Kyle Pitts might just be a 'great in theory' player who will never live up to the hype

I don't know what to expect from Kyle Pitts... I think Kyle Pitts might just be in theory. In theory he's great, but... will we, if he doesn't have a good year, will we still be making excuses for him next year? Yes.

Pitts had a somewhat bounce-back 2024 but still finished with under 800 yards and moderate touchdown production, failing to reach the 'elite' status many expected with Kirk Cousins.

Xavier Worthy is going to be a problem for everybody

Well, that's the thing is they've got [the Chiefs] got a guy that's gonna be a problem for everybody. I'm gonna, and we said it on draft night, we were like, how did the bills let this happen?

Worthy had a productive rookie season with multiple touchdowns, proving to be a significant deep threat for the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs.

The NFL refs set such a strong tone with illegal formation calls in the opener that they won't need to call it again all weekend

This was a secret point of emphasis to call illegal formation. And now I don't even think that the refs are gonna have to call it for the rest of week one... they set such a tone calling the illegal formation that I don't think they're gonna have to call it down the line.

While the flurry of calls in the Ravens-Chiefs game was an outlier, officials did continue to monitor the alignment throughout the weekend, though not with the same volume of flags.

Justin Tucker might be washed

Justin Tucker might be washed. Yeah. Can't hit 50 yarders anymore.

Tucker had a statistically poor 2024 season by his standards, missing several field goals from 50+ yards, supporting the 'washed' narrative.

I love the DJ Moore trade for the Bears because it clears cap space for Max Crosby or Tyler Linderbaum

I love this trade because you clear up money. [DJ Moore's] got a big pretty hefty contract so you clear up money to maybe go get a Max Crosby or a Linderbaum. You get a pick and you make the bet that Luther Burden and Rome Odunze are gonna be taking leaps forward.

The trade is real in this transcript's timeline. The outcome of the cap space usage depends on free agency results.

DJ Moore would not have had a 1,000-yard season if he stayed in the Bears' offense

He could have a thousand yards [with the Bills] and be like, wow. How, how could you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this Bear's offense.

Moore finished the 2023 season with 1,364 yards for the Bears, so this retrospective hypothetical is likely incorrect as he had already proven he could do it.

Malik Willis is the #1 free agent backup quarterback

Top quarterback free agents... Is it also Malik Willis? Malik Willis is, yes. So he's number one. Malik Willis one.

Willis was traded to the Packers in 2024 and performed well as a backup, but ranking him #1 over established vets is a subjective value judgment.
