Brock Purdy is the future for the 49ers and will start over Trey Lance next year

I don't know how Trey Lance is gonna come back and take that job from Brock Purdy. The way that Brock Purdy's playing, he's playing as good as you can possibly hope. I think Brock Purdy's the future for the 49ers.

Purdy remained the starter throughout 2023 and led the team to Super Bowl LVIII, while Trey Lance was traded to the Cowboys.

Brock Purdy is the best Mr. Irrelevant of all time

I'll say this and I have no idea who else is on this list. I'm gonna say right now. Brock Purdy Best Mr. Irrelevant of all time. He's one of one, the best Mr. Irrelevant.

Purdy has since made multiple Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl; no other Mr. Irrelevant has come close to his success as a starting QB.

I refuse to use the word 'Chargers' in the studio until they win a playoff game

I'd like to make a motion to ban the word chargers from the studio. I don't think that we should disrespect this podcast by using that type of language in these walls... until they win a playoff game because the Chargers, they're dead to me.

As of his knowledge cutoff, the Chargers have not won a playoff game since this take was made.

Brandon Staley should be fired and tried for war crimes for his coaching performance

I think that Brandon Staley should be tried for war crimes as a war criminal. I think that it's a disgusting act. What I saw in the entire second half of that game... You can't have a worse coaching back-to-back weeks than what Brandon Staley just did.

Staley was not fired immediately but was fired during the following season on Dec 15, 2023.

The Bills will be in trouble if they turn the ball over against the Bengals or Chiefs

If you play like that against the Bengals or the Chiefs or the Jaguars, you're done. You're done. You're in trouble. They just can't turn the ball over like they do... they played like a B minus game. And to beat the Chiefs and the Bengals, you have to be B plus A minus or better.

The Bills lost 27-10 to the Bengals in the Divisional Round the very next week.

The Vikings were exactly the frauds we said they were all season

I don't wanna say we told you so. I don't either but we told you so... I don't think that I've ever been as right about a take as I have about Kirk Cousins the entire season. I was so Right that it fucking hurts.

The Vikings were indeed the first 13-win team to lose to a 9-win team at home in the Wild Card round.

Daniel Jones was the best quarterback of Wild Card weekend and is the Giants' future

Daniel Jones was the best quarterback this weekend. I don't think it's actually close. He was so fucking good... He now should be the quarterback of the future for the Giant. I don't even think it's up for debate anymore.

Jones was given a 4-year, $160 million contract shortly after this, though his performance plummeted in the years following.

The Cowboys are actually a good team despite everyone's hate

I have serious question... I have serious question. I put one future in for one team in the playoffs and it was not the Vikings. It's the Cowboys. They're going against Tom Brady, we'll see.

The Cowboys beat the Bucs 31-14 that night but were eliminated by the 49ers the next week.

The media will turn on Joe Burrow if he doesn't win a Super Bowl in the next few years

If the Bengals go deep in the playoffs, like let's say the next two to three seasons and they don't win a Super Bowl... they're gonna attack 'em. It's gonna be like, 'don't you know cigars are bad for you?'... Peyton Manning and A-Rod were the biggest chokers of all time until they won.

While injuries have hampered Burrow, the narrative hasn't fully shifted to 'choker' yet, but the honeymoon phase has definitely cooled.

I can hit 8 out of 10 free throws easily

Someone said, how many free throws would you make out of 10? I was like, in my day, I was a prolific free throw shooter... I can easily hit 8 outta 10. Might have been a little ambitious. I went four out of 10 the first time.

Hank literally failed to do it on camera, going 4/10 and then failing his redemption as well.
