1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What's up, straight

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Fire Fan, It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Wednesday,

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: August Big Day here on the podcast and in real

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: life for your boy. Obviously, we have a special special guest,

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: a guy I had never talked to in my life

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: before we take the podcast. Chris Sim's former NFL quarterback,

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: former Texas Longhorn. Um, and he's now a big deal

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: over at NBC does some stuff with Mike Florio Pro

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Football Talk. Chris Sims, we chop it up, he he

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: gets um, he gets after it. Let's just say that.

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Chris Simms and I, uh, we spent some time going

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: back and forth on Tom Brady. He's not the hugest

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: Tom Brady fan. I oddly found myself defending Tom Brady

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: a little bit um, but he makes fat valid points. Uh.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: It's a good discussion. I think you guys will like it.

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Um and listen to. Christims is the guy who kind

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: of correctly pegg Patrick Mahomes coming out of teke his

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: tech and um. Now he's very bullish on a gentleman

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: named Kellen Mond, which we don't agree with. Josh Allen,

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: of course, he's very high on Josh Allen. It's it's

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: just a good if you like NFL and you like

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: forward thinking, next level stuff, you're gonna like Chris Simms.

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, I said, it's a

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: big day for your boy. Today, obviously is the MLS

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: All Star Game out here in California. I will be there, um,

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: mostly because the team I'm a part owner of, Nicosa

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: is gonna have a suite there, and so I'll get

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: to meet the rest of the ownership. I know, obviously,

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: the one guy who wrote me into the deal eternally

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: thankful for that. Um. I probably have to Aphim on

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: the podcast at some point. He is just an awesome guy,

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: former NBA agent. He'll be there and a bunch of

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: other ballers that I'm sure I'll be rubbing shoulders with.

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: It'll be fun. I don't know how I'll handle it.

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: This is, you know. I don't want to say, um

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, punching above my weight class showing

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: up at this thing. But there's gonna be some ballers there,

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: and I I'm very excited. I like meeting new people,

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: new new outlooks. I mean, none of these guys know

40
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: me so it should be fun. Overall, I'm very excited

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: for that. A couple of quick sports notes before we

42
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: get to Chris sims Um, Did you guys see this

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 1: Nerlands Noel suing Rich Paul. This is fascinating. Rich Paul,

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: by the way, runs Clutch Sports. Lebron's guy. Rich Paul

45
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: is a huge deal in the NBA and has become,

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, one of the biggest power brokers in

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the league. That's just the reality Nerlands Noel. The story

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: he told is, uh, he he was um, you know,

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: he had a good season in Dallas, and at the

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: start of free agency, his agent, Happy Walter is another

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: big dude, was able to get a four year, seventy

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: million dollar offer from the Mavericks. Four years seventy million dollars.

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: That is retirement money. That is generational wealth for you

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: and your family. Four years seventy million dollars. Yes, even

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: after taxes and agencies and blah blah blah. As he's

56
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: offered that. Nerlands Noel is at a party in l

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: at Ben Simmons birthday party. Rich Paul's there, and Rich Paul,

58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: you know, essentially basically says, hey, come on board. Well,

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: I can I can do better than that? Um? New

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Lands Noel drops his agent signs with Rich Paul. Rich

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: Paul says, hey, you know what the move is. Yes,

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: I can get you one that, but you uh take

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: a small contract now you become an unrestricted free agent

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: next year, and then we get you paid like a big,

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: big money deal. So nor Lands Lowell's seeing dollar sign

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: says yeah, yeah, let's do that. So he sids a

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: one year, four point one million dollar deal. But what

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: happens the next season? He's injured, misses a ton of games. Um,

69
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: the offers don't really materialize, and he has to play

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: on the minimum for two years in Okay. See, So

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: he turns down four and seventy burd in hand with

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the potential pay day down the road, and he claims

73
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: that's because of what Rich Paul advised. Now this could

74
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: get out. Rich Paul is a major power broker. The

75
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: loans nerlens Noel as small potatoes in the NBA. But

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I am very curious to see how this shakes out.

77
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: The other quick little NBA nugget um is that Mike

78
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: Budenholzer got an extension. He got a three year extension

79
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: from the Bucks Budenholzer in the Bucks champions of the NBA,

80
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: and obviously everybody's gonna be laughing like, oh, they're idiots.

81
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: Remember Bodenholzer in that next next series is down to oh,

82
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: everybody had him getting fired. If they lose Game five,

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: it's over. It's over for Buddenholder. They get a little

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: bit luck, Kyrie gets hurt, Katie's foots on the line, YadA, YadA, YadA.

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Budenholzer wins. They beat the Hawks, not the Sixers, and

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: then they don't have to face the Lakers or the Clippers.

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: They both those teams got hurt. They beat the Sons

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: after being down to oh, when Budenholzer gets a new deal,

89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's people laughing, But what are their options?

90
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: You bootenholes are at all the power. You win a championship,

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: regardless of how you got it done, you had the power,

92
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: so they had to extend it. There's no option. Can

93
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: you imagine what signal that sends to the locker room

94
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: if you win the championship and then Bodenholzer is a

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: lame duck coach. You can't do that. That's terrible business.

96
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: They had no option. Now hopefully the money is structured,

97
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: so uh, Bootenholzer is paid up front as opposed to

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: like the back end of the deal. Um. But listen,

99
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks the bootenholders a great coach.

100
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was everybody's writing his death sentence

101
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: multiple times. Uh last season. Um, the Bucks kept him.

102
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: But that's what they had to do. Final little piece

103
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: of news. Um. And this hurts Travis E. T N.

