Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been dealing with a shoulder injury for over a month, but it didn't look like it hindered him much in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts said Thursday that he's still working through it but expects to play.

Jalen Hurts on how he is feeling with his injured shoulder:

“I’m getting there. I’ve made it clear this whole time it’s something I’m dealing with.”

Says it is getting better with time #Eagles

more Qb news:

  • It was drilled into our brains yesterday, but yes, Tom Brady retired (again). Aside from the most obvious question - will it last? - another question emerged: Will he retire a New England Patriot or a Tampa Bay Buccaneer? Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he's hoping it's the former. "Not only do I want it, our fans are clamoring for it, and to us, he always has been and always will be a Patriot. We'll do everything we can in our power to bring him back, sign off as a Patriot, and find ways to honor him for many years to come." Oh yes, all we need is ~more~ ways to honor him.
  • Despite looking pretty hobbled after the game, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes says he didn't experience any setbacks with his ankle injury after the AFC Championship Game.

  • Derek Carr will move on in 2023, and the Las Vegas Raiders will likely trade him. While Carr is not "elite," he's a clear upgrade for many teams. So, who will take him? General Manager Dave Ziegler says Carr will likely have a lot of interest.
    • Carr also spoke about his moving on at the Pro Bowl Games.

Tom Brady is retiring, for real this time (maybe)

On the one-year anniversary of his retiring for the first time, Tom Brady has retired again. And this time, it seems like it's for real (maybe). Brady wanted to announce his decision via video rather than the lengthy, drawn-out statement he put out last February. He said it's for good this time, but I'll believe that when I see it.

Truly grateful on this day. Thank you □□❤️ pic.twitter.com/j2s2sezvSS

— Tom Brady (@TomBrady) February 1, 2023

There were plenty of rumors about Brady playing elsewhere in 2023 - Las Vegas and San Francisco being the two favorites - and then a return to Tampa Bay was also floated as a possibility. It came down to a return to the Buccaneers and retirement. The Bucs found out about his decision around the same time we did.

Tom Brady informed Bucs today at 6 am he’d be retiring. One aspect I’d been mentioning for a bit now: Brady for months implied to many close to him that it was going to be either a return to Tampa or retirement. Tough for many to believe, including those close, but he meant it.

  • The Carolina Panthers have a new coach in Frank Reich, who has been on the losing end of quarterback battles since Andrew Luck. General Manager Scott Fitterer stated their preference in drafting and developing a quarterback in this year's draft. "If there's a guy in this class that you like, you got to go up and get him. We're in a position now where we have a defense; we have an offensive line. We built around this for this opportunity."
  • While the team has not begun contract talks with QB Daniel Jones, New York Giants General Manager Joe Schoen said the club is interested in bringing him back. Jones had the best season of his career under Brian Daboll and earned respect around the league. Unless they can find an upgrade, I'd expect them to re-sign Jones.

  • Trey Lance was supposed to be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers this season before he broke his ankle at the start of the season. Then the same thing happened to Jimmy Garoppolo, which left the rookie third-stringer in Brock Purdy. Lance spoke highly of Purdy and how he handled everything. "I was just super excited for him. He worked his butt off, all OTAs, since the first day he got here, since the day he got drafted. So he deserved everything he got this year and more."
    • Purdy is still considering options for his UCL, while most are recommending surgery.
  • The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2023 off-season with Desmond Ridder as their quarterback. Ridder took over for Marcus Mariota after their bye week and would be the favorite for the starting position heading into 2023. However - with a ton of cap space and a lot of veteran QBs on the move, the Falcons are an interesting spot to keep an eye on. General Manager Terry Fontenot said they're open to bringing someone in. "We're excited about where we are, but yet, we are going to add players... we always want to keep adding to the group."
  • Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is signed through the 2026 season, and vice president Stephen Jones said the team is committed to him long-term. Prescott will be without offensive coordinator Kellen Moore this year, meaning he'll likely be learning a new offense with head coach Mike McCarthy likely to call plays.

Stephen Jones said the Cowboys are committed to Dak Prescott long term and are open to extending his contract.

  • Finally, some good news regarding Tua Tagovailoa's health. He has been cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol and should be ready to go in time for football season. The Miami Dolphins remain adamant that they are committed to Tagovailoa moving forward. However, the amount of concussions he has had in such a short time is still concerning.

#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, sources say. He met with several medical professionals in the process. They are confident he’ll be 100% when the time comes for football.

