I think it’s fair to say all the roster atrophy had worn on him, such that he was a little more jumpy and uneasy in the pocket this year than usual, but he’s still the best QB in the league in a vacuum. Not worried at all about decline moving forward unless the knee is bad
Pending knee health, do you think anything has really changed about Mahomes? To me, it seems the talent around him has atrophied heavily, and scheme is *really* stale (anytime you can have the worst running back room in the league paired with super niche WRs, you gotta do it).

I do not. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he’s already started his last game on purpose for the Vikings
Do you think j.j. can be starting calibre qb in the nfl? #Vikings

Which can work obviously! that’s really all Hurts has ever been with the Eagles for example.

To me it’s a Nix issue because he was this way in college as well. And we’ve seen Payton operate differently with other QBs, even QBs of a lower overall quality than Nix. I think RPO / quick game / screens / go balls as an offense is just who Nix is rn

Im still not all that impressed by him individually but I want to see how they reshape the skill player positions before I know how I feel about the O for next year
What are your thoughts on the Broncos next year with Bo Nix in Year 3, coming off this injury, etc?

It’s going to come down to Maye continuing to develop his internal clock and limiting opportunities to get hit. He’s got small hands; the fumbles are probably just gonna happen if he’s hit often enough
Level of concern for fumble issues for Drake Maye? How should the coaching staff balance the need to limit turnover with that habit probably being a significant factor in his ability to create the way he does?

oh I did actually watch him a bit because of some of those SB whispers and he’s just not for me

agree actually. I guess in my mind he’s still so new that I didnt even consider him a retread like Kliff, Roman, etc

I think Im most curious to see what the changes in Baltimore bring.
Which team are you the most excited for in 2026?

A majority of my gripes come down to Nix not being a very aggressive thrower over the middle of the field. He’ll only really do it in specific contexts (front side dig, maybe a seam on 4 verts).
What do you wanna see from the Broncos Offense/Sean Payton/Bo Nix - and can realistically happen - so you dont "need" to be so 'annoyed'/unsatisfied with them anymore?
(Dont get me wrong totally fine to be critical (in a constructive way), dont have to like everything)

It's Week 1 of the 2026 Season. AJ Brown is starting for ___?

He can be a top half QB again if he wants to be. Think AZ was deadset on pigeonholing him into an offense that wasnt really suited for him — wouldn’t be that surprising to me if he looks solid (but volatile ofc) again with more of a gun heavy approach
Whats your current opinon on Kyler Murray. not just on the cardinals Situation but could he be a good (top 10?) qb somewhere else. maybeba question for the Podcast mailbag :)

Styles is a stud. Allen/Hill both make sense to me as top 50 guys. York is very good technically and instinctually, just small.
Golday is a sick athlete but plays a fake position rn and I don’t think he takes on blocks well at all; not sure he’s a top 100 type for me
thats all Ive seen

Are you as excited as I am that we're finally getting a nice LB class? It's been real thin the last couple years. Not sure how far in you are but how many LBs do you think will be top 100 types?

I know they’re strapped for cash moving forward and the QB is no good but so long as that coaching staff is there I kinda feel fine?
On a scale of 1 to Jets, how worried should I be about the future of the Vikings?

to be a little topical: Devon Witherspoon - Rakan
technically not built like other engage supports HP/stats wise but has the best engage kit in the entire game. insane mobility and unique ability to weave in/out of fights with his dashes. can fit almost any team comp and be flexible role-wise

I want to say create 3 and 4 man surfaces under center and run at the edge players but NE has proven they’ll just fire the safeties if you do that
conversely, Im curious how much SEA empty we get bc they’ve really leaned on it at times and it might help undress some of NE’s pressures
