“NFL REPORT CARDS-GRADING ON A CURVE”
=========
Oh how bizarre, the outcome of the NFL Union’s Player report card vote by over (1700) NFL players for the 2025-season.
Everyone has an opinion, even if it is the wrong one.
Follow me on some of the tallies:
BEST RUN ORGANIZATION…
1) Miami…dysfunctional as owner Steven Ross has made the team..you know the team that fired its coach, is dumping players right and left and trying to get rid of its QB after getting rid of their top WR. What kind of team will they be without Tua or Tyreek….2) Washington..not a bad call considering the growth in just a couple of short years under Josh Harris-of course anything is better than the toxic workplace environment that existed in the Dan Snyder regime…3)..Minnesota…Bit of a surprise considering the firing of the GM and the up and down years they have had….32)..Steelers..So much for tradition and the icon status of the Rooney family-though this is all about infrastructure-facilities and the draft.
OWNERS..
A) Raiders-Mark Davis-yes that guy, who has composite record of (131-242) since the 2002 season-guess he bought those votes with his signings…A-) Chargers-Dean Spanos-18 winning seasons in 38-years of ownership-bet he doesn’t know many of his player’s names…A) Jets-Woody Johnson…You have to be kidding me…B+) Rams-Stan Kroenke..Not sure I understand this-his money built that stadium-his expertise hired that front office..his leadership is the reason they are so good..a recluse-maybe just not around at all….D) Steelers-Art Rooney…Old school no longer works-see if they change.
GM..
A) Rams-Les Sneed..Scoreboard does not lie does it…B+) Chargers Joe Hortiz..Lots of in-season wins…but 0-for-postseason…D) Bengals-Duke Tobin-on the job since 1999-gifted Joe Burrow-not much accomplished aside from that.
COACHES..
A+) Rams-Sean McVay-look at all the accomplishments over an 8-year run since arriving in LA… Washington-Dan Quinn-not a bad call despite a messy season a year ago with injury after injury…A)..Niners-Kyle Shanahan-some accomplishment of a season with all those injuries…There were some odd high rankings ..Bengals-Zac Taylor..not held in blame for bad drafts-contract disputes and bad seasons. Saints-Kellen Moore..Quite an honor-bumpy road and all in his first year A-) Bills-Sean McDermott…Guess ownership did not ask the players how they felt before they fired him…Down the list C+) Chargers-Jim Harbaugh-second year in a row a shadow from his players…Raiders-Pete Carroll…One-and-done-did not get much love from players
COORDINATORS…
A) Chargers for Def Coord-Jesse Minter-since departed…D) for Off Coor Greg Roman-since fired.

The rankings covered lots of areas of questions.
Here’s how Chargers players voted about their own organization
Read it and weep…Read it and take it for what it is worth.
