Adam Schefter is a 'strong buy' because he still has the fire to make a comeback

I like that fire, though. You got to have that fire to make a comeback. So Adam Schefter is a strong buy for me.

Schefter remained the preeminent NFL insider for years after this take, so the 'buy' was correct in retrospect.

The Cleveland Browns are smarter to do nothing in free agency than to fail spectacularly again

I think the Browns are just playing the game where they fucked up so bad in the past and everything that they've done that not doing anything is actually a smarter move than trying to do something and failing because you can't stay still. You're going to piss off your fans for about six months if you don't do anything in free agency. But a fan's not going to remember that like a year from now.

The Browns went 1-15 in 2016, so doing nothing did not lead to success, though it fits the narrative of their 'Moneyball' era strategy at the time.

The NFL Draft is essentially just kidnapping players for the benefit of the Cleveland Browns

The only reason [the Browns] can get players to play on their team is by essentially tricking them to join the team via the draft. That's pretty much – the draft is kidnapping players, if we're going to be honest with themselves.

This is a satirical philosophical take on the draft, not a literal claim of criminal kidnapping.

Brock Osweiler is the perfect fit to continue the Texans' lineage of awful quarterbacks

Brock Osweiler to the Texans, there has never been a better fit in the entire world. And I'm not talking about fit like, oh, the Texans need a quarterback... I'm talking about Brock Osweiler is the perfect guy to continue the Houston Texans mantle of awful quarterbacks. David Carr, Sage Rosenfels, T.J. Yates, Matt Schaub, Brandon Weeden, Ryan Mallett, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Hoyer.

Osweiler was indeed a massive bust for the Texans, lasting only one season before being traded away.

Brock Purdy is the MVP and the 49ers are the NFL's best team

The 49ers are, I think, the best team in football. I think Brock Purdy right now is the league MVP.

The 49ers' eventual season result and MVP award are not yet known from the available context.

Dan Quinn should be fired after the fourth-down disaster

I think Dan Quinn has to go and he's a nice guy.

This is primarily a coaching judgment, although the proposed firing is also a future personnel outcome.

The Jets would win the NFC East

The Jets would be—I would take the Jets to win the NFC East. Without a doubt.

The 2026 NFL season has not yet reached its conclusion, so whether the Jets win the NFC East is unresolved.
