John Scheyer is officially on the hot seat at Duke

My hot seat is John Scheyer. I'm surprised that it's taken us this long as a podcast to put John Scheyer on the hot seat. But he's in ninth place in the ACC as Duke's head coach. And I for one, miss Coach K.

Duke eventually turned their season around, winning the ACC Tournament and finishing 27-9. Scheyer was never in actual danger of being fired.

Joe Burrow is the best quarterback at 'quarterbacking' while Patrick Mahomes is just a great football player who plays quarterback

I think Joe Burrow is the best quarterback at quarterbacking in the NFL right now. [Patrick Mahomes] is a very good quarterback who happens to be a football player. Joe Burrow is a great quarterback who just happens to play football, right? Patrick Mahomes is a great football player who just happens to play quarterback.

This is a stylistic and subjective comparison of two elite players.

Brock Purdy will not be able to survive the environment at Lincoln Financial Field

Brock Purdy's top G in the NFL right now... but the man won't, won't be able to survive the Link [Lincoln Financial Field]. I just can't wrap my head around any world where a rookie quarterback goes in the Link and beats the number one seed Eagles.

Purdy was injured early in the game, and the 49ers lost 31-7, so he did not 'survive' or win the game.

The Bears and Commanders would have eventually ruined Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow if they had drafted them

Our franchises are... they will never have nice things. Like if Patrick Mahomes was drafted by the Bears, the Bears would've ruined him. If the Commanders drafted Joe Burrow, they would've ruined him. We [Commanders] actually did our best to try to ruin Joe Burrow as an NFL quarterback [by hitting him].

This is a hypothetical claim about organizational culture that can never be proven true or false.

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.
