Bryce Young's tenure has officially established the floor for how short a quarterback can be

It unfortunately probably puts the limit on height. Now he's officially the floor. We've reached it. We pushed it with Russell Wilson... then Kyler Murray, I think Bryce Young is now the floor of how short you can be as a quarterback.

Opinion Football Medium

Big Cat's prediction that Bryce Young's height would set the floor for quarterbacks has been supported by subsequent NFL drafts. In the 2025 NFL Draft, the shortest prominent quarterback prospect, Dillon Gabriel, was 5'11", slightly taller than Young's 5'10 1/8". More significantly, in the 2026 NFL Draft, a Heisman Trophy finalist, Diego Pavia, who measured 5'9 7/8", went undrafted, indicating a reluctance by teams to select quarterbacks shorter than Young.

The narrative that the NFC South is the worst division in football is officially over

I believe that we officially have to end the narrative that the NFC South is the worst division in football because they have the two and Oh Saints, the one and one Falcons, the two and oh bucks. They're a good division now.

Opinion Football Medium

By season's end, the NFC South actually remained one of the weaker divisions statistically, though it was improved from the previous year.

Nick Sirianni should have been arrested for not kicking the field goal in the first half

The Eagles could have won if they had kicked that field goal in the first quarter. Which, and it's not, it's not hindsight to say it. I tweeted out at the time that Nick Sirianni should be arrested... I think that just the take that Nick Sirianni should be arrested is applicable to all sorts of different things that he does.

Hot Take Football Hot

The Eagles lost by one point (22-21). If they had taken a field goal instead of failing on 4th down early in the game, the final score would literally have changed the outcome. The 'arrested' part is obviously metaphorical.

The Eagles should have run the ball twice on their final offensive possession

Running the football there... I'll even get crazy here. Ready? Ready for this Max. I think you run it twice and you get a first down because you're the Philadelphia Eagles and no one can stop when you run it with your biggest offensive line in football.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

While speculative, the Eagles are known for the 'Tush Push' and have a dominant run game. Running the ball would have burned at least 40 more seconds off the clock, making the Falcons' final drive much more difficult.
