Deshaun Watson is one of the NFL’s premier quarterbacks. This year, a year in which his Houston Texans went a brutal 4-12 despite Watson leading the NFL in passing yards (4,823 yards) and adding 33 touchdowns and a 112.4 rating with just seven interceptions. He was nothing short of elite this year, and had he been on a winning team he would be in the MVP discussion – he could be anyway for what it’s worth. The Texans have one of the best franchise QBs in the NFL, and they have him under contract through 2025. That is a dreamy situation for any franchise. However, the nature of this season just passed and the seeming dysfunction of Houston’s organization have left questions about the relationship between team and player. Days after the season came to an end rumors started swirling regarding Watson’s future in Houston. Reportedly, via ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio , Watson had ‘quietly broached with teammates’ the possibility of seeking a trade from the Texans. For a franchise QB, mo...

Week 6 of the NFL season only served to complicate power rankings all over. On a weekly basis many teams seem capable of being the one of the best teams in the NFL or the worst. Be it the Los Angeles Rams or Dallas Cowboys falling off a cliff, the Kansas City Chiefs losing three straight at home, the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints winning four straight with their backup QB, the NFL has been chaos. So, this week represents a shake up, as it were, in how I looked at my Power Rankings. Ultimately, the top seven are, more often than not, going to beat the teams below them. The teams from eight to around 20 are going to be completely different teams from week-to-week - they're going to be frustrating and inconsistent.  So, without further ado, here are my Week 6 Power Rankings:  1. New England Patriots (6-0) A win is a win, but the offense needs to start clicking and showing steady performance. Brady and co. did well in the second half given the circum...

Hello! And welcome to my corner. It's now officially Rob Gronkowski days until the NFL kicks off again, minicamps are underway and training camp is just around the corner. Excitement among NFL fans is definitely building! With teams training again, there is a natural increase in story's and roster moves among the 32 teams and two of the biggest stories of the off-season continue to make headlines. The San Francisco 49ers' disastrous loss of players and Chip Kelly's complete turnover of the Philadelphia Eagles' roster. The 49ers have been subject to a very sudden and harsh fall from power. 2 years ago they were one play away from winning the Super Bowl. The following year they were one win away from making a 2nd consecutive Super Bowl, they have now fired head coach Jim Harbaugh, lost star linebacker Patrick Willis, Willis' replacement and up-and-comer Chris Borland, longtime d-line lynch pin Justin Smith and starting RT Anthony Davis to retiremen...
