Takes

The Rams would win a trade sending Matthew Stafford to the Vikings for Sam Darnold

There were floating rumors out there about Matthew Stafford being traded for Sam Darnold. Which would've been insane if that had happened. I was, as a fan of chaos, I was hoping that that would happen before the game because that we'll never see that again. And honestly, I think that the Rams would win that trade.

If the Eagles beat the Bengals, they are winning the Super Bowl

If we win this one though, I'm all the way back. Okay. If, if we win this one, I'm thinking soupy.

Lane Johnson, Reggie White, Brian Dawkins, and Jason Kelce are the Mount Rushmore of Eagles players

If I had to pick, I would say Reggie White, Brian Dawkins, Lane Johnson, Jason Kelce. [They] are just legends.

Jayden Daniels is already a top 2 quarterback in the NFC and a top 5 all-time prospect

I think Jayden Daniels is gonna be the best quarterback in the history of the Redskins or Commanders. I think he's gonna be the best quarterback in the NFC. He might already be the best quarterback in the NFC... Probably top five [all time potential]. I think Jayden Daniels is like absolutely the best quarterback that I've ever watched in my entire life.

Caleb Williams is better than Jayden Daniels going forward and will have the better career

I honestly think that we're all gonna become winners. And I'm gonna say it... He [Caleb Williams] is so much better than Jayden Daniels. I did not say Caleb Williams played so much better [this year]. I said he's so much better... I think Caleb Williams going forward is going to be the better quarterback. I'm talking about the future.

The NFL owners should force Jimmy Haslam to sell the Browns for ruining the guaranteed contract market

Jimmy Haslam giving Deshaun [Watson] that guaranteed contract pissed everybody off. In the NFL... I think that there's a chance, I'm not saying it's a high chance, but there is a chance that the other owners turn on Haslam because of what he did with the contract and set that precedent. I hope for Cleveland fans that they get to experience that... he should sell the team as just a fan of the sport.

The Titans will cover +11.5 against the Lions in a major let-down spot

The Lions for the first time in franchise history are now the odds on favorites to win the NFC... This is the first time that they are a double digit favorite under Dan Campbell. They just came off a very emotional two weeks where they killed the Cowboys, beat the Vikings... I'm not saying that the Lions are gonna lose this game. I'm just saying 11 and a half is a lot of points... it's a let down spot of let down spots.

Jerod Mayo might be one-and-done as the Patriots head coach

There was a rumor going around, I think... picking up a lot of steam. [That Jerod Mayo was going to be one and done]. I don't, I think that's unfair to coach Mayo to do this year, but I think it's probably smart to move on after the season.

The modern RPO-heavy NFL is 'Friday night high school offense' that gets quarterbacks killed

I don't like passing plays with the offensive line run blocking. I don't like seeing quarterbacks getting their ass knocked off because of this ridiculous protection offense that I'm watching. That's what RPO stands for me... I don't wanna see Friday night offense in high school all day Saturday and then see it on Sunday. I wanna see these NFL quarterbacks drop back to pass, throw an array of routes with different route trees and audibles.

Jared Goff is playing like Joe Montana

I don't even think it's close. I did a thing with the Detroit Lions last week. I think Jared Goff is starting to look like Joe Montana to me. He plays with continuous movement. He completes almost every single pass. He's tough as hell. He has continuity in the same system... I got Goff way up there on my list.

Jerry Rice is the greatest player of all time because he never caught a bubble screen

Jerry Rice [is number one all time]. The thing that Jerry Rice... you hear about some of these receivers now, you know, their stats and all this. Jerry Rice never caught a bubble screen. I don't know if Jerry Rice caught three quick screens either. He didn't want those routes. He was running patterns, man. And the greatest thing about Jerry Rice is I really believe he loved the misery.

The fumble-through-the-end-zone touchback is a good rule

I stand by my take that. That's a good rule. Yeah. I I like the fumble through the end zone fumble recovered in the end zone for Touchback.

The Buccaneers should fire Todd Bowles now and make Liam Coen the head coach

Their defense is bad... Liam Coen, their offensive coordinator is seemingly a very good offensive coordinator. If you want to keep him, you should make him the head coach right Now. Just because like Todd Bowles is what he is... I wouldn't let Liam Coen out the door and keep Todd Bowles after the season is over.

Lamar Jackson is already a Hall of Famer

I, yeah, I think [Lamar Jackson] probably already is [a Hall of Famer]. I'm not saying if Lamar retired right now he's in the Hall of Fame. But I'm saying the way that he's played. If this keeps up Yeah. like anywhere close to what he's been then Yeah, he's the Hall of Famer.

Jameson Williams should appeal his suspension to strategically miss fewer days around Thanksgiving

Jameson Williams, I, I, I do think that he should appeal it and wait because they play on Thanksgiving. So just wait and do it the week before Thanksgiving and then you only miss five games [days]. You take his suspension Sunday morning at 11:59. His suspension is over on Thursday at like three o'clock.

Brian Thomas Jr. might be the best rookie wide receiver in the NFL.

