On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT calls out how the NFL’s obsession with Super Bowl rings is warping how fans judge quarterbacks, teams, and coaches—while players like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen get written off despite elite play. He explains why Jayden Daniels is built differently than C.J. Stroud and why he won't have a sophmore slump. JT also pushes back on the overreaction to Travis Hunter’s mini-camp struggles. He breaks down why the Steelers are better off without Aaron Rodgers drama, why Nick Sirianni continues to be disrespected, and why the hiring of Ben Johnson makes the new-look Chicago Bears a candidate to go from worst to first in thier divison.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the growing frustration among Auburn fans as Hugh Freeze enters Year 3 with bowl game expectations instead of loftier goals. JT also explains why Florida is closing the gap on Georgia, thanks to DJ Lagway, a loaded offensive line, and proven defensive production. Later in the show, JT questions Tennessee’s Top 25 status given their QB uncertainty, lack of proven receivers, and a thin secondary heading into the 2025 season. Plus, JT evaluates whether Michigan can maintain elite status post-Jim Harbaugh and makes a bold case that Kalen DeBoer might truly be the next Nick Saban.

JT explains why the San Francisco 49ers didn't overpay Brock Purdy, agreeing to a five-year, $256 million extension. Despite not being more talented than quarterbacks like Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence, and Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy has already led San Francisco to four playoff wins and a Super Bowl appearance. JT argues that NFL contracts are based on production—not raw talent—and Brock Purdy has delivered more than several higher-paid peers. He also pushes back on the narrative that any quarterback can thrive in Kyle Shanahan’s system, pointing to past failures like Trey Lance and Nick Mullens as proof.

JT then identifies the Atlanta Falcons as the NFC South favorite—citing a streamlined schedule, five primetime matchups and a breakout campaign for Michael Penix—though he warns that Raheem Morris’s offense must produce to capitalize on it. He previews the Week 1 showdown where the Steelers host former Bear Justin Fields and analyzes how Liam Coen’s Jaguars could clinch the AFC South thanks to a favorable second-half slate. Finally, JT predicts that Shedeur Sanders’s Week 13 start against the 49ers will shape Seattle’s midseason momentum as they chase a playoff berth.

JT then zooms in on Florida’s spring standout Cormani McClain, whose added muscle, elite speed, and refined technique have him on track for a breakout season at cornerback.

He dissects why San Francisco feels trapped into overpaying Brock Purdy despite his four playoff wins that outpace peers like Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert yet may not secure long-term stability. JT breaks down Tom Brady’s early influence on the Raiders, from hiring GM John Spytek and coach Pete Carroll to Geno Smith’s steadier leadership and rookie Ashton Jeanty’s promise to overhaul a rushing attack that ranked last in yards per game. He also highlights why the Panthers are no longer easy opponents, crediting Bryce Young’s fortified supporting cast and a defense strengthened by edge rushers Nic Scourtin and Princely Umanmielen. Finally, JT evaluates the Browns’ odds of cutting Shedeur Sanders—juxtaposing his potential behind Kenny Pickett with the franchise’s incentive to retain a high-profile talent—before affirming that the Steelers’ core remains intact and a full rebuild isn’t necessary.

JT breaks down Michigan’s decision to give head coach Sherrone Moore a two-game suspension in what feels more like a PR move than real punishment, especially considering the soft matchups in Weeks 3 and 4. He also examines why Ty Simpson, while not flashy, is the steady hand Alabama needs in 2025 and why Kalen DeBoer is making the right decision rolling with him as the Crimson Tide QB.

Plus, he reacts to Gavin Sawchuck’s transfer to Florida State and ranks every starting QB from the Nick Saban era at Alabama—from John Parker Wilson to Bryce Young—ranking them based on performance, legacy, and big-game impact.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, Devin Engle from the Here We Go Show joins JT to unpack whether Terry Bradshaw’s long-standing criticisms of Mike Tomlin are finally proving true. Next, JT and Devin explore how Pittsburgh’s expectations have eroded from chasing Super Bowls to settling for mediocrity, and why Tomlin’s reputation among the NFL’s elite coaches may not be as solid as fans assume. JT also questions if Will Howard has the traits to become the Steelers’ franchise quarterback and whether the team’s traditional identity—ground game, defense, and QB plug-ins—still works in today’s league.
