Geno Smith’s generation

Even by the standards of today’s vicious media landscape, the assassination of Smith’s character is shockingly swift. When he starred at West Virginia, Smith was characterized as humble, studious, courteous and bright. Now he’s perceived as entitled, whiny and lazy.

Is the AFC West the best NFL quarterback division ever? Where Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert, Derek Carr rank

In case you haven’t noticed, the AFC West is stacked.

When you consider Denver had been rolling with […]

NFL Mock Draft with all trades for 2021: Bill Barnwell proposes deals for all 32 picks, including the Jaguars, Jets and Patriots
