If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Look, I love Jameis like a play cousin. 2013 was my first year at FSU and was probably the greatest year of my life. I was hitting all kinds of women, had finally reached the halls of the school I was a lifelong fan of, and we won the national championship :wow:. What a time to be alive :ohlawd:. I went to every home game that year, and I’m eternally grateful for that natty.

All in all, Jameis is wildly successful. He’s made multi-generational money, he’ll be able to shift into coaching or broadcasting pretty easily, and he is generally beloved. I could see him being a politician or something one day.

With that being said—at some point in his life—Jameis is going to look back on his football career and think, “What if?” He’s going to look back at his playing days and see he could’ve been wayyyyyyy more than a guy going viral for being funny. Jameis could have been the best black QB of all-time. I really believe that.

He never found that happy medium between being aggressive and protecting the ball. That comes from really understanding what’s happening before it even happens. It’s knowing where defenders are going to be before they are even there. It’s knowing when there’s going to be a chance for a chunk play because you know the defense so well, and the offense equally well. You don’t have to force the ball. You know exactly where the open guy will be based on the formation, playcall, defensive tendencies, coordinator tendencies, etc. Ultimately, it’s a byproduct of EXTREME preparation.

I wish he had really dedicated himself to the technical aspect of the game. This isn’t to say Jameis doesn’t have a high football IQ. You basically have to play quarterback in the NFL. With that being said, there’s a hierarchy. Jameis needed to be in that top tier in terms of X’s and O’s.

Bills can beat anyone, anywhere, any time. And with all the respect and then some to Lamar, Josh is probably your MVP.

Not concerned about Mahomes/KC...unless it's a high ankle sprain. Steph can tell you how tricky those are.

Seeing rumors here and there about McDaniel. Still don't think he's in any trouble, but he needs the playoffs next season.

I feel bad for the Colts' fanbase. That team should be relevant and consistently at least in the postseason conversation.

Vikings must be the most overlooked 11-2 team ever. All the NFC talk is Lions, Eagles, Packers, even Rams. Sleep on 'em at your own risk. (That said, tonight isn't a gimme, especially v. a division rival.)

That Packer's roster is as solid as any team in the NFL on both sides of the ball. They're gonna go as far as Love takes them.

Detroit is going to lose in the playoffs and Campbell's game management is going to be the cause of it.

Purdy's physical limitations are glaring when he's not quarterbacking a stacked team.

Mayo is most likely gonna get a second year, but the team has regressed and he throws everyone around him under the bus. It's an awful look.

If the Jets were smart(they’re not) they would use Rodgers/Adams putting up meaningless numbers in December and try to finesse a team to trade for them this offseason.

What they are going to do though is argue that they “finished strong” and they just got unlucky this year :mjlol:
