The new NFL helmet tackling rule is going to kill football

The new helmet rule, the tackling helmet rule, is going to kill football... it's essentially every single hit in the NFL you can be like, is there going to be a flag? There should be a flag every single tackle.

Football has remained highly popular and profitable despite the rule changes, making the claim that it would 'kill' the sport incorrect.

Chase Daniel has robbed the NFL for 10 straight years

Chase Daniel has played in the NFL for 10 fucking seasons. He has made $24 million in cash earnings. We need to bring people to realize, hey, Chase Daniel has robbed the NFL for 10 straight years. He is one and one all time. So he's played two games in 10 years. That might be the greatest snake it till you make it fact of all time.

Chase Daniel played 14 seasons in the NFL, earning over $40 million despite only starting 5 games. Big Cat's point about his earnings vs. usage is objectively true.

Lamar Jackson is currently on the roster bubble as a wide receiver

My concern isn't that Lamar Jackson's the fourth string quarterback, it's that he's like the 10th or 11th string wide receiver on that team. He needs... he's on the bubble.

Lamar Jackson obviously became an MVP quarterback and never played wide receiver.

Urban Meyer will survive the Ohio State scandal because big-time programs protect winners

I actually think that [Urban Meyer] is going to survive it because that's how big-time football works. This guy wins a lot of football games, so we got to figure out a way to keep him. I think he'll still survive it. I think he'll get a four-game suspension right before Big Ten season.

Urban Meyer was suspended for three games by Ohio State but was not fired, though he did retire at the end of the season.

The Ravens are abandoning their draft-and-develop philosophy because they've drafted poorly lately

The Ravens feel like the team for however long, I mean, pretty much their entire history, it's like what they do is they draft really well. They don't have to do these type of moves. And then they do this move... maybe the Ravens haven't drafted as well recently. So now they do have to join everyone else and be these guys.

Subjective analysis of team building strategy.

The Ravens have a three-to-four-year window with Lamar Jackson to go all in and win a Super Bowl

Are the Ravens basically saying Lamar Jackson, he's 29, he's got, we got like a three, four year window where we're gonna have to go all in here? You're kind of forking the road. Are you trying to keep your draft capital to keep reloading around Lamar Jackson? You're like, 'Hey, let's go win this right now.'

The Ravens' success in this window depends on winning a Super Bowl before Lamar Jackson hits his 30s.

The NFL center market is currently the hottest position market in the world

The center market actually feels like it's the hottest market out there. The Packers signed their center who started seven games signed for 11 million a year. The center market just might be the hottest market in the world.

While 'hottest in the world' is hyperbolic, the sentiment reflects the actual 2026 free agency center market trends.
