That he's just this wonderful 38 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 3: player and he can do no wrong, and oh, he's 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: the best player in the NBA, and we love him 40 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 3: so much, and he's AUNT and he's this and that 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: he lives rent free in my head. And we've we've 42 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: we've had stories here in the last couple of weeks 43 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 3: leading up to the start of the season that the 44 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 3: members of the organization obviously feel the same way about 45 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 3: Aunt that I do, and but fans get blinded because 46 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: they don't want to think there's any negatives with any players, 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 3: especially the star players, and with Aunt there is that 48 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's an immaturity level, but not 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: wanting to play. 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: They have to say to him. 51 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: They had a meeting and said, we need you to 52 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: play defense all the time, start to finish, because he 53 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 3: doesn't always want to play defense. 54 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to do that. He doesn't want to 55 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: do this. 56 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: And so I is as immensely talented as he is, 57 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: and he is a top ten player in the league. 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: He didn't get enough sleep, he admitted, I you know 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: I don't get enough. Well, you got to take your 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: job seriously, dud, especially at this level. I don't need 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 3: to take my job seriously because I don't change lives. 62 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: I save lives. 63 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: But if you're in the NBA and getting paid that 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: ton of money, man, and you want to get to 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: the NBA, and he realizes now he needs I mean, 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: he says, well, they asked, what are you going to 67 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: do to stay interested? Well, maybe I'll just try to 68 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: have career highs in scoring. I would just try to 69 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: win a lot of basketball games. As good as he's been, 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: he's also been part of their issue, the reason they 71 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: can't advance and the reason they are the sixth seed. 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Now, even though they were the sixth seed, they got 73 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: to the. 74 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: Western Conference finals last two years, the year before or 75 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: we were the third seed. I don't even remember now, 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: third or fourth. Last year we were the sixth. We 77 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: still got to the finals. So the seeding didn't we. 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: Were at the six detail like the last day. Remember 79 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: we were in that play in range exactly. And so 80 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: if he is able to do those things, play defense, 81 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: start to finish, if he's if he's able to to 82 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: not take too much. I mean, every guy's going to 83 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: take off a player too. 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: I guess it's just that is you know, you know, 85 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 3: it's it's it's it's it is a very. 86 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Grueling is the right. It takes a 87 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: lot of energy. 88 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: It takes a lot of efforts up and down the court, 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: back and forth, back and before you're playing offense and defense, right, 90 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: and so, but if he but if he can play 91 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: defense like they say he's capable of, if he can 92 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: develop that mid range jump shot, if he can, if 93 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: he cannot get frustrated when teams are double team him 94 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 3: and all the time and taking him out of the 95 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: game offensively, There's no reason why I don't think the 96 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: team can't at least get back to the Western Conference Finals. 97 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: But I think it all depends on and we talked 98 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: yesterday with Rosen, so much of it I think depends 99 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 3: on Randal. Can Randall stay healthy and can he play 100 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 3: those last what twenty four to twenty five games whatever 101 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: it was, he was brilliant. If he can play like that, 102 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: this team should be really, really good. So I'll I'll 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 3: say semifinals for sure, and I'll give him Western Conference 104 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 3: Finals until they get to the NBA Finals. 105 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm not picking them to get there. How about you? 106 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: Do you have a I agree with Patrick Roycie's call 107 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: him today in the start of viewing that I think 108 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: a lot of this depends on Dilly Dilly, just because 109 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: you lost Nah, right, and you lost a little bit 110 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: of your depth, and now you're depending on young guys 111 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: to replace that. I will say what I do like is, 112 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: for the most part, this team's now coming back for 113 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: a second year, right. Yeah, the team made a big 114 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: jump in Rudy Gobert's second year with the team once 115 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: they got the Twin Towers figured out, and then they 116 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 2: traded Karl Anthony Towns the week before the season, and 117 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: it took them, you know, half a season, two thirds 118 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: of the season to find the chemistry. Now you're kind 119 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: of bringing that back for a second year. And I 120 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: do see a scenario which Ant gets better. But I 121 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: do think guys like Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Junior are 122 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: going to determine a lot from a depth standpoint because 123 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 2: you're going to take down okay see in the playoffs, 124 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: You're gonna have to have depth. 125 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: I think that's spot on. 126 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 4: Charlie's shin number two waiting for it's time for. 127 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: The seventh inning stretch. 128 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Dodgers four ace pitchers, Blake Snell, Yoshinobu, 129 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: I can't even say. 130 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Yoshinobu, Ya Momoto. 131 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Tyler Glass Now, and Shoho Tani have combined for a 132 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: one point four oh e ra A and eighty one 133 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: strikeouts over their ten postseason starts. 134 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: Is that good?

