I love the Dan Quinn hire for the Commanders because his players love him and it makes the Cowboys worse

I have no choice but to support Dan Quinn. And you do hear his players talk about him. His players love him. And it's also an added bonus of making the Cowboys worse.

The Commanders had a poor 2024 season under Quinn initially, though 'making the Cowboys worse' is subjective. The Cowboys defense did indeed struggle after Quinn left.

The Dan Quinn hire is a win-win because the Commanders get better and the Cowboys defense gets worse

Max should be ecstatic about Dan Quinn because at the very least, the Cowboys defense is gonna get worse. Right? Yep. And so if [the Commanders] get better and the Cowboys defense gets worse, I think that's a win-win for both me and you. It's a Quinn, Quinn, Quinn Quinn all around.

The Cowboys defense did regress in 2024, but the Commanders' improvement is still being evaluated under Quinn.

NFL 'retreads' like Dan Quinn run the world and usually figure it out on their second stop

Retreads run the world. Retreads run the NFL. Gary Kubiak, John Gruden, Bill Parcells, Tony Dungy, Tom Coughlin, Pete Carroll, Andy Reid, Mike Shanahan, Don Shula. Bill Belichick was a retread when he was hired by the New England Patriots. Dan Quinn, second stop, he's gonna figure it out.

Dan Quinn led the Commanders to a 12-5 record and the NFC Championship game in his first year, validating PFT's point about NFL 'retreads' figuring it out on their second stop.

Lamar Jackson should get fat because natural padding helps quarterbacks absorb hits

I think it's good if your quarterback's a little bit chunky, a little bit fat. Yeah. You get it's natural padding. It absorbs some of the hits. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. These guys weren't in the best shape... Lamar Jackson should get fat.

Lamar Jackson actually leaned out further for the 2024 season to increase his speed.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
