Lamar speaks about his injury

1/13/2023

Lamar Jackson finally broke his silence to address his knee issue that's been plaguing him all season.

Unwritten in this tweet is that Jackson doesn't sound like he'll be back anytime should, should the Baltimore Ravens advance to the next round.

Jackson was not present at Ravens practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley appears to be in line to be the starter for Baltimore this weekend; he threw during Thursday's session, something he didn't do last week.

Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee

When I think of Joe Burrow, I think of one word: confidence. Confidence can sometimes be mistaken for arrogance, the vibe Burrow sometimes gives off (primarily to opposing fans). However, Burrow says you need to be a little arrogant sometimes. "You can't go out there scared in the moment. You have to be a little arrogant to go out there in that moment and make plays you need to make. In those moments is where I kind of make my best plays."

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy has had a storybook start to his rookie year - coming in for Jimmy Garoppolo when he broke his foot and being able to keep it rolling despite never playing in the NFL before. Purdy says he's not thinking about that and is focused on their next opponent, knowing they'll go home if they don't win. "Yes, it's the playoffs, but for myself, I've got to do my job. I'm not trying to think about this storybook ending or anything like that."
- Brock Purdy was named the NFL offensive rookie of the month for the month of December.

As we all assumed, the Las Vegas Raiders will begin looking at trade options for quarterback Derek Carr. The team is under a time crunch, as Carr is owed a lump sum of $40.4 million if he's still on the team on February 15th. Another thing to keep in mind - Carr has a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning he'll have to approve the team and location before being traded. Jim Irsay is salivating at the mouth.

Sources: The #Raiders will begin the process of evaluating the trade market for QB Derek Carr, as they prepare for a decision on their QB for the future.

No tua Tagovailoa for Dolphins this weekend

1/12/2023

With Tua Tagovailoa remaining in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Miami Dolphins are preparing to start rookie QB Skylar Thompson in the Wild Card round against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike McDaniel remains mum on Tagovailoa's status after suffering a series of concussions this season, most recently on Christmas Day. Prayers up to Thompson, who faces a tough Buffalo defense this weekend. ??

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said they're planning for Skylar Thompson to start at QB on Sunday in Buffalo.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was not at practice on Wednesday, putting his status for the Wild Card round in doubt. Backup Tyler Huntley was not throwing at practice, which drove the team to start Anthony Brown against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. So it's a real possibility we could see the same this week. And that's not exactly a good thing.
- Huntley was listed as a limited participant.

Still no Lamar Jackson (knee) at practice, and Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) was mostly going through the motions in warmups. Didn’t see him attempt a pass.

Josh Allen remains on the injury report with ankle and elbow injuries, but participated in full.

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a shaky performance in Week 18 and hoping to turn things around in time for Wild Card Weekend. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones says he's not concerned about Dak Prescott. "It's in Dak's DNA not to turn the ball over. I have all the confidence in the world that he, as a player, has all the right balance of confidence or all the right balance of aggressiveness as it pertains to a turnover." Umm. Ok?

Trevor Lawrence was limited on Wednesday, with his lingering toe injury. Lawrence has not missed any games.

The Atlanta Falcons started two different quarterbacks in 2022, veteran Marcus Mariota and rookie Desmond Ridder. The team will have a decision to make at the position this upcoming off-season. While it seems likely, they cut Mariota; they will have to decide if they want to roll with Ridder, draft another QB if they don't like what they saw from Ridder, or bring in a veteran QB. Head coach Arthur Smith said they had yet to make any decisions as of right now. "There will be conversations. Nothing to update now."

Brock Purdy keeps Niners rolling to win NFC West

12/16/2022

Its not easy to play in Seattle and all eyes were on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy finished the first quarter 9-for-9 as the Niners lead the Seahawks 7-0.

The cherry on top was this 28-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle.

----

The 49ers went on to beat Seattle, 21-13, clinching the division title.