Against Purdue, Gophers 188 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: gave up something like two hundred and thirty eight yards 189 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 3: I don't remember the exact number, somewhere in that vicinity, 190 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 3: and they only rushed for I don't know, thirty or 191 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: forty yards. Opposite, they ran rough shot over Nebraska and 192 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: held the corn Huskers to a double digit amount. And 193 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 3: I think it was again it was almost the exact 194 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: same numbers as foot flooded after the game. 195 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: The golden goler faithful storm the field. 196 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 3: And there are those that would mock and ridicule those 197 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: that storm the field have some standards. It's only Nebraska, 198 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: twenty fifth ranked team that goes to show you where 199 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 3: this program is blah blah blah, blah blah blah. And 200 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: I never bought into that. See, I don't think people 201 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: think it through. They're just so quick to rip right now. 202 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: If it's Alabama, yeah, you pick and choose your spots. 203 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: To it's Ohio State. If it's Ohio State, you pick 204 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: and choose your spots. If you're. 205 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 3: What are some of the other legendary football schools, well, 206 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: you know, I'm Clemson, whatever the case may be, the 207 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 3: ones that have that have won national championship. 208 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: But you got to. 209 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 3: Remember here, here's what I think the people that criticize that, 210 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: most of those people work in the media or they're 211 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: involved in sports, means so much to them, they pay 212 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: such close attention to it that to them. 213 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: It's silly to storm. 214 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: The field after what's really not that big of a 215 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: deal to beat a twenty fifth right Nebraska club. But 216 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: these are college kids. Most of them were at the game, 217 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: had no idea. They were even at a Minnesota Golden 218 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: Golfer games. It didn't matter to them. They're just there 219 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 3: as part of the college experience. Tend to be the 220 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: campus experience. Hey we got a game tonight, We're playing Nebraska. 221 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 3: Let's go watch and you win, and you all look 222 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 3: at each other and go, let's go storm the field. 223 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: They they don't have any idea anything about Nebraska. 224 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: They don't know anything. They're just having fun. 225 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 3: And it almost seems like people are outraged by it. 226 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: How dare you storm the field? 227 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: It's because they're college because they're doing it just because 228 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: it's fun to do. They they don't, like I say, 229 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: they don't know if the game, you know, how how 230 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: important it was or unimportant it was, or anything of 231 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: that nature at all. It's just if the Viking crowds 232 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: storm the field after a game, like let's say they 233 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 3: were able to beat you know, since like when they 234 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 3: beat Cincinnati forty eight ten, that would be embarrassing. They 235 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: don't storm fields in pro football, but that would be embarrassing. 236 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: Don't wait that know better? But when you're a cut 237 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: do you agree with me there? That? 238 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 3: I just it's to me, it's it's the kids are 239 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: just having fun. It's something to do. 240 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: On a Friday night after the game. 241 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who you beat, how you beat them, 242 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: when you beat them, it's just having fun. 243 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: To me, I think it's it's more of a statement 244 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: on the. 245 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: People that criticize the because you just don't understand that 246 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: they don't have a full grasp of what it is. 247 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: College kids as our college duds. They don't know. I 248 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: they're ever gonna get that chance. Again. 249 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: That's the other thing too, you know, there's this It's 250 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 3: the same way as why do kids on Halloween. I 251 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: don't know if they do it anymore, toilet paper houses, 252 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: smash pumpkin soap windows. Why would you do it just 253 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: because it's something you do? And as you mentioned, Gopher 254 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 3: fans don't get to do it much and they probably 255 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: went that looks like fun, let's go stall on the field. 256 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it. Well I'm not. 257 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: I'm not convinced it's only students, right, I'm sure they 258 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: are the ones initiating it. Who do you think he 259 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: also do well? I just I just know in the 260 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: past I've seen you know, I think JG. Once I 261 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: think he might have done it as a court storming 262 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: for the basketball team. Once he's a grown adult, and 263 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 2: he stormed the court after a big Gopher basketball win, 264 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 2: an upset victory. 265 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: You're making that up pretty sure? He did justin gard Yeah. Who, 266 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: by the way, he went to Iowa, Well, he went 267 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: to like five schools. He he didn't storm the court. 268 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: Ultimately, Like, I'm not passionate either way on this. To 269 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 2: get angry about it. And I also I think you 270 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: bring up a good point of the people storming the 271 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: field have a different in all likelihood that have a 272 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: different perspective than I do. Right, we're not looking through 273 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: the same like I do. From my standpoint, I do go, 274 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of embarrassing. The only time we 275 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: can ever storm the field is when we beat a 276 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: twenty fifth ranked team, right, and that it does say 277 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: something about where we are at as a school and 278 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: what our standards are and what our expectations are. But 279 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: I would also say, how many of those college kids 280 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: I'd like to think a decent percentage of or from 281 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: the state of Minnesota that are going to the Merchantmanises. 282 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: But they're not all Minnesota kids. They don't all they 283 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: haven't all been beaten down with Minnesota sports like the 284 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: rest of us, right, that have been around for a 285 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: long time, so they have different perspectives than my perspective. 286 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: I would never get like angry about it. I'm not 287 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: passionate about it. I don't think I would do it 288 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: because it's it's kind of I love it. 289 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 3: If I was If I was, if I was a 290 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: student at the U and had a couple thirteen fourteen, 291 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: I'd storm on the field and go with everybody else. 292 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: I might not initiate it or instigate it, but if 293 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 3: a couple of kids start going, I'm in why not. 294 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: I would compare it to a little bit too. 295 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: And I think you and I are in agreeance on this, 296 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: Like the Hall of Fame should be for the elite 297 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: of the elite, right, and sometimes a lot of these 298 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: sports they're letting in guys that were good players, that 299 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: had good careers, but shouldn't be what I would call 300 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: hall of famers. I have the same standard for putting 301 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: a jersey up in the rafters. I think it should be, 302 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: you know, in a super elite player that you speak 303 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: in hollowed, hushed tones about. And I guess that's where 304 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: I now lie on the storming of the courts, storming 305 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: in the field. To me, you should be beating a 306 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: top five team before you're doing it. Yeah, I guess 307 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: we have, but I'm not angry enough to get mad 308 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: about it. 309 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 3: But way, we just to part ways because again, you're 310 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: not there, you're not part of the student body, you're 311 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: not nineteen years old. 312 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: So really I acknowledge I have a different perspective that 313 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: I do. 314 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: Yes, this one, this one right here says it best. 315 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: And of course I'm reading it because the verbally slapping 316 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: on me on the back esoteric comment. Right again, drink 317 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: some beers, go to the game with their friends, storm 318 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 3: the field, go party some more. 319 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: Fun, fun fund That's what it's about. 320 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: It's not like that the students were actually trying to 321 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: make a statement, say we're one of. 322 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: The best teams in the country. Look at this. They 323 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: would just say, let's storm the field. It's cool.

So it's got like it's not all 400 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: like I'm just taking the show off. Got to schedule 401 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: of tea. 402 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: Time are you playing? You're not playing a golf tomorrow?

