The Rams are a Super Bowl winning threat because of their matchup advantages

I've been talking about the Rams being a team that I put a future on them to win the Super Bowl like three weeks ago. I think they are a matchup problem for a lot of teams.

The media will start blaming Antonio Brown if the Buccaneers struggle

If the Bucs struggle, they're going to start saying that Antonio Brown, what you get on the field isn't worth what you lose in the locker room. Because – now, I don't fully believe that, but – I do think there's a point where you might have too many weapons.

Brown stayed relatively out of trouble during the 2020 season and helped them win the Super Bowl.

These are the repercussions of missing. When you take a swing for the fences on a quarterback in the first round and you miss, you feel it for a decade going forward. The Bears will be chasing that mistake for a very long time.

The Bears struggled for years to find a QB, eventually moving on to Justin Fields (who also failed) and then Caleb Williams in 2024. The 2017 miss defined the Pace/Nagy era.
