Dak Prescott is not the problem in Dallas, the scheme is

I don't think [Dak Prescott sucks]... I think their scheme is so bad. I think they do nothing to help them. I think if Sean McVay went and spent two weeks in Dallas, they'd probably score 30 points a week.

OpinionFootballMediumSubjective
The Cowboys' offense improved significantly once they changed play-callers and eventually coaches (Kellen Moore/Mike McCarthy), suggesting Lombardi was onto something regarding the scheme.

The 2018 Super Bowl will be Rams vs. Chiefs

I think it would be the Rams and the Chiefs, and probably the over would be at 70.

PredictionFootballMedium
This was nearly the matchup. The Rams made it, and the Chiefs lost the AFC Championship in overtime to the Patriots.

Josh Gordon will not have long-range success with the Patriots

I don't think [Josh Gordon] has long-range success written over it... because he's not passionate about football... If you're not willing to do the time and the effort into it, you're just going to get cast aside.

PredictionFootballHot
Gordon played 11 games for the Patriots in 2018 before stepping away for mental health reasons/suspension risk, and was eventually waived in 2019. It was not a long-term solution.

Dont'a Hightower can no longer play linebacker effectively

Hightower can't run like he used to run. And so he's really a defensive end. He can't play linebacker anymore.

OpinionFootballHot
While Hightower did age and slow down, he remained a starting linebacker for the Patriots' Super Bowl LIII winning team later that season.

Derek Carr is not worth a $20 million salary

I'm not sure that [Derek] Carr's worth the $20 million when you watch him play.

OpinionFootballMediumSubjective
This remained a debate for Carr's entire Raiders career; he never reached elite tier despite high pay.
