Ben Roethlisberger will play another five years

And I think with Randy Fichtner as the quarterback coach now and coordinator, [Ben Roethlisberger] will play five years.

Roethlisberger played four more seasons (2018-2021) before retiring in early 2022.

The Warriors will still win the series against the Rockets

I still think the Warriors are going to win the series, but it's not because of a lack of analytics.

The Warriors defeated the Rockets in 7 games to advance to the NBA Finals.

Kevin Durant is the one guy I want taking a shot when the team needs two points

I think Kevin Durant is the one guy I would want to take a shot when your team needs two points. Just two points to put into overtime.

KD is widely considered one of the greatest pure scorers in NBA history, making this a very defensible opinion.

The Golden State Warriors are now Klay Thompson's team

It's Klay's team now. It has to be his team.

Curry remained the definitive leader and best player on the team; it was never Klay's team.

Bryce Young has the talent to succeed in the NFL given the right offensive system

I saw Bryce win the national championship with, with maybe better players than he is playing with now... he can do it. He's shown he can do it in the right system. His stature scared me... there weren't any braces. There weren't any Johnny Manzes at that size and stature that made it in the NFL.

Bryce Young had his best NFL season in 2025 with 3,011 yards, 23 TDs, and led the Panthers to an 8-9 division title and playoff berth, showing the talent Arians described when given the right system under Dave Canales.

Anthony Richardson is currently more of an athlete than a quarterback because he lacks consistency in the pocket

Anthony's stats didn't match. His ability and, and all, all ability doesn't make a quarterback. Now. You gotta be, you gotta win two minute, third down. I don't give a shit how fast you run. How high you jump... if you can't show me that you can do that in college, that to me, you're not a quarterback, you're an athlete... And he didn't exactly tear people up in college. You know, it was just combine superstar.

Arians' critique of Richardson's college production and pro readiness matches his current benching for Joe Flacco.

Lamar Jackson was a more accurate passer coming out of college than Michael Vick

Lamar can spin it coming outta college. It was a little bit raw, but when I look at him and Michael Vick, I thought he spun it more accurately than Mike did coming out. Now Mike got better Lamar's Lamar's there now.

Lamar's passing statistics and MVP awards generally support the idea that he became a more polished passer than Vick, though college comparison is subjective.