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I've talked way too much about the

105
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: Jags on this podcast. I irrationally like them, and now

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: it feels like I don't know, I don't think I should,

107
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: so they trade them in a linebacker show Bert, I

108
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: think he was led the team in tackles last year.

109
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: They put up a four sale sign on C. J. Henderson,

110
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: who was I think a first round pick last year.

111
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's pretty damn good. Last year limited action, Um,

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: the tebow catastrophe, and now Travis E. T N who

113
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: you basically signed drafted in the first round when you

114
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: had a running back, an undrafted guy go for over

115
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: a thousand yards one of the greatest undrafted running back

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: seasons in the history of the sport for a rookie

117
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: and you draft E t N Like huh, and then

118
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: E t N is down for the season, Like how

119
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: many packages do they have for E t N where

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: he'd be coming out of backfield doing damage? Like absolute

121
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: just totally brutal for the Jags. I'm not going to overreact,

122
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: it's preseason, but man, that hurts. All right? Without further ado,

123
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: let's get to former NFL quarterback and current NBC football

124
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: analyst Chris Sims. Jason likes to think he knows everything

125
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to sports. I know what sports dance want,

126
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: but for everything he doesn't, he knows a guy who does.

127
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Let's just say I know a guy who knows a

128
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: guy who knows another guy. All right, let's welcome into

129
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: straight fire. A high school legend, former college football star

130
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: at Texas. He played in the NFL for several years,

131
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: a third round draft pick of the Bucks. Now he

132
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: is basically spitting hot fire as a media analyst. Chris Simms, Chris,

133
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm doing good? Jason? Thanks a lot, man.

134
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: It's it's not like that often where people go back

135
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: to high school legend as my introduction. So I'll take it.

136
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Those might have been my best years

137
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: of football right there, and I'm not ashamed to say it. Well,

138
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: it's funny. I had to bring that up because my

139
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: first newspaper job was at the Bergen Record in Northern

140
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Jersey and I had got there just as Chris had graduated,

141
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: and all anybody talked about was all Chris Sims. This

142
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: guy light lit it up and he was a legend

143
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: and the Gatorade Player of the Year and everything. And

144
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: then I watched this guy in Texas. I'm like, holy cow,

145
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: he played high school in this area. I'm covering good players. Uh.

146
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: And of course Chris went onto the great career at Texas.

147
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I saw twenty six and six. Holy hell, that was amazing. Yeah,

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: not bad, you know, I think, um, I never lost

149
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: a home game at the University of Texas. We did

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. You know, we were in

151
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: the top five, I think all my last three years

152
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback. But you know, we had Oklahoma

153
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: in our division and we just couldn't beat deb You know,

154
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: it thinks when you're one of the best teams in

155
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: the country and one of the other best teams in

156
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: the country is right in your division, and yeah, they

157
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: had our numbers. So you know, college was awesome, a

158
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: great experience, but that always leaves a little bit of

159
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: a bitter taste in my mouth that we kind of couldn't,

160
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, get to at least the National Championship Game

161
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: while is there? Yeah, no, certainly. But you know, the

162
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: reason I really wanted to bring on Chris because I

163
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: can't think of a guy in the media who has

164
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: really been as hot as anyone in the NFL. Not

165
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: necessarily with predictions, but just the stuff you say in

166
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: the level that you say was in the confidence and

167
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: a lot of it's been accurate. Obviously there's some missus

168
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: that's what we do in this business. But so you've

169
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: really seemed to Chris, do a good job of projecting quarterbacks,

170
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: which is the toughest thing to really do in sports. Well,

171
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: we know in the NBA, well, who's going to pan

172
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: out from college? It's a lot easier at that level, um,

173
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: But in the NFL, man, it's really hard. And you

174
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: were one of the guys that was early on on

175
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and and I'm just curious you put out

176
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: quarterback rankings all the time. Let's just back up to

177
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: what goes into how you get your ranking together. Sure, sure,

178
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean you know when it when it comes first

179
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: off to like evaluating college quarterbacks and doing that and

180
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: ranking them. You know, I think the first place a

181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: lot of people go wrong. And I'm not gonna sit

182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: here and tell you I'm like the greatest evaluator in

183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: the history of football. I mean, when you evaluate a

184
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: lot of players, you're gonna be wrong at times. If

185
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick could be wrong on a player, then damn,

186
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: Chris Sims could be wrong on a player too. But

187
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: but like with quarterbacks, I think too much um sometimes

188
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: spans people in the media, even evaluators, get too caught

189
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: up in the things that aren't necessarily um, the quarterbacks

190
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: fault or the the reason the team is successful because

191
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. You know, everybody gets lost and wins

192
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: and losses and yards and things like that and stats

193
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: of course, and they're just more to the game than that.

194
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, anybody knows that follows football.

195
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, the context of you know, the team, how

196
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: they play, the support around you, the system you're running.

197
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: All those things have to be taken into account to

198
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: then project where that guy is gonna be, you know,

199
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: or hope to be as an NFL football player, and

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: uh that that's I think the biggest thing I do.

201
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: I try to evaluate the player for what he is.

