Trevor Lawrence is the greatest rookie quarterback of all time given the circumstances

Trevor Lawrence is actually the greatest rookie quarterback of all time given the circumstances, given the fact that his coach [Urban Meyer] is the horniest guy in the world, the team stinks... he's providing a steady hand and he's guiding this franchise during a tumultuous time.

Lawrence had a mediocre rookie season statistically but the Urban Meyer situation was indeed historically dysfunctional.

Tua Tagovailoa is a 'wait and see' guy who will ruin your franchise

When you have a guy that is a wait and see guy, those are the worst guys. Those are the guys that like 10 years from now, 15 years from now, you look back and you're like, well, we really wasted three years... the wait and see guys, they will ruin your franchise because you're like, I think this guy can be good if we just get stability around him.

Tua eventually developed into an efficient starter under Mike McDaniel, though the 'wait and see' period was long.

You cannot trust a left-handed quarterback

I do think when you're a wait and see guy and your guy that might not be very good is also a lefty... I don't know, I really do think lefties, I think we've heard players say that it's weird, it's different catching a ball from a lefty... I've just always thought lefties are weird.

There is no statistical evidence that left-handedness correlates with NFL failure, though the spin is different.

The Cincinnati Bengals are 'good-ish' and will be a .500 team

I'm officially ready to declare today at 4-2... the Cincinnati Bengals are good-ish. I'm looking at the Bengals schedule moving forward... I think the Bengals are going to be a .500 ball club.

The Bengals actually went 10-7 and made the Super Bowl, far exceeding a .500 finish.

Joe Judge will be the first NFL coach fired

I think we're officially on Joe Judge watch... things fall apart very quickly for Joe Judge types... he feels like the first to go.

Joe Judge was fired after the season, but Urban Meyer was fired mid-season before him.

Streaming services should pay to show fans running on the field

Have there be a policy on your streaming service that you will always show any fan that runs on the field. You can pay extra for that. I would absolutely be like, alright, I'm going to watch this game on Peacock and not on NBC.

This has not happened as a formal policy for networks due to security concerns.

Aaron Rodgers still owns the Chicago Bears and it is soul-crushing

Aaron Rodgers owns my fucking life and I'm sick of it... He's 22-5 against the Bears. Rent-free doesn't begin to cut it... it sucks how much he owns the Bears.

Rodgers' record against the Bears is statistically dominant, making the 'ownership' claim factually robust.

Patrick Mahomes is still the best quarterback in the NFL

Yeah, he's still the best quarterback in the NFL when he's like—the reason why he gets like rope here, it's just the same way that like Aaron Rodgers gets rope... I'm not concerned long term.

Mahomes remained a top-tier QB and won the Super Bowl a year later, justifying Big Cat's lack of concern.

The Washington Football Team exploited Sean Taylor's death to distract from front office scandals

If they literally were exploiting Sean Taylor's death, the one player that I care about... to get the stank off of their front office, that's a new low. And I think they were. I might be out.

The timing was widely criticized by national media as a transparent PR distraction from the Jon Gruden email fallout and WFT investigations.

Sam Darnold is definitely not fixed

The idea that Sam Darnold was fixed because he left the Jets is just insane. He was bad again today... Breaking news: he's not fixed.

Darnold was benched later in the season and struggled throughout his Panthers tenure.

Tony Romo is no longer a top-tier announcer

That's probably if like in 20 years when they write the book about Pardon My Take, I think that like us being the first to say Tony Romo not that good. That'd be a big one.

The sentiment toward Romo shifted significantly among general NFL fans in the following years.

The Green Bay Packers will not win the Super Bowl because Aaron Rodgers doesn't win championships anymore

I don't think that the Packers can be in [Super Bowl contenders] unfortunately... because Aaron Rodgers, he doesn't win championships.

The Packers lost in the Divisional Round to the 49ers as the #1 seed that season.

Coach Ed Orgeron will return as a 'full-time interim coach' for hire

Next time any program needs an interim head coach, he should be interim for hire. He should be a full-time interim coach.

PredictionCFBMediumSarcastic
Orgeron effectively retired from coaching after LSU and did not take any interim roles.

Florida QB Anthony Richardson is Cam Newton 2.0 and a 2022 Heisman candidate

Florida's quarterback that they put in second [Anthony Richardson] is Cam Newton 2.0, yes. He's on my big board for Heisman next year.

Richardson did not win the Heisman and had a volatile collegiate career, though his physical profile did lead to him being the #4 overall pick in the NFL draft.
