Mitchell Trubisky is the best running quarterback in the league

In the windy city we go, where the NFL's best running quarterback, Mitchell Michael Trubisky, had Bears fans hammering the dog at plus two... Mitch is the best running quarterback in the league.

While Trubisky was a good runner in 2018 (421 yards), Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton were generally considered superior runners.

Cody Kessler is a terrible quarterback

Cody Kessler that guy stinks throwing the ball over the place fumbling he recovered his fumble but still interceptions I get it you gotta maybe sit down the boat [Bortles] for a minute it was uh the engine needs a little tune up but good news the next game for the Jaguars is in London and Blake Bortles owns London.

Kessler finished his career with a 2-10 record as a starter and poor efficiency metrics.

If the Titanic 2 could somehow sink, it would be the greatest moment ever... because you're an asshole for riding on the Titanic 2.

The Titanic II project has been perpetually delayed and has not yet sailed or sunk.

Patrick Mahomes throwing left-footed is better than Cody Kessler

Pat Mahomes throwing with his left foot is better than Cody Kessler.

Mahomes is a generational talent; Kessler was a backup-tier player. The literal claim is likely true given Mahomes' arm talent.

Hue Jackson is objectively a very bad football coach

From where I'm sitting, [Hue Jackson] is objectively a very bad football coach. Okay? And on top of that... He just blames everyone else when shit goes wrong.

Hue Jackson's winning percentage at the time was one of the worst in NFL history for a coach with his longevity.

Bob Wiley should be the Browns head coach because you can trust his gut

There is a dark horse candidate that I think America can all get behind, and that is Bob Wiley. If there's ever a coach that can go with his gut, that you should trust his gut, it's Bob Wiley.

Bob Wiley never became a head coach, and Freddie Kitchens was hired instead.

The Patriots are very beatable without Rob Gronkowski

I thought that I think [the Patriots] are very beatable, though, without Gronk.

The Patriots won the Super Bowl this season (Super Bowl LIII) despite Gronk being physically limited.

The Eagles are suffering a quintessential Super Bowl hangover

No, they are a quintessential Super Bowl hangover. Because every game, they're up 17-0. They're like, oh, we got this... but it's these games that they think they've won and they just lose them.

The Eagles finished 9-7 and barely made the playoffs, a significant drop from their 13-3 championship season.

Justin Tucker is worth a second-round pick

Justin Tucker is the one kicker that I think would actually probably be worth a first-round pick... I'll give you a second.

Subjective value, but Tucker is the most accurate kicker in history, making his value exceptionally high.

Taysom Hill is better at everything Tim Tebow does

[Sean Payton] puts Taysom Hill out there, and Taysom Hill is like Tim Tebow – except he's better at everything Tim Tebow does. He's a better pump protector. He's a better passer. He's a better runner.

Hill has had much more longevity and versatile success in the NFL than Tebow as a non-traditional weapon.

The Saints are the second best team in the NFC

[The Saints] are just five and one now and look like the second best team in the NFC behind the Rams.

The Saints finished as the #1 seed (13-3) in the NFC, actually ahead of the Rams (though the Rams beat them in the NFCCG).

Urban Meyer can't get his team ready for inferior opponents

Urban Meyer's sad faces on the sideline because Ohio State lost a game that they should have won... people are saying, not me, people are saying, Urban Meyer, can he get his team ready for the inferior opponents? I don't know... but this is now becoming a trend for Urban Meyer.

Meyer finished 2018 with another Big Ten title but the loss to Purdue kept them out of the playoff, supporting the idea that one slip-up to a 'lesser' team was a pattern.

Boban Marjanovic is not of this world

My who's back is Boban... His clips of him playing are, I mean, I remember people talking about him last year, but this year it's like surreal. He's not of this world. It's like he's playing on a seven-foot hoop.

Hyperbolic but reflects Boban's historically high PER and physical uniqueness.

The Packers will be the second best team in the NFC by the end of the season

I'll say it's going to be the Packers by the time it turns out [the second best team in the NFC].

The Packers finished 6-9-1 and missed the playoffs entirely; Mike McCarthy was fired mid-season.

The Detroit Lions are a sleeper team for a Wild Card spot

The sleeper team that I was talking about, pointing to for everybody in August, that nobody still is talking about, the Detroit Lions... I wouldn't be surprised if they wind up with a wild card.

The Lions finished 6-10 and last in the NFC North.

Adam Thielen is the best wide receiver in the NFL right now

Thielen, here's a take. I think Thielen's the best wide receiver in the NFL right now. Boom. I said it.

Thielen was statistically the best for the first half of 2018, but players like Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins finished with better overall seasons.

Kirk Cousins is too big of a nerd to ever win a Super Bowl

I also think that Kirk Cousins is too big of a nerd to ever win a Super Bowl... I don't trust a guy like that... He basically thinks he's living inside of a ted talk right now and his job he like reads too many motivational quotes.

As of 2024, Kirk Cousins has not won a Super Bowl or made a deep playoff run.

Phil Rivers is probably the most underrated quarterback of our time. He's for sure a Hall of Famer.

Rivers finished his career with elite passing numbers, though his Hall of Fame status is still debated by some due to lack of rings.

The Bengals/Chiefs over not hitting is a national tragedy

What just happened in that NFL game, not hitting the over, is a national tragedy. It needs to be investigated... It's fucking ridiculous that the Bengals only scored 10 points against the Chiefs defense.

The total was 57.5 and the game ended 45-10 (55 points), so it was indeed a narrow miss.

I'm still going with Tommy [Lasorda]. He's going to die if the Red Sox win.

The Red Sox won the 2018 World Series, but Tommy Lasorda lived until January 2021.
