• Vikings Links: It’s Going To Be An Interesting Offseason

Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Getty Images The team has tons of options and flexibility! Still decompressing after that playoff loss against the Rams. The non-competitive nature of the game is what really depresses the most. For these dudes to not even show up for a playoff game is embarrassing. While Sam Darnold deserves plenty of blame, the offensive line really chose a great time to get th...2025

• The Colts need a culture reset

Julian Leshay Guadalupe/NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images I think it’s time to normalize the saying “The Curse of Andrew Luck”. Since Andrew Luck’s first injury in 2015, the Indianapolis Colts have been the face of mediocrity in the NFL. Never good enough to seriously compete and never showing serious potential. Andrew Luck’s sudden retirement in 2018 put the team in a d...2025

Photo by Bryan M. Bennett/Getty Images The Patriots’ rookie is playing well beyond his years. Unless you live in New England it’s been easy to overlook Drake Maye in his rookie season. The No. 3 quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft didn’t carry near the fanfare or hype as the two guys selected before him, nor did Maye come with the same level of profound (bordering unrealistic) expectations. ...2024

Photo by Mario Hommes/DeFodi Images via Getty Images The Jets look bad and a big reason for that is Aaron Rodgers’ play. Wow, what a wild weekend of football.

• 2024 NFL Draft quarterback deep dive: Drake Maye, North Carolina

Photo by Lance King/Getty Images Is Maye the quarterback of the Giants’ dreams?

"A bunch of bandaids were put in place, starting with Jacoby Brissett to Philip Rivers."

2024
"As with so many Philip Rivers games, the veteran quarterback had one final drive with a chance to win, but his final desperation heave toward the end zone fell incomplete as time ran out."

2018
"While we’re on that topic, not only did the Dolphins and Nick Saban blow it by signing Daunte Culpepper instead of Brees in 2006’s free agency period, but why do the Chargers get a pass for choosing to draft and then retain quarterback Philip Rivers over Brees in the first place?"

"Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said the Giants' benching of Eli Manning was "pathetic."

"Reich comes over from the Chargers, which ranked ninth in total offense and fourth in passing offense last season, albeit with Philip Rivers leading the way."

"Not only is he the team's highest draft pick since it took Philip Rivers fourth overall 11 years ago before flipping Rivers to the San Diego Chargers for Manning, but he's also had to prove that he's durable enough to be relied upon while trying to fill Cruz's clown-sized shoes way earlier than he was supposed to."
