New England had a very mediocre year in 2022. Which will happen until you locate the next best thing that's CLOSE to Tom Brady. Only 1 Brady and he's done.....finally. The Pats have to allow Mac Jones to blossom and grow and be who Nick Saban allowed him to be, isn't this why you ended up drafting him?

The Green Bay Packers just missed and I do mean literally just missed the postseason in 2022. And now they'll soon be Aaron Rodgers-less as they wish to move forward with Jordan Love. There's definitely a shifting of power in the NFC North division and it started last year.

The Commanders where oh so close to a final win loss record of 12-5 in 2022, but as many NFL teams are so very far away from that franchise quarterback they desperately need to push them over that proverbial hump they constantly face right around week 16 each year.

The New York Jets had a weird year in 2022, started out 6-2 & ran into some franchises quarterback maturity issues with Zach Wilson. Finding themselves in a downward spiral losing their final 6 games and missing the postseason yet again. Aaron Rodgers anyone?

A drama filled year in 2022 for the Falcons but when isn’t a season filled with drama in Atlanta? No Matt Ryan, no problem as the Falcons started with former Titans franchise quarterback and former Raiders backup Marcus Mariota. The Falcons would finish the year with number 4, their draft pick Desmond Ridder and that caused Mariota to lead the team.

The Titans weren't my pick to win the AFC South in 2022, neither were the Jaguars which goes to show what I know and after a 7-10 year for the Titans, a new g.m. & possibly a new quarterback, this team has found themselves at the proverbial fork in the road.

So earlier this week Mr. Jones was in fact signed to an extension instead of being franchised tagged and or traded/released. Bottom line, Daniel earned his promotion in New York with The NY GIANTS, the question is however under B. DaBoll will he continue to grow, Excell, prosper and perform?

New Orleans has a championship defense just like Denver does, year in, year out. This yearly moniker won't always be, and just like Denver the offense was public enemy number 1 for New Orleans. Now Carr is in the big easy, let's see how 2023 unfolds this time next year.

The dark cloud that was over the Browns before the DeShaun Watson trade last year got darker and heavier as he was suspended for the first 11 games in 2022. JacCoby Brissett took care of business like a gentleman, a pro and scholar. On and off the field however that wasn't enough for the Browns. While still competitive in most games the Browns still saw their season slowly dwindle down to a losing record [7-10] and another missed opportunity in the yearly January NFL tournament.

Talk about a topsy-turvy up and down season for a franchise in 2022. The Carolina Panthers was one of those teams that experienced a semi-rollercoaster year. I say "semi" because the Panthers were close to a possibility of postseason play but not that close. Franchise quarterback is the number 1 issue for Carolina as they were 1 of 6 teams who finished the year 7-10.
