I think the clots are interesting. I know they're invested in Richardson there with the future but it's hard to deny what Minshew has been doing for them. They might be better off keeping him or trying to trade him off somewhere for a pick or two.

Richardson concerns me going forward. I wouldn't sleep on him going into 2024. The little bit of action he had this year wasn't impressive but it also wasn't as bad as some people thought with him being limited as a starter in college. He has the potential to either be Trey Lance 2.0m (due to injuries), or, he could very well end up being another Lamar Jackson type problem.

I feel like CJ Stroud is quickly turning into another Patrick Mahomes with his moving around in the backfield, shifting the pocket, scrambling, buying time, etc. Very, very tough division moving forward. Should not be taken lightly and honestly? I am glad it's competitive.

Just gives our team or whoever wins the division yearly the clout that they deserve instead of getting lambasted with [BLEEP] labels every time a play off race heats up. I think the narratives moving forward, including for Lawrence, it will be something along the lines of "AFC South shaping out to be what the AFC West was once promised".

Everybody was high on Herbert and Mahomes in the AFC West. Herbert has fallen off a bit because his coaching staff sucks but he's not able to keep pace with Mahomes 9 times out of 10 anyway in the division. Lawrence & Stroud > Mahomes & Herbert.