You could do in 405 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: a while Cody Benjamin Rights for CBS Sports, and we 406 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 3: have we refer to some of his some of his 407 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: pieces in the past, This one tend and be here's 408 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: the headline. Did the Vikings botch their quarterback situation? Reassessing 409 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 3: Minnesota is now bumpy bet average on JJ McCarthy, comma 410 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: backup plans. Benjamin Rights and again I will pick through 411 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 3: this because it's a rather lengthy piece. It's usually tell 412 00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 3: how many minutes it takes to read. This is a 413 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 3: seven minute reads, so I'm not going to read the 414 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: whole thing. But he takes a deep dive into the Vikings. 415 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 3: So we're nearing the midway point of the twenty twenty 416 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: five season, and the Vikings may soon be on their 417 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: third starting quarterback of the year. Kevin O'Connell confirmed as 418 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 3: much of this week, admitting an undrafted rookie Max Brozeman 419 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 3: as an option in the event Carson Wentz can't stand 420 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 3: the field as JJ McCarthy's replacement. 421 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: Just like the Vikings drew it up right. 422 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: Of course, not a year ago, at this time, not 423 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 3: a single one of Minnesota's three signal callers was active 424 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 3: for the team. McCarthy was covering from a tormaniscus that 425 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: a racist entire rookie season. Wentz was on the k 426 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: C Chiefs bench as mahomes backup. Brozeman was throwing passes 427 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 3: for the golden goal first. Yet somehow these three also 428 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 3: represent the vikings current remaining hopes for a playoff push 429 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 3: one year after Sam Darnold through thirty five tuddies and 430 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 3: route to fourteen wins in a flirtation with the NFC's 431 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 3: number one postseason seed. 432 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: Where did it all go wrong? 433 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 3: And should the Vikings really be like I am bastard 434 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: for the fact that it did says the season is 435 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: out over, Yet they're three and three, hardly a death 436 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 3: knell wins his flash into the big play arm that 437 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 3: once made him a regular starter. McCarthy authored a strong 438 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: prime time finish prior to the ankle spring. 439 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: Even broz Mur drew high marks for. 440 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 3: His season composure, suggesting he'd be a William Warrior if 441 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 3: called upon. Yet the Vikings will be fortunate to keep 442 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 3: pace with the rest of the NFC North at this rate. 443 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: The Lions are still a. 444 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 3: Powerhouse, green Bay might be two, and the Bears have 445 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: won four straight games. In Bullet point four, it says, First, 446 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 3: the Vikings declined to enter a bidding war for Darnold, 447 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: who sunk under pressure in the final two games of 448 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, but captained an explosive offense for much 449 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 3: of his first year in town. 450 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: And he's now doing with as he is now doing 451 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks. In some ways his mirror. 452 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 3: This mirror of the club's polite refusal to pay big 453 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 3: bucks to Kirk Cousins the year prior. 454 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,719 Speaker 1: Right they didn't want to pay Cousins, they didn't want 455 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: to pay Darnold. 456 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: At the same time, the Vikings also declined the interbedding 457 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 3: war for Danny Jones, the ex New York Giants cast 458 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 3: off who finished the twenty twenty four season on. 459 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota's practice squad. 460 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: Jones now looks like a major bargain for the Colts 461 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 3: after signing a modest deal, suggesting the Vikings only viewed 462 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 3: him as a. 463 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: True plan B. 464 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 3: And as the offseason war on, the Vikings gave mixed 465 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: signals about interest in Aaron Rodgers, their longtime Packers' rival, 466 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: repeatedly championing McCarthy's potential while leaving the door open for 467 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: the veteran in the end, Rogers put pen to paper 468 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 3: with the Steelers, who were unafraid to court the former MVP. 469 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: Not a single one of these moves was entirely objectional 470 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: at the time. Then it talks about. 471 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: Was a legitimate gunslinger, but his end of the season 472 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 3: flame out was drastic. Jones would have been an even greater, 473 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 3: albeit cheaper gamble after struggling to stay healthy. No one 474 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 3: had piked him for such a sharp indie breakout. Ann Rogers, 475 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 3: though very accomplished, was forty one years old coming off 476 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: two bruised and sluggish seasons, with the Jets banking on 477 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 3: him rediscovering high level form, would have also been going 478 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 3: all in on twenty twenty five, effectively red shirting McCarthy 479 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 3: for half of his initial rookie season. 