MVP: Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills Offensive Player of the Year: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers Defensive Player of the Year: T.J. Watt, OLB, Pittsburgh Steelers Offensive Rookie of the Year: Mac Jones, QB, New England Patriots / Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars Defensive Rookie of the Year: Micah Parsons, LB, Dallas Cowboys Comeback Player of the Year: Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants Coach of the Year: Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/32161908/nfl-execs-pick-award-winners-2021-predicting-mvp-top-rookies-player-year-honors-comeback-stars-breakouts-more My take: I think Burns has a legitimate chance to be DPOY. Rhule could win coach of the year if he makes the playoffs and resurrects Darnold's career. Darnold or CMC could win comeback player of the year

Last week he said either DJ or Zylstra. I think CMC doesn't make sense.

I thought Saunders did a good job, but I guess he's not worth one of those TE roster spots.

Rhule's playing with fire

Doesn’t matter, needs to earn his stripes anyway

Disappointing…I thought Fitt would surely sign him

I don’t have a problem with checkdowns if they’re the best or only option. Problem with Teddy is he would opt foe the checkdown even when he had time and options down field.

Good post. We're concerned about the OL but also encouraged that Darnold will have plenty of weapons to throw to down field and the best checkdown option in the NFL - Christian McCaffrey.

She was really good, why couldn't ESPN hire her to replace David Newton?!

Line is -5 Panthers, I think we cover - 24 - 17 Darnold tosses 2 touchdowns, throws for 250 yards. CMC has 150 total yards from scrimmage Panthers defense dominates early, lets them come back a bit in garbage time. Wilson is sacked 5 times, intercepted once.

Yes I do

Ummm what? I think you misunderstood something

Silver lining and all. Let’s go big Deonte!

It’s an irrelevant statement. We’re in the second year of our rebuild, that’s a fact.

No it wouldn’t, as long as we go 8-9 or 9-8 and Darnold improves a lot as the season goes on then it’s something solid to build on and expect the playoffs next year. I would take that

One thing that worries me us they have plenty of tape of our offense and defense and what Brady and Snow like to run in certain situations. I don’t think think we know anything about their playbook except for their personnel limitations. We should still win comfortably. I think we win 24-10.

Guess I am too late

If only Jets never happened because he has all the tools to be really good

Why don’t they just start Brown or Christensen???

Great to see someone believing in what Rhule is building here. Playoffs in just the second season, I will take it!

Our defense is fixing to eat, but I also think their defense will be much improved under Saleh.
