  • Three Bold QB Trade Scenarios

    Three Bold QB Trade Scenarios

    The NFL Trade Deadline is approaching, and what better way to stroke the canvas and begin work on the top three quarterback trade scenarios.

    3. Kirk Cousdins (Commanders)

    Cousins reunites with his former team that drafted him below Robert Griffin III in the 2012 NFL Draft and shifts to change after an abysmal October from Sam Howell, who cannot be fully trusted with Jacoby Brissett to lead Ron Rivera and the Washington Commanders to a Super Bowl championship.

    The Minnesota Vikings do not embrace Cousins as the starting quarterback and with a closely expiring contract. It is worth being expendable with Cousins and retrieving the best possible return.

    2. Zach Wilson (Vikings)

    Add Zach Wilson to the Minnesota Vikings’ luxury mix, and Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison will have a fair shake of exposure on the down seams. Wilson is a former No.2 overall pick with the potential to play in a market calling for a dual threat of his possible magnitude.

    The New York Jets can likely acquire many draft picks and continue increasing their stock in young defensive talent in Will McDonald, Quinnen Williams, Sauce Gardner, etc. If the Jets want to be ballsy and intelligent, they need to hold onto Wilson or utilize him on multiple offensive talents or the trade about to be shared.

    1. Russell Wilson (Jets)

    Russell Wilson, might I add, has been down this alley before. Electric crowd, impactful defense surrounded by him, and wait for it. National bright lights and soaring winds high enough to scream, New York.

    Russell will be playing in a new environment sometime soon. He will defer to his side of the field and play Jets football, days after Joe Namath stated he has basically had enough of Zach Wilson. Who could blame him? Jets fans?

    Judgment Day is near, and the Jets could not end their season any better by at least acquiring Wilson as a starter or backup. His days are outnumbered in Denver, and it would not be shocking if the Denver Broncos said goodbye to yet another quarterback not as good as Peyton Manning or John Elway.

  • Tony Romo at His Finest

    Tony Romo at His Finest

    Hello friends, Jim Nantz here. These are the words fans typically hear on a CBS opening broadcast, whether golf or basketball, but mainly football. He is the lead groomsman and then steps in five-plus year broadcaster Tony Romo. Handles himself with nothing but class and dignity by his peers, but at the same time, he is at his utmost finest.

    Take opening week, for example. Romo is assigned to the Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots. As most know, this is a single, unwasteful opportunity for Mac Jones to play against a competitive contender and leave behind an instrumental football game and the intact bearing of recent Tom Brady and his Krafted homecoming.

    Romo and Nantz’s voice is heard loud and clear after the Eagles early positive lead. In his Barney tune-sound, Romo cannot help but echo the sounds of his ultra-positive voice about the implementation of GM Howie Roseman by owner Jeffrey Lurie.

    There were positive strides out of Jalen Hurts, Mac Jones’ Alabama teammate. Still, the Patriots could not suffer longer as some immense contributions were accredited to Kendrick Bournes in the end zone, and as Romo enunciated wow in response to Christian Gonzalez’s first game with New England.

    Gonzalez accumulated one monster sack and stacked other numbers to help his team fall short. What came all short was Romo’s of not his golf swing. Tiger Woods stated other than Romo, there is no other celebrity or football veteran to play as good.

    Tony hurt himself, saying Micah Parsons was comparable to Lawrence Taylor. He might be a tremendous modern-day version, but we are not in the latter stages for those to soundly critique the sharpness and dedication those two left. Romo is a former Dallas Cowboy, but sometimes we must nip it in the bud and say wow.

    The Dallas Cowboys did blow out the New York Jets without Aaron Rodgers and decimate the likelihood that Cedee Lamb and others will be a crop of poor dandelions. Puka Nacua may have played the best yesterday with 15 receptions and 20 targets, but he only averaged a mere 9.8 yards per touch.

    So, the Dallas Cowboys can feel enlightened to believe Mike McCarthy is a Super Bowl play-calling head coach for a reason, and he is hitting all the buttons less far with Dak Prescott after lessening his interceptions to 0 and increasing his completion percentage to 71 percent against two concealing secondaries.

