NFL Week 5 Recap: Why are there so many bad NFL coaches?

Kevin Clark recaps everything that happened in Week 5 and asks why there aren't any good coaches in the NFL anymore. Starting in London with the Jets & Vikings... Aaron Rodgers is not washed. So where does this Jets team go from here? He can't do enough to make them a legitimate AFC contender. The Browns have way too much invested in Deshaun Watson to bench him. The Bengals are the worst good team - they're like the weird younger brother of the Dallas Cowboys. They both draft really well but neither maximizes their roster. Sean McDermott? Not pre-fired.

Week 4 NFL Recap: Jayden Daniels is the real deal, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets need work

Kevin Clark recaps everything that happened in Week 4 in the NFL. Jayden Daniels is this year's C.J. Stroud. He is legitimately good. Caleb Williams is also good... but Kevin would still be sick if he was a Bears fan. Bo Nix needs more work than we thought and so do the Jets. Aaron Rodgers didn't love Robert Saleh's postgame comments and needs to do a lot to make up for the deficiencies of the team. Jets fans deserve better. Anthony Richardson should be blunt with Shane Steichen and advocate for his own health. The vibes in Jacksonville are awful and Trevor Lawrence has lost all his confidence. Caleb Williams won, which is a good thing because we don't want to have the Bryce Young conversation two years in a row. Plus - what was the biggest mistake your team made this year?

Takeaways from Steelers, Patriots & Bills Camp

Kevin Clark spent some time at Patriots camp and explains that rookie Quarterbacks like Drake Maye are not worth judging. He's also not giving up on Bryce Young yet. The Steelers QB competition isn't going to be settled any time soon. Kevin would play both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The Bills are intriguing because Josh Allen is so talented that his value surpasses the need to keep key pieces around him. The goal of the Bills offense this year is to be able to win in any way possible and Allen is capable of doing that. Kevin still doesn't understand why the 49ers would trade Brandon Aiyuk.
