Baker Mayfield is having the best year of all the rookie quarterbacks

I'm going to give it to my guy, Baker Mayfield. I just feel like, given how bad that offensive line is, the way that he stood in there and taken some of these hits and made plays... the performances that he's put up with all the turmoil inside the organization have been kind of crazy.

Mayfield finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting and broke the rookie passing TD record at the time.

Josh Rosen has been the most disappointing rookie quarterback

The one that really disappoints, I think, it's probably Josh Rosen. Any one of these guys, given no-skill position players around them, some uninspired play calling could look as bad as Josh Rosen looks right now.

Rosen was traded after one year and never developed into a successful NFL starter, confirming the 'disappointing' label.

The only way to slow down Drew Brees and the Saints is with interior defensive pressure

Interior pressure. Drew Brees trying to find passing lanes with a center and a guard's ass in his face. That's how teams have beaten them in the past.

This is a widely accepted scouting report on Brees throughout his career, though inherently subjective in its execution.

Offensive linemen secretly hated playing with Michael Vick because his scramble drills led to injuries

A story I've always wanted to write, guys that played with Michael Vick secretly hated it because he was running around so much that people ended up falling all around their legs because the plays were going on too long. And there were several careers that were cut short or ended... because they played too long with Michael Vick.

This is a historical perspective based on Klemko's reporting, making it a matter of journalistic opinion/finding.

John Harbaugh will be the Ravens' coach for another year

I think they finish strong, and I think Harbaugh is going to be the coach there for another year... I would put money on Harbaugh being there for a while.

Harbaugh remained the coach of the Ravens and is still there years later.

Washington doesn't have a chance to right the ship and make the playoffs

I think [the Redskins] don't have a chance just because I think the division got that much better.

Washington finished 8-7-1 and narrowly missed the playoffs.

Tom Brady will be the best he's ever been in 2016 and the Patriots will win 14 or 15 games

I think New England's going to go 14-2 or 15-1. I think Tom Brady's so angry right now, and he's going to be the best player he's ever been.

The Patriots went 14-2 and won the Super Bowl; Brady threw 28 TDs and only 2 INTs in 12 games.

The Panthers and Cardinals will meet in the NFC Championship game

I'll put Cam Newton back in the Super Bowl just because I'm boring like that. I think maybe Arizona would be my fourth team. Give me that NFC championship right there.

Both the Panthers and Cardinals missed the playoffs entirely in 2016.

You don't need to wash apples from a grocery store

I feel like there's a little bit more class in the apple handling department at a grocery store... [Gas station apples] I don't even want to touch the key to get into the bathroom to use the sink... I don't wash [grocery store apples].

Food safety experts generally recommend washing all produce, but this is a subjective habit.
