Hey Nick. Caleb over Love is bulletin board material. Chatted that screenshot to all the Packer players

[@g.d.graham2446]

For the most part, especially when compared to his terrible "Mahomes Mountain" QB rankings, I agreed with the ranking minus a few exceptions (Disclaimer upfront; I'm a Packers fan): 1. Raiders should at least be a tier or two higher, because Gardner Minshew was fine last season, they have a solid defense, and their coaching should be MUCH better than last season. 2. Bucaneers should be higher for the reasons already stated 3. Bears should be at least below the Packers and Lions (though above the Vikings due to their other positional upgrades), since they haven't exactly had a great track record with coaching or QB development in the past few decades, alongside Brou's reasoning 4. Maybe it's just me being impressed by how the Browns held up despite all of their injuries, but why in the world are the Browns ranked SO FAR below the Bengals and Steelers? Still an awesome sports show, regardless, as your guy's chemistry is amazing 👏 - a recent subscriber in the postseason

The panthers qb thing is outrageous give the kid a chance 😂

[@mattcarberry368]

i mean, there's a difference between looking like a young rookie QB who just needs to be built around, and looking completely lost and over your head and physically outmatched in every way like Bryce did lol it's not just that the Panthers were bad and that's why he struggled, it's also that he was legitimately bad and that's *part* of the reason why the Panthers were so much worse than they were the season before where they actually looked semi-competent at times (once Rhule was gone lol) ... Bryce was supposed to be this elite "processor" and he struggled with vanilla concepts, not to mention he very often can't even throw a quick out with proper velocity.... small body, soft arm, didn't process much at all.... he'll still get his chance but there's no way you can watch this guy play and not go😬😬😬😬😬lol the dude literally looks like Eddy Piniero under center

Bro whats going on with Nick and his crush on Caleb. These are still the bears we're talking about, slow it down buddy

[@dswanny]

Nick has the QB evulation skills of a turnip, so when he spots a 'cant't miss' prospect he hypes them into the stratsophere so that he looks smarter when they succeed and can say that nobody believed in that prospect like he did. It doesn't always work out, like with Trevor Lawrence. It also helps that Caleb’s play style does resemble Mahomes and we all know how much Nick adores him.

Bo played 5 seasons with the Covid gap year exemption, of course his numbers are higher than 3 year players.

[@codyb.3015]

Because he threw far more screens and short passes than any of the other prospects. If scouting was just looking at numbers, drafting would be really easy. And the dude was drafted 12th overall, no need to act like he didn't get taken seriously to some extent. Probably would have been a 2nd rounder if Denver had one, but he still is treated like a potential starting quarterback.

A lot of questions surrounding just how capable Deshaun Watson really is when it comes to winning come post season. His health is also a question mark.

​@@edwardflores7108last year proved his health didn't matter they won 11 games with 5 different QBs. And even as bad as deshaun has looked at times he's 8-4 as a starter in Cleveland. His last 3 full starts (2 of which on a broken shoulder) he was 66/97 (68%) 720 yards 5TD 1INT 102 passer rating. He was improving Doesn't even include the fact the roster is loaded and stacked literally everywhere. Where is the hole in the browns roster?

[@edwardflores7108]

@@user-vp1rl8sk2w The hole in the Browns roster is at quarterback. Deshaun Watson gets paid too much money to look as bad or as average as he's looked for the majority of his time in Cleveland. Are the Browns a good team? Sure, but can Deshaun win them a Super Bowl? Watson's entire career says no. He has one playoff win in the post season and he's either hurt or trying desperately to play at the level he was at in Houston. In the AFC were the Chiefs and the best quarterbacks reside in, Watson doesn't measure up. Can that change in the future? It's definitely possible but for now it's completely fair to doubt the Browns when they have question marks at the most important position.

[@jameswillison1527]

@@edwardflores7108it seems to me you completely talked passed his comment. They won without Watson, and with him they are 8-4, and his last 3 full games were pretty darn good. If all you can say, as your comment did, they can’t have deep playoff success, then putting them as low as they are is still unjustified, which was the whole point of the OP.