202
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: I didn't look at Sam Donald and go off, man,

203
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: he's at USC and it's so awesome. It's USC and whoa,

204
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: it's all these highlight places and they win a lot

205
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: of big games. Man, he's the best quarterback there is

206
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: no you know, I saw some flaws in the game

207
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: that made me rank him as the third and fourth

208
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: best quarterback. Not that I still think he's a really

209
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: damn good player, but just trying to give some context

210
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: on what I look at. And then you know, Josh

211
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: Allen in that same class, you sit there and go, well, man,

212
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the stats aren't good, they don't win very much. He

213
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: can't be very good. And you know, the honest truth

214
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: of that was, Damn was at a crappy school. He

215
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: was at Damn He had no support. Danny played in

216
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: some games with absolutely horrible weather and offense that did

217
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: no favors from him. Every throw was twenty five yards

218
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: down the field in the twenty wins and all that,

219
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: and you know, you have to be able to try

220
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: to look through some of that stuff. You know, so

221
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: you can really get a true, true picture of what

222
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: the player is and maybe in the future. Well, Alan's

223
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: an interesting one because two years in, Chris, would you

224
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: agree that he didn't didn't look amazing. I think he

225
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: was like fifty completions, very erratic, a lot of fumbles

226
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: and it just seemed like he didn't get it. Something

227
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: clicked and and it's weird. Nobody has totally articulated what

228
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: the hell clicked last year for Alan, but he made

229
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: the jump to lightspeed and was an MVP candidate. A

230
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: lot of it seems to do with Brian Dable, but

231
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: they also got digs outside and it's like, well, geez,

232
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: he's all of a sudden look incredible. What did you

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: see in Alan that made him look so incredible last year?

234
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: And can he duplicate that? I? Oh, he definitely can

235
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: duplicate it. You know, I've been around the guy he's being.

236
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: You said it, Brian day Ball is a great coach.

237
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: His talents real. You know, that's the first thing that

238
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: jumped off to me about Wyoming. Yeah, the numbers, the

239
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: completion percentage might not always been good, but even with

240
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: some of those and some of his best throws were

241
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: in completions where you'd go, oh my gosh, I can't

242
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: believe he's fit it in the window right there, and

243
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: his guy dropped it because there was four people around him.

244
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: But you know, he was crying to groom at Wyoming

245
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: because they knew they weren't good to go just be crazy,

246
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: go play the game. If you don't carry us, we

247
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: can't win the game. And it's like he had no

248
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: governor or no break and that led to bad decisions

249
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: and some things like that. You know, now that's second

250
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: year you talk about with Josh Allen, you know, it's

251
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: it's a great conversation. Yeah, I think the thing that

252
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: was missing still in that second year was still just

253
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of polish right understanding situational football. And yeah,

254
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: there was I think he was still working on the

255
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: mechanics of becoming more accurate. But I would also say

256
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: people were still I think because there's so many haters

257
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: about him coming out in the draft. He was through

258
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns, nine interceptions, went to a playoff game and

259
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: people acted like, oh this I don't know about this guy.

260
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: You know, I know they blow that blew that lead

261
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texas in the wild Card game, but

262
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: they were up sixteen nothing because of Josh Allen and

263
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: some of the crazy things he did. So I think

264
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: again got a little overblown at times. I think with

265
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: overevaluating Josh Allen, some people they don't want to quite

266
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: give him his credit even though they're seeing him improve

267
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: as a player. And uh no, I think he's a

268
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: superstars here to stay. Jason, yeah, you know, and Chris,

269
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: you know this from the media. Some people in the

270
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: media get wrapped up in what somebody isn't instead of

271
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: that they can be you know what Josh Allen is

272
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: not accurate? Well, he can be accurate. Maybe the maybe

273
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: the system didn't really work for him, and that I

274
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: think that was where my big miss was on Mahomes,

275
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: Like you know, he's putting up video game numbers in

276
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. But Chris, you know, I mean, yeah,

277
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: this is not a slight to the Big twelve. Like

278
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: they hadn't produced any NFL star quarterbacks ever, I don't

279
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: think in the last twenty years before Mahomes, And that

280
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: was my big thing and is an idiotic move by

281
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: me to overlook Mahomes because just because there hasn't been

282
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: one doesn't mean, there can't be Jason and and you

283
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: were spotting about Mahomes. Well you know, yeah, you know,

284
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I think again you get listen. First off, your point

285
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: about the Big Twelve is real. I always get concerned

286
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: a little bit about the Big Twelve just about any

287
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: position because it's a flag football conference, basic conference, right,

288
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: So trust me. When I heard about Mahomes and I

289
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: turned on the film and all that, I thought, Man,

290
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna see some Texas tech guy who, just

291
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: like all the other ones, isn't really that talented, but

292
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: it's got all these numbers and he's over hyped. I

293
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: really expected that. But I turned it on and I went, oh, damn,

294
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: whoa like that ball? He made that throw from like,

295
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, floating backwards. WHOA he made that throw sidearm,

296
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, between a tight window thirty yards down the field.

297
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: And I started to realize, like, wait, this ain't the

298
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: system or anything like this. In fact, he's making the system,

299
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, in a lot of ways. And between the athleticism,

300
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: the strengthen the arm, some of the versatility he had

301
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: and all the different types of throws, I just went, man,

302
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how it doesn't work, but Jason. Again,

303
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: that's another great point. You know the conference, you know

304
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: the record of his team. Hey, we all have right now.

305
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: We're in this era. If the team wins, it's all

306
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: the quarterback. If they lose, it's all the quarterbacks. Supposed

307
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: to be the greatest team sport in the world. But

308
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: yet when it comes down to that, we just boil

309
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: it down to one player. And I think that, you know,

310
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: made people miss evaluate to wait, he went four and

311
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: seven in the Big Twelve with Texas Tech. Yeah, when

312
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: you're around you know, crappy players and stuff, I don't

313
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: care who you are. I mean John Elways one of

314
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterbacks I've ever seen. He won three and

315
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: seven as a senior stamper. So you know, again, there's

316
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: more two it than just the one guy. And that's

317
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: where I always get back to evaluate the player realistically,

318
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: evaluate to like, if he has a bad game, don't

319
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: just go oh, of that game was bad? What the hell?

320
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Look at it and go, wait, were there people open?

