   There will be a QB competition next season especially if Watson looks good vs Minnesota. Telling Drones he's #1 just keeps him out of the portal.

      Boy, I hope so. If Drones is guaranteed # 1, he will need to make epic improvements during the off-season in throwing motion, general accuracy, deep ball accuracy, and show he can get past the first read. Coming off a slew of injuries (Drones) and given the inexperience and unproven nature of the RB room, we may need to lean on the WR's and TE's to move the ball.

   Your articles have entertained me all year but this was a special truth.

   Thanks Andy, especially your commentary on the CFP and the whiney SEC. Frankly most everyone outside the southeast US has had a gut-full of Bonny Prince Herbie, King Saban, ESPN, and the SEC. Hopefully this will be the second year that no SEC team makes the final 2. Wishing everyone at TSL a very merry Christmas!

   Well done. Did you have all of those quotes at your fingertips (my guess is that you did indeed) or is there a little AI assist involved in stuff like this to find the perfect quote? I might be able to do this for Big Bang Theory. Maybe. But the quotes are often more racy than businesslike, so maybe it wouldn’t actually be possible.

   Thanks Andy! Great read. There could also be another angle on Drones. His number is 1 so QB1 could just be another name with no underlying meaning as to status. Merry Christmas and thanks for all your work this year!

    Excellent stuff, Andy! You nailed it with these Office quotes, and yes, like Michael Scott, I too am ready to get hurt again. Go Hokies!

    Oh, worthy one, perfect. Read that in the fake Michael Scott South Carolina Southern accent drawl that had to be the cringiest The Office episode scene...ever. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family!
