The 49ers would win the Super Bowl if it were played today

The 49ers. Congratulations. The 49ers. They won the Week five Super Bowl. If the Super Bowl were played today, I say that the 49ers would win easily.

The 49ers were the #1 seed and reached the Super Bowl, though they eventually lost to the Chiefs in overtime. At this specific point in the season, they were arguably the best team.

Brock Purdy is 100% a top 10 quarterback

Brock Purdy is 100% a top 10 quarterback. If you disagree, you aren't watching the games. Brock Purdy is just good. He's just very good.

Purdy finished the season as a Pro Bowler, led the league in passer rating, and was an MVP finalist. He is widely considered a top 10 QB by metrics and most analysts.

The Eagles, 49ers, and Lions are the only three really good teams in the NFC

I feel like today was a day that we found out there are three really, really good teams in the NFC and then there's everyone else. I'm referring to the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions.

These three teams were indeed the top three seeds in the NFC and the last three NFC teams standing in the playoffs.

The Cowboys will get smoked if they make it past the divisional round of the playoffs

This team [Cowboys] might make it to the divisional round of the playoffs. They're gonna get smoked if they make it any, anywhere past that. And you can't feel any differently.

The Cowboys actually lost in the Wild Card round to the Packers, so they didn't even make it to the divisional round where Hank thought they might get 'smoked'.

NFL teams should fly to London earlier and use medically induced comas to acclimate

What should happen is the moment you get a chance, like maybe that Monday... you put your guys in medically induced coma, knocked them out, put them onto London time, get their body naturally acclimated, fly them over while they're all knocked out. And then you get there, you practice through the week. You use a copious amount of drugs to put them asleep at night and wake them up in the morning.

This is a medical impossibility and highly illegal, though the Bills did play 'sleepy' as he noted.

Jalen Warren should be getting Najee Harris's touches for the Steelers

Jalen Warren should get Najee Harris' touches. He's so good. So much better than Najee Harris. Anybody with eyes can see Jalen Warren carry the ball and be like, this guy has 10 times the burst Najee has.

Warren continued to outproduce Najee in efficiency (5.3 vs 4.1 YPC) throughout the season, leading to a much more even split by season's end.

The Panthers will get their first win of the season at home against the Falcons

I'm gonna say tie [against the Colts]... They finish off at home against the Packers at the Jaguars at home against the Bucs... There's gonna be, they're gonna beat the Falcons at home.

The Panthers actually got their first win on October 29th against the Houston Texans. They did eventually beat the Falcons at home in December, but it wasn't their first win.

The Patriots should rebuild around the lighthouse and fire Bill Belichick and Mac Jones

The lighthouse is all we got. That's really the only, like, I think you rebuild around the lighthouse. Get rid of Belichick, get rid of Mac Jones and just build around the lighthouse. Build an entire team around the lighthouse.

The Patriots did eventually move on from both Mac Jones and Bill Belichick after the season.

Bill Belichick is ruining the Patriots on purpose to make them easier to beat when he joins a new team

I think he's ruining the Patriots because he's gonna go somewhere else and then he'll make the Patriots easier to beat when he's at the next location. Vrabel to the Patriots Belichick to the Titans... Vanderbilt is where my dad coached Nashville is where I was born... It's coming home.

Belichick did leave the Patriots, but he did not join the Titans; he remained a free agent and media personality for the 2024 season.

CJ Stroud needs to throw a reckless triple-coverage interception to be a true gunslinger

I'd like him to just throw a ball that, you know, there's no chance it's gonna be completed... he needs to throw a reckless interception. Like triple coverage. Just trying to do it all in arm strength.

Stroud eventually threw his first interception the following week against the Saints. He maintained an elite TD-to-INT ratio throughout the season.

It is 'loser shit' to ban the Brotherly Shove just because defenses can't stop it

The NFL actually might stop it... which is it's, that's loser shit right there. Listen, I'm saying this as a Commanders fan, as a division rival, it's loser shit to ban the brotherly shove because just 'cause you can't stop it doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to do it.

The NFL ultimately decided not to ban the play for the 2024 season, agreeing with the sentiment that it is a legal football play.

Zach Wilson is the third-best quarterback in the AFC East

I think objectively speaking, you can say that Zach Wilson is the third best quarterback in the AFC East. Big difference. Russell Wilson stinks and what we said, he looked okay the first four games, but he had to play a real defense for once.

By season's end, both Jones and Wilson were benched. Most metrics would place Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Allen 1-2, leaving the 3-spot for a debate between the benched Wilson and Jones.

Justin Ross could be the next breakout star for the Chiefs' wide receiver corps

Justin Ross had a great catch today. Incredible catch. He is. They're gonna unlock him at some point this year. You saw one great catch from him. He's a massive target... Justin Ross could be the next guy up for the Chiefs wide receiver corps.

Ross never truly 'broke out' in 2023, finishing with only 6 receptions for 53 yards on the season.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going to break up soon

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift... we're gonna break up. Allegedly. She's gotta go back out on tour. Travis has got some rehabbing to do with the injury. Not gonna have as much time. I think, you know, this is kind of the three week honeymoon phase is over.

As of late 2024, the couple is still together and appears very public with their relationship.

Brock Purdy is a top five quarterback in the NFL

My overly direct take... Brock Purdy this year is a top five quarterback in the NFL. I like it. Top five. I think he's number five in the NFL right now... If he gets to a Super Bowl, I'm gonna say it. Brock Purdy might be elite.

Purdy finished the 2023 season 4th in MVP voting, arguably making him a top 5 QB for that specific season by consensus voting.

Mac Jones will be benched by Halloween

My overly direct take... is that Mac Jones will be benched before Halloween. Just benched. For Bailey Zappy maybe.

Mac Jones was not officially benched as the starter until after the Germany game on November 12, well after Halloween.
