Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen Are Hitting 30, And Their Best Running Days Are Already DONE.

Alright, listen up, 12s, because some wild takes are floating around the NFL right now that got me thinking. We're talking about two of the league's most electrifying runners, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, and the word on the street is their best days with the ball in their hands as runners? Yeah, they're probably already behind them. Both these dudes are gonna be 30 by the end of this season. Thirty! It makes you wonder about the shelf life of these elite running QBs, doesn't it?

The Next Wave of Legitimate Runners?

While those established dual-threat QBs are potentially slowing down, there's a new name popping up in the draft world. Brendan Sorsby is applying for eligibility in the supplemental draft, and you can bet some teams are gonna be buzzing about him. Why? Because his running ability is definitely getting attention. We're always looking for that next game-changer, right? And speaking of runners, J.K. Dobbins is back with Denver, but not before Jacksonville made a real push to sign him in free agency. His absence was clearly felt in the Broncos' ground game last season. Then you've got Alvin Kamara, who's turning 31 next month, and the Saints just shelled out big for Travis Etienne. It's no wonder Kamara's apparently sitting on waivers in some dynasty leagues. Time catches up to everyone eventually. Even a guy like Cam Skattebo is getting some buzz, with folks thinking he's gonna shoot up the draft boards in the July U

Wild Coaches and Wideout Woes

Beyond the backfield, there's some other head-scratching stuff happening. Like, three NFL teams have apparently handed their offensive coordinator duties over to "wildly inexperienced youngsters." You love to see new blood get a shot, but "wildly inexperienced"? That's a gamble! And then there's Aaron Glenn, who had a "laughably bad" first season as the Jets' head coach. Get this: his defense went 17 entire games without recording a single interception. Seventeen games! No wonder the writer isn't a fan. That's just wild. On the receiver front, this year's draft class was strong, with five guys going in the first round. But don't expect miracles from all of them right away. History shows maybe one hits big as a rookie, while others take time. The Cleveland Browns, for instance, are desperate for breakout receivers and drafted two in the top 40 picks in April. Sounds like a lot of pressure on those kids to perform ASAP. It's early in the NFL regular season, and we're seeing these trends emerge. While the Hawks are figuring things out with Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and new OC Brian Fleury under Mike Macdonald, the rest of the league is giving us plenty to chew on. But hey, NFL buzz aside, we've got to keep our eyes on our Mariners too! Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh are holding it down at T-Mobile Park. Let's hope they keep swinging those bats. Don't miss them going for a W tomorrow night. Every game in April sets the tone, right? Go M's!