  • Justin Fields came close to breaking Lamar Jackson's single-season rushing record (and probably would have, had he been active in Week 18), but the Chicago Bears want him to do less running moving forward, as it took a toll on his body. "It's got to be a part of who you are, but in the NFL, it's hard for it to be who you are - you just don't last... So we've got to make sure we just tap into each one of those things, but running, for sure, has to be a part of who we are going forward."
  • Patrick Mahomes was estimated as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, as the Kansas City Chiefs did not hold a full practice.

While he still has to make a firm decision on his future in the NFL, a trade is still on the table for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. A trade would free up a big chunk of change for the team ($60 million, to be exact), but he is not expected to be traded to an NFC team. A couple of intriguing teams are the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets, both of whom are expected to move on from their current starters.

More context: Aaron Rodgers doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract. The #Packers don't need his direct permission to trade him, at least not contractually.

  • The New England Patriots hired Bill O'Brien as their offensive coordinator on Tuesday, and quarterback Mac Jones is said to be "very excited" about the hire. Jones regressed big time in his second season, and O'Brien is a good fit.

could the Bears take a QB with the No. 1 pick?

1/11/2023

The Chicago Bears have the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but they already have their QB of the future in Justin Fields. General Manager Ryan Poles said he wouldn't rule out taking a QB with the first pick but would have to be "blown away." This opens up a potential trade for the first pick or taking a much-needed position player.

Justin Fields was one of the most flashy quarterbacks of 2022, nearly breaking Lamar Jackson's record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season. But, like Jackson, Poles stated that Fields needs to grow as a passer.

The Bears would be stupid to move on from Fields and instead need to build around him. Chicago can benefit from picking top offensive linemen and/or weapons to surround Fields with in this year's draft rather than looking to replace him.

When asked, Bears GM Ryan Poles said he plans on QB Justin Fields being the team’s starter next season.

He said that he has to be “absolutely blown away” to take a QB at No. 1.

I believe we're going to be as healthy as we've been all year, which is kind of exciting to get some guys back that haven't been in there and then see if we can go play our best football."
  • Trevor Lawrence was listed as limited on Tuesday's injury report.
  • The Detroit Lions had a great 2022, and a lot of it has to do with the emergence of quarterback Jared Goff.

"I'll say this; I think it's a lot easier to get worse at quarterback than to get better at quarterback in this league... I do think Jared has proven to everybody that he is a starting quarterback for us."

Tom Brady-Mike Evans connection heating up

  • Mike Evans and Tom Brady haven't had the best connection this season, but things are coming together at just the right time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans had this to say about his QB: "Tom was just dropping dimes. Those were some really, really good balls. This was one of the best games I've seen Tom play since he's been here." The Bucs clinched the NFC South title this week and have a chance to continue the connection in the postseason.
    • With Week 18 being pretty meaningless for the Bucs, Brady says it would "bother" him if he did not play.

“We’re football players, it’s football season so we play football,” Tom Brady says. Would seem he plans to play at Atlanta Sunday. Todd Bowles will have he final say. Rest vs Rust?

more qb news:

  • Once upon a time, the Green Bay Packers were 4-8, and injuries to quarterback Aaron Rodgers had people wondering whether he would be shut down for the season. But then, they won four in a row and currently control their playoff destiny. Rodgers spoke about the mindset of the team throughout the season. "Sometimes you've got to fool yourself a little bit into believing a little bit more. But I definitely had faith I was going down scrapping, for sure. I do believe in the power of manifestation, and I do believe in momentum, and I believe very strongly in the force of the mind." Sounds like a quote straight out of a Disney movie.
  • San Francisco 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy has been lighting it up lately, but Sunday's game was the first time he's had to play from behind. Nevertheless, he got the job done, and head coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged being able to do that was good for the team moving forward. "To keep coming back and keep attacking, he never got gun-shy, made some real good decisions too, and fought it out throughout the whole game and found a way to win."
  • The Philadelphia Eagles believe Jalen Hurts will be ready to play in Week 18. Hurts was ruled out the past two weeks with a shoulder injury but returned to practice during the week.

  • The Chicago Bears aren't playing for anything any longer, and they let Justin Fields stay in the game to get destroyed on Sunday, sparking the question of, well... why?!? Head coach Matt Eberflus said keeping Fields in the game was to get him experience. "I just go back to what I just kind of tried to state is in-game experience; there's nothing like it. We're not going to get that anywhere else." I understand, but I hope Eberflus crossed his fingers TIGHT that Fields wouldn't get seriously injured.
    • Despite this, Eberflus did not commit to Fields starting in Week 18. Something to keep an eye on.
  • The New York Jets were happy to get Mike White back this week after dealing with a rib injury. But, unfortunately, it turns out they stink regardless of who is at the quarterback position. White talked about the disappointment of not meeting his teammates' expectations: "The guys in the locker room deserve a certain standard. I knew what I was signing up for. I practiced all week. There's a standard they deserve, and I didn't play to that standard today."