[@edwardflores7108]

​@@jameswillison1527 With Watson, the Browns have very little to show for the money and the draft capital they gave up to aquire him. They have no post season wins or division titles and Watson has been mediocre without even a single pro bowl to his name. The Browns had a winning record with or without Deshaun last year. They are a good team and could win a lot of regular season games with a variety of average to below average QBs. The reason why pundits are low on the Browns is because no one really expects Watson to win them anything. The guy is only getting older, more injury prone and is years away from playing a full seasons worth of good football. He's inconsistent and it's hard to argue that the Browns would have not been better going in a different direction when it comes at the quarterback position. Up to this moment the Watson trade has been a an abject failure for the Browns and a boon to the Texans. It's allowed Houston to rapidly build their roster while the Browns are still looking to win their division and make a deep post season run. I think most people would acknowledge the Browns as having one of the best rosters in football but until they start having some semblance of success in the post season, most will just continue to write them off. Watson is under a lot of pressure next year to live up to his fully guaranteed contract, stay healthy and play to a high level given the talent placed around him. The Browns have a great roster and a two time couch of the year at the helm, so why do the Browns not get more respect from the national media? The answer is Deshaun Watson. Is it unjustified? Maybe it is, but it's not entirely without merit.

@@milliworkz7069 it is exactly linear lol instead of working from 0 wins like every team he’s starting from the 7 from last year. I don’t have any issues with that logic but it was his argument and he then went against his own argument. It’s like the bears are exempt from falling backwards like the other teams he named

[@milliworkz7069]

@@Unofficial_Bob linear is defined by: progressing from one stage to another in a single series of steps; sequential. a singler step. His argument is the bears have made more than a single step up if you follow basic logic bird brain.. he isn't arguing the bears make an appearance he's quite clear he thinks they could be a problem not just a hopefully one playoff win team..

[@Im_On_Pluto]

Nick is so scared of the Texans and I love it ! 🤣

[@t4k3ntf]

Seahawks below chargers and Vikings is actually wild

[@magicdolphin8436]

Progression isn’t linear, except in the NFC North. Your stock goes up, hits a peak, then it collapses. Rinse and repeat and hopefully you get a SB out of it

[@rjclark2264]

Not the Puddle of Mudd tshirt 😂

[@mrrequis3078]

Rams and the bears that high is HORRENDOUS.

[@muchomacho9961]

Puddle of Mud went to Park Hill HS in Kansas City.

[@murphyc15]

The Bears should be on the "Striving for Above Average" tier at best

[@Ozzziee]

Just because the packers didn’t have two flashy top 10 picks doesn’t mean they didn’t improve their roster on multiple levels. You just have to pay attention.

[@Nenshoken]

Bryce Young receipts will be legendary

[@ThePinnacleSFA]

im drinking the hopium too, brother

[@R17759]

The Panthers traded their best player to draft the wrong QB because their crazy owner liked him. Good luck.

[@jesseorourke1317]

I understand the progression is not linear tier for Green Bay in the Texans, Detroit's progression has been pretty obvious in the past three seasons. Those two were surprises last year, not Detroit.

[@acandela1294]

I agree. That's the most stable one for me. Lions should be great this year and could battle for 1 seed. It's crazy there is a non zero chance in which the lions and jets could meet in the Superbowl 💀

[@altonsimpkins8302]

He did say 1/3 or 2/3 might regress, my guess is the packers

[@stephenoludipe3611]

Can’t wait for the Bryce young receipts to cash

[@joechamberlain9685]

Brown’s disrespect is insane.

Lead singer of Puddle of Mud went to my high school. Park Hill

[@abdultaylor6571]

The Colts are definitely going to the playoffs. The question for the team is, will DM supplant MPJ as the number 1 option.

[@jeradlarkey390]

As a Chiefs fan, Raiders deserve more respect than that Nick... Raiders pose the greatest divisional threat to the Chiefs this year. Putting them below the Chargers is a joke, putting them below the Broncos is Ludacris.

