NFL quarterbacks should beg to be traded to the NFC to avoid the AFC gauntlet

This realignment to me also feels like when the west, for the first time in a long time, got really good in the NBA... The AFC just continues to stack up quarterbacks. If I were an NFL player, I would want to play in the NFC right now. I'm a quarterback. It's like, send me to the NFC. I've got Aaron Rodgers, who's got probably a couple more years, and then he's done... but as far as the NFC goes, it's like wide open.

The AFC indeed became a gauntlet of elite QBs (Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Watson, Wilson, Jackson) while the NFC was top-heavy with aging stars.

Matt Ryan is still an above-average quarterback

I like the move. I don't know. I know Matt Ryan gets shit on. I think he's an above-average quarterback. He probably doesn't have many years left.

Matt Ryan was arguably a bottom-tier starter for the 2022 season, leading to his benching and eventual retirement from playing.

Matt Ryan is the most Indiana-looking person in history

He's the most Indiana looking person maybe ever. There's perfect. Like you created a video game character and you stopped halfway through because you didn't really care how much detail you wanted to put on his face.

Subjective opinion on aesthetics and regional vibes.

The middle class of NFL quarterbacks is being wiped out

To be a quarterback, never a better time to be a quarterback. If you're an elite quarterback kind of a shitty time to be a quarterback. If you're a 'yeah, but' guy... like Baker Mayfield, where does he go? Does Jordan Love ever get a starting shot? Like Jimmy G... th that second, third, fourth tier of guys, it feels like they basically get a couple shots. And then it's like, all right, we're moving on.

The league has moved toward a model where if you aren't the guy, teams will churn through options (e.g., Colts, Panthers, Saints).

Arm length doesn't matter for a tackle as long as the quarterback doesn't have tiny hands

Arm length doesn't always dictate everything. If you have a guy that's got short arms that's playing tackle, it's not the end of the world unless maybe you also have a quarterback with tiny hands, in which case it's like synergy factors. Right. Where if the guy with short arms can't block the guy and then the guy with tiny hands gets hit, more likely to fumble.

Whether specific arm length correlates to fumbles based on QB hand size is largely theoretical and difficult to prove or disprove.

You should never order appetizers at a steakhouse to maximize your sides

I'm of the mindset now that you don't need any appetizers at steakhouses. It's, it's a good place to run Zero apps... You don't need the calamari at a steakhouse... The sides at a steakhouse are elite. The mashed potatoes are always elite... mac and cheese always elite at a steakhouse, you wanna maximize your sides to go with a steak.

This is entirely a matter of personal dining preference.

Trent Williams is the rare offensive lineman who is actually fun to watch play

Trent Williams is a joy to have on your team. He's just a fucking bully. He's also the rare offensive lineman where you have fun watching him play. Like after the ball was snapped, my eyes would just go to Trent Williams because it's like this guy, we might throw an interception, but Trent Williams might punch a guy in the throat.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