    The Dallas Cowboys are 2-0, and Parsons and Romo are, too, in their respective fields of environmental work.

  • ‘Traffic’ Hunter

    ‘Traffic’ Hunter

    Was Colorado vs. 17 TCU the talk of college football this weekend. I’m being rhetorical.

    In the beginning of the game, Colorado surprised critics and scored a touchdown. A touchdown some at the Athletic might recall? Yes, a touchdown.

    It was 1 of 4 passing touchdowns by Shaddeur Sanders and after the game X users started posting comparison photos of him and Tom Brady. Sanders finished as one of the top week 1 quarterbacks in passing yards with 510. He and Travis Hunter ultimately held the roof down.

    Hunter played a total of 141 snaps. So between offense (61) and defense (80), Hunter played to extremities and said after the game that he was not winded out. Talk about an unforeseen athlete of his generation.

    He was not as productive on the defensive side but saved what could have been a game-sealing touchdown late in the third quarter for coach Deion Sanders and Colorado.

    Critics said this team would win 1,2 or 3 games, if any, this season. Well, the Buffaloes check one down, more to come against ruthless opponents such as Oregon, USC, and final game, Utah.

    Coach Prime has always been a winner, and he brought coordinators over who know how. It will ultimately come down to the pressure this team and Shaddeur Sanders can handle with this no longer being Jackson State or a non-Power 5 program.

  • Carson Beck’s Job’s on the Line

    Carson Beck’s Job’s on the Line

    Carson Beck played solidly throughout the day against UT Martin, an FCS school. So much so he converted 21 of 31 attempted passes and gained 294 yards through the air to go with a 158.1 passer rating. Tremendously well done by the Jacksonville, FL native, but the real obstacle lies in the fact that he threw one touchdown and did not seemingly treat this as a game like the defense limiting a total of seven points to Martin.

    Kyron Jones had a sensational 26-yard interception return, and sophomore Malaki Starks finished with the most total tackles (8). Georgia’s defense held their gold mark last year, limiting teams to 14 points per game. They provided a considerable start without Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, and Kelee Ringo.

    But the problem does not rest there. Kendall Milton performed well with 9 carries on 5.9 yards per carry and so did Brock Vandagriff.

    Vandagriff, the redshirt sophomore, completed one of his first passes, and boy was it a doozy. It was so good that he converted on a long touchdown pass and later to the backup of tight end Brock Bowers. In the third quarter, Vandagriff had a lot to show for and he keeps proving it against Carson Beck and freshman Gunner Stockton, the physically gifted quarterback has a ceiling like not many other four star Georgian quarterback prospects.

    Carson Beck could have accumulated as many points as Oregon, 81, this Labor Day weekend but did not. The question remains: Is there a bullseye on Carson Beck’s back to win or play for the number one ranked team in the nation: Georgia?

  • Utah Defeats Florida in a Crushing Outing

    Utah Defeats Florida in a Crushing Outing

    Oh, Utah did not fail to disappoint without starting. Quarterback Cam Rising and freshman Nate Johnson. Bryson Barnes began a hot start and threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to vast receiver-x Money Parks. They both were money on Florida double coverage despite connecting only once.

    Transfer Graham Mertz looked to overcome the odds and resort to the ground game, which hardly established momentum in 17 yards of 19 rushing attempts. It was certainly not a better day for special teams either as within the first opportunity of the game to redeem points from a crucial Barnes capitalizing lead, Florida missed a field goal sending it with mere seconds to also punt off a illegal defensive substitution penalty electing the Utes choice to run it for a score by Johnson this particular time.

    The Florida Gators are hosting Tennessee in a couple weeks so as many pundits want to say their season is over. It is not. And if it is they have coach Billy Napier and staff to look forward to the 2024 class.

    But for now, Utah is looking steady with a 1-0 record, considering their first loss at Florida in 2022. The defense played great, sacking Mertz five times, and expect the Utes to face their most challenging game and rivalry between USC and Caleb Williams on October 21.