480 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: But it goes on to talk about and said the 481 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Bikings went there out. 482 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 3: They took after a half a decade of solid, if 483 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: unspectacular work from Cousins, they said thanks, but no, thanks 484 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 3: to proven commodities, and decided to go with the young kid. 485 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 3: No one questioned the decision eternally, especially not McCarthy's teammates, 486 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: who kept pointing to the veterans' support at the skills spots, 487 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 3: the bolstered line featuring new starters and Kelly and Fries, 488 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 3: the exotic defense, the proven culture building of O'Connell. McCarthy 489 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: himself called the Vikings stacked in an interview with CBS Sports, 490 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 3: said this entire plan hinged on McCarthy's play not being 491 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 3: so uneven and McCarthy's staying on. 492 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: The playing field. 493 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: The twenty two year old looked twenty two like an 494 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 3: unofficial rookie in his first two starts of the season, 495 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: struggling to find a sustainable rhythm through the air. Even 496 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: before he was revealed to have suffered an ankle injury, 497 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 3: McCarthy already seemed in danger of seating snaps to Wentz, 498 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 3: who arrived late as the top backup. 499 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: Early career hiccups are absolutely not a problem. 500 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 3: If the Vikings are intent on playing this slowly, affording 501 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: their new point guard the patients he might very well require. 502 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 3: That's a fine approach to take, and it's one plenty 503 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: of rebuilding teams have exercise, declining to put the weight 504 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: of the NFL world on a first time starter shoulders. 505 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 3: It's just not the approach of Conlin Company seemed to 506 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 3: be taking by suggesting they could transition from proven arms 507 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 3: like Darnold and previous Kirk previously Kirk cousins, instilling up 508 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: in the thick of the NFC post season conversation. Look, 509 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: some quarterback can turn around and help a franchise stay 510 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 3: afloat Flacco as their be planned to Burrow. But the 511 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 3: Bengals had Joe Burrow as their plan a, the Vikings 512 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 3: had McCarthy a total unknown. Did they grossly miscalculate the 513 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 3: stability or lack thereof Sam Howell, the backup they are 514 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 3: acquired from the Commanders. Did they also need all summer 515 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 3: to determine they'd botch that bet? And why wait until 516 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 3: late April to make the gamble at all? Is it 517 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 3: because neither adopha Menzo or O'Connell could make up their 518 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 3: minds regarding the last second pursuit of Rogers, who didn't 519 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 3: actually sign with the Steelers until June. We don't know 520 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 3: how the rest of the year will play out, but 521 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, a one year Rogers deal doesn't 522 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: seem like it would have been such a bad idea 523 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 3: if the infrastructure was so rich. After all, imagine where 524 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 3: a rod might have Minnesota at this juncture, and imagine 525 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: how much rich sure McCarthy might be from watching and learning. 526 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 3: But no, the Vikings played a different hand. Why ruin 527 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 3: McCarthy's chance of claiming the franchise for himself and laying 528 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 3: the foundation for a long run as the guy just 529 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: to hope an aging has been can go the distance 530 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 3: before retiring. It turns out the choice to let JJ 531 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 3: go unchallenged as the new number one just might ruin 532 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: any playoff chances. 533 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: Gambles are gambles. 534 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 3: Even if they make sense in the moment, they might 535 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 3: not pan out as precisely what Minnesota is feeling at 536 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 3: this moment. 537 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 2: Now. 538 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 3: The Vikings are hoping at least for the sake of 539 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: what's left the twenty five, but perhaps also the prospects 540 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: beyond that. Someone also the prospects beyond that, someone, anyone 541 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 3: emerges to make it all right. And so it's what 542 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 3: you and I have talked about ten to be ever 543 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 3: since they let Sam Darnald go. Was that the right 544 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: decision to make? You had a guy everybody's searching for 545 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 3: franchise quarterback. 546 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time. 547 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 3: Everybody's looking for franchise quarterback. Sam Darnald was a franchise quarterback. 548 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 3: After last year he took a team to fourteen and three. 549 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 3: His numbers were spectacle there. I know, I get the 550 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 3: Lions game that was bad. Mayfield just had a terrible 551 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: game against Detroit. He Mayfield did exactly what what Donald 552 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 3: did against the Rams against Detroit the other so how 553 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: many times he overthrew wide receivers, just over through wide receivers. 