No idea how Stafford made it into the top tier. There's a pretty large gap after Allen/Mahomes/Jackson/Burrow. Whatever order you want to put those guys in, they are a clear cut above the rest of the league.

TRUE.

DC May Be More Receptive to a Trump Takeover Than Many Assume. Trump’s options are limited, and a full-scale takeover would require an act of Congress. It is also probably dependent on how well it would be received by D.C. residents. “The city doesn’t particularly like him, and he doesn’t particularly like the city,” George Derek Musgrove, an associate history professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, recently told NPR. Less than 7 percent of the District’s voters pulled the lever for Trump last November. It seems that most would reject a takeover. But would they? A big reason they might not is auto theft, which is out of control in the nation’s capital. Thousands of residents have fallen victim in the last few years. In 2023, auto thefts reached a 15-year high of 6,773 in D.C. That declined to 5,126 in 2024 but is still way up over the 2,186 that occurred in 2019. A car theft is an incredibly exasperating and infuriating experience, the type of experience that could make Trump seizing power over D.C. seem very appealing to many residents. I would know. https://spectator.org/dc-may-be-more-receptive-to-a-trump-takeover-than-many-assume/ Read the whole thing.

Add me in for a 3rd. I was a huge NFL historian growing up. Taped anything I could. He was one the all time best. His voice is football. Jealous of the guys who got to see the game back then.

MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN: Two more states look to ban junk food from SNAP benefits.

UB gets a vote in the AP preseason coaches poll. I guess that makes them the #51 team in the nation. https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/football/ncaaf/coaches-poll

UB actually got one vote.

I'm good with this take. If I get some time tomorrow I will take a look at how he has done with one or both Chase and Higgins out. I know they have missed a lot of time. I'm sure he has a decent sample to consider.

He's probably the exception, not the rule.

Don't know about you guys, but I find this ChatGPT version of Tarheel much more rational. Where's the stupid insult involving bodily fluids and f**k? Where's the paranoid style we've come to love and abhor? I think he should stick with the AI responses. Can pass for sane and semi-intelligent. Let's encourage him.

This is why President Trump is taking over law enforcement in D.C. (and elsewhere). Democrats have proven -- time and again -- that they can't control crime.

Burrow can’t kill you with his legs the way the others can, and Lamar can’t beat you with the creativity that Allen and Mahomes can. As you go up the ladder, each guy can do something that the guys below him can’t.

We don’t know.. the last time he didn’t have two #1 WRs he was at Ohio state unable to beat out Haskins for the starting job… once he transferred to LSU he went from Jefferson and Chase to now Chase and Higgins. I suspect his numbers would fall off if he didn’t have arguably the best one/two punch at WR, but this isn’t a knock on him, we just haven’t seen him without the plethora of weapons.

And Burrow puts up the numbers without the rushing threat. I’d say he has an argument as the best pure QB of the 4. The guy just slings it.

So why was Daniel Penny arrested

I think he would be just fine without them. He's the the best pure passer in football. One of the only ones left who play like QB's used to play.

all of them? I’m saying adding in a bunch of 80s rock (ie 35+ years old) probably isn’t going to happen to replace the current stuff that’s growing stale

Burrow is great, no doubt but he also throws to 2 number one receivers. no one other than maybe Philly has better top two receivers imagine Josh or Lamar in that situation?

Him and who else? If you care to see for yourself, look at all of the kickers selected first as far back as you’d like to go. Look at their career stats and then compare them with kickers who played in the league more than a couple of seasons. You’ll be surprised. Their stats are worse. I looked into this because I shared the OP’s view because it seemed to “make sense” and was surprised to find out the stats don’t agree. This is literally why teams don’t follow this strategy despite how critical the position of kicker really is.

You are far from alone on this. A huge percentage of baby boomers were indoctrinated into NFL fandom via NFL Films. The glare of their productions were a huge reason that the NFL became America's Passion, eclipsing America's Pastime.

Well, we know Mike White has the ability to put up a 300+ yard game. Trubisky is Trent Edwards that can scramble.
