Every Projected Week 1 Starting Quarterback Ranked (Sports)

        The NFL season is here, today! So it’s time for my ranking. This is a ranking of each teams projected starting quarterback combining two factors. One being their performance leading up to this season in their respective career but most importantly the other being how well I think they are going to play going into the 2024-2025 season.


32. Daniel Jones 

This is less of a statement on Jones and more on the team and organization around him.


31. Jacoby Brisset 

A solid backup option that’s just holding time for Drake Maye and the rest of the young core.


30. Bo Nix 

Maybe he is the next Drew Brees or maybe we should just let him be Bo Nix, a rookie coached by Sean Payton.


29. Gardner Minshew 

This screams a 9-8 ceiling but he definitely brings that Raider mentality so I might be underestimating him.


28. Jayden Daniels 

Very easily could be in the mid-low teens in no time but the Commanders need him to be special to erase the ghosts of Washington past.


27. Derek Carr

It might be time to entertain that at best Carr was serviceable and now he might be over the hill.


26. Bryce Young  

I like Adam Thielen and Chuba Hubbard but how can you expect a rookie Bryce Young to succeed with that, that supporting cast is slightly better now.


25. Will Levis

I’m high on Levis, I thought he really showed a tough X-factor last year, it just depends if he can keep developing and stay healthy.


24. Sam Darnold

Darnold’s starting opportunities were with the Jets and Panthers over the last few years, so maybe we need to give him another shot.


23. Russell Wilson

Wilson wasn’t as bad as the media would let you believe last year but the Seattle Russ is definitely gone.


22.  Deshaun Watson

Electric in Houston, but that was a while ago it’s time for Watson to prove if he is still electric or if those days are behind him.


21. Kyler Murray

Murray to Harrison gets me excited, hopefully we can see it for all 17 games.


20. Caleb Williams 

One of the most dynamic quarterbacks in college football history not to mention he might have the best skill position players a rookie has ever had.


19. Anthony Richardson 

Boom or bust kinda pick but anyone who has watched Richardson knows how dynamic he can be when healthy.


18. Geno Smith 

Geno left some plays on the field last year but I expect this team to be energized and for Smith to capitalize on that.


17. Tua Tagovailoa

Can execute a dynamic offense to near perfection, in the regular season. 


16. Baker Mayfield 

One of the most pleasant surprises of last season expect Baker to continue to be solid.


15. Trevor Lawrence 

At minimum you are getting a high upside talented adult which you can’t always say about all NFL quarterbacks.


14. Kirk Cousins 

Kirk has always been a top half quarterback and the injury concern is valid but it’s not like Cousins relied on his athleticism.


13. Dak Prescott 

Seems like Dak’s days in Dallas are numbered but he has the skills to make this really awkward.


12. Aaron Rodgers  

Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been great for a minimum of two years but it’s hard to be down on one of the greats. (This does not mean I’m drinking that Jets kool-Aid.)


11. Jared Goff 

There is always the possibility of unfortunate turnovers but Goff got that big payday for valid reasons.


10. Joe Burrow

When healthy he is an absolute field general but the offensive line is still questionable and that should make Cincinnati worried.


9. Brock Purdy

Oh he has this guy and that guy, but he just keeps winning and isn’t that what matters?


8.  Jalen Hurts

Hurts was hurt last year and that’s important to remember, I expect a bounce back year full of silencing haters.


7. Matthew Stafford 

Stafford is my sleeper pick to win MVP, don’t tell anyone


6. Jordan Love 

I’m feeling the love and why not he was the best QB for the last 8 weeks of the regular season and his young team is only getting better.


5. Justin Herbert 

I will die on the hill that Herbert can challenge for the best QB in the league but it’s gotta work with Harbaugh or he might be the problem.


4. C.J Stroud 

Any potential sophomore slump might just be solved by the fact that this team decided to give Stroud two new toys in Diggs and Mixon.


3. Lamar Jackson 

His ability to lead his team to meaningful playoff wins remains to be seen but you can bet he will win the games to get them there and look dynamic doing it.


2. Josh Allen

If you have watched any of the battles Allen has had with Mahomes over the years you know how close the gap between 1 and 2 truly is.


1. Patrick Mahomes

If you pick anyone over Mahomes let me know cause I wanna try whatever drugs you're taking.


New rankings will be released after week 9.

Movie Theaters Haven't Lost There Way, We Have (Movies)

           If you keep up to date with modern big business speak you may have just heard the term survive till 2025. This is an indication of a business in a bit of a panic with the slim hope of an optimistic future. The business is the movies, more specifically the business is movie theaters. Yes they still exist all around you and they are at war. The war isn’t being fought in the streets, it's being fought on picket lines and against your very home entertainment system. The one you say sounds just as good as the movie theater. Before you worry this is not an article of financial numbers, this is an article undeniably of feeling. Because that’s what movie houses are a place of feelings, numbers would just get in the way. To understand why movies find themselves in such turmoil it might be more important first to understand why the consumer has turned away from the stalwart of entertainment. Firstly there is simply an easier option, whether it’s netflix or paramount plus the opp
