Not quite sure how to really name each post but I figured I’d start out just numbering them as I go in order to be able to go back and reference past posts. Anyways let us get into this first post.
Today I will talk about a few of the quarterbacks in the NFL I believe will succeed now that they are on a new team. First off let’s address the most popular of the quarterback trades Tom Brady. The six time champ is headed to Tampa Bay and now has one of the top weapons in the league in Mike Evans who has had at least 1,000+ yards receiving every season since being drafted in 2014. Not to mention Chris Goodwin who in his sophomore season last year got his first 1,000 yard season. So now having the”GOAT” as their quarterback this offense will be pretty deadly and I think Tampa will succeed. I see them definitely making the playoffs the only question is if they are a top spot or wild card with having to play the Saints twice for the division title.
Next, we have Phillip Rivers who also was traded this off season after being with San Diego since 2004. The long time veteran is heading to Indianapolis where unfortunately for him he isn’t getting great options on offense. T.Y. Hilton and Jack Doyle are really the only options and that is not an offense I see as going on a deep run in the playoffs. Now maybe the Colts draft a wide receiver like they are projected to and that would be a good addition for a young player like Jerry Jeudy from Alabama or CeeDee Lamb from Oklahoma to learn from a veteran like Hilton. If this happens I become more confident in the Colts postseason dreams.
Finally, there is Nick Foles and honestly he is a bit of a wildcard. He wins the super bowl for the Eagles and then goes to the Jaguars where he is injured then loses his starting spot to the rookie Gardner Minshew. So honestly maybe he will bounce back in Chicago but at the same time this may be the last we see of Foles in the NFL because of the fact that the Bears just aren’t great and don’t have a big name offensive guy to help Foles out. He does have a few so-so guys though so who knows no one would’ve bet on the Eagles when he was there with that supporting offensive cast and they won the super bowl. I guess the bottom line is Foles can’t be ruled out this year and as for the Bears overall I see them probably a middle of the road team missing the playoffs once again.
