August 6, 2016
0 comment

Embed from Getty Images   You’ve likely seen the NFL Network top 100 list, a ranking accumulated by fellow players around the National Football League. It’s a passing league dominated by quarterbacks and skill position players, and the rankings reflected that. Forty nine of the 100 players were skill position players, and nearly half the league’s quarterbacks made the cut. In making my list, I tried to put as much…

July 9, 2016

Embed from Getty Images   It’s always difficult to speculate Hall of Fame chances for a professional athlete, especially one in the National Football League. A player can be on track for Canton, Ohio one day and rehabbing a potentially career-ending injury the next. That’s what makes it fun to guess which players will keep up their dominance. I evaluated active players based on the usual criteria – individual positional…

Embed from Getty Images   Who doesn’t love a good quarterback legacy debate? Following a 2015 season that saw passing numbers rise to an all-time high – and a year capped by Peyton Manning winning his second Super Bowl title and then metaphorically sailing off into the sunset, it seems like a good time to rank my top 100 quarterbacks to ever play the game. What I Looked At to…

Embed from Getty Images   You’re a new NFL general manager. You’re starting a team from scratch and can pick one quarterback to build your franchise around. Ignoring existing contracts, who do you want? Do you want a 26-year-old Cam Newton, a 26-year-old Andrew Luck, or a 27-year-old Russell Wilson? Do you want to bet on at least six or seven more years from a 32-year-old Aaron Rodgers? Or do…

Remember when nine or 10-win teams like the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens would sneak into the playoffs, get hot and win the Super Bowl? Yeah… it’s safe to say those days are a distant memory.  As it stands, the league’s number one overall seeds have each reached the Super Bowl in the last three seasons. That’s six for six.

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs is easily the most entertaining round of the postseason. The eight teams remaining are all legit Super Bowl contenders, and non-deserving playoff teams like the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins have already been bounced from the postseason.  This weekend’s games all feature a matchup where one quarterback was selected number one overall in the draft and the other won a Super Bowl. They’ve…

0 comment

Embed from Getty Images   The Philadelphia Eagles have named Doug Pederson as their new head coach, according to a report from The Philadelphia Eagles’ Daily News’ Les Bowen. It’s a surprise move from the organization, and perhaps it’s owner Jeffrey Lurie’s attempt to bring in a low-profile coach after three years with Chip Kelly. Pederson’s ties to Philly perhaps made him the most comfortable choice for Lurie and general…

It’s been one of the most fascinating NFL seasons I can remember and we haven’t even entered the season’s final stretch.  Just look at the standings, where a record number of teams seem to be embroiled in mediocrity, either 4-6 or 5-5. Then there’s the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers who stand above the rest, both with a legitimate chance to finish the season undefeated.  On the field, there’s…
