Quarterback After finishing the 2014 season tied for the worst record in the league at just 2-14, the Buccaneers took a big step forward in 2015, winning 6 games. It wasn’t a great season, but it certainly gives them a lot of hope for the future. The offense was easily…

Quarterback Drew Brees has gotten lost in the discussion about the top quarterbacks in the NFL over the past 2 seasons, with guys like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Carson Palmer, etc getting most of the attention, but Brees has been as good as any…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback Many thought Cardinals’ quarterback Carson Palmer was done at this point last year. He had graded out above average in each of the last 6 seasons, but was coming off of the 2nd torn ACL of his career and going into his age 36 season, so the odds were…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings 2016 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Minnesota Vikings finished the 2013 season 5-10-1 and among the worst teams in the NFL. However, it’s been a steady climb for them over the past 2 seasons, culminating with a 2015 NFC North title, on the strength of an 11-5 record. Easily the two biggest reasons for…
