2024 NFL offseason notebook: Brock Purdy still disrespected; why Titans could be surprise playoff contender

Unpacking a few storylines going into the spring

The draft is done. Free agency has quieted. The schedule is on the way. It's time to look ahead in the NFL, with training camps and the 2024 season next to approach. So let's unpack a little Friday notebook, with some new and lingering thoughts on spicy quarterback situations and a potential sleeper for the new year:

We dropped our first post-draft edition of 2024 Quarterback Power Rankings this week, and easily the most divisive choice was slotting Brock Purdy at No. 2, behind only Patrick Mahomes. Let me start by saying these pecking orders never satisfy everyone, and that makes total sense, because it all depends on your criteria. If I'm starting an NFL team tomorrow, for example, of course I'd rather have the physical gifts of, say, Josh Allen. And, yes, maybe Kyle Shanahan would rather have Josh Allen as the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback. Imagine what a signal-caller like Allen might do there, with all those weapons and all that favorable scheming.
