Examining the best potential fits for Robert Griffin III

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/25/2016

Washington Redskins president Bruce Allen has confirmed that quarterback Robert Griffin III will not be back with the team in 2016. “I see Robert getting an opportunity with another team,” Allen told the Dan Sileo Show on The Mighty 1090 in San Diego this week. “We’ve heard from some teams that are interested. I think he’s […]

The underrated Marques Colston has been one of the best late-round picks this century

0 comments by Brad Gagnon

Marques Colston’s time in New Orleans might soon expire, but what the 2006 seventh-round pick accomplished in his 10 seasons with the Saints should not be overlooked. Despite the fact 251 players were drafted ahead of him a decade ago, the Hofstra product ranks in the top 50 all time in terms of catches, yards […]

Give me one good reason why coaches shouldn’t be able to challenge every call

0 comments by Brad Gagnon

Seriously, just one. I want one sensible reason for why it makes sense for us to limit the plays coaches can challenge. Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio officially threw his support behind that idea this week, joining Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Ron Rivera of the Carolina Panthers. “Bill Belichick […]

Pass-rushing great Jared Allen

Should the Kansas City Chiefs release Jamaal Charles?

0 comments by Brad Gagnon

The Kansas City Chiefs won 10 of the 11 games they played without star running back Jamaal Charles in 2015, with younger backs Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware rushing for a combined 1,037 yards in 11 starts (4.5 yards per carry). Considering that we have proof the Chiefs can be very successful without Charles and that […]

Ranking the many quarterbacks who may be available this offseason

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/18/2016

I like to say that there are 32 franchises in the NFL but fewer than 32 franchise-caliber quarterbacks. That’s why it’s a big deal that there are several high-quality quarterbacks scheduled to become unrestricted free agents or projected to become available via release very soon, as well as a handful of good pivots in the […]

Will Teddy Bridgewater excel in Minnesota Vikings’ new indoor stadium?

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/16/2016

Teddy Bridgewater is a Florida kid who played the majority of his high school and college football in the south before launching his NFL career outdoors at the Minnesota Vikings’ temporary home stadium. The franchise was still building the soon-to-be-opened U.S. Bank Stadium, and it’s fair to wonder if the 23-year-old quarterback might have been better […]

Emmitt Smith’s career rushing yards record is probably untouchable

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/15/2016

During his 15 seasons in the NFL, Emmitt Smith rushed for a record 18,355 yards. And yeah, we’re all aware of what they say about records being made to be broken, but it’s beginning to look like Smith’s mark of 18,355 is about as unbreakable as they come in this league. The trends are obvious. Backs […]

Has Brock Osweiler earned the starting job for the 2016 Denver Broncos?

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/11/2016

The Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50, and yet seven teams have better Vegas odds for Super Bowl 51. Why? It might have something to do with the uncertainty that surrounds the Broncos at the quarterback position, but that’s odd considering that both Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler probably did as much harm as good […]

Cam Newton was more concerned with saving his leg than saving the Super Bowl

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/10/2016

On Tuesday, nearly 48 hours after he fell flat on his face with an abysmal performance in Super Bowl 50, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton finally properly addressed the media — and by extension, his fans — as he and his teammates cleared out their lockers in Charlotte. I was looking forward to hearing Newton […]

Newton-Wilson could become the next era’s Brady-Manning

0 comments by Brad Gagnon

The rivalry between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning has been one of the best of the 21st century, but those dudes are old. One might be retiring, the other — despite his insistence that he’ll play until he’s 83 — likely isn’t far off. Brady vs. Manning is over, but we might not have to […]

Images that will forever define Super Bowl 50

0 comments by Brad Gagnon on 2/9/2016

Super Bowl 50 didn’t have a lot of signature offensive plays. Instead, it was about some terrible turnovers and interesting reactions. Here are X images that defined the game. Image 1: The loose ball which Cam Newton inexplicably failed to attempt to jump on… I’ve watched this play a thousand times already, which indicates it […]

Was Peyton Manning’s performance the worst ever for a Super Bowl-winning QB?

0 comments by Brad Gagnon

Because the narrative dictates we do so, we’ll continue to say that “Peyton Manning won Super Bowl 50.” The reality, of course, is that the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50. And while they didn’t necessarily win the game in spite of Manning, he didn’t do a whole lot to help. Manning’s 56.6 passer rating is […]
