NFL QB Rankings, NFL Coverage 101 + NFC South Predictions That Could Age Horribly
1w ago01:16:46Tap to summarizeWe kicked off our division breakdown series with a deep dive into the NFC South, breaking down the Falcons, Buccaneers, Saints, and Panthers through offseason moves, QB situations, ceilings, floors, and bold predictions for the final standings. We also introduced an NFL 101 segment focused on coverage shells, simplifying Cover 1, Cover 2, Cover 3, and Cover 4 while explaining what each defense is designed to stop and where offenses can attack them. The main event was our Top 10 QB Rankings, where we revealed our lists tier by tier and debated everything from elite franchise quarterbacks to high ceiling wild cards, including which players are being overrated, which young QBs are rising fastest, and how much surrounding talent should actually impact the rankings. We wrapped up the episode with another competitive edition of Guess That Number, making this one of our most balanced episodes yet, combining analysis, education, debate, and pure football fun.

We closed things out with one bold prediction each for the upcoming season, planting our flags now so the receipts can either celebrate us or haunt us later.
Transcribe →The QB Industrial Revolution in a League That Won’t Stop Moving: Schedule Drops & Global Games
3w ago01:00:49Tap to summarizeThis week on the show we announced our YouTube and social channels going live, then jumped into the NFL schedule release with its biggest primetime matchups, rivalries, and early storylines to watch. From there we tackled the league’s biggest shift right now: rookie quarterbacks are playing earlier and succeeding faster than ever. We broke down the data behind the trend, then explored what’s driving it, from college systems producing more pro ready QBs, to the transfer portal and COVID eligibility changes, to NFL teams simplifying schemes and building around quarterbacks instead of forcing them to adapt. We also looked at how drafting and development philosophy has shifted toward processing and readiness, why rookie contracts are speeding up decisions, and closed with the rising “QB revival” trend featuring players like Mayfield, Darnold, and Daniel Jones, asking whether this is true evolution or just system driven success.

Mar 2901:14:26Tap to summarizeThis week on Ari SQRD, we went full chaos mode in the best way possible. The NFL offseason has officially lost its mind, and we’re here for every second of it. We’re talking about the most trades we’ve ever seen in a single offseason and what that means for how teams are building and rebuilding in real time. Blink and your roster is outdated. We had to dive into the record breaking deal for JSN and what it signals not just for him but for the entire wide receiver market. Reset the clock reset the price tags reset everything. Then came the big question after their Super Bowl win did the Seattle Seahawks lose too many key pieces It’s one of those situations where a championship roster can quickly start to look very different and we break down whether this is just the cost of winning or a move that could come back to haunt them. Speaking of chaos the San Francisco 49ers made major moves at wide receiver with Ricky Pearsall as the only returning piece from last year’s group but then went out and signed Mike Evans adding a proven elite weapon to the mix and we break down what this means for their offense and whether this is bold strategy or risky business. We also zoomed out and asked the bigger questions who’s had the most interesting offseason so far which team has actually improved the most not just won headlines and how free agency has completely flipped the way we should be thinking about the draft. And of course we wrapped things up by looking at the NFC North and asking who the real favorite is and whether it might be the best division in football right now. This episode is packed with takes debates and a whole lot of wait what just happened energy and if you’re trying to make sense of this wild offseason or just want to stay ahead of it this is one you don’t want to miss.
