Yeah, I mean there are a bunch of good teams in the AFC and I don't see the Jets being good enough to beat them. It's not very realistic to think they have a shot at the playoffs never mind the Super Bowl. I give the Lions a better shot mostly just based on the weak NFC. They very well could get...

If I were to make "bold predictions" this early, I guess I would go with these: Mac Jones has his best season as a pro and bonds with Bill O'Brien who turns out to be one of the best recent moves the Patriots have made. The Lions win their division and make it to the NFC Championship game...

To me they should be seeing Rodgers as a giant question mark. He had a bad year last year. He goes to a Jets team that really has not had a functional offense in some time. Could he be better for them than Wilson or Mike White? Sure, he could but what will that mean in terms of wins? Also when...

I don't think the Krafts will fire Belichick. It does not seem like that is on the table. I believe they did request that Bill give Mac Jones another year to see what he can do so Jones may be facing a big year. The 49ers have the best roster in football, minus the QB, and some think Darnold...

Matt Ryan has taken a broadcasting job with CBS but with the stipulation that he intends to return to playing football rather than calling games, I wonder if he is one of the guys that the 49ers have on speed dial in the event they need to quickly add a QB? I think Brady may really be done, by...

An early list of who may be able to draft Caleb Williams. In other words teams that may be terrible this season: Commanders - As discussed already, should be a lock for last in their division. Improved Eagles and Giants teams and a Cowboys team that should also beat them twice, should mean a...

I don't mean to be down on Howell, but most of the "experts" do not see him as more than a serviceable back-up at the NFL level. I'm sure he has his fans, all QBs do, I am just not expecting much from him. Could he turn out to be the second coming of Dan Marino? Sure, but I would not bet on...

Caleb Williams, yes. Unless some disaster happens this season for him, he is the number one pick in the 2024 draft. He is touted as the next Patrick Mahomes, a "generational" player, so the teams needing QBs will be targeting him. So, this is, technically, a good year to be in tank mode. Now...

You would think, he is interview number one they do. He's got to ride out what will likely be a crap season this year with Howell being their starter.

I also don't think the Commanders are the only team in tank mode this season. I think the Buccaneers are in a soft tank season as well. I think they are also looking at 2024 as a reboot season.

Basically, not a thing where the owner, management, and coaches tell the players "Hey, we are tanking this year!" they are not supposed to do that. It's more of a not doing anything to improve the team, starting a 5th round draft choice at QB that most people think is not going to be any good...

Well, the Packers have been a popular team on national TV for years because they have had good QBs for so long. Favre to Rodgers was a great run and I think helped win them fans all around the country. I've seen Love splitting the "experts" so far. Some think he is good and will be ready to step...

Agreed, they have to play the games. Washington looks terrible, on paper, and it really looks like they are going to do a major house cleaning after this season. What can I say, Daboll won me over last season. I was shocked the Giants pulled off what they did. So, I have faith in the HC to be...

Well, I kind of see their schedule as having a lot of winnable games. To me the tough part is weeks 3-6. Those games are a gauntlet. The start against Dallas and Arizona could be two wins. They are kind of lucky to get the 49ers in week 3 because their QB situation at that point will probably...

At this moment, I give the Giants a shot at the playoffs because they were, if nothing else, a tough team last season and Daboll turned things around. Now, he got the best season out of Jones and worked up an offensive scheme that really helped him and so best case is Jones plays as well or...

Yes, I will stick with the Bills in the AFC East and as one of the favorites to make the Super Bowl. Rodgers barely had a game last season when he threw for 250 yards. He was not good and now he moves to a Jets team, that does have a better defense than the Packers, and maybe some better...

Yes, it is like while we were sleeping the Earth flipped upside down and we are also orbiting the Sun in the opposite direction. The hype train for those two teams has already left the station and listening to NFL and sports radio stations this week, the players and experts they have on are all...

OK, with the 2023 schedule being released, here are two things we know right now about the coming NFL season: 1. The Jets and Lions will enter the season as the two most hyped teams. They both get primetime games in the first weekend of the season. The Lions play in the prestigious season...

I agree that the main thing I want from my QB is a guy that throws well and I would prefer he not run a lot, just due to the potential of injury and not wanting to lose your QB for any extended period of time. Some QBs run with the specific idea of avoiding contact. Some, like a Cam Newton or...

It seems what they really want is a guy that is athletic, meaning he can escape the pocket but not really a running QB. Mahomes, Herbert, Allen seem to be the ideal, they are very athletic but they keep their eyes downfield and are looking to throw it rather than having to run. They are able to...

Well, the book on him is prototypical size (6'3") with a good arm and accurate with the football. He does not run around and is purely a drop back, work from the pocket passer. Had good numbers at Purdue. My guess is, the great hope for him is he develops into a solid back-up that takes that job...

Goff will have to have another great year. The Lions defense will need to be a lot better. Basically, the Lions had the offense last season but their defense was a big problem. If Goff comes in hot this season and they can get better play from their defense, they should be a playoff team. I'm...

Well, the Eagles lost a couple coaches but in terms of the roster, they look like they should be right there in the mix. If Hurts builds on last season, they should go deep into the playoffs I think. The thing for 49ers fans is, they have a Super Bowl roster with a giant question mark at QB. If...

I think this is because the NFC North looks pretty questionable this year. The Lions probably are many people's favorite to win the division this year. They were the team that was on the rise in the North last season. Goff ended up being the best QB in that division last season and they are...

Well, that is several years older than they like their rookies to be, no doubt. Levis is 24, so just one year younger than Hooker, but I guess in NFL terms that still means you can sign him to his second contract before he is 30. I guess I would say Hooker is just my favorite of the prospects...

I like the move. I mean they have run with Tannehill a long time. This should be his last season as the starter. I like that Levis does not have to play right away and can sit a while to get up to speed on playing in the NFL. The Lions took Hooker in the 3rd round, a bargain pick if the kid...

Well, they made a big deal about that test because he did so horrible on it. The big comparison people were making was to Brock Purdy, who aced that same test...but of course went last in the draft. On the field, Purdy picked up the offense and executed it way faster than Trey Lance did. So, now...

Hooker would be, to me, a nice fit for the Giants. He could come in and once over his injury issue, be ready to play fairly quickly. The Giants made the commitment to seeing what Jones can do but having Hooker in the wings would be a very nice option. To me the kid looks like a natural leader...

The Steelers first pick in Round Two is really a first round pick because the Dolphins were booted out of the first round. I assume that with Levis available and still several QB needy teams, there could be a trade up to the top of Round Two for someone to land Levis. The Seahawks are a...

And Anthony Richardson went with the 4th pick to the Colts. I like to look at the top QBs coming into the draft and see where they go and what that may mean. In this draft the experts had 5 QBs rated as first round prospects that should end up starting for NFL teams. My take on all 5 is they...
