How Important Is Quarterback Footwork?

Matthew Stafford and Drake Maye went to work with decidedly different feet.

At some point during the 2025 NFL season, it seemed like the only thing anyone was talking about was feet. Tom Brady wouldn't shut up about the feet.

A lot of it centered on younger quarterbacks with poor mechanics. Their feet were happy and Tom was sad.

J.J. McCarthy was the poster boy for it all. Ball-knowers and film-grinders diagnosed all 10 of his toes, like JP Acosta after the Vikings loss to the Bears:

"McCarthy knows where to go with the ball, but he rushes his process and dirts [the pass]. Look at his feet in the pocket;

NFL Coaching Continuity

Coaching might be the single biggest competitive advantage NFL teams can exploit during the salary-cap era.

Here's where I'm at in building out an extensive coaching tree for all the sickos.

Patrick Mahomes Reloaded

What will the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs' offense look like in a post–Travis Kelce world?

Kansas City will play San Francisco in the Super Bowl for the second time in four seasons. Patrick Mahomes has made the AFC Championship game in each of his six seasons as Chiefs starting quarterback. This will be their fourth Super Bowl and his second chance at going back-to-back.

He's Tom Brady and LeBron James rolled into one. As a Bills fan, watching him dice up the league while Josh Allen careens down the Philip Rivers trajectory isn't exactly what I would describe as a fun time.

But that's real life and I'm here to talk about fantasy football. Specifically,
