Mac Jones is the worst kind of quarterback to have because he is just good enough to keep you wondering if he's 'the guy'

The problem with the guy that flashes 'the guy' is, he's not 'the guy'. I'd rather have a guy that does not flash ever... the ball test is not going to be friendly to Mac Jones in year three. It's going to be bad.

Mac Jones regressed significantly in years 2 and 3 and was eventually traded to Jacksonville. PFT's assessment that Jones wasn't 'the guy' was correct.

Frank Reich is officially on the hot seat and could be the first coach fired

I think Frank Reich is officially on the hot seat... nothing tells you that more than the quotes that he had after the game... I don't know what—I do think Frank Reich is now up there for coach to be fired first.

Frank Reich was fired on November 7, 2022. While Matt Rhule was actually the first coach fired (Oct 10), Reich was fired mid-season shortly after.

The Bears should run the triple option because nobody can defend it in pro football

The Bears should run the triple option. People would not be able to defend the triple option... you can't tell me that teams would want to play the triple option in pro football.

The Bears didn't switch to a full triple option, though Fields' rushing became a major part of the offense later that season. They finished 3-14.

The Giants are a borderline playoff team if they get a few bounces

I'm a believer in the Giants with a couple bounces here and there being like a borderline playoff [team]. They can be feisty.

The Giants did indeed make the playoffs and even won a Wild Card game against the Vikings.

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.
