C.J. Stroud needs to win at least three Super Bowls or his career will be a disappointment

I think now it's our responsibility as media figures to set some unrealistic expectations. ... How many Super Bowls can he win in order for his career to not be a disappointment? ... You gotta get three or else you suck or else this or else you should have been bad from the get go. But you were so good at the start. Now you have to get three Super Bowls.

He's jokingly setting a bar that is nearly impossible for any QB to meet.

C.J. Stroud has the best rookie season ever for a quarterback

I think the conversation might end with [Stroud] is the best rookie season in its totality in the NFL. ... led him to the Playoffs. This is, and who knows, I mean, they, they're probably, although I'm thinking back to it, like they played the Ravens, I think week one. ... and now winning a Playoff game as a rookie quarterback. I think [Stroud] might be it.

Subjective historical debate, though Stroud's 2023 season is widely considered one of the top 3-5 QB rookie seasons ever by EPA and efficiency metrics.

The Dolphins lack toughness and are officially 'soft'

I know that sounds very, we're like minimizing everything. But the Dolphins do lack toughness. Yeah. ... they're soft. ... The Dolphins are are pretty much predicated on like, you gotta hit those big shots. And on Saturday night there were, there were none.

The Dolphins have struggled in cold weather and against physical teams with winning records consistently.

Jordan Love is officially a future Hall of Famer

The Packers Jordan Love is really fucking good. I've just accepted the fact that he's probably a future Hall of Famer. I'm hoping that, I'm hoping it's just one Super Bowl like the last two guys. ... Jordan Love is so calm, cool, collected everything we said for CJ's job goes for Jordan Love.

It's far too early to tell, but Love's end to 2023 was elite. We'll know in about 15-20 years.

Mike McCarthy is done as the head coach of the Cowboys

Mike McCarthy's out. ... Busiest cat in Texas. ... I think there's gonna be a little cooling off period with Mike McCarthy. 'cause this was a, like, you just can't look. They looked so bad, so bad on offense and defense.

Incorrect. Despite the embarrassing loss, Jerry Jones announced shortly after that McCarthy would return for the 2024 season.

Dak Prescott has the 'yips' and cannot throw the football

I have never seen in person witness someone have the yips like Dak had the yips. ... The first interception was a terrible throw. ... You could see he was telegraphing the pass. ... Dak Prescott, he had the yips. I, there was no other way to describe it. ... Dak Prescott's horrible, like literally is a quarterback that can't throw.

Dak struggled significantly in the first half of this specific game, but 'yips' as a career diagnosis is subjective and controversial given his regular season success.

The Cowboys must get rid of Dak Prescott and hire Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels

I think you gotta get rid of Dak. Okay. You gotta, you can't pay Dak, CD and Parsons. ... You gotta get rid of Dak. You gotta get Bill Belichick in there, clean house. Let 'em, let 'em run the show. ... Belichick and McDaniels together. ... they were dominant. Yeah. You can't deny that.

The Cowboys did not hire Belichick or McDaniels and kept Dak Prescott.

The Cowboys losing takes a lot of pressure off the Eagles locker room

The Cowboys losing has changed everything. It has changed everything. The entire vibe of Philadelphia. ... Nothing the Eagles can do tomorrow is worse than what the Cowboys did today. ... A lot of pressure has been taken, taken off out of that locker room. ... they're not going to say it out loud, but inside of their, inside of their head. Yes.

Subjective locker room psychology, but the Eagles proceeded to lose 32-9 the next day, suggesting the pressure wasn't relieved effectively.

The Eagles are going to smoke the Buccaneers

I think I'm gonna bet the Eagles. I don't, I'm on the Eagles. ... I just think the Bucs have beaten a lot of NFC south teams that don't know. ... I think you're gonna smoke them.

Incorrect. The Buccaneers dominated the Eagles 32-9 on Monday night.

Jerry Reinsdorf is a 'half-ass' owner who set the Bulls Ring of Honor up to fail

Jerry Reinsdorf being the absolute worst. ... He's a fucking half-ass owner. He's bullshit. ... he knew that [Jerry Krause] was gonna get booed. ... He set it up. ... I'm not like absolving the fans, but I think that the real blame should be Jerry Reinsdorf for putting together a half-ass thing.

Subjective criticism of sports ownership, which is a common sentiment among Chicago fans.
