Brock Purdy is a much better quarterback in person than on television
I was at the Bucs-49ers game last week and with McCaffrey back and Jauan Jennings back... Purdy is a lot better quarterback when you see him live. This guy's strong. He's, he's loose. He's gutty, man. Gritty. Love him.

Kirk Cousins will lose the Raiders starting job to Fernando Mendoza if they drop their first two games
It's tough. We gotta see when the schedule comes out. I think if the Raiders win those two games, I think Cousins will keep playing. But if they lose those two games, you know how this league is — he just went through it with Mike Pennix in Atlanta. And when you lose a couple games, it just is a matter of time before the young kid gets his job.
Jeremiah Love is a Jamir Gibbs clone — a home-run hitter with no mileage who was totally justified as a top-five pick
I think Love is a Jamir Gibbs clone type. This guy's a great receiver. I mean, one handed catches, you can line him up in empty backfield sets. You can use this guy so many different ways and he has no mileage on him. He split carries with Price. So you're getting a home run hitter. Average is seven yards per carry.
