Arch Manning is as close to—or maybe even better than—Joe Burrow

Arch [Manning] is as close to or maybe as good as Joe [Burrow] as I've seen. Really. And I've never said that about anybody. I watched his practice, and I'll say this conservatively... Arch is the real deal.

Arch Manning's career is still in its early stages compared to Burrow's Heisman/NFL pedigree.

The NFL will officially announce starting quarterbacks for the Browns and Colts this week

I think we're gonna get starting quarterbacks announced maybe this week... I think we're gonna get announcements from the teams this week of who the starting guys are gonna be in Cleveland [and Indy].

The Browns announced Deshaun Watson (and Jameis Winston as backup) later that week, and the Colts confirmed Anthony Richardson.

Kevin Stefanski will start Joe Flacco to buy time while Dylan Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders compete for the future

I think what [Kevin Stefanski] is gonna do is start Flacco and then he'll continue to have Gabriel and Sanders kind of like going shot for shot. See, figuring out who the next guy Ups gonna be. Yep. And he's gonna buy himself a couple weeks by having Flacco start.

The Browns actually entered the season with Deshaun Watson as the starter; Flacco was not on the roster to start 2024, and Dylan Gabriel stayed in college for another year.

Matthew Stafford will miss a few games this season due to injury

I think [Matthew Stafford] can start and finish the season, but I think he'll probably miss a couple games inside the season.

Matthew Stafford did not miss significant games in 2025. He had an MVP-caliber season with 4,707 passing yards (1st in NFL), played all or nearly all games, and led the league in yards and TDs.

The 2019 LSU Tigers are the best college football team of all time

With Joe [Burrow], I think we could beat anybody. It's gotta be won on the field. Now they've had some other great teams, but I do believe with Joe and the team that we had, we could've beat anybody we played that year... I'd put the LSU team in front of everybody.

This is a subjective historical debate in college football.

Joe Burrow is the smartest football player I have ever been around

Joe was the smartest guy in the room. He was the smartest football player I have ever been around. He studies, he's consistent. He has one goal in mind, us to be great.

This is a subjective professional assessment from a coach with decades of experience.

LSU's 15-0 season in 2019 is unbeatable; teams can only hope to match it

Being a boy from Louisiana and always want to win the championship for the people in Louisiana... it was a special night for the state of Louisiana. Think about this, man, 15 and 0. They... all they can do is try to match it. Good luck.

With the 12-team CFP expansion, teams can now go 16-0 or 17-0, making 15-0 technically beatable as a record.
