The New York Jets are legitimately a quarterback away from being a contender

Obviously everybody's looking at the Jets. ... It's hard to say that a team is one player away, but I tell you what, you watch the Jets last year, they had a great defense. ... They legitimately are like a quarterback away. I mean, that was the thing that held them back last year. And, how much does Aaron Rodgers elevate that team?

Rodgers got injured 4 plays in, and the 2023 Jets finished 7-10, suggesting they were more than 'one player' away given their O-line issues and coaching.

The Steelers are my surprise team for the 2023 season

Kenny Pickett. Yes. Two touchdown drives. Diced them up. Diced him up. ... Steelers Look ready to go. Steelers are my surprise team. Yeah. No one's talking about the Steelers. We are.

The Steelers finished 10-7 and made the playoffs as a Wild Card, but they weren't a major 'surprise' contender in the AFC.

Trey Lance sucks and doesn't know how to play football

Trey Lance sucks. Yeah. Well that's, doesn't even know how to play football. ... The one clip of him throwing, just standing there with no pressure while guys were open, feeling pressure that wasn't there, and then mis-throwing it. That was a bad look.

Lance was traded to the Cowboys and remained a backup; his career trajectory currently supports the 'not an NFL-caliber starter' view.

Bijan Robinson is the best running back of all time

Bijan Robinson is the best running back of all time. That was a great, great performance by him. That's, he's a clip monster.

Hyperbolic claim; Bijan is a top-tier talent but nowhere near the GOAT running back after his rookie season.

Charles Haley was the final piece that shifted the NFC power from San Francisco to Dallas

That was the final missing piece to those teams. And it shifted the power in the N F C from San Francisco to Dallas for a number of years once we got Charles.

The Cowboys won 3 Super Bowls shortly after acquiring Haley from their chief rival, the 49ers.

The Patriots will struggle to keep up in the increasingly difficult AFC East

I just think that that's a tough division, you know, with the Jets potentially being who they are, what Mike McDaniel did with the Dolphins and how good he made them. And then you still got Buffalo. So, you know, for a number of years the Patriots were able to feast on a very, very weak division. And now they've got a very, very challenging division.

The Patriots finished last in the AFC East with a 4-13 record.
