In a weird twist of fate, Darnold's play last year helped both Kwesi and KOC get their extensions. And him walking away may eventually lead to their firings.
My spidey sense is tingling that Joe Burrow will request a trade out of Cincinnati in the offseason. I think he's sick of the terrible OL he has to play behind, and the defense having zero talent.
The dragon has been slayed in the AFC. It's too bad Buffalo is having a down season the same year as Kansas City after they have been tormented by Mahomes the last 4 years in the playoffs.
I’m hoping for a Nick Mullens type of game with hopefully 1 or 2 fewer absolutely brain dead passes Nicky boy was known for. I think we will be able to move the ball down field and Brosmer will know where the ball is supposed to go on a play
This whole situation doesn’t pass the smell test. If there really was a local group interested, I find it extremely hard to believe they haven’t been identified by the beat reporters. Sid Hartman would have bullied every local business owner until he got a name.
There were articles last year about him taking virtual reps with VR headsets. Maybe he was watching something X rated on that VR headset instead. Who knows
That’s why I’m looking at trade candidates like Mac Jones and Jacoby Brissett… Kyler Murray, Tua, and Lawrence could be on the move and while I’m not a fan of any of them really, they do provide a floor of league average QB play.
Gross. But for less than $10 million I guess beggars can't be choosers. The main point is we can't head into 2026 without a legitimate backup QB who can challenge McCarthy for playing time. Wentz wasn't a serious option when we signed him off the couch a week before the season began.
Don't sound too excited about Brosmer now. Why not see what he has in a lost season? All he has to do is clear the extremely low bar set by McCarthy. Who, if he had simply spiked the football on his 20 pass attempts last game, would have earned a higher QB rating than he finished with.
Vikings should do this too. If he got fixed by the real QB whisperer Kyle Shanahan we can benefit off of that. Unless the plan in 2026 is to tank for a much better QB draft class in 2027...
It has to be something that broke down during the season with more reps. KOC, Phillips, and McCown have been around pro football for a long time. They’re not blind
