@SleeperNFL @SleeperAZCards @BoltUpYo It’s any given Sunday and all those guys have jobs to do. This is definitely a possible upset. Especially with a unproven DC in the Chargers at the NFL level. I still think the Chargers pull it out but look out for a big yards game from the cardinals fantasy owners.

Alright time stamping my 2026 NFL predictions.

MVP: Joe Burrow
Runner up: Justin Herbert
OPOY: Jahmyr Gibbs
DPOY: Will Anderson Jr.
OROY: Jeremiyah Love
DROY: Caleb Downs
CPOY: Fred Warner 👀
COTY: Jesse Minter
#1 offense: Chargers
#1 defense: Ravens

I have reasoning behind all of these and I’ll defend them. No changing my answers in January though.🤷‍♂️

@danorlovsky7 Second year in a great offensive system..lookout. Caleb Williams will be dangerous this year.

@kreme8727605 @trulyCIME @UnderdogNFL @charlottecrrll I agree. By demeanor I mean more calm but also confident. Not caring as much about what people think it seems. If anything I’m glad he is more calm. Not everyone turns out that way unfortunately and stays stuck in the 20 year old mindset.

@NFL_DovKleiman Dang he didn’t have to roast them like that 😂. Hopefully this ages well as he season goes along. You know the Rams will use this as a receipt.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@DanGrazianoESPN That is pretty funny 😂. The fact they actually work the puns into the contracts makes it even better. “I Got 99 Problems” and “Blue Solo Kupp” might be the ones I like the most.

@TomPelissero @ringer @netflixsports Wanted to makes sure he had a good first game before they publicly announced it..😏😂

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@danorlovsky7 @PaulHembo Maybe 🤔. But, Mahomes is a different style of QB than Brady. His movement in the pocket makes him special along with his arm talent. We shall see if after the first couple of hits if he favors that knee and becomes hesitant to move around how he is accustomed to.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@MBozzeli @danorlovsky7 @PaulHembo This is unnecessary.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@AdamSchefter He’s got this. He’s always been a quality QB2. This is why roster depth is so important.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@AdamSchefter I’m not sure if there will be much of a drop off. I think Rush will do fine.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@acosta32_jp Guard did a great job getting to the second level to block Greenlaw and open that hole up for the RB.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@cfrelund Okay….but I’m less interested in the Super Bowl prediction itself and more interested in WHY the model likes Denver this much. Defense? Bo Nix’s development? Sean Payton? Schedule? Give me the context behind the prediction 🤔. Obviously this without seeing the entire segment😂.

@PFF Trent was like “Boss said you’re not allowed in”

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@SharpFootball Most QBs have a hard time when faced with high pressure rates. It either forces turnovers or missed opportunities. Pass rush is ESSENTIAL for Quarterback disruption.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

@StevePalazzolo_ Forget the MVP prediction for a second😂. I think the more interesting question is whether we’ve ever actually seen the best version of Herbert.
Same talent. More organizational stability. I’m curious what that looks like. We shall see if Sam’s vote ages well.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

So my #JustinHerbert hot take isn’t that he’s underrated. I think we have spent years trying to rank him without properly accounting for his environment.

Coaching, scheme, protection, weapons, defense…give me the same standard for every QB THEN tell me who played the position better.

That’s the Herbert conversation I want to have….

@ChrisRings @MySportsUpdate I get that. But, even the most “successful QB” is different from the most “valuable” one.

[Pocket Context @PocketContext]

Well honestly…This is actually why I like having Cooper Rush as QB2. You’re not asking him to save the season. You’re just asking him not to sink it. He’s been thrown into this situation before and shown he can keep an offense afloat.
After what Drew Lock just did, that backup QB spot looks a whole lot more important. 🤷‍♂️