321
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Was he protected? Did he really have a realistic chance

322
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: to play good and actually win the game? Don't just

323
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: chalk it up to oh, bad stats, they lost. He

324
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: didn't play good, And I think sometimes that's where people

325
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: kind of get lost in the weeds and that stuff. Yet,

326
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald will be an interesting test case, right

327
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: because he was with Adam Gaze, and you know, I

328
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: felt for the Adam Gaze thing because thanks to Peyton

329
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: Manning hyping the hell out of him and he had

330
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: no weapons with with my Jets, I'm o die big

331
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: time Jets fan, and I can totally see Donald thriving

332
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: in Carolina. I mean, he's got Joe Brady and he's

333
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: got a ton of weapons He's got, you know, between

334
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: the receivers and McCaffrey like there are in the NFC,

335
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: there are a really good offensive attack like Donald could

336
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: put up great numbers. Would you agree with that this year?

337
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: I would totally agree, Jason, you know I do. I think,

338
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: first off, Caroline is a sneaky good team on the rise.

339
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if there were coming down the

340
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: stretch in December and they're in the playoff conversation, They've

341
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: been a really good job building that team, and I

342
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: totally agree with you with Sam Donald. Listen, I like

343
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. You can win a Super Bowl with Sam Donald. Yeah,

344
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen

345
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But we've seen a lot less

346
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: talented quarterbacks get to the Super Bowl, less talented than

347
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: than Sam Donald. Donald. You know, can I swear on

348
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: here Jason? Of course? Yeah? Let the excellent. Yeah good Jason.

349
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're surrounded by ship, you're being coached

350
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: by ship, you're gonna get shipped on you and smell

351
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: like shit at times, you know. And that's where he

352
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: was stuck. To your point with the New York Jets.

353
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: What was he supposed to do? Tell me anybody where?

354
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: Where was he supposed like? How was he supposed to

355
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: tear it up? Below average offensive line, no run game

356
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: like you said, no receivers or weapons, average defense, all

357
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: of those issues. Nobody can overcome that. I do think

358
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Sam Donald, you know, kind of rise

359
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: or or certainly open some people's eyes this year. I'd

360
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: be shocked if he doesn't have a good year. Yeah. Now,

361
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: speaking of Super Bowl, we I have to let's just

362
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: quickly jump to Tom Brady. You put out your quarterback rankings,

363
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: heads exploded everywhere. Uh maybe you heard from Brady. I

364
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he reached out to you. But you

365
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady. Tense. Now, I do have a question. Okay,

366
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: you put out the rankings. Uh, is this if you

367
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: could have a quarterback for one game, this is who

368
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: you would choose in order? Is this who is the best?

369
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Right now? Because you had I think Kyler Murray, who

370
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I love, obviously ahead of Brady Um. But you had

371
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: Brady behind Dak Prescott, Josh Allen second, ahead of Aaron Rodgers. Like,

372
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: I just want to know what does quarterback linkings mean? Sure,

373
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: it's it is about and it's basically like, hey, everything's equal.

374
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: Now we can't bring the team along with you and

375
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: all the great things he died, Like this is what

376
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: we're trying to talk about the evaluation of the quarterback,

377
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: right you know we can't get lost in that. So

378
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: what it is is basically my quarterback depth chart. That's

379
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: how I do my top forty. That's really where I go.

380
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: And you know, people always go crazy about the Tom Brady. Listen,

381
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the man. I know that. I all,

382
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: I say he's not the greatest quarterback of all time.

383
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: I know he has the most rings. I get that,

384
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: you know I do, But I think there's they're Definitely

385
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks been better in the history of the game than

386
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, but he's been in some unbelievable circumstances. I

387
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: know he's awesome, and I'm not trying to take anything

388
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: away from that, but I'm one of those guys that

389
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: tells you, like, if Aaron Rodgers was in New England,

390
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: they would have won ten Super Bowls in a row,

391
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: that it wouldn't have been, you know. So that's where

392
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: I go a little bit. Brady amazing, but at forty three,

393
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, and again he what what he? You don't

394
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: think Kyler Murray could have had some of those same

395
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: results with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a top five

396
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: offensive line, a good run game, top weapons in football,

397
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: and the top three defense. You know, That's where I

398
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: think people again get lost in translation. They think they

399
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: just give the credit to one guy all the time,

400
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: and it's a very very talented team. Listen, if you

401
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: put Tom Brady in Buffalo last year, there's gonna be problems.

402
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be able to survive without a run

403
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: game and just an average defense and not always great

404
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,719
Speaker 1: pass protection, and now have to scramble and extend plays

405
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: and do those type of things, right, that's not what

406
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: he is. If you give him the right support system, Man,

407
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: he's amazing. He's the clutchest quarterback I've ever seen. He's

408
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: got a great arm. But right now, at forty three,

409
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and say, with all things equal,

410
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: that he's better than those nine guys in front of them.

411
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: And I know I have a lot of people that

412
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: hate me because I say that. So it's it's all

413
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: fair and you you backed up. I guess what I

414
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: would counter with is, how would you rank the importance

415
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: of what's around the quarterback, whether it's a line uh

416
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: skill position players, system, head coach, offensive coordinator, like, what

417
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: is the order of those of importance? System would be

418
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: the first thing. The system can overcome a lot, you know,

419
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: it really can. And that to me again was you

420
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: know what gets little lost with Brady? You know is

421
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: again his career, it's one of the best systems ever

422
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: nobody and the numbers back this up, Jason, Nobody's thrown

423
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: to more wide open receivers in the history of football

424
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: than Tom Brady. He's had the greatest separation with receivers

425
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: compared to dB is the last eighteen years in football

426
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: over anybody. Protection is up there along with it. So

427
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: I would go scheme one because that can hide a