554 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 3: You know he Benjamin talks about in this piece about 555 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 3: about you know he he he brought up the reasons 556 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 3: why you wouldn't go in that direction, right, you know, 557 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 3: the the idea that now Donald was skittish. He cost 558 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: a lot of money, he was kiddish in that game 559 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 3: against Detroit. Nobody knew for sure. I don't think anybody 560 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: could have predicted Danny Dimes was going to be this good, right, 561 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: I mean, he's. 562 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: Been, he he's he's he he looked he's looked this 563 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: year after how bad he played when he first started, 564 00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: he was he was. 565 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 3: Like Donald, right, Darnold was awful in his first three years, 566 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden he looked brilliant. Danny 567 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 3: Dimes was pretty bad in his first couple three years 568 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 3: and he looked brilliant or to this point he has anyways, 569 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: for the most part. And then the Rogers thing, you 570 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 3: and I both said, yeah, part of it was selfish 571 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 3: as a media standpoint, doing a talk show five days 572 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: a week, and be fun to have a Rodger with 573 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: the ayahuasca stuff and the darkness retreat and the revenge factor. 574 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, imagine if he beats Green Bay this week, 575 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna say that was nice to beat 576 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: in an organization. 577 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 3: I thought I didn't have any football left, just like 578 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 3: you said about the Jets, right, and that would have 579 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: been fun. And there's no guarantee that Rogers, you know, 580 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: at forty one years old, but he's played pretty good 581 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 3: for the Steelers. Now, I don't know if if he 582 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 3: put him on. 583 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if he had this in him, so 584 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: that that was the kind of the question during the ass. 585 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: The other one, and we don't know again, if he 586 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 3: was here, it's a different situation than Pittsburgh. You know, 587 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 3: I would think, at least on paper, look at the 588 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: Vikings were better team than Pittsburgh topped about him, but 589 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. And then the Vikings suffered some some 590 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 3: to me an offensive, the offensive line issues. But but 591 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 3: I don't you know, the headline is is definitely one 592 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 3: of those clickbait ones. Did the Vikings botch their quarterback situation? 593 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 3: Reassessing Minnesota's now bumping bet on JJ McCarthy and backup plans? 594 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: But it is worth exploring, and the questions are fair. 595 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 3: I think Tennaby, I you know, did. I think it's 596 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: too early to say they botched anything. 597 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: It does take. 598 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 3: Quarterbacks, you know, people will will as we've been debating 599 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 3: the quarterback situation about play McCarthy, your play wins, play McCarthy, 600 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 3: play wins? 601 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: Who do you play right? It's obvious. I don't think 602 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: it's just the injury. 603 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: I think the coach he's talked in the last two 604 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 3: weeks about trying to get and I'm these aren't the exact. 605 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: Quotes or or or or or the words or the phrases. 606 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 3: That O'Connell's been using, but it's about it's that old 607 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 3: getting the feet and the eyes align and getting that foundation. 608 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 3: And he said he thinks that McCarthy probably learned quite 609 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: a bit from watching Whence about the value of getting 610 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 3: rid of the football, you know, not hanging on to it. 611 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 3: It's like, well, okay, he should have saw that last 612 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 3: year because Donald was pretty good at that. 613 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: Now, Donald had his issues as well. He wasn't perfect. 614 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 3: But I do wonder if they thought they would And again, 615 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 3: he did get hurt and he's only played two games. 616 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 3: Seven quarters were awful, one was really good. But did 617 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 3: they miss calculate Maybe not McCarthy might end up being 618 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 3: a franchise quarterback and being a great qv lead the 619 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 3: team to postseason, maybe heaven forbid, even win a big game, right, 620 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 3: But maybe they. 621 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: The guy for Green Bays. 622 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 3: After three years before he played, Aaron Rodgerson for three 623 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 3: years before he played. 624 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Did they expect too much? 625 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: Did they think that we can we think highly enough 626 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 3: of McCarthy where he's at right now at twenty two 627 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: years old. That and then with what we can do 628 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 3: with them our system, you know, we can coach him 629 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 3: up and turn them into a Jade. 630 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: And Daniels right away. Maybe that's what they thought, and 631 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: maybe they miscalculated that. 632 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, at the very least, because of his age, 633 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: they probably should have had a better second option, and 634 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: obviously they inquired about many of those options. 