A rookie quarterback shouldn't be blamed for sacks if they are holding the ball too long

There's too much of him. You know, there's 40 times he's carried the ball. There's 40 times he's been sacked... You can't blame the offensive line for all these sacks. I just encourage him, you know, to get rid of the ball. Sometimes the best play you can make is throwing the ball away because that's the only good play you could make.

Advanced stats like PFF's 'sacks attributed to QB' often support the view that Williams holds the ball longer than league average.

The 2024 Washington Commanders are frauds

Bernie Madoff. Sam Bankman-Fried. The 2020 election. The 2024 Washington Commanders. [Frauds]. Sometimes the haters are right. When the haters are right, you gotta say, great job haters.

The Commanders finished 12-5, won two playoff games, and reached the NFC Championship Game — their best season since 1991. Not frauds.

Kliff Kingsbury's offenses inevitably decline in the second half of every season

This gets at going back to Kliff [Kingsbury]'s entire existence in the second half of seasons. So back at Texas Tech, here's his record as a head coach... His offense looks completely different right now. We had Austin Ekeler. That's pretty much it.

The Commanders did experience a slide in the second half of 2024, finishing 1-4 in their final five games.

Jaden Daniels will be a very good NFL quarterback, but rookies don't win Super Bowls

Jaden Daniels will be a very good quarterback in this league. Jaden Daniels is just still a rookie. And that's something that I think was very evident tonight... But Jaden Daniels I don't think is, as a rookie, a Super Bowl winning quarterback. 'Cause no rookies are Super Bowl winning quarterbacks.

It is a historical fact that no rookie starting quarterback has won a Super Bowl.

Justin Herbert isn't a top 100 NFL player until the Chargers win a playoff game

Right now, he's not in my top a hundred until, until they win a playoff game. Okay. I'm just not happy with the yellow pants. He knows how I feel about their uniforms. I hate the Chargers to start with... It's my least favorite team, the Falcons and the Chargers, for obvious reasons.

This is a personal ranking criteria, making it inherently subjective.

The Seahawks and Rams will meet in the 2026 NFC Championship Game

I mean you can't, you can't go against Seattle. They have everybody back. Yep. That guy McDonald's a hell of a coach... But the Rams, it's almost like the Dodgers... I think he gotta go with the Rams-Seahawks in the NFC championship on a rewind.

This will be resolved by the 2026 NFL playoffs.

The Bears are clearly the best team in the NFC North

I'm, I'm really concerned about the North. I think the Bears are clearly the best team in my opinion. Hearing that... Caleb Williams, I think he'll make a leap. I think their coach is a hell of a coach... I really think old school football's coming back into play. The Bears are under the center and they're smashing people.

Resolved by the end of the 2026 NFL regular season.
