He's got a better chance of being on a winning team this season, from the looks of it. Oh, well. The Browns will be the Browns. Once upon a time, that was a good thing. These days? What's the color of .... ah, never mind.Kenny Pickett appears to have won the Browns backup QB competition…

I see Shedeur Sanders makes the Browns roster, which I am glad for after all. Flacco has been a good NFL QB for a long time and no doubt Sanders can learn much from him. I hope he does.

So far he seems to have lived up to his pre-draft reputation of a high floor and unknown ceiling. Flacco and Stefanski both seem like they’d be great influences, and in theory he’s in a pretty good spot. Of course, if history is any indication, it’s only a matter of time until the owner comes up with his own plan to personally sabotage the position, but he can’t do a lot of damage until the offseason.
On a related note, I wonder who is going to be really terrible this year. I don’t mean terrible like the Saints are going to be, because they are literally down to a pair of inexperienced backup quarterbacks. I mean terrible like the Bears were under Matt Eberflus, doing less with more than the other bad teams. So who will be this year’s slow motion train wreck? I don’t think it will be the Bears, for the first time in a few years.
While I ponder that (I have a lot of free time - it’s my birthday), I’ll leave you with this classic from the late, great Mojo Nixon, and his band, the Toadliquors.
Then there's the epitome of cheap ownership...

That sounds like a lot of money to some people, but I'm guessing in the world of Jerry Jones it's not.

True, but when you have to stay under a salary cap every year, it's a big miss.
If Jerry Jones would rather get his press at the beginning of the season, instead of the end of the Super Bowl, I think we should encourage him.
I picture Jerry shambling around his stadium in the middle of the night talking to the Crypt Keeper himself, Al Davis. Muttering about the old days and looking for the overhead projector in his robe while wearing a single slipper.

I hope Caleb Williams can learn from last season so that he doesn't wash out like seems to be the fate of Bears quarterbacks these days.
Cowboys didn't get a big return for a guy who just turned 26 and is already one of the top 3 defenders in the league. Those two first-round picks are probably going to be very late in the first considering how good the Pack are now.
Giving up two firsts and that whopper of a contract, the Packers are betting the farm that Parsons gives them the push for a SB win.
The Packers got a good player, but they aren't getting the version of the guy they traded for. He got paid, he's done.

What seems to be getting glossed over here is that Green Bay gave up a dominant defensive tackle. That’s insane. There’s no way that gets you closer to a Super Bowl.
Of all the positions where a player can really change the outcome of games, week in and week out, defensive tackles are the hardest to find. Unlike pass rushers, they’re hard to find outside the first round of the draft, and the best ones just don’t hit free agency or get traded.
Maybe they’ve already got a guy on the roster, but otherwise it’s nuts.

Most commentators agree a good get for the Pack. Kenny Clark had a pedestrian year last year and at 30 probably doesn't have 4 more good years. No doubt, we're down a run stuffer. Parsons is not that. But we're excited to see what he can do.
Hi guys.
