Every take from The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast)
2401–2425 of 2,749
But I do think Chase Brown is still pretty safely going to be the lead back in one of the best offenses in the league.
that offensive line did not improve enough, nearly enough, and we find ourselves in that same scenario as we did in twenty twenty four. I think we're looking more like the guy we got in Tyreek in twenty twenty four than the guy we got in twenty twenty three.
Yeah, that seems light to me too. I think it's more like four or five easily
if that's where he goes he's gonna be a big bust this coming year because people are expecting RB one production if they are rafting Chase Brown.
I'm actually in line with these projections, Like right now, I've got Drake May as my QB twenty I think
So I was in on Kiren last year, but I am out this year... people are drafting him as an RB one, he easily could be an RB two in this offense
So this projection and where we are where the consensus is on Tyrek Hill scares the Bejesus out of me because I can't see him paying all on this.
so I've Chased Brown at RB eleven in my rankings
And again I think Jalen Hurts is probably ten best in the league. But I do think he's he's a top ten franchise quarterback.
has now ranked the top ten quarterbacks heading in the next season. He has Lamar Jackson one, Josh Allen two... He had Joe Burrow three, Patrick Mahomes four... Chris Simms had Jalen Hurts... at behind Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert, C. J. Stroud, Matt Stafford, and Jayden Daniels.
if I went today and you told me best quarterbacks in the AFC... I'd go Alan Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar, that's the big four... I'd go Herbert C. J. Stroud and I put Geno seven... And I would put the eighth best quarterback bo Nickx... And then number nine, I think you get Aaron Trevor Lawrence in Tua
I would give Hurts probably the slight edge... But for right now, I think that's there's no problem putting Hurts five.
I do believe the Chargers win the division. I would not rule out the Broncos.
I keep coming back to the team that's gonna get him Jannis is probably the Houston Rockets because they have one of the best young players in the league in Aman Thompson.
I have been saying since the Super Bowl, you got to put Jalen Hurts at five. I think he's in that upper crust with Burrow, Lamar, Josh and Mahomes.
I mean I will probably pick the Bills to win the AFC, but again, like they have to do it, Jay Mac, they can't beat the Chiefs.
Jerry's gonna sign him, but he's gonna wait and wait
- PendingRick BucherGame Outcome Picks
I think that the Pacers have a chance to make it an interesting series in terms of pushing it to, six maybe even seven... I don't see them winning it, but I see them making a contest
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jun 2, 2025 - PendingRick BucherTop Player Lists
your guy number one is SGA, right? Yes... Luca, I believe I had second... I had Ant fifth and I had Jimmy Butler ahead of him
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jun 2, 2025 So I thought I'd rank going from five to one the five best players in the NBA without a ring... let's start with number five... Jalen Brunson... the fourth best player in the NBA without a ring... Jimmy Butler... number three let's go to the MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander... number two Anthony Edwards... now for the number one player in the NBA without a ring, it's got to be Luka
going back to Caleb Johnson, he shouldn't be in this tier. He is the clear guy
I've got RJ. Harvey is locked in top fifteen back this year
I think Tony Pollard is still going to be the quick, clear, workhorse, sixty to sixty five percent snap guy. He's gonna get the red zone touches
you want to talk about guys, I'll continue to fade and happily. So DeAndre Swift, come on down
Bucky Irving's the guy that I want to be above consensus. I have him at RB six
