The Steelers cannot bench Justin Fields for Russell Wilson as long as they are winning

It feels like he's [Fields] kind of rounding into form to being a winning quarterback... I personaly would not [bench him]... you cannot bench a three and oh quarterback... You gotta wait until something bad happens and like he has a bad game and then maybe make a switch.

Mike Tomlin eventually did bench a winning Justin Fields for Russell Wilson in Week 7, and the team improved, proving Big Cat's 'you cannot' rule wrong in this specific instance.

The start of the 2024 season proves that coaching matters more than anything else in the NFL

The big picture for me before we get into all the games is Sam Darnold's three and oh, Geno Smith's three and oh... this start of the 2024 season has just been a red blinking light of coaching matters a lot.

The season-long success of Sam Darnold and Jared Goff, contrasted with the struggles of highly-drafted QBs in poor systems, generally supported this theme throughout 2024.

Kevin O'Connell is one of the best coaches in the NFL

Minnesota might have one of the best coaches in the league. Yes. And I would also put McVay's performance this week right up there too.

O'Connell led the Vikings to a surprisingly successful season and is widely regarded as a top-tier offensive mind.

Nick Sirianni does not deserve to be let off the hook for his poor coaching despite the Eagles' win

I'm hoping that Max doesn't let [Sirianni] off the hook. Yeah. He doesn't deserve to be left off the hook. They won the game and they were the better team in this game... That was a horrible display of coaching from him today.

Subjective opinion on coaching performance.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
