Drake May's MVP case is strengthened by his lack of Pro Bowl offensive teammates

Every other MVP in the NFL history has played with another pro bowler. Okay. But he's, so if [Drake May] is able to put up those stats without another pro bowler, that makes his case that much more interesting. Zero Pro Bowl teammates on offense.

The Titans and Giants are the most coveted head coaching jobs available

I think the Titans might be as crazy as it sounds. I think I, I might agree... I would hire Stefanski tomorrow. I really would. I think that he's gonna be a very good head coach.

I would have been a top 10 draft pick if my last name was easier to pronounce

Maybe a few years younger, maybe a couple letters off the last name. It might be, might be a little bit richer. So I don't, I don't know... once you learn it, it's kinda hard to forget it.

The Baltimore Ravens are now the best head coaching job opening in the NFL

John Harbaugh and the Ravens have parted ways... this is the number one job. By far... Like, not even close. That's like the most stable front office you can go to.

I would like Todd Bowles no longer to coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers anymore. Anyone else, I'm in.

I bet Tyler Schuck, who's in the Hungry Dog. Only one that lost. I thought he played terrible. I will not be—my indoctrination is over. I'm done with Tyler Schuck.

Chris Ballard shouldn't be safe as Colts GM after 9 years without a division title

Chris Ballard has been the Colts GM for I believe nine years now. He has never won the division and it's the AFC South. And it's not like the AFC South is bad, but there have been stretches where there have been bad teams and he has not found a way to win the division.

The Giants should be ashamed of winning meaningless games to ruin their draft pick

You have to be so angry at the Giants for doing this year in year out where they fucked themselves over by winning completely meaningless games for no reason. Why did you win this game today?

Ben Johnson must be more aggressive in the playoffs for the Bears to succeed

Ben Johnson fucked up at points in this game, especially not going for it on fourth and five in the fourth quarter. Hopefully he realizes the defense that the Bears have right now, you gotta be very aggressive in these playoffs to string together some wins.

The Bears' defense is a major liability for a deep playoff run

It's gonna be very hard if you don't turn the ball over to get a deep playoff run with this defense that's just stating facts. I've watched 'em every single game. It's, if you don't get turned the ball over, they just get shredded.

The Harbaugh vs. Vrabel playoff matchup will feel like Michigan vs. Ohio State

Do you think that this, that Harbaugh looks at this matchup against Vrabel as Michigan, Ohio State? I feel—I didn't even think about that. I think that's—I think Vrabel is the same way though.

Justin Herbert needs to finally win a playoff game to shut up the doubters

I just need Herbert to win a playoff game because every year it's the same fucking shit where it's everyone's hating on Herbert. We need the Chargers to win this shit. I just get my hopes up every year. Fucking 27-nothing lead we fucking blow it.

Saquon Barkley 'fucked' the fantasy team and wasn't clutch

Jayden Daniels had a good year despite his injury struggles

Jayden Daniels didn't play a bad year. He had a bad year in terms of injuries. He played in four complete games this season. Four full games, seven touchdowns, one pick, one fumble loss. He had a two and two record. 63% completion... He was not bad for the people that were saying that he was bad this year.

Brian Flores should prioritize being the highest-paid defensive coordinator over being a head coach

Brian Flores, I think he's gonna be a head coach again. It didn't go well in Miami the first time, but why wouldn't he just, he's such a good defensive coordinator. Why doesn't he just say, 'Hey, Cowboys or any team, just pay me like $5 million a year.' Isn't your life better as a defensive coordinator?

The Texans defense is the second greatest thing behind God

God is the greatest. The Texans defense is maybe second. That was from Jason Pierre-Paul. Great quote... and I don't think that he's wrong. No he is not. Because the Texans defense is that good.

The Bears can beat any team in the NFC in a one-game tournament

I walked away from this game still convinced that... can the Bears play with every single team in the NFC playoffs? I'd say absolutely. Yes. In a one game tournament, they can beat any of these teams. Can they do it three times in a row? I don't know... but there's not one team where I'm like, we have no chance against them.

Justin Herbert is the most valuable player to his team in the NFL

If you look at like, players who are most valuable players to their teams, I think [Justin Herbert] might be the most valuable player. 'Cause if you don't have Justin Herbert, the Chargers are like a four or five win team.

The Saints would be in the playoffs if they had started Tyler Shough in week one

If you handicap that with the Saints overall, that's pretty shucking good. If they had started Tyler Shough in from week one. Are they in the playoffs? I think they're in that division. They're playing the best football in that division right now.

The Eagles might still stink despite clinching the NFC East

I think this team might still stink. They were losing to the Commanders... we were losing with three minutes to go in the third quarter. I'm not very confident in this team, if we're being completely honest.

Caleb Williams is the clutchest quarterback in the NFL this season

I'm fully in on the Iceman nickname because that's what he is. That's what Caleb Williams is. He's the clutchest quarterback in the NFL this season.

Matt LaFleur calls a better offensive game when Malik Willis is the quarterback

I think that Matt LaFleur calls a much better game with Malik Willis as quarterback. I'm not saying that he's a better quarterback than Jordan Love because he is not. But I think that the Packers' offense, LaFleur gets his back against the wall and he gets deeper into his bag with Malik Willis in the game.