428
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: lot of deficiencies and your coach can trick things up

429
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: and do that thing. Second after that, I'd probably go

430
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: offensive line because at least, you know, offensive and gives

431
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: you a fighting chance to run the ball, do play

432
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: action pass, and you know, of course protect the quarterback

433
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: to where if you do got a good arm and

434
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: you're accurate, you know, you don't have to have the

435
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: greatest receivers in the history of football to make it

436
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: all happen. And then I would say weaponry after that

437
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: is uh the most important thing, you know, So I

438
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: would probably rank them in that order, you know. And

439
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: and that's where you know again, I know you're getting

440
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: me on this Tom Brady thing. I'm gonna sound like

441
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: a hater. No, no, he don't sound like hater. This

442
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: is but my pushback will be so and again I'm

443
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm born in New York, so from conditioned to not

444
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: like anything Boston like Hatriot, clfic, I don't like any

445
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: of those teams. Um. So Brady thrived as a you

446
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: would say he was like a checkdown artist right in

447
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: his first couple of years when he took over from

448
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: blood Cell. Right, he was not running the team right.

449
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: He was a game, not running down the team. I'm

450
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: not gonna say a checkdown artist. Now, they threw the

451
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: ball aggressively down the field, but they managed the game.

452
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: There was that was Giants football, you know what I mean.

453
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: They were gonna run the ball, play defense, and then

454
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: hey it's third and eight, Tom, we need you to

455
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: throw a fifteen yard laser out round here. Or hey

456
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: it's the end of the game. We gotta come back.

457
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: And then they opened things up. That's the way they played.

458
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't until about two thousand six where they started

459
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: to go, Okay, Brady, we're gonna spread the field, and

460
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: now you can start to carry us a little bit

461
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: in the shotgun and do those type of things. And

462
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: and that would be my thing about Brady. He's done

463
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: so many systems, right, whether it is game manager. Hey

464
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna go two tight ends with Gronkin and her

465
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: end is we're gonna change it up. Now we're gonna

466
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: bring in Randy Moss. Now we're gonna develop this slot receiver.

467
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he basically made Welker uh And you know

468
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting the other small white guy's names. He created

469
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: that basically with the slots. And you know, now he

470
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: goes to Tampa and you're like, oh, what's the system

471
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: gonna be. Well, he's got a really good float fleet

472
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: of talent on the outside in Evans and he makes

473
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: another slot receiver huge catch against the Packers in the

474
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: playoff game. Like, that's the only thing why I would

475
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: say he's still the go. He's done every system you

476
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: put him in, boom, he delivers. Probably. Well, this is

477
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: where I push you're giving him the credit for inventing

478
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: the offense now and he acquiring the players, And I'm

479
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: telling you that New England invented the modern day slot receiver.

480
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: They invented it. So he was the benefactor of schemes

481
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: before the rest of the NFL had even caught on

482
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: the Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez stuff. Yeah, the slot receiver.

483
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: Let's spread the field and we'll let Edelman and every

484
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: Randy Moss do their things and things like that. Yes,

485
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: he's been the benefactor of that type of stuff, But

486
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: that to me is more Belichick and McDaniels. You know,

487
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: That's where I think also people they want to go. No, No,

488
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: he just a quarterback. They gave him the place. He

489
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: didn't invent the plays too, you know, and of course

490
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: they're cutting edge, and I think that's where it drives

491
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: me crazy and sometimes do become a Brady hater because, um,

492
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: he just gets the credit for everything that ever happened

493
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: in New way. Normally i'd agree, but what is mcdid

494
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: What is McDaniels done without Brady? Uh? And I know

495
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: he hasn't had the great quarterbacks, but we just saw

496
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: them last year and okay, maybe they get it pass

497
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: but this year there's got to be pressure on Belichick

498
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: and and McDaniels to deliver like the quarterback. But like

499
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: just historically, Brady leaves the awesome Belichick and then he

500
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: went to Super Bowl, you know, and it's like the

501
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: Bucks hadn't done Jack squad in ten years. I don't know.

502
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a tough one because you're right,

503
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: was the quarterback the Bucks. The team was ready, They

504
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: just needed that quarterback to come in and add a

505
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: little polish and bring it all together in detail to

506
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: the football team and of course take care of the football.

507
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: You know. So that's where again I know, I I don't.

508
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: Brady is certainly one of the five greatest of all time.

509
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I'm not trying to paint them too

510
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: badly here, but it sounds like I probably am. No, no, no, no,

511
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a legit discussion. Hey, Jason, I

512
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: would tell you he went to and Super Bowls, right,

513
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: and five of them. He was outplayed in the championship game,

514
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: but still got to go to the Super Bowl. I

515
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: mean one of them that they didn't need them. You know,

516
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: he was outplayed by Joe Flacco once. He threw three

517
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: interceptions against Philip Rivers. He got out played in the

518
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: epic meltdown last year by Aaron Rodgers, but his team won,

519
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: so everybody forgets it. If they lose that game, we're

520
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: thinking totally different. We're going you at a seventeen point

521
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: lead and you threw an interception three consecutive series in

522
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: a row. So that's what I mean too. He's been

523
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: a benefactor of Stefan Gilmour, Durell Reevi. This you know,

524
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: uh ty law, I mean, this has been He was

525
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: a part of a great machine, and of course he

526
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: was a huge part of it and delivered in all that.

527
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: But I just sometimes get tired of like, God Brady,

528
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: God Brady. Yeah, it's annoying, But the problem is he

529
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: keeps winning now. I think also, I do believe he

530
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: has three Super Bowl comeback victories in the fourth quarter.

