In all of my years following the NFL, this is my favorite period of quarterback play. You have the wiley veterans like Tom Brady and Drew Brees, grizzled scrambler "supermen" like Russell Wilson and Cam Newton, and boat loads of exceptional first and second year guys, like Baker Bayfield and Mitchell Trubisky, just to name two out of many!

It's a shame I can't name Kirk Cousins to any of those lists; he has elite skills for sure, as I've written about before, but the personality of an accountant rather than a superstar athlete. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but at present I don't see the heart of a champion there.

And in completely unrelated news, I'm with Jerome Powell's original "QT is on autopilot" statement: that's how it should be. Be a man, like Paul Volcker was-- don't back down, do the right thing! Instead, it looks like he's buckling under political pressure. The balance sheet needs to get back down to what it was, come hell or high water, and it needs to stay there, for good. The system inevitably needs to liquidate its bad investment and debt-- the longer that is delayed, the worse it will be. Slowing down "QT" is pure cowardice.
