Recap
PFT CommenterKyle Shanahan is a quarterback killer
He might be a quarterback killer. If you go back and you look at the quarterbacks that have played under Kyle Shanahan, they put up good stats occasionally, but then after he leaves, it all goes to shit. He's had Johnny Manziel, RG3, that's Rex Grossman III, also the other RG3, John Beck, Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan, who never won another MVP after Kyle Shanahan, and then Jimmy Garoppolo.
PFT CommenterThe Cardinals are dedicated to rebuilding their franchise using 'short kings'
I've noticed that the Cardinals are kind of dedicated to rebuilding their franchise using short kings. So, Andy Isabella... Rondale Moore, that's the guy from Purdue, right? He's awesome. Short king that squats like 700 pounds or whatever. It's partially that you don't want Kyler [Murray] to be shorter than all of his receiving options.
PFT CommenterTrevor Lawrence will make Urban Meyer's NFL career appear successful in hindsight
I think Trevor Lawrence is going to be good enough to make Urban Meyer's NFL career appear successful in hindsight.
Big CatRunning back is the one position you don't take in the first round
Running back is the one position you don't take in the first round and I know there's obviously people can go back and forth... it just feels like the running back position you can usually find a guy who's 90% the abilities of a first round guy in the third and fourth.
PFT CommenterAaron Rodgers should go on a public hunger strike to get traded
Aaron Rodgers, I know you listen to the show... do a public hunger strike. Have a live cam on you, do a stream and prove that you're not going to eat anything until either they fire this guy [Gutenkunst] or you get traded to whatever. If anybody's the type of personality to try doing like a Gandhi technique, it's Aaron Rodgers.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterThis summer will be the 'Summer of Fake Butts'
I have a theory. This is going to be the summer of fake butts. The Roaring Twenties. My theory is that a lot of people got elective cosmetic surgery during this year that the world hit pause. And this summer, you're going to see a lot of fake asses that come out of nowhere.
Big CatLou Dort is the best on-ball defender in the NBA
He is absolutely the best on-ball defender. He will lock you down. Lou Dort, he's the best. Dort-your-chamber.
Interview
Eddie GeorgeLorenzo Neal belongs in the NFL Hall of Fame
I personally do [think he belongs in the Hall of Fame]... I don't know what the credentials or the criteria is for a fullback, but the man has blocked for me, LaDainian Tomlinson, who's in the Hall of Fame, Corey Dillon, who's in the Hall of Fame, Adrian Murrell. I think everybody that ran behind Lorenzo has had a breakout year. And he would do things that most fullbacks wouldn't do.
Eddie GeorgeBeing the first Madden cover athlete is a more iconic accomplishment than winning the Heisman
I'd never thought of that as an accomplishment. But now that you mentioned it, you're absolutely correct. That is an iconic game... If you go back to that first game that I was on, I mean, everybody looks the exact same. Running backs look like linemen. Linemen look like corners... I'm one of one.
Monday Reading
PFT CommenterWriting an article about what is 'cheugy' is the most 'cheugy' thing you can do
I think the most cheugy thing you can do is to write an article about whether something is cheugy or not.
