Jalen Hurts would be playing against the Cowboys if Dallas hadn't lost to the Jaguars.

I do kind of think that it was... if the Cowboys hadn't lost the Jaguars, I think Jalen Hurts would be playing in this game. That's what I feel like it's, it's one of those situations why potentially having to maybe play them a third time in the playoffs. Why give them anything, take care of business against the Saints the week after.

This is a counterfactual that cannot be verified, though Hurts did return for Week 18 to clinch the seed.

The Packers are not going to run the table and make the playoffs

I promise you. I promise They've got a really tough schedule. Yeah, they, they've got the Dolphins. They've got the Lions... I'm just, this guy's [Rodgers] never, yeah, Hank just, Hank just looked up. He's like, Ooh, they could win all those guys. Nah.

The Packers won their next four games but lost to the Lions in Week 18, missing the playoffs. PFT was correct that they would not run the table.

Trevor Lawrence would be drafted ahead of Justin Fields to start a franchise today

I I think Trevor Lawrence right now, I I'm being honest, would be ahead of him [Justin Fields]. I'm just wondering how high up Trevor Lawrence would be... I do think that that Trevor Lawrence is a, has shown more this year in terms of passing and like how much better he's gotten versus Justin Fields.

Subjective value judgment, though Lawrence's playoff success and market value generally remained higher than Fields' over the following year.

I would draft Justin Fields over Trevor Lawrence to start a franchise today.

I actually do disagree with you [Big Cat] though. I would take Justin Fields over Trevor Lawrence. Because I think that you can get better as a passer in the NFL. We've seen a couple guys do it and weapons around him. It's possible if you have good coaching around you, you've got good weapons, you can improve. ... I would rather have Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence.

This remains a subjective debate, though Lawrence has achieved more playoff success while Fields has since been traded to the Steelers.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
