Recap
PFT CommenterJayden Daniels' Monday night performance was the best game I've ever seen a quarterback play for the Commanders
What I saw last night made me feel emotions that I have not felt in my cold dead football heart in decades... what really got me excited about Jayden was how he handled like third downs, fourth downs. He was cool. He was directing guys around. He was calm in the pocket... I think that's the best game I've ever seen a quarterback play for my team.
Big CatThe Bengals are in deep trouble after starting 0-3 with a defense that can't be fixed
I do think the Bengals are in trouble... only six of the 225 teams that started 0 and 3 in the Super Bowl era have made the playoffs... I don't know where the fixes are on defense. The only fix I have for the Bengals is Joe Burrow has to change his hair color. You can't be 0 and 3 with those frosted tips.
PFT CommenterJayden Daniels will win a Super Bowl in the next five years
I did fire off a tweet at like 3:00 AM as I was, I got back from the casino... and I said that I think [Jayden Daniels] is gonna win a Super Bowl in the next five years. Whoa. And I think he is. Maybe even two.
Big CatJosh Allen is the second-best quarterback in the NFL
Josh Allen is what a franchise quarterback looks like. And we've said it a million times. Just because he's not Patrick Mahomes doesn't mean he's [not] the second—he is the second best quarterback in the NFL.
PFT CommenterThe Bills losing Stefon Diggs was addition by subtraction
It probably is addition by subtraction, losing Diggs. Oh, definitely. And Gabe Davis... it feels like this. Josh [Allen] is like star. He's turned a brand new page clean slate for this team. So he doesn't have any of that excess baggage that he used to have.
Big CatTravis Hunter should be the Heisman winner because he is the best football player in the country
Travis Hunter should be the Heisman. And maybe it's because I bet on him pre-season, but Travis Hunter should be the Heisman... if you actually voted for Heisman how it should be voted—best player, not how every award now gets voted on... Travis Hunter should be your Heisman Trophy winner because he is the best football player in college football.
Interview
Michael SilverMike Shanahan essentially acts as a 'shadow GM' for the 49ers by watching all film and meetings
I did spend a bunch of time with [Mike Shanahan] in May and June of 2022... there is something at 49ers headquarters referred to as the 'Shana-Cam', which basically means Mike Shanahan needs to watch meetings and practice ASAP virtually. So he's, some people think he's the shadow GM. I think that's an exaggeration. But he's... he's still got it.
Michael SilverThe Chicago Bears are the most under-marketed entity in American commerce
I don't believe that there is a more under-marketed entity in American commerce than the Chicago Bears... in this city... it's a football town... and with the Bears, you know, in '85 and like that was, it was just, it engulfed everything. And they've been living off it since.
