Yes, sure, I realize C.J. Stroud passed for a million yards and 4 TDs against Georgia, but have you considered that he did not ace a weird computer-based test none of us had previously heard of?
Me, last month: "The quarterback position has never been this deep."
Me, seconds ago: "If I don't win this Andy Dalton waiver claim I am absolutely f-----."
Every Monday: Derek Carr is dealing with nine distinct injuries, is fully immobilized and not allowed to fly.
Every Saturday: Saints doctors found a liver for Carr so he should be clear to face the Panthers, pending a pregame workout.
I have covered the NFL for many years and been a fan for many more, and can honestly say that a Hall of Fame QB using the threat of game-show hosting as leverage to force a trade is my favorite storyline, ever.
Good time to remember there was once a college football team with OBJ, Jarvis Landry, Jeremy Hill, Alfred Blue, Kwon Alexander & Tre'Davious White and they made it all the way to the Outback Bowl.
This is another year, btw, in which the essential WR in fantasy football was drafted in the RB dead zone. Kupp in 2021, Diggs in 2020. People were sweating Mike Davis vs. Myles Gaskin vs. Cooper Kupp.
Reminder that many NFL players—Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson come to mind—have been absolute leaders on vaccine messaging and have used their platforms responsibly on the subject. Respect to them.
Reminder that Mohamed Sanu is the greatest passer in NFL history (among players with six or more attempts):
6-for-6, 228 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 38.0 Y/A, 158.3 rating 🐐 🐐 🐐

It is my opinion that this Medal of Freedom recipient, who is also a member of the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame—also a 9-time Pro Bowler, 2-time Defensive Player of the Year and NFL MVP—and also a long-serving state supreme court justice, should be verified.
Wanna tip my cap to the IKEA desk I just assembled, the Bestå Burs. Terrific battle. A worthy adversary. It fought fair — unlike yesterday’s Tarva, a bed frame without honor.
Underrated great moment from the 2017 NFL season: Terrance West gains 7 yards in a game his team trails 30-0. He makes the feed-me gesture. Fumbles on the next play.
If I was the Falcons I would simply tell the commish the internet went out and I got kicked out of the draft room and he just happened to be in my queue and can we please un-do the pick.
Antonio Gibson hasn't missed a game in a season in which he's played through a stress fracture. Just hit 1000 scrimmage yards for the year and he's averaging 27 touches over the last four weeks. You are, under no circumstances, allowed to issue fantasy complaints about him.
Here are the top-5 WR performances YTD vs. New England:
1. Golden Tate, 6-102-1
2. Randall Cobb, 4-86-0
3. JuJu, 6-78-0
4. Cole Beasley, 7-75-0
5. John Brown, 5-69-0
That's it. Only four WRs have reached 70 yards against the Patriots in 11 games. FOUR!
Folks, please know my highest priority is to make sure Taysom Hill appears in the player pool for all sports in 2020-21, with QB-TE-RB-PG-SF-PF-1B-OF-RP-RW-G eligibility.
Exploring a class action suit on behalf of No. 1 fantasy playoff seeds who don't have byes this week because some irresponsible commissioner decided an 8-team bracket was fun.
Fun facts about Travis Kelce:
* He outscored the TE2 by 57.4 points in half-PPR;
* He scored twice as many points as the TE6;
* He'd be the WR3, behind only Adams and Hill;
* He outscored all but three RBs (Kamara, Cook, Henry);
* Delivered 80 yards &/or a TD in 13 of 15 games.
“Look we’re the fourth winningest franchise in the league since 2000. That means in the upper quartile of winners were in the top quartile of that upper quartile.”

Just a heads up to anyone who happened to narrowly miss the fantasy playoffs in some painful and unbelievable way: Your team is about to erupt in its consolation bracket bye-week. Highest total of your season incoming. There's real science behind this.
It's pretty wild that in a year in which no QB is having a truly historic season and no QB has separated himself statistically — Brady, Burrow, Rodgers, Allen are a tier — MVP voters *still* feel they have to pick a quarterback. That is a broken award.
Proposal: Each team is guaranteed at least one possession in a timed overtime period before sudden death and we institute this at every level of football, then never discuss again.
Here's a partial list of QBs who have outscored Sam Darnold in fantasy this week: Andrew Luck, C.J. Beathard, Brock Osweiler, Blake Bortles, Tim Tebow, Christian Ponder, Tyler Thigpen, Kevin Kolb, David Garrard, Stan Humphries, Jim Everett, Derek Anderson, Rex Grossman, Kyle Or--
