Happy midweek, everyone! Cody Benjamin brings insights about the latest happenings in the NFL.
1. Most overrated and underrated QBs
Where do the Cowboys fit?
Quarterbacks are central to the NFL discussions. Which players might be overhyped, and who deserves more acknowledgment?
- Overrated: Dak Prescott (Cowboys) - While he’s not a bad player, his position as a starter for nearly a decade and seven playoff appearances doesn’t justify the hype considering the Cowboys’ historical struggles in the postseason.
- Underrated: Jalen Hurts (Eagles) - Surprisingly overlooked despite being the reigning Super Bowl MVP. His performances have been key in pivotal games.
2. Steelers’ Offensive Transformation
Pittsburgh isn’t just trading for Aaron Rodgers; they revamped their offense, adding signs of hope and fresh talent. Fans should look for how these changes will play out during the season.
3. Projecting Rookie WR Impact
Many talented wide receivers entered the NFL this spring, notably Travis Hunter, who ranks high among rookie expectations, especially post-draft.
4. Potential 18-Game Season Delay
While the league might aim to expand the season, formal discussions won’t commence until 2026, with changes not expected before 2028.
5. Eagles’ Historic 2024 Season
The former Super Bowl champs are regarded as one of the greatest teams in history, despite pulling back on scoring in leading games.
6. Cowher Expects Full Trust in Rodgers
Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher advocates that Pittsburgh should give Aaron Rodgers full control of the offense now that they have acquired him.
