Big Ben is officially my number one quarterback in the AFC North

I would have this [Big Ben] as my number one quarterback in the division. This [Ben] that we saw from the last week.

The Steelers finished 9-7-1 and Ben struggled significantly with arm strength, finishing with a 22-10 TD/INT ratio. Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow (who made the Super Bowl) were widely considered superior in 2021.

Patrick Mahomes will be the best quarterback of all time

Mahomes is probably going to be the best quarterback of all time and that's like, you don't get to pick where you're drafted for sure. Then just decides like, Hey, I'm going to be the best of all time. Oh, cool. Just runs up the score every week.

Mahomes is widely considered to be on a GOAT trajectory with multiple MVPs and Super Bowls.

Zach Wilson will win a Super Bowl for the Jets

I was watching the highlights again today and I was like, Zach Wilson wins the Super Bowl for the Jets. I'm going to convert to Mormonism.

Zach Wilson was eventually traded from the Jets after several disappointing seasons and did not win a Super Bowl.

Mitch Trubisky will eventually sign with a team like the Eagles and be the guy

At the end of the season, there's going to be a team like the Eagles that's going to go out and be like, 'Hey, Mitch might be the guy. He was a first-round pick, remember?' And then they're going to get him and he's going to be good if he has a good play caller.

Trubisky did sign with the Steelers in 2022 to be a starter (not the Eagles), but he was benched for Kenny Pickett and did not prove to be 'the guy'.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