635 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: During this past offseason. 636 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 2: But you know, we're always, if football is always, we 637 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 2: need answers immediately right like you need you got, You 638 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 2: have people texting you. We need to see what we 639 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: got with JJ McCarthy when there are so many examples, 640 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: as you've mentioned the two Packers guys, or even a 641 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: lot of the names you've already brought up. You brought 642 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: up Baker Mayfield, you brought up Sam Darnold, you brought 643 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 2: up Daniel Jones. These are all guys that failed in 644 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 2: their first stints with their the with the teams that 645 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: drafted them, and it took him five six years in 646 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: the league before they started producing at the levels they 647 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: are now. And JJ McCarthy at the time we drafted 648 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 2: him was twenty one years old. He was the youngest 649 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 2: quarterback in that league. Bo Knicks was twenty four, Michael 650 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 2: Pennix Junior was twenty four. They had five six years 651 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 2: of college football where they were more pro ready, and 652 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 2: we probably should have always taken a long term look 653 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 2: at JJ McCarthy, But that would also say, well, then 654 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 2: we should have had another quarterback there as either competition 655 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: or as a backup in case he isn't ready. Now 656 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: we also don't know if he isn't ready because he's 657 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: played so sparingly. Right, Our optimism about JJ McCarthy going 658 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 2: into the season was off of one half of preseason 659 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 2: football we saw last year, and now all the negativity 660 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: on JJ McCarthy currently is off of eight quarters. 661 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: And I agree that for twenty twenty five. 662 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm not super encouraged about where the season is going 663 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: to go, which is why I said, hey, I would 664 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 2: place if Carson WENTZ get you the best chance and win. 665 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: Now you play him. 666 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 2: You can still go to J J McCarthy at a 667 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: later date, But yeah, they probably should have had a 668 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 2: better second backup option than you know, Sam Howell. 669 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: A couple of text messages have come in on the brands, 670 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: Ryan Kfe. 671 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 3: And text line this says, it all goes back to 672 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 3: the philosophy of building while staying competitive. They think they 673 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 3: can still win at a high level of developing a 674 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 3: young QB, so they loaded up with risky free agents 675 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 3: and threw JJ out there before he was ready and 676 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 3: hoped it would work. That kind of sums it up 677 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 3: because if you remember Tennebee, that was that was the 678 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 3: phrase that that Quazy used, a competitive rebuild, a competitive rebuild. 679 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: And you and I. 680 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 3: We went, who whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you 681 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 3: talking about? We thought, if you're going to rebuild, you've 682 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 3: got to tear it down to the studs. But I'll 683 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 3: tell you what competitive rebuild worked for this club. That 684 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 3: first year they went four even three with Cousins. 685 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: Then this was thirteen and four, three, and then and 686 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: then they had the seven and nine season. 687 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: Then they came back, they bring in Donald and they 688 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,919 Speaker 3: go fourteen and three, and then I think I think 689 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 3: the text messager the listener sums it up quite well. 690 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 3: It's that competitive rebuilding. Maybe they and and this isn't 691 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 3: to say to give up. I still remember the text 692 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 3: message about a week ago said that, you know, the 693 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 3: way you interpreted what I was saying was to give 694 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 3: up on JJ McCarthy because I thought I'd play once 695 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 3: a couple more weeks, just to see where it goes. 696 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 3: Because McCarthy looks so bad. No one's given up on McCarthy. 697 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 3: He's a talented kid. But you know, again, like you say, 698 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 3: he's young, twenty two, I'll go back to playing for Michigan. 699 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: I know we made a lot of big throws, but 700 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: that was a. 701 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 3: Run first team and a lot of times when you're 702 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 3: throwing when the other team is expecting a run, it 703 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 3: makes it a lot easier. But we'll see you got 704 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 3: a couple of other text messages to get to as well. 705 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 3: We'll take a break, we'll come back. It's been a 706 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: fast paced, action packed, controversial common Band program, but what's new. 707 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 3: But we'll continue the show after the other side of 708 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 3: the break. Here on the common Man Program on the 709 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 3: on the Fan
