Patrick Mahomes is not better than Josh Allen, Lamar, or Burrow. He was gifted Andy Reid, Kelce, Tyreek Hill, and a 10-win playoff team to begin his career. That’s the only reason people think he’s better. Give those 3 QBs what Mahomes had and they would do the EXACT same thing

@BarryOnHere Imagine if LeBron was asked to cut his assists in half and focus more on scoring. He’d have 55k-60k points easily

Top 10 scorers in NBA history and how many assists they have. There's nobody close to him.

@geoffschwartz Am I missing something? NFL players don’t care about the pro bowl so why did anyone think they’d really care about this?

I love the very serious takes on the flag football game today. Can't wait to grind the film.

@ChaseDaniel NFL players don’t care about the pro bowl so what made people think they would care about this?

@MattLeinartQB It is far more disrespectful for a USC recruit to dare ask Matt Leinart for #11, than it is for Matt Leinart to deny the request. Those recruits should receive far more criticism. Like who the hell do you think you are

Coach Riley hasn’t asked me if a recruit can wear my number so we can settle that right now. I’ve been asked in the past before and have said the same thing every time. This isn’t a big deal! Fight On ✌️

@jasonrmcintyre Let’s be honest J-Mac: It’s obvious that when Colin takes a vacation and you’re in his seat, you come into the show wanting to give takes that will go viral. No one tries harder to go viral more than J-Mac when Colin is on vacation

@KHollowell_ So you’re not going to mention anything about USC finally having a top-tier NIL budget? It’s all Chad Bowden huh? It has nothing to do with the NIL funding they now have huh?

USC is continuing to establish themselves as the preeminent recruiting force in Southern California. The Chad Bowden effect is real.

@ProFootballTalk Maybe Declan Doyle can tell Lamar that he expects him to sign it just like he expects him to be at voluntary offseason workouts

Ever notice how media/fans are quick to point out how Bill Belichick’s assistant coaches have failed, but don’t mention a word about how Josh McDaniels, Brian Flores, and Matt Patricia are currently viewed as outstanding coordinators? #AntiBelichickPropaganda

@OriginalRichSC The problem with you saying “don’t over analyze, watch the film” is that if Makai Lemon would have run a 4.43, you would have said “See! He has deceptive speed! I told you!”

@SamMonsonNFL Maybe because the players don’t ask to be credited, but the agents do because it gives their business exposure? You’re trying so hard to be critical of Insiders that you can’t even spot common sense

Hilarious that agents get to sign breaking news tweets, but when a player negotiates it himself, the insiders don't give him credit for the deal.

What fans think (or want) vs what is actually going on lol. Hilarious that some thought this Crosby mishap would make other GMs not want to work with him. 🤡
Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate

#Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said he has good relationships with other GMs and people around the NFL and that his phone is still ringing today after the Maxx Crosby trade fell through — so the idea some had that teams wouldn’t do business with him is not affecting him.

@tice507 @AlbertBreer I mean those teams don’t draft those QBs in the first round because they want to see them leave after their rookie contract. So obviously something didn’t work out with the team that drafted them which means…. It didn’t work

@checkmateblaze @AlbertBreer It’s not that simple. For one, NFL careers are short. For example, Luck falls in the 90% but that’s because his body betrayed him. Also, Goff wasn’t a bust with the rams but they saw an opportunity to upgrade w Stafford. That’s 2 off the top of my head that skews that 90%

With the release of Kyler Murray, just three of the 29 first-round quarterbacks drafted in the second decade of this millennium (2010-19) remain with the teams that took them. Those three: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

@JMUXL @AlbertBreer Pan out, work out (with their initial team). Bottom line is teams don’t draft QBs in the first round because they want to see them leave after their rookie contract. So obviously something didn’t “pan out” or “work out”

@checkmateblaze @AlbertBreer “Pan out” is a weird way of phrasing it. Jared Goff was traded, for Stafford, but he panned out. A lot of these guys are contract decisions. Baker Mayfield was seeking a contract higher than the Browns were willing to pay, but panned out on his rookie deal, he wasn’t a bust.
