Media coverage favors coaches over players because coaches have longer careers

Players need to know that there's a reason that the mainstream media has the coaches' backs. And it's because no matter how long you play, that coach is gonna coach longer... That relationship with that coach is more important than that relationship with the player. So when you see narratives like Russell Wilson, and you see like, okay, there's like one or two guys that are talking [badly] about the coach... it's because they know that coach is still gonna be coaching.

This is a systemic observation of media dynamics that is generally accepted by industry insiders but remains subjective.

NFL teams that score first in overtime should go for two

If you do get the ball first in overtime and you score, should you preemptively go for two? That would be the only thing that could save the 49ers if they said, yeah, our plan was to go for two if we scored a touchdown.

The 49ers did not score a touchdown first, so the theory wasn't tested, but the math on this is a major talking point in analytics circles.

Kyle Shanahan is officially the coach that can't win a Super Bowl

This is a label that's gonna wear on him. It is what he is at this point. Like until he wins a Super Bowl, we're just gonna say, yeah, Kyle Shanahan is the guy that can't win a Super Bowl.

Shanahan remains without a Super Bowl ring as of mid-2024.

Patrick Mahomes will soon reach AI-like super computer status

He'll soon reach super computer status where he'll know what to do before each play starts. He's just becoming AI. We've got AI Mahomes.

This is a hyperbolic description of football IQ.

Caleb Williams should have used his leverage to force the Bears to decide on Matt Eberflus before the draft

If you're a quarterback like Caleb, like Shadur coming out, and you have the power to tell a team, I need you to make a decision on your coach. All I was suggesting he do is say, I need to know what you're doing with the coach. So I don't come into a situation where the structure is bad. And now he's gonna be sitting there second head coach. Third offensive coordinator.

The Bears did fire Eberflus in-season, validating RG3's concerns about Williams entering a 'hot seat' situation with poor structure.

Lincoln Riley could succeed in Chicago as Caleb Williams' offensive coordinator, but not as head coach

I don't believe that Lincoln [Riley] would succeed in Chicago as the head coach. But if he wanted to come to the NFL and be with the quarterback that he won a Heisman Trophy with you make him the offensive coordinator.

Lincoln Riley remained at USC and has not taken an NFL role as of late 2024.

The Commanders could win the Super Bowl this year

I could see Washington winning the Super Bowl... I could see them winning the Super Bowl because it's so up in the air right now. Especially with the Lions... being so beat up on defense... Anything can happen once you get in the dance.

The Commanders did not win the Super Bowl. They made it to the NFC Championship but lost to the Eagles 23-55.