Brian Thomas might be the best rookie wide receiver now that Malik Nabers missed a couple games. Marvin Harrison is like, either he scores three touchdowns or doesn't catch a ball. Brian Thomas is the real deal looking awesome.

Tank Bigsby has one of the coolest names in the NFL.

Tank Bigsby deserves more credit for being one of the coolest names in the NFL... His real name is Cartus. Cartus is pretty solid... Cartus Bigsby. He is Cardi B.

Injuries absolutely should change a player's position on the depth chart if the backup is better.

I disagree with that. I think that injury can absolutely a hundred percent without a doubt change things up. Especially when the guy that comes in for the injured guy is better than the injured guy when the injured guy wasn't injured.

Jared Goff is a legitimate MVP candidate at +850 odds.

Jared Goff plus 850 on DraftKings Sportsbook for MVP. Just saying that... the last two guys who have had a three-game streak of 140 plus passer rating was Aaron Rodgers in 2011 when he won an MVP and Kurt Warner in 1999 when he won an MVP.

Chase Young is the NFL leader in 'looking cool' compared to actual on-field production.

Chase Young is probably the guy who looks the coolest and looks the most athletic compared to what he actually does on the field. I don't think that that would fit well in that system.

Jordan Love is the new Brett Favre.

Jordan Love is just Brett Favre... he leads the league in touchdowns and interceptions. 15 touchdowns, seven interceptions... he missed two games this year.

The NFC North power ranking for playoff confidence: Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears.

How would you power rank the NFC North right now in terms of confidence to go deep in the playoffs? I think the Bears have the longest shot. I'm not fooling myself here. I would say Lions number one. And then I would say, I think I'm gonna say the Packers number two... and the Vikings number three.

Fans have every right to cheer for Deshaun Watson's injury.

They cheered when he went down. I got no problem with that... he's a bad guy. I'm not gonna be like, oh, Boohoo Deshaun Watson... people being happy about it, I don't have any problem with people being happy about it either.

The Cleveland Browns should tank for a new quarterback.

Now you're probably trying to lose, you're one in six. You need to draft a quarterback. Let's call it what it is you. You've got a tank. It's in the best interest of your organization. Continue to lose.

The Panthers should start Bryce Young because there is no downside to him being bad.

Why not just play Bryce Young anymore? Bryce Young could easily throw a pick-six in another pick to put him in a big hole and then the game be over in the first quarter... play him and see what you got. What's the downside? If he's bad, you're at the exact same spot.

Dave Canales should have his 'quarterback whisperer' tag revoked.

I would like to formally remove the tag quarterback whisperer from Dave Canales for at least one full season... You were brought in to whisper to Bryce and you did not whisper effectively enough to Bryce.

Betting against Patrick Mahomes as an underdog is a move for morons.

I am the idiot who bet against Patrick Mahomes is an underdog now. No, actually I was gonna make an excuse for myself... but there is no excuse. I'm just a moron and I should, I should just stop gambling... If you try to outsmart Patrick Mahomes as an underdog, you're just a moron.

The Kansas City Chiefs' first loss will occur on November 17th against the Buffalo Bills.

I'm gonna say their first loss is gonna happen November 17th against the Bills. And then the Bills are gonna be like, we can beat the Chiefs and then they're gonna lose in the playoffs though.

Cliff Kingsbury will definitely be an NFL head coach again.

He will be a head coach again. There's so many dumb owners in the NFL that Cliff Kingsbury. A million percent will be. I hope he doesn't, I hope he's coordinator for life.

The New York Jets' season is officially over.

I think the season's over. We suck. We have no identity. We just, we're just a bad football team... we're as Jets as as possible.

Bo Nix is the Taysom Hill of passing

If you've ever wondered what Taysom Hill would look like if he was a little bit better at passing and a little bit worse at running, you got the full Bo Nix Taysom Hill experience tonight because Sean Payton was doing the old Taysom Hill playbook for Bo Nix.

The Saints are officially on 'Quit Watch'

The Saints are officially on quit watch. Dennis Allen, Richard Sherman said at halftime, he's like, they're trying to get Dennis Allen fired. I wouldn't be shocked. And the Saints are just like—this was so—this was a bad game.

NFL Week 7 is a massive trap weekend for favorites

Just remember that on Monday it was reported that it was the worst weekend Vegas has had in like 20 years. It was one of the best weekends for favorites of all time. So this is a trap weekend. Watch out. Don't fall for the traps.

I officially apologize for hating on the Buccaneers

I've retracted my take. I've done some soul searching about the Bucks. I apologize for saying the Bucks aren't very good. It is a hundred percent Chaps bias. I sat with Chaps for an entire game watching him and it just—it sits with you and it really eats away at you.

The Packers' all-white 'Winter Warning' uniforms are a disgusting affront to football

The Packers going with the all-white uniforms and all-white helmets are a disgusting affront to football color rush. It's a disgusting front. The Green Bay Packers—and I hate them—their football jerseys and color scheme are football. They should never do any type of gimmicky alternate bullshit. If you're a Packers fan, you should be disgusted by this.

