It is quite odd how so many younger football fans are only going to know Russ for his failed journeyman career. Richard Sherman has got to be laughing his ass off right now.

What I want to know who do we all think are going to be our top tanking teams for next season? Miami and NYJ are at the top of the list. Pittsburgh? Cleveland? So many teams this year look like they are going to be in desperate need for a QB at the next draft.

Wait... ate the Steelers even allowed to tank? I thought that was anathema to their MO especially with Art Roonie II

They brought in McCarthy to replace Tomlin. Shit on Tomlin as I do, he was able to drag some borderline practice squads to 9-8.

I don’t see McCarthy doing that, and it’d be fitting for their first season post Tomlin to be an immaculate Tank job. Or a Super Bowl win, either’s funny.

My money is on the Jets, Dolphins, Raiders, Titans, Vikings and Texans. I don't think CJ Stroud is that guy and that his playoff performance will continue on into next year.

As much as feel bad for Stroud and his regression as Bears fan I can't help but feel vindicated for arguments I had with other bears fans in the 2023 off-season. Alot of Bears fans were saying the bears should draft a QB with the number 1 pick and move on from Justin Fields right then.

I was arguing that it was a weak QB class that year and that next years was going to be much better, and they should sell the pick and give Fields a third year to prove it. Since whoever was wanting to move up to number 1 would probably not be great that season, Bears would likely end up with a high pick in 2024 and they could either move on from Fields or keep him if he really improved, it only being his third year, and take another blue chip player to help him out even more.

After Strouds rookie year I was definitely thinking I was maybe wrong, but the 2 years since have made me think that nah I was right on the money with that one.

Remains to be seen if Caleb Williams was the right guy to take in 2024, but CJ in 2023 was for sure not the answer.

Amazing that the Cardinals are so terminally inconsequential they're even left off tanking lists. May I remind you they are eating a massive dead cap hit after cutting their franchise QB, spent the #3 overall pick on a RB who will get killed behind their swiss cheese offensive line, and are starting basically nobody you've ever heard of on defense besides Budda Baker and Sean Murphy Bunting in their respective dotage?

I can't think of another sports ownership team that's been as historically incompetent as the Bidwells and their management of the Cardinals. Even the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates, as awful as they are, have been shit franchises for a mere 30-odd years. The Cardinals have been mostly bad going back to World War II.

They also have a pretty tough schedule. Miami at least gets to play the Jets twice.

There are six easy losses just from their divisional games, plus they're up against the NFC East and AFC West this year, and the AFC West looks like it's finally developed past being Patrick Mahomes' personal whipping boys. They might have the easiest tanking schedule of all the teams mentioned.
 
I have interest in running a KiwiFarms fantasy football league for this upcoming season. I’m only really interested in playing for money, as I think that keeps the league more engaged by having something at stake. Nothing super high stakes, maybe even a buy-in as low as $5. If anyone of you are interested, feel free to react to this or reply. I’ll keep a running list of names for the next couple weeks and then go from there.

Hell yeah, I'm interested. Never done one before so don't know how it works exactly, but i'm planning on doing one with the guys at work this year too so I would very much like the practice

Cool man. When the time gets a little closer we can break everything down for you. All in all it’s a pretty simple game I feel. I’m writing everyone’s name down and I’ll reach out to everyone individually in a few weeks to confirm interest and finalize the size of the league. Right now I’m leaning towards capping the size of the league at 12 teams (fairly standard) but if there’s overwhelming interest we can try 14 or 16 teams total.

With Watson coming off IR this year, do y'all think he has any chance of playing? Usually I wouldn't even entertain the idea of a rapist under center, but it is the Browns, and it's not like Shaduer is playing any better than he would

Last year of his contract, pretty sure his shoulder is permacooked, hasn't played in a long time, can't even really flip him at the trade deadline if he plays well because he's toxic.

It's the Browns so yeah there's a good chance.

The Raiders have a vastly better roster than a year ago, but I think they are still a year out from being good and the Chargers have a habit of Chargering. I fully expect the Broncos go 2-0 against the Chiefs again this year, especially if they get an early season matchup.

Considering that reports say that he is primed to be the QB1, then I think he will play. Not because of skill, but because the owner paid him all that money and doesn't want to have him just sit behind Shedeur even if it is the last year of his deal

This is the AFC North we're talking about. The same conference that gave us female advocates like Big Ben and Justin Tucker.

Deshaun Watson has the inside track to be the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback in 2026 over Shedeur Sanders, sources told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot.

Watson and Sanders both attended Cleveland's voluntary minicamp last week, marking the beginning of a two-man quarterback competition after the club hired Todd Monken as head coach this year.

The two passers split starting reps on Day 1 of the Browns' voluntary minicamp, but Watson took most of the main reps on the second day, including in the red zone and two-minute drill, sources told Cabot.


Monken reportedly hopes to name his QB1 by the end of the Browns' mandatory minicamp, which takes place June 9-11.

Watson has 72 NFL starts under his belt but missed the entire 2025 season due to an Achilles injury. Cleveland mostly struggled at QB last year and started three different passers, including Sanders, who made seven starts as a fifth-round rookie. The 24-year-old averaged only 175 passing yards per game while completing 56.6% of his passes for seven touchdowns against 10 interceptions.

Watson, 30, earned three Pro Bowl berths in four seasons as a member of the Houston Texans to start his NFL career. However, he hasn't replicated that success in Cleveland, ranking 55th in EPA/play among quarterbacks from 2022-24, according to rbsdm.com.

Cleveland's QB depth chart also includes Dillon Gabriel and sixth-round rookie Taylen Green.

Deshaun Watson somehow only being 30 years old is a surprise to me. It feels like that guy has been around an eternity with how much he's talked about.
And he fucking sucked with the Browns even when he was healthy, there's no point in playing him. Start Sanders, and if he sucks (likely) go with Gabriel. Nobody wants to watch Watson.
 
It’s quite a funny run of events for the Browns with Watson. He hasn’t played a good stretch of football with the Browns since signing there, and I remember playing Elden Ring when it came out and listening to Urinating Tree break the news. That feels like an eternity ago now. Like the Browns, he feels cursed.
