Cardinals place Murray on PuP; Won't name Week 1 starter

8/29/2023

The Arizona Cardinals will stick quarterback Kyler Murray on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list to begin the season. Murray has been rehabbing an ACL tear from Week 14 in 2022, so this was bound to happen. This move means that Murray will miss the first four games of the season, at a minimum. Onto the good stuff.

The Cardinals released veteran QB Colt McCoy, meaning that he clearly won't be the backup when Murray is out. The team traded for QB Joshua Dobbs last week and have rookie Clayton Tune also on the roster, making the two of them prime candidates for the job.

There's still more.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon says he won't name a starter ahead of Week 1. We're all on the edges of our seats.

Gannon won’t name QB starter ahead of Washington game. Cites competitive advantage.

Citing "competitive advantage" here is insane. It might be the only advantage they have.

- Shanahan also said presumed starter Brock Purdy may play a series or two on Saturday. "We plan on Sam going the first half still... I might get Brock in there for a little bit. I haven't finalized that yet, but thinking about playing the ones, for possibly a series, a little in the first quarter."

Justin Fields will not play for the Chicago Bears on Saturday.

Deshaun Watson did not play for the Cleveland Browns in Thursday's preseason game, but he wants to play a quarter in the next one. "I would love to be out there. I'm not sure how much exactly because I know Kevin [Stefanski] doesn't want us to play the whole game, but get a little rhythm going for maybe a quarter against the Super Bowl champs and just to have that test I think would be fun."

Lions sign Teddy Bridgewater

Bridgewater will be the backup for starter Jared Goff. The team also has QB Nate Sudfeld and rookie QB Hendon Hooker on the roster, though he's not expected to play in 2023 due to recovering from a torn ACL.

The Lions were interested in Bridgewater for a backup role since the spring, even offering him a contract in April. Bridgewater decided to hold out for a starting role, and when that did not surface, Bridgewater went back to Detroit.

Bridgewater is heading into his tenth season as an NFL player. His latest stint was with the Miami Dolphins, where he backed up Tua Tagovailoa.

San Francisco 49ers presumed starting quarterback Brock Purdy is not expected to play in their preseason opener as he continues to recover from offseason elbow surgery.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QBs Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask have been competing all summer to see who will get the starting nod (they'll split starting preseason games, with Mayfield getting Week One and Trask getting Week Two). Trask says he's keeping his focus on what he can do to get better. "I've been in a lot of quarterback competitions in my football career and I think the main thing you can focus on is just playing the best that you can. There's a lot of things that are out of your hands, in terms of the competition. It's the same for me: stay focused on what I can do."

Justin Fields gives himself a new title

7/18/2023

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields believes he is one of the greatest running QBs in all of NFL history. He named Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, Steve Young, and himself.

— NFL on CBS ? (@NFLonCBS) July 18, 2023

There's nothing wrong with this line of thinking. I'd rather my favorite QB think he was the best over being like, "Well, let me list x amount of guys who are better than me."

Fields ran for just under 1150 yards last season - the second-most for a QB in history (Jackson had 1206 in 2019). And you could argue that he may have broken Jackson's record had he played in Week 17. But, I think Fields is putting himself there a little early, but it's also fine for him to be a little cocky. It's my favorite QB trait.

Doug Pederson was Jalen Hurts' head coach his rookie season, and he could see Hurts' success from a mile away. "It's really no surprise to me the success that Jalen's having right now and just wish him the best moving forward. But the things that impressed me the most are probably the things you see off the football field. The leadership ability, the work ethic, the way he approaches the game, the way he studies the game, the way he wants to be coached."

Houston Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud came into the building ready to work, learn, and impress, says veteran left tackle Laremy Tunsil. "Man, you should have seen how he came in the building. He came in the building already a leader. He voices himself in the huddles."

Trey Lance's future with the San Francisco 49ers is up in the air at the moment, but that doesn't mean teammates are going to stop rooting for him. "Trey is beloved in our locker room," says fullback Kyle Juszczyk. "Everybody loves Trey. The dude really does work his ass off."

Who's responsible for the recent turnaround of the Cincinnati Bengals? None other than quarterback Joe Burrow, says Sam Hubbard. "Having a guy like that that you can always play hard for and you always know you're in every game, it inspires the whole team."

The Los Angeles Rams and Matthew Stafford may be on the outs after 2023. Colin Cowherd stated on his radio show that, "I was told by a source I trust that they wanted to re-do his contract. He wasn't interested. It limits what they can do and they were frustrated with him." Stafford is on the back-end of his career, so I don't blame him for wanting to get as much as he can out of that deal. But the Rams are looking dumb for doing it in the first place - the dark side of going "all-in for a ring."

