Mac Jones has the best ecosystem of all rookie quarterbacks

I definitely think [Mac Jones'] ecosystem was the best out of all the rookies that are entering the league this year. Just as far as... how the team is built, the money that they spent, and the defense that they have and the coaches that they have, you know those guys are going to be there for a while. It's a stability there. Usually when you get a fresh quarterback, you're getting a fresh coach, a new play caller.

While Mac Jones had initial success, the 'stability' claim proved questionable as the Patriots' offensive coaching staff went through significant, poorly-reviewed changes in subsequent seasons.

I was rooting for the Patriots over Tom Brady and the Bucs

I was rooting for the Pats [over the Bucs]. I mean, my guy [Brady] gets a little sensitive sometimes. He's my best friend, and... I don't think he probably would [say I am his best friend] anymore [because I didn't root for him].

This is a personal rooting interest/opinion, so it is inherently subjective.

The 49ers are my second favorite team and I love Kyle Shanahan

I'm rooting for the Niners number two. Big Niners guy. I like the Niners. I like [Kyle] Shanahan. I think he's a good coach. I like the defense. I like [George] Kittle, even though he's hurt right now. I grew up loving the 49ers.

Antonio Brown is still performing at a freakish, electric level

Antonio Brown adds to the offense... it's just crazy. He looks electric. I mean, he stays in shape. I was around him for two weeks and got to know him a little bit and he eats, breathes, and lives football and taking care of his body. He's a freak. He's still performing at a very, very high level.

AB had a strong 2021 season with the Bucs before his mid-game exit against the Jets later that year.

The Lions are not currently the best team in the NFL because of the Aidan Hutchinson injury

I don't think they're the best team in the NFL... The Hutchinson's injury though does concern me. Like against bad football teams, you don't need a pass rush... but I'm concerned of those games when they have to play against a Lamar Jackson may be in a Super Bowl or you know, a Brock Purdy or, or or a a Jordan Love... can they stop 'em in the red? They need to get a three points in the red area. They can't give up a touchdown. Can they stop 'em in the red area? I don't think so right now.

Subjective power ranking, though the Lions continued to dominate even without Hutchinson for several weeks.

Dan Campbell needs to evolve and stop taking unnecessary risks like fake punts

I love Dan Campbell, but he needs to evolve his play color. His, his, his coaching style. He, he, he can't act like he's a the hunter anymore. He's being hunted. You know, you, you're the good team. Your culture's in place. We don't have to run a fake punt in the opening drive... when you, me, everyone in the goddamn stadium knew it was gonna be a fake fucking punt.

Subjective coaching critique.

Matthew Stafford is a first-ballot Hall of Famer

I think he's a first battle hall of famer, man. He's a stud... I feel like he's like a Aaron [Rodgers] and [Mahomes] hybrid where like he gets that pop that, that Aaron got. But he also has been changing arm angles and doing No looks back in Detroit 10, 15 years ago.

Stafford is not yet eligible; this will be determined after his retirement.
