Ty Simpson is another coach's kid as well. His father is the head coach at FCS Tennessee-Martin. Nussmeier, Becht, Simpson, all coach's kids. I have no proof to this statement but I believe coach's kid QBs are usually safer bets. Sometime when I have more time I will see if that theory is correct.

Your AI friend missed Jim Harbaugh and John Elway two big ones. but for the most part that was pretty interesting
The fact that Aaron Rodgers is killing it in Pittsburgh and had his worst year of his career on the Jets, as well as that injury goes to show you that this franchise is beyond cursed. Even if we had Patrick Mahomes he would suck. There are deep rooted issues with this organization and I don't know how they can be fixed.
I think a change in ownership would be a good start. THAT will never happen. The Jets are Johnson's own personal cash cow.
Rodgers looks like dog shit tonight. They’re near the bottom of the league in most offensive categories and he’s averaging less yards than he did here. Watch them struggle to make the playoffs.
yeah I think he spoke a little too soon the tides have turned tonight Baltimore and Cincinnati with hurt QBs helps their playoff chances a lot though
Jeez and now Rodgers is playing good again 4 former Jets QBs starting in this league still Rodgers Flacco Smith Darnold that’s insane