The Tennessee Titans have a new offensive coordinator this season and with that comes learning a new offense. QB Ryan Tannehill says the team is going through the motions - and that includes making mistakes. "A lot of new stuff, terminology, concepts, blocking schemes, the whole thing. There are a lot of mistakes being made, but they're good mistakes. We're growing from them."
- Rookie QB Will Levis is also not beating himself up over mistakes. "I know I have more opportunities tomorrow and the next day, so I'm not going to beat myself up. High standards is the name of the game."

Washington Commanders QB Sam Howell is heading into his first season as a full-time starting quarterback. And with that, comes leadership. Howell is wearing a microphone at practice so the coaching staff can hear him making plays and engaging with teammates. "It's real interesting to watch the way you can see him stepping into the huddle," head coach Ron Rivera said. "He's taking charge, taking command."

The New England Patriots landed free agent wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster this offseason, giving QB Mac Jones a new weapon. Jones says himself and Smith-Schuster are already gaining chemistry on and off the field. "He just came off a Super Bowl team, so what a great value to our offense. Obviously, when he gets on the field, that's going to be great because he has the experience and he loves talking about football."

The Kansas City Chiefs are highly optimistic about second-year receiver Justyn Ross, with head coach Andy Reid saying he already has the trust of QB Patrick Mahomes.

“Justyn is coming along. He feels good, his foot feels good (and) the surgery that he had worked out well up to this point. He’s made some nice plays for us out here. I know Pat’s (Mahomes) got trust in him, so that’s good to see.” - Andy Reid. https://t.co/GEwuwOWWf0

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love and wide receiver Romeo Doubs are starting off the offseason on the right foot with a constant connection. In a two-minute drill, Love and Doubs connected on four passes during Thursday's practice.

While the San Francisco 49ers appear committed to QB Brock Purdy when he's healthy, general manager John Lynch is also impressed with Trey Lance and how he's progressed this offseason. "We're extremely high on Trey... Trey came back off a broken and dislocated ankle, and he's out there, has had a really, really quality offseason. So we still remain very high on Trey."

Houston Texans rookie QB CJ Stroud is taking first-team reps at OTAs and is in line to start come September. New head coach DeMeco Ryans is impressed by Stroud thus far. "CJ is progressing well. Each day, he continues to get better, continues to get more comfortable with the verbiage of the offense and his command of the huddle."

Aaron Rodgers has minor calf injury during otas

5/24/2023

Aaron Rodgers is in attendance for OTAs with the New York Jets, but he wasn't doing much work on Tuesday due to a potential ankle injury. Rodgers was seen limping on the field where he then went to speak with the strength and conditioning staff. The good news? It's May. The best time to get injured.

The injury appeared to be only a "tweak," although it's something worth keeping an eye on as the offseason progresses.

"Bryce's been great from the day he got here. I think that's the reason why we picked him, because of his makeup. Smart kid - nothing seems too big for him."

Texans' owner says he didn't pressure pick of CJ Stroud

5/9/2023

The Houston Texans picked Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud with the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft; we know this. What is puzzling is that the team fleeced everyone into thinking they weren't taking a quarterback - so much so that several mock drafts as early as two weeks before had the team going defense at No. 2. Texans owner Cal McNair insisted that he had no influence on the pick of Stroud. "Hannah and I don't make the picks," McNair said at the team's charity golf event.

#Texans owner Cal McNair makes it adamantly clear on the draft that “Hannah and I don’t make the picks. We ll make it clear there.”
— DJ Bien-Aime (@Djbienaime) May 8, 2023

"We have a great group of scouts led by Nick [Caserio] and James Lippert," McNair continued, "and they did a lot of work on the draft board, and then they followed that on draft day, and they moved up when they saw the value was there and moved back."

Houston, famously, picked Stroud at No. 2 and then traded up to take Alabama defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The Texans are certainly doing everything they can to improve their roster, which has been one of the weakest in the NFL for the past few seasons.

I, personally, love the presence of new head coach DeMeco Ryans and think he can make a huge impact on trying to change the course of the franchise. It probably won't be this year, or even next, but they definitely have the ability to slowly get better with time.

more Qb news:

The Arizona Cardinals selected Houston QB Clayton Tune in the fifth round, but he thinks he's the best QB prospect in this year's class. "If you look at my body of work, the effect that I have on my team that I play on, I elevate everyone around me. I'm a natural leader, people follow me and see the work that I'm putting in and the mindset that I have, and they want to follow suit. I have that no-flinch mentality when things get tough." That's some confidence. Maybe it'll work in his favor - starter Kyler Murray may miss the first few weeks of the season while he recovers from a torn ACL. Could Tune get a chance to fill in?

The Indianapolis Colts got to see their rookie QB in action during rookie minicamp. New head coach Shane Steichen said he's impressed with Anthony Richardson so far. "He's come in every day attacking this thing like a pro. And we just continue to be consistent with it every single day."
