We're less than a week away from the start of the season, so let's share our hot takes so we can ~~delete our comments when we're wrong~~ show off how we're smarter than the experts. I'll post mine in the comments.

Kenny Pickett is a top 8 QB this season.
Derrick Henry is NOT a top 8 RB this season.

Henry's old, that take is lukewarm.

My hot take, Zach Wilson starts 3+ games this season over a "healthy" Rodgers. Healthy is in quotes because he might get tweaked and "shut down" in a losing season.

Haha wow, that is pretty hot. The inference there is not only is Rodgers not going to look good, but the jets will comfortably miss the playoffs. I like it.

I think there's a solid chance he just gets pissed at incompetence around him. Not naming names, but I'm not convinced a certain megafan of Goldfinger shouldhave a job coaching in the NFL. Any times there are major changes, you run the risk that things just don't click, and that happened last year...with that same Goldfinger fanatic. And Aaron's enough of a diva that he could just blow up.

Plus, his line sucks. I'll be honest, I'm a hater, but I think this could be a mega shit show in NJ. So, business as usual.

Yeah I completely get it. I think it works out, but I understand there's a good chance if it doesn't start well, it could snowball fast. Young coaching staff, lot of roster changes, a qb that isn't afraid to air his criticisms and doesn't have time for building phase... a lot of kindling there.

Since I criticized your Henry take, figured I'd also give you credit for the Pickett take. He looks like he could be middle of the QB2 pack. I think there are just a lot of guys with more talent or better situations in the league.

That said, Tomlin always gets the best from his squad. If Pickett ends the year at a mediocre rank, that probably means he's actually dogshit. By that logic, if he's truly above average talent, Tomlin could definitely craft a situation around him to get him into the top 8.

Sorry, but I'm disagreeing with your Derrick Henry take because I need it to be wrong!

Christian Watson will be a top 10 WR.

That's kinda hot. Where does Love fall as QB in this scenario?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I like Love and think he will be better than consensus, but still a mid range QB2. I think at best he may push close to the QB1 range.
