The conversation inevitably begins with Trevor Lawrence, but skips Zach Wilson and instead tends to continue with Trey Lance and Justin Fields. However, as the 2021 NFL season approaches, Zach Wilson and the Jets are trending upwards into fantasy relevance. That last sentence seems like a rich statement given the recent history of the Jets offense...

You may recall that Scottsdale resident Jim McMahon opened up in March about how marijuana has done "wonders" for him, both during and after his career as a quarterback in the National Football League. He also argued that the NFL shouldnt consider the use of marijuana a violation of league rules. "When a guy goes home at night and he cant sleep at night, why cant he just relax and have some cannabis and be able to sleep?" McMahon, whos best known for his years with the Chicago Bears but playe...

The Broncos’ draft grade would have been A++++ if they could have traded for Aaron Rodgers. The Broncos’ draft grade would have been A++ if Deshaun Watson hadn’t fallen off the edge of the earth and was traded to Denver. The Broncos’ draft grade would have been an A+ if they had chosen Justin Fields. The Broncos’ draft grade would have been A if they possessed one quarterback who was ranked in the top 30 in the NFL. George Paton’s first draft grade as commander-in-control would have...

Who will the New York Jets select in day two of the 2021 NFL Draft after landing Zach Wilson and Alijah Vera-Tucker on Day 1?

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- History says the Denver Broncos might want to hit pause this week if they are considering a quarterback in the first round of the NFL draft. The Broncos two Hall of Fame quarterbacks (John Elway and Peyton Manning) and four of their top five passing quarterbacks overall (Elway, Manning, Craig Morton and Jake Plummer) were not drafted by the team. In fact, the Broncos have not hit on one of their limited forays into finding a quarterback in the drafts opening round. Since the...

Seriously, why hasn’t Broncos Rod Smith sniffed the Hall of Fame? When you look at it, it’s kind of amazing he’s not more part of the conversation. Photo by Hyoung Chang/The Denver Post via Getty Images In the latest Something Something Broncos, fill-in host Chad McKnight and I break down just how ridiculous it is for less-qualified receivers to be considered for the Hall of Fame over Denver’s Rod Smith. With the retirement of Julian Edelman, Boston-twanged accents couldn’t wait to t...

First of all, they need to do a better job of surrounding him with competent talent and capable coaching than they did when Darnold started from 2018-20. Yes, Darnold might stink — or maybe he will thrive in Carolina — but the Jets didn’t exactly help him. So yeah, some of Wilson’s success (or l...
