We'll say it - The NFL has a QB problem and expectations are wild. We’re tackling it head-on with a new mailbag that answers your DMs.
Benches and pivots first: Joe Flacco sits in Cleveland, Dillon Gabriel gets the nod over Shedeur Sanders—was that always the plan? And did Shedeur passing on the Ravens age differently now that Lamar is banged up?
Then the league’s Europe push: more overseas games than ever. Smart growth or a slow bleed on practice time, travel legs, and QB play?
Jets loop (why the same teams stay bad). Dolphins without Tyreek Hill (why the offense changes overnight). Bengals and the real reason Burrow keeps getting hit (hi, offensive line), plus why a Euro footprint could make that worse.
Snapshot of divisional leaders, AFC playoff odds (hello, Steelers), and why Aaron Rodgers feels fine even if the box score doesn’t.
We’ll also roast those team “brainrot” promo vids (looking at you, Buffalo).
