Philip HughesAug 23, 2026

What Philip Hughes said
Kaliakmanis has clearly outplayed him and appears to be the right quarterback to have behind Daniels and Mariota moving forward.

How each call scored
54 checkable claims — 53 roster spot calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 54 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
49 of 54 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 85.7 for a naive guess at the same calls.
Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
Where this call stands in the room
Athan Kaliakmanis · 2026 season4 calls from 3 pundits between 2 and 3. Philip Hughes said 3. the room's median is 2. not settled yet