531
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want again. Seattle is the

532
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: one that really was like, oh my gosh, like yet

533
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: all with the legion of boom was incredible, and I

534
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: think they went the length of the field for two

535
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: tds in the fourth quarter, and that was one of

536
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: the consciousness. Yes, definitely, that was as clutch as it gets.

537
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: He is as clutch as it gets. That's where I

538
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: became a fan of Brady. It was more like Derek Jeter.

539
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: You know, That's where I look at Brady. I don't

540
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: that's how I kind of view him, you know, I

541
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: I view I view Aaron Rodgers as uh, Mike Trout

542
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest of all time. And then

543
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: I view Jeter. I view Brady more as Jeter, like, oh,

544
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: he's at the plate, he's gonna get the clutch hit

545
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: here and they're gonna win the game. And he knows

546
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: how to and he does have great leadership skills and

547
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: knows how to rally people. And you know that's where

548
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. I won't fight him against any of

549
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: those things. And honestly, listen, Jason, in my list, you know,

550
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: from pure talent and what they delivered on the field

551
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: to a degree, I really wanted to put Ryan Tannehill,

552
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: Herbert in front of them for what they did, right,

553
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: but I gave I gave well Tannehill, I mean, nobody's

554
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: taken more advantage of points, yards available, anything like. That's

555
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: one of the best down the field throwers in football

556
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: in the last few years. But I but I gave

557
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: Brady the edge over them because of the thing you're

558
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: kind of talking about his ability to lead, big cluck

559
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: do all those type of things. Let's not forget this too.

560
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: Last year because yeah, you got me going, they lost

561
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: five games they gave. Those five losses were all because

562
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: of one reason, and that was Tom Brady. You go back,

563
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: look at the stats, look at the games. I know

564
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: he was in a new system. I'm not trying to

565
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: be a total jerk here, you know, but sometimes we

566
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: kind of forget and we have revisionist history. You know,

567
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, and now see now

568
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna get all no, no, no, no, no, listen,

569
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: people are gonna be fine because because guess what, Like

570
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, the Brady Arians tug of war was interesting,

571
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: um and you know announcers Tony Romo really seemed to

572
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: get on the case of Arians in that one loss.

573
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: I think Temple loss, ye chief Chief Speed him and

574
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: basically Romo was like, listen, they should be they shouldn't

575
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: be doing that, they should be doing this. And there's

576
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: theories that did Tom Brady you know in the pregame

577
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: uh lead up where you meet with the announcers in

578
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: the day's leading up and you talk with him, did

579
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: Brady plant some stuff with Romo to get him to

580
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: say that to get it through to Arians, Because maybe

581
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Brady wasn't getting through to Arians because everything clicked. Remember

582
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: after that loss, they didn't lose a game. You know,

583
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: a lot will play action. The only reason I knocked

584
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: Tannehill is you know, listen, he was in Miami. He

585
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this guy's decent. Buddy had Adam Gates

586
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: for some of that, and then he goes to Arthur

587
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: Smith and he liked the world on fire, but I

588
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: want to come back to the list. But while you

589
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: mention it, does this mean that Arthur Smith and Matt

590
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Ryan could be up to something good in Atlanta this year? Yeah, well,

591
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: they could be. I don't know if the team's quite

592
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: built the way Arthur Smith would like to run his

593
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: offense right, which is, you know he wants to he

594
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: wants to play through the run game and be aggressive

595
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: with play action shots off of that, And I don't

596
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: know if they're quite built ready to dominate in the

597
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: run game yet. And I would also say, as much

598
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: as I love Matt Ryan and still think he's really

599
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: damn good, he does not have the ability to push

600
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: the ball down the field like Ryan Tannehill. So there's

601
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: a little difference there. And I don't think they'll be

602
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: able to quite play like the Titans because you don't

603
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: got Derrick Henry in that offensive line, but they're gonna

604
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: try to slowly emulate that. And I do think that

605
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's this year next year, that the

606
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: Falcons will go in the right direction under Arthur stand

607
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: the well, the one easy NFL draft bet was will

608
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: they take Kyle Pitts because he likes the two tight

609
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: ends right he loved that in Tennessee, and so now

610
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: he's got Pitts and Hurst And I mean, I'm kind

611
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: of with you. I don't know that Mike Davis can

612
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: stay healthy enough um to take the punishment that Derrick

613
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: Henry took the Tennessee. But okay, back to your list

614
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: real quick. Um, Yeah, Taysom Hill twenty four, Jamis and

615
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people watch Jamis Winston on Monday Night

616
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: Football off got to give him the job Jamis Winston.

617
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: Look at how good he looks. And I've never been

618
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: a Jamis guy. Um, what do you think Sean Payton

619
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: does for Week one? Who do you think he starts?

620
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: I really thought for a long time he would go

621
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Tasom Hill and tasto. I thought, you know, that's his

622
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: cut toy. I thought he was very intrigued about playing

623
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: him by the at the quarterback position. He you know,

624
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: I had also heard through the grape vine that he

625
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: was also intrigued by kind of running a different offense

626
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: than the Drew Brees one and that adding that Lamar

627
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: Jackson element and all of those things. Um. But here,

628
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: as of late, I don't think there's any doubt that

629
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: it will be Jamie Swifton, especially after that game last night.

630
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: I think that's solidifies it. I really do. And you know,

631
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: to your point, like what you just brought up with

632
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Romo right and the Brady thing, like, I think you're right.

