Who would have thought that the Chicago Bears would be in this position.

JJ McCarthy’s pseudo-rookie season has been an absolute nightmare. While the Minnesota Vikings quarterback had his moments this year, McCarthy’s 2025 season has been more bad than good.

Aaron Rodgers is tough as nails. Against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback took a hard hit after taking a sack.

The Atlanta Falcons are unfortunately going back to square one. They had a messy 2024 season, signing QB Kirk Cousins to a massive contract and then drafting QB Michael Penix Jr. in the first round of the draft. At the time, the logic seemed to be that Cousins would be the starter now, and Penix […]

Josh Allen might be the most prolific running quarterback in today’s NFL.

There’s trouble in paradise for the New York Knicks. Coming into their game against the Miami Heat, they were already without star point guard Jalen Brunson.