[@dmo5207]

Man I love this show

[@brendenhay3531]

Who was wearing the Puddle of Mudd concert t shirt lmao

[@cuttysark78jj]

My Bears finally getting some love and the haters come out in full force😂

[@user-lz7dq9xh8q]

although Nick is very intelligent about football... he seems like a Sith Lord of the NFL commentators!

[@stevegoldson67]

Everyone’s talking about nicks weird obsession with the bears, but I’m wondering about his weird obsession with the Rams. Their only impressive win in their 6-1 stretch was against CLE.

[@alexdrollinger1588]

For the first time I agree

[@SMNSWPS]

Brou has faith in Brock Purdy that couldnt lead a go ahead TD in the Super Bowl but not Matthew Stafford?!🤔

[@paulmayer8654]

Well…one made the Super Bowl, and the other got knocked out in the 1st round, right? Outside of the year the Rams won, Stafford has lost every playoff game he played in. Even with the Super Bowl season, he’s still under .500 in the playoffs 3-4. Purdy is 4-1.

[@citizensallianceofaustrali697]

I can see where Wildes is coming from with his take on the Bears. Last season they were only two games behind the Packers and he thinks the Bears recruits will make them a four win better team so he has doubled down with this list. What he forgets is both the Lions (they filled needs in the secondary in defence) and the Packers (a young group of players who play as a unit which means they should be improving from last season). This means that his conclusion that the Lions and Packers will not be as good or better than last year is wrong, although he is correct when he says that improvement in the NFL usually is not in a straight upward spiral.

[@northside4767]

At least there is finally some mild Ravens respect.

[@donovan4222]

Finally Nick properly respects Baltimore

[@carlos.4700]

Having the bengals in the same tier is lowkey disrespectful

[@jonmcintyre]

The Ravens are about to have the most terrifying backfield in the NFL. Will they hand it off to Henry? Will Lamar scramble? Crowd the box? No problem because our MVP QB is also an amazing passer. As a Chiefs fan, I have no idea how we beat them in the AFCCG. They were the better team, we just had better coaching and a better game plan.

[@griffins750]

At least he respects one bird team (cries in Eagles disrespect)

[@lakeozarkrei3767]

​@jonmcintyre 🤦‍♂️😅Dude just said that Lamars an 'amazing passer'!?🤣 And since you say your a Chiefs fan but don't know how the Chiefs beat em I'll help you out kid.... #15.

[@jonmcintyre]

@lakeozarkrei3767 actually we won not because of #15, but because the Ravens decided to step away from the run. And yeah, Lamar is a great passer. He also has great legs so people dismiss his arm talent. 3600 yards passing and you're gonna say he isn't good? Hope that helps, kid

[@themoneyman1752]

Cam Ward from Miami will be the #2 QB prospect next season dude is nasty

[@christophercrowder872]

Wow! A Puddle of Mud reference! Nice! Yes, Puddle of Mud is from Kansas City. It's too bad Wes couldn't handle the fame better. Hope he's healthy now.

[@user-uv9oy1qp5m]

I been from Chicago my whole life , all I got say is The Bears 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@cuttysark78jj]

You're not from Chicago. I call cap😂

[@jenniferaceste8823]

Da Bears! 🤣

[@g.d.graham2446]

As a Packers fan, this upcoming season should be fun, but I appreciate the "we're being overhyped" acknowledgement

[@agardo_8582]

Brou is always hating on stafford like his buddy rob parker 😂😂😂

[@gbuie]

ITS BACK AND SO GLORIOUS. THE NATIONAL TREASURE WILDES!!! Also I'm ashamed of myself bc I didn't know Puddle of Mudd was from my hometown KC either wtf

[@marcospinelli6367]

I don't think Broussard understood the assignment

[@joaquinveleta3159]

Nick saying that a Group Think is the reason the Chiefs are not Super Bowl favorites lol
