Green Bay Packers Report Cards: Coaching and Personnel. The Green Bay Packers stormed into last year's playoffs, crushed the Cowboys and looked every bit like a future championship contender when they fell just short in the divisional round against the Super Bowl-bound 49ers. Adding fuel to the fire, general manager Brian Gutekunst signed an elite safety in Xavier McKinney, added a stud running back in Josh Jacobs and drafted a potential star linebacker in Edgerrin Cooper. With those key additions, the Packers won two more games but faded down the stretch and were bounced in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Derek Carr (QB - NO)
1/20/25 10:47 AM -
Why Raiders' QB Situation Won't Matter For Ben Johnson. The Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback situation has been unstable ever since the departure of Derek Carr in early 2023. Jimmy Garappolo was a laughable choice, soon to be third-year signal caller Aidan O'Connell has shown signs of promise but there is an abundance of uncertainty, and 2024 signing Gardner Minshew was unable to generate what was asked of him in his brief stint. With a quarterback carousel that could potentially go on for a third-straight season, what does it mean for the Silver and Black's chances of landing a decent head coach candidate? The quarterback is the most vital position in the sport and the quintessential piece for a franchise's present and future success.

Falcons position review: Veteran DTs lead group in 2024. As expected, Grady Jarrett and David Onyemata anchored the Atlanta Falcons' defensive line in 2024 at the tackle position. Unexpectedly, the veterans left more to be desired based on their career track records. There was major hype surrounding Jarrett entering the season, as he returned from an ACL injury for his 10th year in Atlanta. While he did become the Falcons' franchise leader in quarterback hits – now at 126 in his career – he had just 2.5 sacks, which is his second-lowest total in a full starting season.

Ohio State football was built to be the Patriots. Instead, the Buckeyes can finish as the Giants. Ohio State football coach Ryan Day was an assistant at Boston College while a nearby dynasty was at its height. Just 25 miles south of BC's Alumni Stadium — a place Day called home on three separate occasions during his coaching career — was Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. Led by coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, the story of the NFL in the early 2000s can't be told without numerous mentions of perhaps the greatest dynasty in the sport's history. In a historical sense, Ohio State, with its eight claimed national titles, shares some traits with the Patriots.
