Jacoby Brissett is a 'tread water' quarterback, not an eight-win guy

I wouldn't say he's an eight win quarterback. I think he's a get you a couple wins in, like your starter goes down. Jacoby Brissett comes in, he can tread water. He's a tread water guy. He's a three and four guy.

Brissett started the first five games for the Patriots in 2024, going 1-4 before being benched for Drake Maye, aligning with Big Cat's 'tread water' assessment.

Jacoby Brissett is an eight-win quarterback guy under the radar

[Jacoby Brissett] is a good quarterback. He'll get you probably eight wins if he starts the entire season... I'm just saying Jacoby Brissett feels like an eight-win quarterback guy under the radar.

The Patriots finished the 2024 season 4-13. Brissett started roughly half the games but did not reach 8 wins.

I won't get FOMO about Drake Maye sitting because the Patriots are in a rebuilding year

I'm not gonna get FOMO about Drake Maye not starting. Our offensive line's bad. I think our roster's not great. It's okay. It's a rebuilding year. I think you let's embrace it for what it is.

This is subjective, but Maye became the starter in Week 6, and Hank was very excited about it once it happened.

Patrick Mahomes would be worth over $100 million a year on a truly free market

If the NFL was truly free market capitalism, [Mahomes] might go to the Panthers. David Tepper... he might go for over a hundred million dollars.

This is a hypothetical claim that cannot be verified, as a salary cap exists, but several agents in the Athletic poll agreed.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
