, Clemson. I think they wind up going with [Trevor] Lawrence... if the guys are equal again, you're going to go with the higher ceiling guy.
Andy StaplesLSU finally has a legitimate starting quarterback in Joe Burrow
I think LSU has a quarterback now. Because the Ohio State coaches and Ohio State players, I don't think they were blowing smoke when they said Burrow was fairly close to Haskins... This dude could start most places. And if Burrow is pretty good, well, guess what? It's a totally different end.
Andy StaplesLSU will beat Miami in the season opener
I still, with the pass rush that LSU should be able to generate, I like LSU in that game [against Miami].
Andy StaplesThe over on West Virginia's 7.5 win total is a lock
West Virginia, their over-under is 7.5. Oh, wow. I want to hammer that... Will Grier is maybe the best quarterback in the country... They're going to put up sick numbers on offense.
Big CatEvanston at 11:00 AM is the hardest place to play in college football
The hardest place to play in the entire college football landscape at 11 a.m. Oh, no doubt. Evanston, Illinois, 11 a.m., no one wants to be there. Everyone is sleeping. Half the kids played in bigger stadiums in high school with more fans in them. It just puts them to sleep.
