All Takes
Jimmy Garoppolo is essentially Cody Kessler with a better logo
The way I've described him is it's like if you go into a shop and you've got 10 shirts that are exactly the same. It's like buying the one with the Nike logo on it. It's not necessarily a better shirt. It just looks better. [Garoppolo] and Cody Kessler is not a big difference.
Mitchell Trubisky should start immediately rather than sitting
Normally, you want to sit a rookie quarterback if he needs to fix his footwork or fix his throwing motion... But Trubisky's got good feet. He reacts to pressure well... I would play him so he can learn. He's got good accuracy. He's a good athlete. He's really poised. He can go through reads. And I'd happily take him as a starter.
Brock Osweiler has no idea what he is looking at on the field despite his physical advantages
Brock Osweiler is beautiful because he's like a deer in the pocket where he's just falling over himself. And he's got all that height to see everything, but he has no idea what he's looking at. So he just ends up throwing the ball at defenders all day.
Even in retirement, Jay Cutler is a better quarterback option than Josh McCown
I think I'd take Jay Cutler, even while retired Jay Cutler, because Josh McCown is, much like Ryan Fitzpatrick, he's one of these brilliant players who fits every system... but throws loads of interceptions, runs into every sack, and can't run any system.
Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL
Well, I think the obvious one is Aaron Rodgers... [His struggles were because] His wide receivers can't catch the ball. Davante Adams can't get open. Jordy Nelson couldn't move because he was coming off an ACL tear.
Tom Brady showed signs of regression in the 2016 playoffs despite winning the Super Bowl
The playoffs last year weren't great. I know they won the Super Bowl, they came back, but in the fourth quarter of that Falcons game, if you go through it, he threw the ball to defenders. On the Edelman catch, if you look at where that ball arrives and where he threw it, it was straight to the defender... That's just lucky.
Philip Rivers had a better career than Tony Romo because he reached an AFC Championship game
Better career, probably Rivers, because he actually got to an AFC Championship game... Rivers is phenomenal at making the players work as designed... Romo was kind of great at playing outside of the system, outside of structure when the pocket broke down.
