Fun watch. And there are people who argue Turner is a bust when he wasn't able to get more snaps...ahead of THIS guy.

"Kirk Cousins felt 'misled' after Falcons drafted Michael Penix Jr."

Yep, that's life in the big city, nothing is guaranteed. You went for the bag and got it, can't look in the rearview now. He says he was hurt and if affected his play....ok....but the organization inserted Penix and haven't looked back. You'd think if they thought his poor play was injury-related only they'd have a competition this year for the starting job. Cousins is a competitor so I'm sure this is a blow to his ego, but they named Penix this year's starter many months ago. My guess is its for a reason.

About the NFC, Florio writes…“In the NFC, it’s the Eagles, Lions, Rams, 49ers, and Commanders. Maybe the Buccaneers. Maybe the Vikings.”

Curious why we keep seeing the 49ers on these lists. I get that they have a history of winning, good coaches and a QB who’s proven he can win. But this is also a team that was 6-11 last year, and to THAT team they added no one of significance and subtracted the following players: Deebo Samuel, Jordan Mason, Javon Hargrave, Maliek Collins, Leonard Floyd, Talanoa Hufanga, Dre Greenlaw, Aaron Banks and Charvarius Ward, among others. In terms of money, this represents the largest player exodus in NFL history. 

Compounding matters, their 2021, 22 and 23 drafts produced only two starters: Brock Purdy and Deommodore Lenoir. What’s more, they have a whopping $92M in dead money for the 2025 season, which leads the NFL by almost double the amount of the 2nd place team.

So this mess of a 49er team is a sure-fire contender, while the 14-3 team who lost nothing of significance and added 5 starters who have 8 Pro Bowls between them is a “maybe"? Got it.

The stories coming out of Texas Hill Country are absolutely heartbreaking. This video is the first I've seen that shows the MASSIVE volume of water that went through... in just 35 minutes. 

This is an interesting selection for Minnesota because he's limited athletically, not a typical KAM pick. Productive at Penn State. Dense and muscular bad ass, but operates best in a box not chasing or running, but can flow/shed and is instinctive. He'll hit you hard. He's really a Mike LB. Special teams pick probably. Maybe they saw something in him like they saw in Ivan Pace Jr. although King is bigger and stronger. Would definitely add some bad assery to the LB core as a situational guy, but I think the odds are long he sticks but he might move a guy off the end of the roster with good special teams play. 

It’s pretty easy to connect the dots on this…

Anything less than winning 1 playoff game would be a disappointment for me. 

Minimally? We gotta end the season knowing we're set at QB going forward. 

What say you???
