The Steelers cannot bench Justin Fields for Russell Wilson as long as they are winning

It feels like he's [Fields] kind of rounding into form to being a winning quarterback... I personaly would not [bench him]... you cannot bench a three and oh quarterback... You gotta wait until something bad happens and like he has a bad game and then maybe make a switch.

Mike Tomlin eventually did bench a winning Justin Fields for Russell Wilson in Week 7, and the team improved, proving Big Cat's 'you cannot' rule wrong in this specific instance.

The start of the 2024 season proves that coaching matters more than anything else in the NFL

The big picture for me before we get into all the games is Sam Darnold's three and oh, Geno Smith's three and oh... this start of the 2024 season has just been a red blinking light of coaching matters a lot.

The season-long success of Sam Darnold and Jared Goff, contrasted with the struggles of highly-drafted QBs in poor systems, generally supported this theme throughout 2024.

Kevin O'Connell is one of the best coaches in the NFL

Minnesota might have one of the best coaches in the league. Yes. And I would also put McVay's performance this week right up there too.

O'Connell led the Vikings to a surprisingly successful season and is widely regarded as a top-tier offensive mind.

Nick Sirianni does not deserve to be let off the hook for his poor coaching despite the Eagles' win

I'm hoping that Max doesn't let [Sirianni] off the hook. Yeah. He doesn't deserve to be left off the hook. They won the game and they were the better team in this game... That was a horrible display of coaching from him today.

Subjective opinion on coaching performance.

I love the DJ Moore trade for the Bears because it clears cap space for Max Crosby or Tyler Linderbaum

I love this trade because you clear up money. [DJ Moore's] got a big pretty hefty contract so you clear up money to maybe go get a Max Crosby or a Linderbaum. You get a pick and you make the bet that Luther Burden and Rome Odunze are gonna be taking leaps forward.

The trade is real in this transcript's timeline. The outcome of the cap space usage depends on free agency results.

DJ Moore would not have had a 1,000-yard season if he stayed in the Bears' offense

He could have a thousand yards [with the Bills] and be like, wow. How, how could you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this Bear's offense.

Moore finished the 2023 season with 1,364 yards for the Bears, so this retrospective hypothetical is likely incorrect as he had already proven he could do it.

Malik Willis is the #1 free agent backup quarterback

Top quarterback free agents... Is it also Malik Willis? Malik Willis is, yes. So he's number one. Malik Willis one.

Willis was traded to the Packers in 2024 and performed well as a backup, but ranking him #1 over established vets is a subjective value judgment.
