Matthew Stafford is throwing the ball as well as he ever has in his career

Stafford is throwing the absolute piss out of the football. It's, I mean, he's throwing it just as good as maybe he's ever thrown it.

Stafford finished the 2023 season with a Pro Bowl nod and led the Rams to the playoffs, statistically supporting Orlovsky's eye test.

The quick turnarounds of the Diamondbacks and Rangers are a testament to why fans should never give up on their teams

The Texas Rangers were 60 and 102. The Arizona Diamondbacks were 52 and 110. It's insane. This is what sports are about. If you're a fan, the ability to have your franchise turn that quickly... it's a true testament. This is why you stick with your team because a quick turnaround like this is right around the corner.

Both teams reached the 2023 World Series after being bottom-dwellers in 2021, proving his point about quick turnarounds in modern MLB.

The MLB Wild Card format is great because it allows long shots like the Diamondbacks to make the World Series

So for everybody that's saying, I mean, Dodgers fans that are saying that the new wild card format is [bullshit], that they should go back. Well, one of the, one of the teams got to the World Series... because I love, I love long shots. If your team's not in it, it's hard to, to not root for a long shot and an underdog.

The Diamondbacks did reach the World Series as a 6-seed, proving the format enables long-shot runs.

I love that the Rangers spent a massive amount of money to buy a winning team

I also love on the other side, the Rangers, they spent a lot of money and Astros fans being extra salty... Isn't that exactly what every fan wants their team to do? Yeah. I want my team to spend all the money every year, especially in baseball, when there's no real salary cap. Just spend it all.

The Rangers' heavy spending on Seager, Semien, and pitching directly led to their title, making the 'buying wins' strategy objectively successful in this case.

The Rams are a top Super Bowl contender because their QB/WR connection is 'stupid'

Teams that I truly believe can win at number one Rams... there's no quarterback wide receiver group right now that sees it the same way consistently. The throws and the catches are stupid right now.

The Rams were top contenders (12-5, NFCCG) with Stafford winning MVP. But they lost in the NFCCG to Seattle.

Caleb Williams has absolutely stopped creating problems for himself

What do you have to see from Caleb to feel good going into 2026 and beyond? I would tell you number one, stop creating problems for yourself. He's absolutely done that now... He's more in structure, he's playing more in rhythm and timing.

Technical football opinion from an expert, can be evaluated against Williams' performance stats through the end of 2025.

Running the football in shotgun formation all the time stinks

I line up under center, every play is available to me... every direction is available to me. There's very little tendency or tell... when I'm in the shotgun, there's a smaller option of what I can do... When I'm under center, I turn my back to you in a play action fake. You cannot see the ball and the gun. You can all the time.

This is a tactical philosophy held by many NFL analysts and coaches.
