Malik Willis is so bad he might be cut by the Titans next year

How bad is Malik Willis to not be getting to start? He's gotta be so bad that there's a good chance that they cut him next year. That he's not even on the roster. Because if you have a rookie that you spent a decent drafting... and he's so bad that you won't let him even see the field in a playoff game.

Willis remained on the Titans roster through the 2023 season, though he was eventually traded to the Packers in 2024.

The Dolphins should fire Mike McDaniel to guarantee another playoff appearance

The Dolphins have made the playoffs three times in the last 20 years and all of them with first year head coaches. Tony Sparano, Adam Gase, Mike McDaniel... Why not just fire him? Fire him. Get somebody new in there, get some new blood. You have a better chance.

The Dolphins did not fire Mike McDaniel; he returned for the 2023 season and made the playoffs again, breaking the 'first year only' streak.

Sam Ehlinger would succeed in a Kyle Shanahan offense

If [Sam Ehlinger] was in a Shanahan offense, I think he'd have a lot of success.

Ehlinger has remained a backup on the Colts and has not played in a Shanahan system.

The Bears should use a 'smokescreen' about drafting a QB to drive up the #1 pick's value

I want everyone to know that what I'm about to say is smokescreen. Justin Fields might not be the guy. The Bears might draft a quarterback... You better trade and trade a lot for that number one pick here.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The Bears successfully traded the pick to the Panthers for a massive haul (D.J. Moore and multiple picks) after maintaining the mystery of what they'd do with it.

Aaron Rodgers has officially retired from football

I think he's retired. I think he's done. He didn't talk much after the game. They asked him for a jersey swap. He said no, hang on to this one. And then he walked into the hallway with Randall Cobb arm in arm... as a body language expert, I think that Aaron Rodgers has retired from football as first reported by Pardon My Take.

Rodgers did not retire; he was traded to the New York Jets and played in the 2023 season.

Jared Goff is the franchise quarterback for the Detroit Lions

Dan Campbell's building something and guess what? I think Jared Goff is his, the quarterback... he is fucking good.

Goff led the Lions to the NFC Championship game the following season and signed a massive contract extension.

Having the #1 overall pick is the second-best outcome a team can have

I'd actually argue that the number one pick, if you can't win the Super Bowl, that's the second best spot to be in. Number one pick. Give the number one pick. Otherwise you just get really tired and you have to go through the playoffs. You're just a loser. Number one pick when the calendar turns, who's in the driver's seat? The number one pick.

This is a subjective philosophy of team building, though many Bears fans agreed after they traded the pick for a massive haul.

Sean McVay is taking a hiatus from coaching

I think that he's actually done... If you get into media, all of a sudden you're working around all other media people... He should have retired after last year. Go make a shitload of money on TV... pick a spot that's like set up for the future.

Sean McVay announced he would return to coach the Rams for the 2023 season shortly after this episode aired.

Dak Prescott stinks and I don't believe in him

Dak Prescott seven straight games with an interception. Yeah. He stinks. He's bad. I don't believe in him whatsoever. I'm sorry. I just don't.

Dak Prescott led the NFL in passing touchdowns in 2023, though he continued to struggle in the playoffs, keeping this take eternally debatable.
