Part of the gated, waterfront community near famed Monarch Beach—about 60 miles south of Los Angeles in Orange County—the residence is a “light and breezy single-level home … reminiscent of California’s mid-century architecture,” according to the listing with Phil Immel of Pacific Sotheby’’s International Realty. 

 

“Monarch Beach is known worldwide as the resort area of Dana Point and is renowned for its numerous amenities, including pristine beaches, fine dining, golf, tennis, hiking and the Dana Point Harbor,” the listing said. The community is called the Monarch Bay Private Beach Club.

"light and breezy" sounds like a women's summer dress description.

Execs, coaches, scouts rank NFL's top 10 quarterbacks for 2023

 

Execs, coaches, scouts rank NFL's top 10 quarterbacks for 2023

By way of refresher, here's how our process works: Voters give us their best 10 players at a position, then we compile the results and rank candidates based on number of top-10 votes, composite average, along with dozens of interviews, research and film-study help from ESPN NFL analyst Matt Bowen. In total, more than 80 voters submitted a ballot on at least one position, and in many cases all positions. We had several ties, so we broke them with the help of additional voting and follow-up calls with those surveyed.

1. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs
2. Joe Burrow, Bengals

3. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Highest ranking: 1 | Lowest ranking: 5
Age: 26 | Last year's ranking: 3

 

Allen has bolstered his case as a top-three quarterback but hasn't quite experienced the breakthrough that feels inevitable.

 

He's well ahead of the quarterbacks ranked Nos. 4-10 in the voting, but he was far behind Mahomes and Burrow.

The prolific scorer has 84 total touchdowns since 2021 (71 passing, 13 rushing). He's the only quarterback in NFL history to record three seasons with at least 35 passing touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns.

 

But his 29 interceptions during that span are the third worst in the league.

 

"His top 20 plays in a game are as good as Mahomes," a national NFL scout said. "But then Buffalo will go nearly a half and do next to nothing. That doesn't happen to Kansas City."

 

Allen was still dominant while under duress in 2022 with a 76.2 QBR when under pressure, nearly 23 points higher than the rest of the quarterback field. His 91.2 third-down QBR also led the league.

 

"If you're starting a team, I'd consider taking him first," an AFC exec said. "He can put a team on his back."

But the Bills ran out of gas in a 27-10 playoff loss to Cincinnati, the culmination of a year marred by injuries and Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest. The offense also was transitioning to first-year coordinator Ken Dorsey.

 

"I think he got worn down mentally and physically at the end of last year," the scout said of Allen. "He had a lot on his plate. They didn't seem as creative without [Brian] Daboll. Some games it felt like they were throwing it 40 or so times, and he was running it another 10 times or more. He just needed help."

4. Aaron Rodgers, Jets
5. Justin Herbert, Chargers
6. Jalen Hurts, Eagles
7. Lamar Jackson, Ravens
8. Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars
9. Dak Prescott, Cowboys
10. Matthew Stafford, Rams

There's a reason why writers of any industry can go on strike and no one will give a shit.

He's a freak.

 

No, seriously.  I know we talk about "farm strength," but I think it's more than that.  I think there's something in his musculoskeletal structure (like exceptionally elastic connective tissue or some shit, I don't know) that enables him to store more bio-mechanical energy and release it more quickly and efficiently.  Because if he were normal, there's no way he should be able to do the shit he does.  

 

So yeah...I think he's way to the right of the bell curve, bio-physically.  He's a freak.

He's gotta take better care of the football this season.  In the pocket, during runs and throwing.