Todd Bowles should resign as Buccaneers head coach

I don't think there's anything he can do from here except maybe resign... Respectfully, maybe get out of town. Go retire, find a beach somewhere. Because you can't just keep delegating the thinking to other people. We need a guy who's down to think.

College coaches will always try to jump to the NFL because it is easier

I do think that college coaches will always try to go to the NFL because it's easier. But Marcus Freeman does feel like he's got a really good thing going on at Notre Dame.

I think Aaron Rodgers might be back. The Old Gun Slinger... the last two games, he has looked old Rodgers like, and if he is going to play like that, then yes, I do think [the Steelers] can win a playoff game.

The NFL engineered the Steelers' Monday Night Football winning streak

The NFL has engineered this streak for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The win-loss record, the winning percentage of opponents that the Steelers have played during the streak on Monday night football is 40%. That is by far the weakest schedule of any team that's played on Monday Night Football.

Caleb Williams' throw to DJ Moore was better than 'The Catch'

Caleb's Throw was better than Joe Montana's. He threw it from the 30. Joe Montana threw it from the 18. ... I liked it so much. I thought it was the catch. I sent it to Chris Berman. ... maybe a better throw and maybe a better catch.

The Bills defense is their Achilles heel but steps up in major moments

The Bills defense is their Achilles heel. But if you look at what the bills have done in some of these big time games... they have also stepped up in big time moments to make big time plays and win games. Because their offense is not the problem.

Drake Maye still holds the metaphorical 'Torch' of the AFC East

[Drake Maye] still have the torch. Yeah. The torch is ours. Whoever wins the division [is the] current torch bearer.

The Chargers are currently the top 'ball team' in the NFL

I loved what Harbaugh said after the game. He goes, it's a ball team.... I think the Chargers gotta be the number one ball team. There's a difference between a great team and a ball team. There's just a pure—

Caleb Williams has proven he is a successful cold-weather quarterback

What I liked about it proved that Caleb can play in the cold. ... No, he looked so comfortable and, and it was awesome to see. He's cold weather quarterback.

The Rams are a scary, scary team. ... What Stafford and Puka have going on right now, it, it just, there's nothing you can do. ... They look like the most complete team in the NFL.

Kirk Cousins might have another a hundred million dollars, $200 million contract if he could just play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because in the last three starts against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he has thrown for 1,158 yards, 11 touchdowns, and one interception.

The 'torch' has been passed to Drake May and it cannot be passed back to Josh Allen

The torch has been passed and that's it. It's over... Drake may has the torch and then it will go until we pass it to someone else... It can't go back.

Jalen Hurts is Russell Wilson 2.0 (and that is a good thing)

I said Jalen Hurts is Russell Wilson 2.0... I said Russell Wilson was a very good quarterback. I think Jalen Hurts is a very good quarterback. They, they're not the top three guys in the league, but they're somewhere after that where if their team is good around 'em, they're winning a Super Bowl.

Running the football in shotgun formation all the time stinks

I line up under center, every play is available to me... every direction is available to me. There's very little tendency or tell... when I'm in the shotgun, there's a smaller option of what I can do... When I'm under center, I turn my back to you in a play action fake. You cannot see the ball and the gun. You can all the time.

I would rather have the Eagles lose in the first round than miss the playoffs

I want to get a first round blowout so that next year could be Super Bowl... Preferably by the Bucs, but I don't think it is possible to play the Bucs in the first round.

The AFC is wide open this year

This is the most wide open AFC... You're only scary teams are the Chiefs and the Ravens... It is not a gauntlet.

Sam Darnold in games besides the that Rams game... it feels like based on vibes this year he's playing better than he did last year on the Vikings as a whole.

I'm softening on the Cowboys and no longer get joy from Dak Prescott interceptions

You know how I know that I'm softening up on the Cowboys? I don't get the same joy that I used to get off Dak [Prescott] interceptions. Dak interceptions used to give me life. They used to make me so happy.

I would rather see Jayden Daniels play and risk injury than sit him for the rest of the season

Big picture, if he gets hurt, I'm gonna be like, why the fuck was Jayden Daniels playing? Counterpoint: Good football players want to play football when they're healthy. I would really like to see Jayden Daniels play this weekend. I don't care. I like watching him play football.

Matthew Stafford's 31 career pick-sixes is actually a complimentary stat

Matthew Stafford has 31 [pick-sixes]. Brett Favre has 32. And you're like, 'Ooh, that's a bad stat.' And then you realize... that means you're very, very good because you played long enough that it didn't actually matter. It's actually kind of a compliment that the rest of your game is so good that 31 pick-sixes are completely irrelevant.

Ben Johnson was the real alpha and culture builder in Detroit, not Dan Campbell

Who is the alpha in Detroit? Was Ben Johnson or Dan Campbell? Ben Johnson can fucking run the football. Ben Johnson is jacked.

The Eagles run the simplest offense in the world and every team knows what they are going to do

Jameson Williams is the X-factor for the Lions' offense

Jameson is, he's like the difference maker. 'Cause he's gonna stretch the field and if you hit him deep, then you just, you start hitting Amon-Ra on the underneath... They need to get him going.
