TGS weekly MVP tracker: Yes, a rookie is on top

The NFL regular season is on, and so too is the MVP race. Too early to start gauging MVP chances, you say? Shut up. Uncool to tell your readers to shut up? Maybe, but we’re in a cheeky mode and this post is inevitably going to be dripping with sarcasm anyway. The MVP race through, […]

Kirk Cousins gets off to disappointing start as Redskins starting QB

Jay Gruden said that former Michigan State Spartans star quarterback Kirk Cousins would give the Washington Redskins the best chance to win now. That didn’t end up being true, as Cousins struggled mightily in his 2015 debut against the improved Miami Dolphins.

Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr looks fine to play in Week 2

The Oakland Raiders are heading into a Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens that means a bit more to them than a normal Week 2 game would mean.

Is Peyton Manning done?

With only one career Super Bowl ring despite many opportunities, legendary Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway was 38 years old when he won one final championship to ride off into the sunset in 1998.

Indianapolis Colts must use RB Frank Gore more in Week 2

Frank Gore was one of the big free agency acquisitions for the Indianapolis Colts, but they barely used him in their Week 1 embarrassing 27-14 loss against the Buffalo Bills. Andrew Luck threw 49 passes throughout the game and struggled mightily for the most part. It was a sobering loss for the Colts and they […]

Winston’s Numbers Comparable to Mannings’, Luck’s Debuts
