As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of the NFL, the Hall of Fame candidacy of 20 active players sparks heated discussions. We know Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes will one day make it to Canton, Ohio. Same for the Kelce brothers. But what about Josh Allen? Or Justin Tucker? We’re delving into the careers of these borderline players, examining their achievements, stats, and impact on the game. These individuals find…

AFC East Buffalo Bills Projected Record: 12-5 (division winner) Josh Allen puts up his fourth consecutive season of 35 TD passes and five or more rushing scores; all other QBs in history have combined for five seasons. The Stefon Diggs noise gets louder and louder, even as he’s peppered with an absurd amount of targets. The Bills force feed him passes even late in games, quietly add some more guaranteed…

Anywhere from four to eight former NFL players get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame every year. Considering there are 32 NFL teams with 53-man rosters (plus injured reserve, suspensions, practice squad, and roster turnover), that’s over 1,700 players who will set foot on a football field in 2023. The odds of any one of those making it to Canton, Ohio (home of the HOF) is extraordinarily low….

You can’t get every prediction right. Last year, I predicted that Joe Burrow was on the David Carr track. While Burrow did absorb a shocking amount of sacks in 2021, he also took the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl. Carr never did that. I had Trey Lance and Trevor Lawrence finishing 1-2 in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. I also said Derek Carr would be benched (for…

  1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travon Walker, EDGE, Georgia GM Trent Baalke will be betting on pure upside with this pick, and Travon Walker offers both impressive athleticism and versatility to play multiple roles on the defensive line. Aidan Hutchinson may be the ‘safer’ pick, but Walker’s 35-plus inch arms and 4.51 40-yard dash make him a physical freak. At Georgia, Walker played everywhere on the line – from a zero-technique…

  In some ways, this NFL season was as typical as any we’ll ever see. Kansas City and Green Bay won their respective divisions. Aaron Rodgers threw a lot of touchdowns, Gronk spent much of the season Gronking, Aaron Donald was amazing, and Baker Mayfield made a ton of commercials. In another way, it was a season unlike any in a long time. The 17-game schedule threw everyone for a…

Jacksonville Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence, QB, Clemson There’s no need to overthink this pick and the Jaguars won’t. Trevor Lawrence is as locked in of a first round pick as we’ve seen since Andrew Luck to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012. He’s even started donating to Jacksonville charities. 2. New York Jets: Zach Wilson, QB, BYU Trading Sam Darnold tells you the Jets are moving in a different direction, and drafting…

I’ve long since been a fan of Philip Rivers. For 15 seasons, he epitomized a lot of the qualities you’d like in a quarterback – size, pinpoint accuracy, trash talking skills, and unbelievable durability. His flaws were obvious as well; by the end of his career, he was removed from the game in obvious Jacoby Brissett running situations, he couldn’t throw deep very well, and he’s statuesque in the pocket….

  Week 1 is only Week 1, but if we look at last year, all the signs were there that Lamar Jackson would win MVP, Mitchell Trubisky would cost the Chicago Bears a playoff spot, and the LA Chargers would be just fine without Melvin Gordon.   There were also aberrations (remember how well Marcus Mariota directed the Tennessee offense?). It’s fun to break down 10 storylines from Week 1…

  The NFL will finish the 2020 season. It seems ridiculous to have to put this in a preview article, but we’ve also never before seen a year like 2020 before. The coronavirus pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives and led to the craziest baseball and basketball seasons ever. The NFL remains determined to start on time, play all 16 regular season games, conduct a full postseason, and…