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.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a non-contact knee injury on the third play during Monday Night Football.

Murray was in the middle of a scramble when his knee appeared to buckle. (I'm not going to post the video, but you can look for it if you want to see it.) Murray was carted off the field, surrounded by teammates, and quickly ruled questionable to return. Murray was later ruled out by the team in the second quarter with a knee injury.

Backup QB Colt McCoy replaced him.

The Philadelphia Eagles are undefeated no more. Unfortunately, the Eagles played their worst game all season with three turnovers. While the game went back and forth for most of the duration, it wasn't as close as the score might suggest. The Eagles couldn't keep the Washington Commanders off the field (not something I thought I'd ever say), and it seemed like every time Philly seemed to get it together, they turned the ball over.

Neither quarterback impressed, but Washington QB Taylor Heinicke celebrated in style on the flight home. If this doesn't seal him keeping the starting job, I'm not sure what will.

I think that first touchdown, probably on the atomic level, shifted a lot of different things for him, exorcising some demons. I'm proud of him. He made some plays." Of course, this is how Rodgers explains this.
  • Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson isn't allowed to play until Week 13, but this is the first week he's allowed to practice with the team. While I'm sure this is an upgrade for the Browns on the field, it's a downgrade as far as morals go.

Under the terms of his 11-game suspension, Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson is eligible to begin practicing, effective today. He can make his season debut in Week 13 at Houston against his former team.

  • In one of the biggest blunders of the day, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady tried (and failed) to catch a pass from running back Leonard Fournette. Brady gave the play-by-play version postgame. "It was too late, and the ball went up in the air, and I was trying to just, whatever, jump up and knock it down. But I ended up falling on my face."
  • Matt Ryan got the start for the Indianapolis Colts this weekend and left guard Quenton Nelson had nothing but good things to say about him getting his job back.

Quenton Nelson on Matt Ryan — this speaks for most of the locker room, which never wanted to see Ryan benched in the first place:

  • People (aka me) are waiting for the Atlanta Falcons to release Desmond Ridder into the wild, and it doesn't appear that that could be happening anytime soon. However, head coach Arthur Smith says he didn't consider benching starter Marcus Mariota on Sunday, and "If we were going to make a change, I'd tell you. You'd see it at practice."
  • Stop me if you've heard this before, but Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints are undecided on the quarterback position for next week. There's a chance they could end the Andy Dalton Experiment and go back to Jameis Winston. The Saints play the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Dennis Allen said he’ll sit down and visit with Jameis Winston, will talk to the medical staff, etc, said they have to do what gives the team the best chance to win. Said he has not made a decision at QB yet, but sounds like Winston is a possibility.

Cleveland gets the best of the Bengals in MNF

Picture
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.

"I almost got you 55."

more QB News:

  • The Green Bay Packers looked better as a team than they have in recent weeks, but they still didn't get the win. Aaron Rodgers thinks once they get a win, it will change things. "Nobody feels sorry for us. We've got to find a way to get one win. I feel like if we can just get one, then the whole momentum changes."
  • Rookie QB Malik Willis made his first start for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but they didn't ask him to throw much. 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. We're out here trying to find ways to win."
  • Zach Wilson didn't have a great week, throwing three interceptions and prompting his head coach to say he has to play better. Vet linebacker CJ Mosley came to his defense on Monday, saying the entire New York Jets team is behind him.

C.J. Mosley on Zach Wilson: "Everybody in the building has got his back." #Jets

  • It wouldn't be another week in the NFL without a cringe quote from Russell Wilson. "Adversity is temporary," he told the Denver Post. "I've never shied away from pressure. You've got to look right at it and keep believing and stay the course." Ok.
  • Steve Wilks told reporters on Monday that QB PJ Walker will start for the Carolina Panthers again in Week Nine.
  • I normally don't like to comment on QBs personal lives, but this does have to do with football. While questions have swirled about how committed Tom Brady is to football and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady insists he has a strong work-life balance in light of his recent divorce from Gisele Bundchen.

Tom Brady addressed his divorce on his Let’s Go podcast with Jim Gray:
“There’s a lot of professionals in life that go through things that they Dwl with at work and they deal with at home. Obviously the good news is it’s a very amicable situation and I’m really focused…
