Clay Matthews might be over the hill because of his slow reaction time

I think Clay Matthews might be over the hill because his reaction time was really bad. It was pretty slow. Really slow. This was a softball... You should be able to get your glove up.

Clay Matthews had only 3.5 sacks in 2018, his lowest total to that point, and was released by the Packers after the season, suggesting Big Cat was somewhat prescient about his decline.

A groggy Aaron Rodgers post-surgery would be a better quarterback than Brett Hundley

I honestly do believe that Aaron Rodgers, still groggy from surgery, would be a better option at quarterback than Brett Hundley. [Hundley] was so bad. [The Packers] look like a shell of themselves.

Hundley struggled significantly, finishing the season with 9 TDs and 12 INTs, failing to keep the Packers in the playoff hunt.

Sam Bradford is officially 'injured' because wear and tear on a knee is a significant injury

I'm going to say this is actually injured. Like, wear and tear is, that's significant. That's a full injury.

Bradford only played two games in 2017 and his knee issues effectively ended his tenure as a reliable starter.

Sam Bradford is the first player who isn't 'injured', he is just always hurt

He's [Bradford] not injured. He he's just, injured all the time. He's just always hurt. Yeah, so then you come home after a day of darting and you're like, I'm not drunk. I'm fine... That's what Sam Bradford's knee is. It's the new normal.

Bradford's career was essentially ended by chronic knee issues shortly after this, reinforcing the 'always hurt' label.

Tony Romo is the biggest sucker alive for believing Jerry Jones would be loyal to him.

Is Tony Romo the last person in the world to realize this was what was going to happen? He's like a high schooler in this situation. He actually thought that Jerry Jones was going to be like, hey, Tony, don't worry. We'll take care of you, man. We're not going to do what's in the best interest of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys did ultimately release Romo shortly after this episode, and he retired to join the CBS broadcast booth.

The Patriots will be fine without Rob Gronkowski because Martellus Bennett is a very talented tight end

The good news for the Patriots is they do have [Martellus] Bennett, right? And Bennett is a really good tight end. The Patriots, yeah, they'll take a step back, but it's not the end of the world.

The Patriots won the Super Bowl that season without Gronkowski, with Martellus Bennett leading the team in touchdown receptions and starting the game.

Terrelle Pryor is the Cleveland Browns' best quarterback option because everyone else will get injured

So they asked him if he was going to be willing to play quarterback because obviously if you're a Cleveland Browns quarterback, it's like being in the movie Final Destination. They've already lost two. They've got [Cody] Kessler. So Kessler is going to get hurt this weekend, too. And they said, Terrell, would you play? And he goes, I cut my finger off for the team.

Cody Kessler did get hurt (specifically in Week 5) and Pryor famously played multiple positions including QB for the Browns in 2016.

Tony Romo's injury is actually a good thing for the Cowboys

I actually think that this is a good thing for the Cowboys. I do too. Because God bless him, Tony Romo... I don't know if there's been a quarterback that's gone from utter laughing stock... you want a guy who's lucky to be your quarterback more than anything.

Dak Prescott went on a 13-3 tear as a rookie, and the Cowboys moved on from Romo permanently, making the injury the catalyst for a successful new era.

Johnny Manziel is locker room cancer — he is injured

I just don't like the cut of this guy's jib, folks. He's locker room cancer. Not only is he injuring himself with his bad decisions, but he's injuring the entire rest of the team, infecting them with locker room leukemia. He is injured.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
Manziel was released by the Browns in March 2016, never played in the NFL again, and had well-documented off-field issues. This was a correct read despite the satirical framing.

Jason Pierre-Paul is injured because the game is literally called football, not handball

He's been sitting out the past couple of weeks with a blown up hand, really milking it. And the name of the game is literally football. How important is your hand? This isn't pinch ball or smoke a cigarette ball. And again, it makes sense that a guy who lost both his thumb and forefinger is out there missing snaps. So I'll give this one to him. I'm not happy about it. JPP is injured.

PFT grudgingly concedes JPP, who lost fingers in a July 2015 fireworks accident, is legitimately injured. The literal verdict 'JPP is injured' is accurate.