633
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: I do. I think there was Brady probably dropped him

634
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: a hint because after that game, they played the way

635
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Brady wanted to play. Run the ball and then just

636
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 1: protect me so I don't have to move. And if

637
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: you look at Brady's bad plays last year, they were

638
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: all when he was under pressure, the blitz, empties, packages,

639
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: all that where they protected him and and then he

640
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: if you're open, he's gonna hit you. That's there's no

641
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: doubt about that with Tom Brady. Now getting back to

642
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: who the hell are we talking about their Jamis Oh

643
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Jamis Yeah? I think that you know ultimately you know

644
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: Jamis Is he's a good quarterback. Sean Payton believes he

645
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: can beat the dumb plays out of him and stop

646
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: some of that stuff. And I think also what they're

647
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: looking at as Taysom Hill, they don't want to take

648
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: take him off the field for all the other things

649
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: he does with the team. And if you listen to

650
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: the Monday night telecast last night, they said a lot

651
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and to your point, where I was

652
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: going was, you know, when you're announcing the game, you

653
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: get to talk to a lot of people in the organization,

654
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna feel for what's really going on. I think they

655
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: were kind of trying to let us know what's really

656
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: going on last night. Fox Sports Radio has the sports

00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: Kept you a little long. I want to wrap up

661
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: with the Mormon Mahomes, Zach Wilson, who looked really damn

662
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: good in Green Bay, UM over the weekend. You know,

663
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: they had the injury to Lawson and we talked with

664
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Darren Daniel Jeremiah about that yesterday, and I don't want

665
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: to go too deep on that. I just want to

666
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: focus on Wilson, who you say is the best quarterback

667
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: to come out of the draft. Yeah, yeah, you know again,

668
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: you got to block out all the stuff, right the

669
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: y U small school right? Oh? Not good competition, I

670
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean Big Ben, Joe Flacco, Josh Allen,

671
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, they all worked out okay with against lesser competition.

672
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: You know sometimes too, you know, when you play on

673
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: that as compared to maybe Trevor Lawrence and Clemson, the

674
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: game's very easy because you've got a ton of talent

675
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: around you and you don't have to do a whole

676
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: lot all the time to win football games and look good.

677
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: But Zack Wilson, I think Jason would just jumped out

678
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: to me. You know, he's made for the modern day NFL.

679
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: You know, he has an armed that's like Mahomes or

680
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: Rogers where he could just flick it forty yards no

681
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: matter what, you know, body position he's in. If he's

682
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: in the pocket and he wants to throw a hundred

683
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: mile prour fastball, he can do that. He ran somewhat

684
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: of a lot of pro schemes when he was at

685
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: b y U. And to me right now, still as

686
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: much as I love the Lamar Jackson running quarterback and

687
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: all those type of things, you know, Lamar Jackson is

688
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: the greatest runner we've seen, and he can't run in

689
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: the divisional playoff games in the NFL. You're still got

690
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: a gay in the pocket and make throws or extend

691
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 1: plays out of the pocket and make throws from there,

692
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: and that's where I saw Zach Wilson being really special,

693
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: and we'll see maybe I'll be get lucky here and

694
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: he will be the best one. It almost crazier than

695
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: Wilson over Lawrence, which you know is a little crazy.

696
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: You had Kellen Monde from Texas A and M ahead

697
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: of Justin Fields and trade Lance. Now your buddy Kyle

698
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: Shanahan took You're now saying he's the sixth best quarterback

699
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: in the draft. They took him a third overall. Um,

700
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were surprised that a lot of people

701
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: were that they went lands. I sure as he was. Um,

702
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Kellen mond do you think really I

703
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: didn't see it from him, but maybe I'm missing something. No, No,

704
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: don't worry. Let's sorry. You're right. The only times in

705
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 1: the tell I mean, we're not going to see him

706
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: this year. We know that. I do like a lot

707
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: of what Kellen man. I mean, his throwing is is

708
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: top high level. He's got a really quick release, he

709
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: can really throw it with power and make game changing

710
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: type plays and really from the pocket, I thought he's

711
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and Mac Jones were clearly the three best,

712
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, from the pocket, throwing the football, making decisions.

713
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, I might be wrong against this one. I

714
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: said this many times. I liked all six of these,

715
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: but I had to put him in order, and yeah,

716
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: he was kind of my wild card, right. I had

717
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: concerns about justin Fields and Lance's ability to throw the football.

718
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: You know, that's where Fields hasn't really impressed me. And

719
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking like I'm wrong with that one. You know, again,

720
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more of legit NFL. That's he's

721
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: in the pocket against the starting defense and he's got

722
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: to make tight window throws. I haven't seen that yet,

723
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: but still to the eye tests so far, it's been

724
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: damn good. Lance. On the other hand, yeah, I got

725
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: questions about you saw the game the other night. We've

726
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: seen some highlight plays, but we've seen some damn like

727
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Damn how do you miss that throw? Well,

728
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: they're not showing that people aren't. Those highlights don't make

729
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: it to social media. The yard touchdown pass. That's where

730
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: I become the biggest asshole on social media because because

731
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: it's just it's selective sometimes with certain guys, you know.

732
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: But then like Josh Allen his first two years, he

733
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: made highlight. There was no what he ever showed him.

734
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: They just showed the bad place. I don't know why

735
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: I Trey Lance for some reason. It's just they only

736
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: show the good. They try to make an excuse for

737
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: a ball that's miss thrown over the middle and intercepted.

738
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: And you know that. I honestly think Shanahan should start

739
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. I do think he can manage him the

740
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: right way right away from week one. He did it

741
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: with r G three. This team is way better than

742
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. You know he can do it.

743
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: But Lance has gotta get in the trust tree. And

744
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: what you saw the other night with an interception, then

745
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: the very next series, his first throw should have been intercepted.

746
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: It hit the linebacker in the chest. Then two plays

747
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: later his next throw, he I think it he's playing

748
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: a starting defense. He gets stripped, sack bumbled. If you

749
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: can remember, he holds the ball floating to his left

750
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: and gets sacked, you know, and that's a run there where.