Purdy was efficient in his first road start, completing 17-of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

more Qb news:

The Cincinnati Bengals are playing Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, so people will be comparing the two quarterbacks. Joe Burrow doesn't have time for that, though. "I don't pay attention to it. He's Tom, and I'm Joe. I really just think that I play the game my own way."

Desmond Ridder is the new starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and he's giving all the credit to the team for preparing him, even though he's a rookie. "I'm prepared for this. This is what they've been preparing me for. They didn't want to baby me. It means going about the game plan how a 12-year vet, an eight-year vet, whatever it may be, would."

Despite having a talented roster, the Las Vegas Raiders are about to miss the playoffs again. And on top of that, it's looking like quarterback Derek Carr may be on the move this offseason. Carr says he doesn't think about his future during the season (yeah, right). "I've always tried my best to - as I've gotten older in my career - just eliminate all of those things."

The Tennessee Titans have lost three straight and fired their general manager. But they aren't dead yet. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill acknowledged that they have to turn things around fast. "Everything we want is still right in front of us. You want to get hot at the right time. This is the end of the year. This is the point where we want to start getting hot as the season finishes."

Lamar Jackson did not practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley practiced in full.
- John Harbaugh said Huntley cleared concussion protocol on Thursday, but did not name him the starter for Saturday's game. (Hint: He'll likely be the starter.)
- Jackson was officially ruled out for Saturday's game. Huntley has no injury designation.
- Cleveland Browns defender Myles Garrett had some high praise for Huntley.

Trevor Lawrence's emergence is upon us, and he says he's focused on playing this way moving forward and, of course, proving the haters wrong. "Honestly, I have a little bit more of a chip on my shoulder now just because of the last year and a half. I don't really forget what's been said and what people have written. Now, you see people change their mind after a couple weeks."
- Lawrence returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant.

Panthers release Baker Mayfield

12/6/2022

The Carolina Panthers are ending the Baker Mayfield experiment. Mayfield asked the team for his release on Monday morning, and the team promptly granted it. Sam Darnold appears to be the clear-cut starter from now on, with PJ Walker in the wings. Mayfield was set to become a free agent in 2023, so there is no sense in keeping him around.

The Cleveland Browns traded Mayfield to the Panthers for a 2024 conditional fifth-round pick and a salary agreement after acquiring alleged predator Deshaun Watson.

As for a new home, the top choice obviously points to the San Francisco 49ers, having lost starter Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday to a broken foot. Other teams who could be interested (in my opinion) who could use a quarterback include Houston, New England, Indianapolis, New Orleans, or the Los Angeles Rams.

Sources: The #Panthers are expected to release QB Baker Mayfield. He'll hit waivers when it's finalized later today.

more Qb news:

Joe Burrow went 25-for-31, 286 yards, and two touchdowns on Sunday, resulting in a big "fuck you" win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Although he started the 2022 season a little shaky, Burrow and company are putting things together at precisely the right time. Head coach Zac Taylor said after the game, "He's playing at the level we need for him to lead us to be confident that we can go win every game we play."
- On his side of things, Patrick Mahomes gave total credit to Cincinnati. "First off, they have a great quarterback - a guy that's won a lot of football games...They're well coached, have a good defense, and at the end of the day, they've executed at a higher level in critical situations."

The worst news of the day by far came with the loss of Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday, as he left the game with a broken foot. When asked what the loss will mean to the San Francisco 49ers from now on, running back Christian McCaffrey said, "It's brutal. I haven't been around a long time here, but I can't say enough good things about him... from a leadership standpoint, from the way he operates, his attitude on a daily basis."

Lamar Jackson left Sunday's game with a knee injury, leading Tyler Huntley to get the win (sort of) for the Baltimore Ravens. And it seems like he will have to do it again, at least for next week. Tight end Mark Andrews spoke about Huntley's poise and preparation for going into the starting role. "He was acting like he's been there before, which he has. So, just so much love and respect for his game and what he's able to do."
- The Baltimore Ravens signed Brett Hundley to their practice squad, with Lamar Jackson's injury looming.
- John Harbaugh told reporters on Monday that Jackson is unlikely to play in Week 14 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.

