NFL: 2024-25 NFL News, Notes, Other Probably Dumb Stuff and the Like (Bryce Young starting again)

[StreetHawk]

Daniel Jones shouldn’t have been drafted that high in the first place, John Mara should be called out for that shit storm because the sole reason the Giant's picked Jones was because he knew the Manning family.

Whoever picks the new QB, fresh start.

they went with Barkley the year prior over Darnold/Allen. But, didn't have the Offensive coaches to develop them. So, good that they passed (for Allen's development). Jones/Haskins were not a good QB class. A 4 year starter but limited upside and a 1 year starter who wasn't mature.

Passed on taking JJ McCarthy/Penix. Not a big fan of Sanders personality (I like a more even keeled temperment QB, just a personal bias). Ward, he's very much an off script guy, so playing in structure, not his forte and honestly, he's going to wow you while at the same time frustrate the heck out of you for missing easy passes.

Raiders, they came off a bye week and Miami was flying home cross country on a short week and still got beat running away in the second half.
Titans, just going to roll with Levis as they will aim to make a decision on him in the off-season.
Browns, just going to be the Browns.

5 clubs with 2 wins. Those 3 plus the Giants and Jags.

Giants finish with TB, Dal, NO, Bal, Atl, Ind, Phi
Jags finish with Hou, Ten, NYJ, LV, Ten, Ind,
Raiders finish with Den, KC, TB, ATL, Jax, NO, LAC
Browns finish with Pit, Den, Pit, KC, Cin, Mia, Bal
Ten finish with Hou, Was, Jax, Cin, Ind, Jax, Hou

Ten/Jax have a H2H still, so someone is winning those games.
Raiders/Jags meet so someone will win that game.
Browns in tough with 4 divisional games, plus KC, Den, Mia.
Giants, most winnable game is the Dallas one without Dak.

I was not aware the Titans have two games left against the Jags. They may take themselves out of contention for one of the top QBs with two wins there.

They are divisional rivals. So have to play one another twice. So one or both could be out of the race to the bottom if they split.

Figure the worst team will max out at 3 wins based on what the 2 win teams have remaining.

Carolina has 3 division games vs TB and Atl. Plus KC, Phi, Az and Dal without Dak.

Figure the worst team drafts Sanders. Then for Ward, hard to say as he’s a highlight reel guy but misses simple throws. Does your HC (and I would only trust an offensive HC) have what it takes to try to correct that. Not banking on a defensive HC to do that.
