PHILADELPHIA – There’s plenty to discuss in the NFL between the draft and the opening of training camps this summer with the schedule release, and on-field OTAs and minicamps headlining the substantive.
The passion of football fans always demands more, however, and that void is often filled by what I’ve dubbed “List Season.”
On-air the goal has always been to explain that no list by anyone compiling it is worthy of a Congressional investigation. They are full of personal opinions and biases and are usually not exactly backed by the kind of significant research and testing worthy of peer review.
They are like the New England weather, if you don’t like one wait five minutes for the next.
There are themes, though, and an NFL.com “QB Index” of self-admitted “way-too-early top-10 MVP candidates” under center has Jalen Hurts absent from a top 10 that includes all the obvious candidates that should be ahead of the Eagles’ quarterback as well as some curious projections designed to generate the interest this kind of stuff is created to do.
