Mitchell Trubisky is going to light it up in the NFL under Matt Nagy

Matt [Nagy] is killer. I mean, I think Mitchell Trubisky's going to light it up. I think he's going to love it. I think they're going to do a bunch, put him in great situations. A lot of RPOs. I think he's a decent athlete, right? Do some fun stuff with him. Oh, yeah. We're going to have fun.

Trubisky had one good year in 2018 (making the Pro Bowl) but overall failed to live up to expectations, was benched, and Nagy was eventually fired. Trubisky did not 'light it up' long term.

Alex Smith is the most Redskins quarterback of all time

Alex Smith is the most Redskins quarterback of all time. He hasn't played a snap, but he is the perfect R-Words quarterback. He is a watercolor version of Brad Johnson. He is more John Beck than John Beck is. He is like Colt McCoy on the world's worst steroids.

While subjective, Alex Smith did have a successful but brief run in Washington before a career-altering injury, similar to the mixed success of other QBs mentioned.

Jay Cutler is now the top prize in the NFL quarterback free agent market

Basically every NFL team, because guess who is now the bell of the ball? Mr. Jay Cutler. Because everyone's getting their franchise quarterbacks. Jacksonville got theirs. Washington got theirs. Who's going to get Jay Cutler?

Cutler did not become the 'bell of the ball'; he retired and moved into reality TV/broadcasting after the 2017 season with the Dolphins.

Robert Griffin III is to blame for the Redskins' current quarterback predicament

If Robert Griffin had done a better job mentoring Kirk Cousins, then they would never have wanted to let Kirk go, and they would have extended him already, and they wouldn't be stuck in this position.

This is a satirical opinion that can't be factually proven; it's a humorous reach.

The NFL needs more players who are 'sensitive' and can't take a joke

I like – I think the NFL needs more of that... like, nobody likes sensitive people. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you can't make fun of somebody.

This is a subjective opinion about league culture.

Being the number one overall pick is a psychological burden for a young player

Being the number one pick, the, the, the weight I carried around, the expectations... I walked around with it everywhere I went... it kind of, you know, a little bit, yeah, it kind of took, you know, kind of digging myself that hole.

This is a personal reflection on his own mental state.

Stability is much harder for a young quarterback when playing for a defensive head coach

As a quarterback, that's the big difference, I think, between playing for a defensive head coach and an offensive head coach. As a defensive head coach, as great as it can be, you're still constantly – if you do well, your coordinator's leaving. And so the stability is always in question there.

This is a widely accepted view among NFL analysts, as successful offensive coordinators under defensive HCs are frequently poached for head coaching roles.
