## Resource

The quarterback position is not always royalty. For every Josh Allen talking Super Bowl , there are so many others lost in the wilderness. OTAs and minicamp expose those broken compasses, too. We’ve got a fresh new episode of “Real Football” live for subscribers. I ding record from the excellent Union 32 Craft House in Eagan, Minn. For those new to Go Long, my co-host — Jim Monos — scouted for the Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills. These days, he heads up personnel for the UFL. Hell no, he’s not backing off his scalding “Dime a Dozen Joe” take. He doesn’t see Jerry Rice as anything that historic, either. With that, we’re off ‘n running. * We dive back into Kyler Murray vs. J.J. McCarthy fodder. This 2026 Vikings “battle” brings us back to a quarterback competition Monos oversaw in Buffalo: the 2015 Bills. Is McCarthy already on an EJ Manuel trajectory? There are always red flags to spot. * Don’t look now, but the Cleveland Browns have a good thing going. And then you take a look at their quarterback competition and cannot help but sigh. It’s been ages since Deshaun Watson hypnotized defenses. His confidence has obviously been shot. How does this all end? * Masseuse confidential. I recall a story from one former NFL general manager. When he heard those accusations against Watson, his mind raced back to his team’s “massage therapist.” * Brendan Sorsby Mania. You know we’ve got to talk #gambling in football. The NCAA is toothless. My co-host also reached out to people in the NFL to see how the league views the Texas Tech quarterback. * With this horrible precedent set, could the NFL have a similar gambling problem? * The Arizona Cardinals will start someone at quarterback. It doesn’t matter who. But I’ve determined we need Monos to fly to the south…
