Ex-Gators QB Anthony Richardson deserves all the pre-draft hype he's getting
It seems like with every mock draft, pundits’ opinions of certain prospects change. For practically the entirety of the 2022 NFL and college football seasons, the consensus top-three quarterbacks in the 2023 class were Alabama’s Bryce Young, Kentucky’s Will Levis, and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud. Flori...
These are Derek Carr's post-Raiders options
Derek Carr may not be a superstar, but several quarterback-needy teams are interested in his services....
Passing pioneers: A list of the Black quarterbacks in Super Bowl history
Sixteen years after Lovie Smith and the Chicago Bears faced off against Tony Dungy and his Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI, making history as the first two Black head coaches to reach that game, Jalen Hurts and his Philadelphia Eagles and Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are making hi...
Yes, the Chicago Bears should upgrade… the coaching staff
The Chicago Bears have an opportunity to make the king of all shrewd football decisions this offseason, and I’m not talking about replacing Justin Fields. No, no, no. What I’m offering is much more… drastic. Chicago is as well positioned as any rebuilding team, and there’s one coach who’s basically ...
Planes, trains, and a running game
A couple’s ability to get along when they’re marooned away from home due to travel issues is an indication of the strength (or weakness) of their bond. External turmoil forges or breaks a relationship, and this hastily written analogy is where the Bills are at as a team and in real life. ...
History is not on the Philadelphia Eagles' side despite an 8-0 start
Thursday Night Football saw the Philadelphia Eagles win their eighth game in a row, a 29-17 victory over the woeful Houston Texans. While many people have claimed the Eagles are frauds due to their lackluster schedule, it’s hard to deny just how electric their offense has looked and how stout their ...
This is bigger than Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones — Bill Belichick has never been good at drafting quarterbacks
I’m a New England Patriots fan that loves how Bill Belichick coaches football. I’m a New England Patriots fan that’s always hated how Bill Belichick drafts quarterbacks. Two things can be true at the same time....
A small win finally for the Carolina Panthers
They’ve lost three consecutive games, all by double digits. A team that was supposed to have an outside shot at the playoffs in a weak NFC South, currently is the frontrunner for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Bryce Young sweepstakes may not be the international story of the NBA’s...
The ‘keep your composure!’ 0-2 NFL team rankings
The panic button is my favorite concept in NFL media. Is it red? Where is it? Is it behind glass? Who gets to push it? Why are we pushing it? What happens when it’s pushed?...
The Rams were allegedly circling like sharks in preparation for Jimmy Garoppolo’s release
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams and Jimmy Garoppolo “had the makings of a deal” in place if the 30-year-old QB had been released by the San Francisco 49ers. Hearing this now, if it’s indeed true, isn’t shocking. Under head coach Sean McVay, the Rams have built their team on...
Deadspin’s NFL gambling guide/futures bets to make for 2022 season
The term “same faces, new places” has never been more relevant after the NFL hosted probably its wildest and most active offseason in history. We even witnessed the greatest of all time do a complete about-face on his retirement....
Howelling at the moon: Washington not getting anywhere with Wentz at QB
Entering his junior season at Chapel Hill, Sam Howell had NFL Draft experts salivating. He and Spencer Rattler were thought to be the franchise-changing quarterbacks of the 2022 class. How quickly they both fell out of favor. Rattler lost his starting job at Oklahoma and transferred to South Carolin...
There’s been an overcorrection on the Eagles
It’s impossible to walk by a game of oversized Jenga at the bar and not look at the teetering stack of blocks. There’s something about how it sways before inevitably crashing down into wreckage that’s enthralling. It’s how I feel when I look at the Eagles’ bandwagon growing like a neglected yard....
The Oregon Ducks’ biggest pro sports star of this century is… Justin Herbert?
Since 2000, the Oregon Ducks football team has reached double-digit wins 12 times. That’s more than a lot of schools in that span, including college football programs laden with tradition like Michigan (eight seasons), Florida (nine), Notre Dame (nine), and USC (11). There have been many unforgettab...
Exploring QB options for the Rams if Stafford’s elbow keeps him sidelined
All eyes are on Matthew Stafford and his nagging elbow injury as the defending Super Bowl champs navigate training camp. ...
A Danny Dimes breakout year looks more like Ryan Tannehill's than Josh Allen's
I love when coaches get credit for a quarterback’s success. Great coaches can make good QBs look great and make great QBs look all-time. However, when all they have in the kitchen is hot dogs and Hormel chili, the best outcome is a chili cheese dog and a greasy shit down the road....
Looking back at the NFL's QB roulette
Who will win this year’s NFL quarterback roulette?...
When it comes to Carolina Panthers QBs, the sum isn’t always greater than its parts.
Since Cam Newton’s shoulder and foot injuries catalyzed his exit from the franchise that drafted him in 2011, you could close your eyes, spin in a circle, blindly fire a dart towards a board and be more accurate than the seven souls who’ve been tasked with leading their rudderless offense....
This July 4th, let's celebrate athletes who revolutionized the game
On the 266th Independence Day in U.S. history, it’s a perfect time to look back at some of the radical revolutionaries in sports. Sometimes the path to success in athletics requires an innovative approach that changes the course of history. Let’s honor some of the luminaries and talents who channele...
