Only because he is in the NFC. That wouldn't fly in the AFC with all the elite QB's.

That is all true. However, I feel like he is one of those QB's whose stats are a little better than he actually is. Or, maybe he was just a poor fit in Pittsburgh. His last two years were not good. But, he does have that past relative success in Chicago. He even made a pro bowl there.

Mitch is fine. He's an average backup. He has plenty of starting experience, which a lot of backups don't, and he knows the organization, the players, and Josh us comfortable with him. He is also pretty mobile, which is good to have with a backup because they can at least move the chains with their legs if you need them to.

He is not a franchise QB. If teams had to redraft from the current pool of QB's, how many would be taken before Tua? Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, Stroud, Prescott, Jackson? Probably even Hurts, Love, Lawrence, and Purdy? Plus you have some old guys who are better than him like Rogers and Stafford. So, I don't belive he can be categorized as a franchise QB. He is a decent QB, but not a franchise QB. PFF ranked him 14th! https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-quarterback-rankings-all-32-starters-2024-nfl-season

I think he said it again.

This was discussed a while ago. But, he sounds motivated. That's good. Anything we get out of him this year is a bonus. Expectations are pretty low for him.

There's been an overhaul at receiver as well, though. They still went out there and performed well. I agree that the back 7 has a lot of work to do. They need to get up to speed.

That doesn't look like Hyde to me.

He's a weirdo, but he's a smart weirdo.

Exception to what? The players just vote for whoever they want.

They need to go back to 16 games and remove the extra wild card playoff teams while they are at it. It was perfect the way it was. Oh well.

Ed Oliver. Terrell Bernard should be, but he won't.

They'd sell more junk if it looked better.

Classic is usually better. I'm not sure why we struggle so much to make things look good these days. I think it is just the propensity to overthink and overcomplicate things and trying to be too flashy.

Heck of a throw, though...
