Ben Johnson will be the next head coach of the Jaguars

The Jacks are gonna get Ben Johnson. I've, I've resigned myself to that. I I think that's, that's exactly what's gonna happen... They're gonna get Trevor Lawrence back and Ben Johnson.

The Jaguars coaching search is pending.

Michael Penix Jr. is definitively the guy for the Falcons

But I feel like Penix is the guy. I think he's the guy I'm ready to say right now. I think he's the guy.

Penix's career success is subjective and pending long-term results.

The Bills will demolish the Broncos in the Wild Card round

I think the Bills are going to fucking demolish the Broncos. [I] might, by the way, I think I saw the line open at seven and a half. If it, if it's seven or even six and a half, I might Game of the year. The bills.

The outcome is pending as the episode is discussing the upcoming Wild Card schedule.

Anthony Richardson is not the answer for the Colts

Chris Ballard is getting his job, keeping his job... Anthony Richardson is not the answer. I've been saying that for a very long time. I think most Colts fans agree.

This is a long-term career judgment that remains subjective for now.

Jameis Winston should be the bridge quarterback for the Steelers

If you're the Steelers and you're getting your bridge quarterback and you want a guy that's going to take chances and if it, it goes well, it's gonna be electric... and that's Jameis Winston. You get Jameis in there... It is like is the antidote to everything that you've been in the last four seasons.

This is an off-season move suggestion; correctness depends on if they actually sign him.

Lamar Jackson has more pressure than anyone else in the 2025 playoffs

I think the Ravens have the most pressure because Derrick Henry's also not going getting younger. And Lamar again, Lamar is the, is the best player in the NFL right now playing the best football. He's gonna win an MVP most likely... if they don't at least get to the Super Bowl... there's gonna be a lot of questions.

Pressure rankings are subjective, though playoff outcomes will inform the legacy aspect.

Cam Ward is a better NFL prospect than Shedeur Sanders

I have Cam Ward ahead of Shedeur on big board. I do, I do too... I have Hunter is two and then I've got Cam Ward then Shedeur. That's my top four.

Draft results and NFL careers are yet to be determined.

Mike Vrabel will be the next head coach of the Patriots

I do think it was a smart decision [to fire Jerod Mayo]. I also think that they wouldn't have done it as quickly as they did if they didn't know that they are getting the coach that they want. Which I believe is Mike Vrabel... I am of the belief that the answer to that question is yes.

The Patriots coaching search outcome is pending.

Kyler Murray is not a 'confetti quarterback' who can win a Super Bowl

Kyler's not a confetti quarterback. Can you close your eyes and see confetti coming on, coming down on Kyler? No... because like, think about it like there's so much confetti then you're like, where'd Kyler go? Can't find him. Gets lost in it.

This is a purely subjective aesthetic/narrative take.

The Giants should hire Steve Sarkisian and tank for Arch Manning

So if they do fire Daboll, what about this plan? [Steve] Sark[isian] and then you just wait for Arch. You do one season of tanking... Then you tank a little bit... You tank and then Draft Arch. Because if you're a Giants fan, that that should get your blood going a little bit. Right? Yeah. Like just picturing a Manning jersey.

This is a speculative hypothetical plan that is unlikely to be literally followed.

The Bears will hire Brian Flores and won't even interview Ben Johnson

The organization is not in a good place... Everything that I've read and heard, the Bears are going to hire Brian Flores. They're probably not even gonna interview Ben Johnson... Ryan Poles is gonna keep his job and that's gonna be an awkward [situation].

The Bears coaching hire is pending.