751
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: If that's the regular season, I know my buddy Kyle

752
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: Shin and he's going ship. We could be down twenty

753
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: one than the heartbeat just because our quarterback did a

754
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: few bone head things. So I really think he wants

755
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: him to start. I think that's why Shannahan was annoyed

756
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: after the game in the postgame press conference, because it

757
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: was there Jimmy g through interception, they took him out

758
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: of the game put Lance in. I think really Shanahan

759
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: was hoping like, all right, this is the time, here

760
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: we go, and you know, it didn't quite work out

761
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: that way, so we're still in limbo here for one

762
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: more week on that decision. Yeah, it feels like he's

763
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: not the kids, like twenty one. He took a year old.

764
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: Didn't he opt out for years he's twenty one or

765
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty two. But yeah, they didn't play football up there

766
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: North Dakota State last year other than one game. And

767
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: that's the thing too. He that's where it's tough. He's raw.

768
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: Like you're saying, he's young and he hasn't played a lot,

769
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: so you're I'd be scared too to send him for

770
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: a whole year, going, damn, what are we gonna not

771
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: have him played football for two years here and then

772
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: put him in And I would be shocked. Even if

773
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo starts Trey Lance will have a package of

774
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: plays during every game. We have yet to see the

775
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: quarterback design run from Shanahan in the preseason. Why because

776
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: he's holding it for the regular season. And I think, yeah,

777
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: and Jason the last thing started to talk so much.

778
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: I do think, Uh, Jimmy g is. You know, he's

779
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna know win situation. You know, even if they start

780
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: out one on one and he hasn't played well and

781
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: he's at home, he's gonna get booed the first three

782
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: passes he throws in complete. And it's just gonna always

783
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: be this pressure of put Trey Lanson, put Trey Lanson,

784
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: put Trey Lanson. And I just think eventually that happens

785
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: here and I would expect it pretty early. On me. Man,

786
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: they got a Super Bowl to they should steamroll Detroit

787
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: in the opening. That's so that's a cake walk. But

788
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: I just think it's too risky for Shanahan. But he's

789
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: your guy, you know him. But I don't know, you

790
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: know me, I thought he was gonna draft Mac Jones

791
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: and I'm wrong, So I don't know. I don't have

792
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: these conversations with him. I talked about him as if Hey,

793
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: I know him like you're saying as a friend, as

794
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: a guy, and I know what he's thinking football wise,

795
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: but I have had no direct conversations about this subject

796
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: to to give anybody some inside info or anything like that.

797
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: He's not gonna tell me what's really going on there, right,

798
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: It's it's weird. We talked with Daniel Jeremiah about this.

799
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: Like you were in NFL front offices. You have a

800
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: lot of relationships. You've interview with teams. You know, when

801
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: you're coming out critical of people, you know, are you

802
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: hearing from them? And you know he said, yeah, some

803
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: people reach out and you know it doesn't get combated.

804
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: But you're like friends with Kyle Jehan dating back to college.

805
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: Did he reach out to you and say, hey, man,

806
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: the chill or anything? Did he say anything? No, he

807
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: he knows me. He knows that I'm gonna just evaluate

808
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: for what I see. He knows I have knowledge of

809
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: the game, and he knows he's not gonna sway my

810
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: opinion or decision on some of these things, especially quarterback.

811
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: You know, he knows I know a lot there. So hey,

812
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm still a believer that it was mac Jones when

813
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: the trade was made. That I am a believer that

814
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: that's still the case. You know, he could tell me

815
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: whatever he wants, But I've heard too many rumors and

816
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: things to think it was Mac Jones. And somewhere in

817
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: the last three weeks or so before the draft, it

818
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: changed and that became the love affair with with Trey Lance.

819
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: And I think Shanahan in a lot of ways is

820
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: looking for that next thing to do in the NFL,

821
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: that next cutting edge thing on offense, because everybody steals

822
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: his plays, his play action passes, his run game, everything

823
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: like this, and I do think Trey Lands can kind

824
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: of give him a leg up in that department. Yeah,

825
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Mac Jones has looks so good in New

826
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: England and now there's the COVID cam. Not he doesn't

827
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: have COVID, but he was a close proximity to someone

828
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: and mcton Matt might start from week one and that

829
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: this was the guy who Shanahan supposedly wanted. I wonder,

830
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, if if there's any issues with the Lynch

831
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: Shanahan marriage. In the front of was someone we're outside

832
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: forces pushing Lance. I don't know. That's it's a fascinating subplot.

833
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: It definitely is there's no doubt. And I don't have

834
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: the answers for you there. I really don't. Um. You know,

835
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: the one thing, I just feel like because he had

836
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: a he had a uh like, well want to change

837
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: the offense a little bit. That was the only inkling

838
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: I got through the whole process, you know. And of

839
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: course we know they were very frustrated with Jimmy Garoppolo

840
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: the haul off season, tried to trade for Matthew Stafford,

841
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers. I mean, they did everything they

842
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: could to replace Jimmy g And that's also some of

843
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: the logic why I think it could be a short

844
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: leash for him, just because of how hard they tried

845
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: to replace them all year long. So we'll see. You

846
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: made a good point. I mean, they're a super Bowl team.

847
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: It's risky to do that. I don't know where that goes, um,

848
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm sure Mac Jones and his play is

849
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: making Shanahan a little nervous, going, damn, I hope I

850
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: picked the right guy. Yeah, yeah, alright. He is Chris Simms,

851
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: Texas legend, former quarterback in the NFL. He's with NBC.

852
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to pump up anything Chris, I mean

853
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: you don't really need to. You're such a huge deal

00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: now in sports media. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah.
