#410: Burning Questions on the eve of 2023 NFL Training Camps (with Mark Schofield)

1. Do you think the Chiefs pass rush is the main area that could potentially prevent them from winning their third Super Bowl in five years...or is it something else? 2. Do you think 2023 could be the best season in Justin Herbert's career to date with Kellen Moore now calling the plays? 3. Would you fault anybody for betting on the Panthers to be NFC South champions in 2023? 4. Do you think it's a good bet that the Texans win 5, 6, or even 7 games this season as opposed to just 3 or 4? 5. How possible is it that we see a similar stat-line from Anthony Richardson in 2023 to the one Fields put up in 2022? 6. If he doesn't have a similar year three growth spurt as Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts, then how would you define what a successful 2023 campaign for Justin Fields looks like? 7. On a scale of 1-to-10 how concerned are you about Jalen Hurts taking a sizable step backwards with Steichen no longer calling the plays? 8. Based on what you saw on tape, how optimistic are you about Brock Purdy being the long-term answer at QB in San Francisco? 9. As I mentioned a few minutes ago, headed into the season, it is very hard to find a legit Super Bowl contender in the NFC outside of Philly and San Francisco. That said, which other NFC team, if you had to pick one, do you see as on the cusp of becoming a formidable threat to win it all this year? 10. Come January, will Trevor Lawrence be considered by the consensus as a top-five QB in the NFL today? 11. If Deshaun Watson plays anywhere remotely close to the level he played at in Houston, are the Browns a serious threat to win the division, if not the conference championship? 12. Do you think the Dolphins are far better equipped to weather the storm of say a 3-4 game absence for Tua this year compared to last year? 13. Do you think Aaron Rodgers has one more MVP-level season in him and if not, what is the most realistic expectation for Aaron Rodgers this season? 14. Which team is more likely to overtake the Bills for the AFC East crown: Dolphins or Jets? 15. Bold and Not-So-Bold Predictions (Buy or Sell) -Bijan Robinson leads the NFL in rushing yards -Russell Wilson gets benched in Week 4, and Jarrett Stidham starts the rest of the season at QB for the Broncos -Jonathan Gannon will be a one-and-done head coach in Arizona -The Packers make the playoffs as a Wild Card…with Jordan Love having a very similar season as the one Geno Smith had last year -Garrett Wilson wins OPOY honors -Patriots and Steelers both finish last in their divisions…despite winning 9 games each -Both Los Angeles teams will be searching for new head coaches after the season
