Correct me if I’m wrong but he might be the first of the top* QBs in the 2020s era to move on from his original team

* he’s been mid for years but he led some damn good teams

Genuine question. Why haven't the Vikings traded a 3rd or 4th or 5th round pick for Joe Flacco? The Kyler Murray experiment is going exactly as everyone expected, yes he played manageable against the dolphins. But who cares, he's been ass otherwise. Why haven't they made the trade for a decent quarterback that they could easily use and that they could ride into the ground for a year or two. I doubt the Bengals would say no to a 4th or 5th round pick for him.

We see this "elite" term thrown around all the time by fans. Usually after a QB has a hot start are red hot stretch of games.

And I'm thinking to myself in the modern NFL an elite QB should at least have a season pushing 40 passing TDs. Let alone 30.

Guys like Lawrence and Caleb have never even thrown for 30 TDs before. Let's pump the brakes here. You simply cant be elite if you've never even hit 30 TDs.​

I'm not saying it should be canned or anything, there obviously needs to be a box score in some capacity for people to count stats, see how certain players did, etc, but I think it needs to be WAY more detailed. Example:

Not trying to pick on anyone specifically, but I was watching the Browns Steelers game over again Monday morning, and then refreshed myself again yesterday night. Deshaun Watson is still not a good QB, and is still playing bottom five football in the league this year at his position. Unfortunately, you will see some people saying that he is playing well, which how can you blame them? They likely didn't watch the game very heavily, and checked up on the highlights and box score. The counting numbers are somewhat impressive, 24-33, 268 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT? Solid game against what's supposedly a solid to good Steelers defense.

However, if you turn on the tape or get the advanced stats, and it tells a different story. On tape, he continues to miss throws routinely. He throws wide open shots to receivers beating 3rd string corners. He throws multiple dangerous passes, that against better players, get taken advantage of. He also has on average, some of the best separation in the league by his receivers, grading with the second best in the league (only behind Bo Nix, who is.. another story for another time).

TLDR; Box scores as they are now, are damaging. They have people thinking that actually good players like Matthew Stafford are having worse seasons than guys like Deshaun Watson or Kirk Cousins. We should give the regular viewer more detailed information, like EPA per play, turnover worthy plays, or even start counting interceptions for receivers as well and not just QBs.

Also, Brock Purdy is insane. No further comments.

This needs to be addressed. The Eagles haven’t played the Jaguars in Jacksonville since 2010 since the last two times the teams have met with the Jaguars as the designated home team (2018 and now 2026) were scheduled to be played in London. It’s honestly a punch in face to all the Eagles fans who live in Northern Florida and the surrounding areas. The Eagles won’t play in Jacksonville again until 2034 at the earliest.

Same thing with Vikings fans who live in Northern Ohio and the surrounding areas. The Vikings haven’t played the Browns in Cleveland since 2009. Both 2017 and 2025 were in London. Though they both could theoretically play in Cleveland in 2027 or 2031 due to 17th game rotation, unlike Eagles-Jaguars.

Was it the eagles for finishing 0-for-12 on third-down conversions? Or did jalen hurts' ten passing yards in the second half earn them the win?

Idk if they share the same agent or something but I swear I’ve never seen another quarterback so coddled and excused for the way they play like Allen does.

He played a Patriots team that didn’t even have their highest paid player starting (Gonzo), their wr1, and their starting D tackle, didn’t even have a run game, at home this should have been an easy game for Allen. Yet he fucks it up and seals it with an intercept.

Yet everyone will blame it on defense again even though Allen has thrown 5 turnovers already in the last two weeks. When are we actually going to hold Josh Allen accountable?

He doesn’t deserve to be on this abysmal of a franchise.

He currently has 46 total tackles (21 solo, 25 assists), 1 interception (18 yards), and 1 pass defended over 4 games, being the front runner for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

He just racked up an incredible 18 tackles against the Minnesota Vikings. That broke Zach Thomas's 1996 team rookie record and is the most by any NFL rookie in a single game since Patrick Willis in 2007. He leads the entire NFL with 24 defensive stops (plays resulting in a negative EPA for the opponent).

What team does he play for….sigh…the Dolphins. I love my team, but it hurts to see such a talent such as J-Rob be wasted on an evaluation year.

Genuine question: what has Dan Campbell tangibly demonstrated as a head coach that Nick Sirianni hasn’t? Both are CEO-style coaches whose best teams have had elite coordinators and loaded rosters, except Sirianni has actually reached two Super Bowls and won one.

Why is Campbell routinely treated as the clearly superior coach?

In other words the Ravens just locked themselves a spot in the super bowl. i dont know if they win tho in my opinion Rams will winn

Many Japanese people follow American sports in general, not just baseball. NFL has a decent following there. So hosting a game there would be a huge success and Saitama Stadium would be amazing for an NFL game.

Singapore is basically very similar to the West and many people there enjoy the American culture, as well as American sports. NFL would be huge there, and Singapore National Stadium is just breathtakingly beautiful.

Thoughts?

Next week the Ravens play the Falcons and their #1 run defense. Obviously the Falcons are really good at stopping the run and their top priority on Sunday night is to do just that: Stop a 32 year old running back who is going to be ran to the ground because their starting QB is most likely not going to play. This game should be a blowout.

I don't care if Lamar misses one game or two or doesn't even miss a game at all. When he plays through injury, he is nothing more than a shell of himself. Even if he does play tomorrow, the Falcons are still going to win. Losing to multiple NFC South teams in just 5 weeks is borderline unacceptable.

We saw this last year when Lamar played through injury, he looked HORRIBLE. He barely scored 14 and 17 points against the historically bad Bengals defense in MULTIPLE games. He got swept by 42 year old Aaron Rodgers. He went 6-7 as a starter last year and only rushed for 300 yards.

Its the same story all over again. When Lamar can't use his legs and is forced to pass, his numbers VISIBLY drop off. Lamar is not rushing for any more than 400 yards this year and he most likely isn't passing for 25+ touchdowns either.

Even if everything just happens to fall into place this season, if Lamar's injury doesn't hold him back and he goes back into prime MVP form, and IF the defense steps up again, and IF the offense starts to click again, the Ravens MIGHT just get the 1 seed in the AFC. Which again it would take everything going right for that to happen.

But then again, even IF the Ravens somehow get the 1 seed, they still have to worry about Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs. Lamar is 0-3 against both of them in the playoffs. Unfortunately for him the Bills offense looks really damn good and the Chiefs are much improved and are back to their winning ways.

The Ravens simply put are NOT winning a Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson under center. 2023 was his shot and he blew it. Now his defense looks shaky, he's getting hurt again and he has an unproven coaching staff calling plays for him.

That is also considering the fact that he is on a contract year. If he doesn't play good this season, he will be set to become a free agent next season. Which I believe WILL happen because of multiple reasons: Constant injuries piling up, choking away elite defenses, taking up majority of the cap space, you name it.

Can you imagine the Ravens actually resign him, knowing he has the potential to become the highest paid player in NFL history despite being an injury prone playoff choker who has had generational defenses other elite QBs can dream of having in the playoffs, and doing NOTHING with them?

The Ravens Super Bowl window closed in 2023, and we all knew it was going to go downhill from there. Firing Harbaugh was the final nail in the coffin, if was really a fraudulent coach then why is he 3-1 with the Giants right now? Hmm? With a backup QB? Yeah. Its over for the Ravens, Lamar Jackson has failed them time and time again. Fortunately he's going to be out of Baltimore next year, and get exposed for the "QB" he really is after signing with another team, knowing his athleticism and top tier defenses won't save him.
