Quarterback The Cardinals are just a season removed from a post-season appearance, securing a wild card spot in 2021 with a final record of 11-6. However, they were never as good as their record suggested that year, benefiting significantly from a +12 turnover margin (4th best in the NFL), which…

Quarterback Last off-season, the Seahawks traded franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos after a decade in Seattle, seeming to signal the start of a full rebuild, with the Seahawks receiving first and second round picks in each of the next two years from Denver, as well as a trio…

Quarterback Last off-season, the Falcons ended the Matt Ryan era after 15 seasons, shipping the veteran to the Colts for a third round pick. It seemed to be the start of a full on rebuild, with the Falcons coming off 5 straight seasons in NFL purgatory, winning between 4-10 games,…

Quarterback Two off-seasons ago, the Saints lost quarterback Drew Brees to retirement, ending an era of Hall of Fame caliber quarterback play under center.

Quarterback The Cam Newton era in Carolina was relatively successful, but it came to a premature end when Newton suffered multiple injuries during the 2018 and 2019 seasons and the Panthers have struggled as much as any team in the league at the quarterback position since then. Newton was first…

Quarterback Midway through the 2022 season, the Jaguars sat at just 2-6 and, at first glance, it seemed like more of the same for a team that had received back-to-back #1 overall picks following 1-15 and 3-14 finishes in the prior two seasons. However, the Jaguars played better than their…

Quarterback The Texans have been the worst team in the NFL over the past three seasons, with records of 4-12, 4-13, and 3-13-1, collapsing after years of failed attempts to go all in for a Super Bowl, leaving them with just one first round pick and just two top-50 picks…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans 2023 NFL Season Preview
Quarterback The Titans finished the 2021 season with a 12-5 record, giving them the #1 seed in the AFC, but they went 6-2 in one-score games and finished just 20th in DVOA, so it seemed likely they would regress significantly in 2022, especially given the key players they lost last…

Quarterback For years, the Colts had consistent high level quarterback play. They selected Peyton Manning #1 overall in 1998 and he started every game through 2010, before a 2011 neck injury knocked him out for the year, tanking the Colts and allowing them to select Andrew Luck with the #1…