#Ravens coach John Harbaugh said QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is unlikely to play Sunday vs. the #Steelers: "I would say it's kind of week to week. ... It's probably less likely for this week, but it's not impossible. And then after that it'll become more and more likely."

It turns out the Jacksonville Jaguars weren't able to build off last week's game-winning drive against the Ravens. Instead, the Jags made Jared Goff look like Joe Montana. On the loss, Trevor Lawrence said: "I mean, that's the word to describe it; it's embarrassing. Everybody in that locker room feels that way too. I mean, this is a playoff game for us, and we go out there and laid down."

Robert Saleh said Mike White will start again in Week 14 for the New York Jets. Joe Flacco will be the backup and Zach Wilson will be inactive.

John Wolford was estimated as a non-participant in practice on Monday.

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals face off this week, a meeting of two of the best young quarterbacks in the league in Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd thinks it'll be a classic rivalry. "It's going to be a quarterback fight. I look at it like Manning and Brady. You can't stop them. It comes down to whoever excels and takes advantage of their opportunities in drives and scores points."

Jalen Hurts was named the NFC offensive player of the week for Week 12.

Kyler Murray still not quite ready to go

11/23/2022

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been dealing with a hamstring injury for a couple of weeks, missing two games so far. Murray reportedly originally injured his hamstring at the end of October. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said on Tuesday that while Murray has made some progress, he's not quite ready to return to the field.

As a disappointing season for Arizona continues, backup QB Colt McCoy will get starting reps while Murray is out.

The Cardinals have the Los Angeles Chargers up next, followed by a Week 13 bye. It's very possible they wait until after the bye week to put Murray back in the line-up.

Jimmy Garoppolo threw four touchdown passes on Monday night, putting the offense in the best place to win. The defense balanced the game as well, playing their part. Garoppolo acknowledged their complete game on a national stage, while still citing need for improvement. "Today was probably our best full game that we've put together. But we've got a long way to go. There's some yards we left out there, even some points that we left out there."

Cleveland gets the best of the Bengals in MNF

The Cleveland Browns ended their four-game losing streak against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. While Cincy was missing star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, the offensive line was god awful and Joe Burrow had a horrible night as a result. The Browns sacked Burrow five times, intercepted him once and forced a fumble.

On the flip side, Browns QB Jacoby Brissett ran for a touchdown and threw for 278 yards, while Nick Chubb and Amari Cooper both had highlight-reel days.

When asked about the game plan, Willis said, "If they can't stop the run, why would we not run it? We're not out here to throw for 300 every game or try to run for 300 every game.

Mitch Trubisky is Pittsburgh's QB1

9/6/2022

It's what we've all been waiting for. While there has been no formal announcement from the team, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is listed as the No. 1 QB on the Pittsburgh Steelers' depth chart to start Week One.

While Steelers’ HC Mike Tomlin still hasn't made any official announcement, Mitch Trubisky is listed first at quarterback on the team’s depth chart that was released today for Pittsburgh’s regular-season opener vs. the Bengals.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 5, 2022

The starting role was always Trubisky's to lose since Pittsburgh signed him to a two-year, $14.58 million contract this offseason. But, while Trubisky took most of the first-string reps this summer during training camp, it was suspected perhaps rookie (and only first-round QB selected in this year's draft) Kenny Pickett could overtake the role. Instead, Pickett is listed as No. 3 on the Steelers' first depth chart, behind Mason Rudolph, for some reason.

How long will the depth chart stay this way? It's a fair question. Head coach Mike Tomlin could announce otherwise before the Steelers' first game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. If Trubisky struggles during the season, do they throw the keys to the rookie? I think Pickett will start a game this season before Rudolph, should they reach that point. But for now, it's wait and see.