Jerry Jones should trade Micah Parsons to reload on draft picks

If I were Jerry Jones, reload on draft picks and trade Micah Parsons. You have to pay him and your problem right now is it seems like you have lack of depth going forward. What's gonna happen yet? You locked up Dak, you locked up CD, you're gonna have to pay Micah Parsons. You could probably get a lot for him.

Nick Sirianni will be fired if the Eagles lose to the Giants

I'll say this right now, if the Eagles lose to the Giants on Sunday, Nick Sirianni will not be coaching the following week. He'll—he will be done. I think he will be fired.

Mike Tomlin is starting Russell Wilson to prove he's bad and go back to Justin Fields

Mike Tomlin, a man of his word, is like, I know I have a better chance with Justin Fields, but I promised Russell Wilson he's the starter. He's gonna throw him out against the Jets to basically have him suck. And then he's gonna be like, 'See, you guys told me I need to start Russell Wilson. I told Russell Wilson it wasn't his job to lose. He sucks. Justin Fields!'

Winning the Pro Bowl should grant players a 'reverse card' on the franchise tag

Especially think about the guys that are in that game... Or no franchise tag. Like they get basically an Uno card reverse on a franchise tag if you win the Pro Bowl. I feel like that—Roger Goodell, give us a call.

The Davante Adams trade was a masterclass in PR by the New York Jets

This is actually a masterclass in PR by Woody Johnson and his son, Brick Johnson and the entire New York Jets organization because they didn't even let the media have a single news cycle where we're talking about what happened on Monday night. And also thank you for just wiping that memory of that game out of my brain immediately.

Aaron Rodgers will eventually play for the Minnesota Vikings

I have been hoping for the last two years that the way this would all shake out for Aaron Rodgers is he goes to the Jets and then he goes to the Vikings. He does the Brett Favre. Like the guy he started his career out hating the most. It's like you become your parents at some point in life when you get older.

A head coach cannot have a beard as long as Jeff Ulbrich's

I don't think you could have a beard that long as a head coach. I'm just saying in terms of if you're looking at a head coach, like if you're mocking up a head coach, when are you drawing in a massive beard? The beard just doesn't give head coach vibes.

The Chargers at 45-to-1 to win the Super Bowl is an incredible value

I've decided to put a future on the Chargers to win the Super Bowl. They're 45-to-1. I don't think they're gonna win the Super Bowl. I do think we'd get in a spot where they get to the playoffs and we could potentially hedge. This is Jim Harbaugh's team. This is Jim Harbaugh's football team. I think they're gonna get to 10 wins.

Eli Manning is the greatest big-game quarterback I have ever seen

People argue with me, I get it. But he's the greatest big-game quarterback that I've ever seen. I mean the way he approached things and the fact that he really accepted the challenge. He wanted the challenge... I've seen him do it under any circumstance you can imagine.

The Commanders' Super Bowl window is officially open.

I will announce that the Super Bowl window for the Commanders is officially open. This is the start of the Super Bowl window. Wow. We're not a Super Bowl winning team this year. I'm not thinking soupy this year, but I know when I see it, we have a Super Bowl window. We got a fuck load of cap space. we have a great quarterback. An awesome quarterback.

The Browns are publicly shaming Deshaun Watson by forcing him to continue playing quarterback.

What if we're just thinking about it wrong? What if this is just the Browns actually doing justice in a public shaming way. They're like, he's so bad. And we know he is so bad he can't play quarterback. We're just gonna make him continue to play quarterback and publicly shame him because that's the only justice he'll ever have. ... The only way that the league can punish him? Make him continue to play quarterback.

Nick Sirianni is having a mental breakdown.

Nick Sirianni after the game or while the game was still going on, looked into the crowd and started basically getting in an argument with the Eagles crowd... Has he lost his mind? He also shaved his head. Which which is a classic sign of losing his mind. ... Siri's showing up today. I think that everybody thought the same thing. Like this is, we saw what happened with Britney Spears. Is Siri in a conservatorship?

Nick Sirianni and the Eagles will have a mutual parting of ways at the end of the season.

I don't know. I think his time is, I feel like, honestly I feel like it's gonna, at the end of the year be a a mutual, a mutual parting of ways. ... He doesn't like if that's the way you're gonna react to like the fans acting like the fans have acted in Philadelphia for a hundred years.

Joe Flacco is the better option if the Colts are trying to win football games right now.

And Flacco, he makes a couple mistakes, but they're no worse than any Anthony Richardson mistake. And then he's at his best. ... I mean, I think if you're trying to win football games, that's what you're supposed to do. Then you should start Joe. It's that simple.

I give Drake Maye a solid B-minus for his first career start.

I'm gonna give Drake Maye a solid B-minus. ... [A] bad interception. ... He did get pressured a lot. He did, you know, get thrown into the fire. But he threw a couple really nice deep balls. A couple mistakes. But it was, it was exciting.
