    THIS will be the most significant part of our football season this year - watching as many top 2027 QB prospects as we can. Not that there's anything wrong with it. My wife gets so proud of the plaque she gave me a while ago that reads: "We interrupt this marriage to bring you football season."

    Yeah, we'll watch the Browns but how many more years/decades do we have to continue watching this insanity? As I posted this weekend, we have never won a playoff game at home in the current stadium dating back to 1999 and it's conceivable we never will (with only 2-3 years emaining there). As bad as that sounds, you further clarified the Browns have never even HOSTED a playoff game in the stadium.

    It's going to be an interesting year of college football this season regarding the QB class.

    Who will be this year's Mendoza? At this point last year he was a guy that people occasionally brought up as a sleeper, then he exploded onto the national stage.

    Who knows? If it happens at all, it will start to unfold by mid October.

    Remember the name Darian Mensah, he might be the guy who shoots up the draft like Francisco Mendoza last year.

    Also remember you heard about him here first... ?

    Like Mensah (heading to the U), Sam Leavitt is another QB heading to a place like LSU that can quickly spoil a passer with a lot of elite talent on the perimeter to help him shine. If he can stay healthy for an entire season - we've aleady seen what a guy like Fernando Mendoza accomplished moving from a program at Cal to Indiana.

    He played at Tennessee when Ohio State ran all over them in the playoffs after the 2024 regular season. The Volunteer fans talked a lot of shit about taking over the Shoe, their players walked out of the tunnel during warmups shirtless in the freezing night weather, then they got absolutely trucked. Iamaleava got hit so hard when he tried to leave the pocket that his helmet got cracked, then he started demanding a ton of NIL money and left for UCLA of all places.

    I'm not Flugs, nor do I play him on TV, but I'm still intrigued by Lenorris Sellers of South Carolina. I love his measurables. Big arm, can run, built like a brick shithouse... but good lord, his offense was hooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibbbbbbbbbbbbbbble last season. Bad scheme, bad OLine, just bad. I'm kind of shocked he didn't leave and go to Miami or somewhere that loves them some one-year rental transfer QBs.

    I suppose I'm solidly in the Moore camp, but I don't love any specific QB as of today. McShay didn't even rank the kid at OK State? Weird. Drew Mestamaker is definitely someone I'm keeping an eye on this season, but he doesn't have to come out. He's a redshirt sophomore, who didn't even start at QB his senior year at high school.

    Very good point about the offense. The following cut and paste shows there was NO running game capable of providing a balanced prong of attack to keep defensive fronts out of pin their ears back mode. Sellers appears to be a great athlete with a good frame. I haven't seen enough of him to know if he has an NFL transferable processor in his dome or not. Let's hope they give him a better offense to work with this year so he can have a fair audition in 2026.

    The Rams lost their opening day game to the 49'ers. And Myles Garrett's name did not appear on the Stat Sheet.

    True. On top of that, Aaron Donald didn't want to play yet. Now why was that significant? It was easy for Brock Purdy to step up in the pocket; so Trent Williams could continue to escort the sack-free/tackle-free Myles Garrett behind & beyond the well protected passer all night.
