WEBVTT - The Best of The Dan Patrick Show 0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:05.280 You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Bronto. Mendoza had his 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.320 primetime debut his second preseason game. He went eight for 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.960 fifteen eighty six yards and ugly, ugly, ugly, pick six 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.840 and attacking one half of work against the Houston Texans. 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.400 So we'll call it mixed reviews for the number one 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:18.880 draft pick. 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.360 Yeah, uh, I don't know. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.280 I know people are people in Las Vegas really excited 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:28.639 Kelvin because I'm not. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:30.800 I'm rob G. That's his team. 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.559 I know Tom Brady, that was the guy they chose 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:35.880 and whatnot. 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:36.920 And I get it. 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.960 He won a national championship. He played great right last 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.800 year with Indiana. Huh, But I'm not convinced that he's 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.919 going to be that guy and people talk about all 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:47.519 the time. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.360 Just because you're the first overall pick. 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:54.080 We've seen plenty of guys wash out and not make 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.920 it and be a bust. I was always skeptical of 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:04.480 the NFL with the idea of the Raiders and Mendoza 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.920 not having any national games, Like, like, Kelvin, to me, 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:09.440 that's just. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.400 Since win, you don't want to see number one overall. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:14.400 That's a good point. 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.880 I'm serious that people are like, oh well, they don't 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.360 think he's gonna start, and he so they're not putting 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.680 any games on and they could flex in. I'm sorry, 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.400 the idea that he's the first overall pick and they're 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:28.960 not sure. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.480 I don't even know. Are they gonna start them or 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.160 are they gonna make them sit? And wait? 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.679 I mean, rob G, you're the Raiders. Got what what 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.200 are they saying? Because it sounds like it's mixed. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.319 On a big seat. He's gonna have a big seat. 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.640 They're making it seem like there's a competition. But you know, 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.920 Kirk Cousins didn't even dress yesterday, so that kind of 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:48.720 tells you all you need to know. 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.760 You know, I call him Kirk, your cousin, not mine. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.600 He is definitely gonna be starting number one. It just 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.680 when you look at this this Raiders team, I mean, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.600 rob G, you know that's your squad. They're so young, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.520 rob there's one thing to just be bad, and we 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:06.080 know in the NFL sometimes bad isn't horrible, right, Sometimes 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.639 it's just a few plays didn't go your way, and 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.000 now you're seven and ten or you're you know, you're 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.440 eight and something or six and eleven, When he really 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.160 weren't that bad, and the next year you turn around, 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.760 at least you're you're a better squad. Then there's sometimes 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.160 you were just future and you got a lot to 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.639 figure out. And the Raiders are closer to the ladder. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.080 I mean they have a lot to figure out. They're 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.720 very young. They're trying to get some nice pieces. You know, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.800 they're hoping the gent works out at the running back. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.000 They still got bauered. They got some pieces offense. They 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.160 hope that Mendoza eventually will get there. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:33.760 But rob this. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.720 Team, they ain't there yet. Tom Brady ain't walking through 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.760 that door as the quarterback. Now he might walk through 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.600 as a minority owner. But he's got a lot of 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.160 work to do. And and if you were able to 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.160 watch some of the plays, he made some nice drows, 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.200 which is why obviously that's why he's the number one pick. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.919 He looked comfortable at some times, got the ball out, 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.440 got the offense moving, and that bad that throw across 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.560 the middle of the interception was terrible. And you're gonna 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.120 learn that number one thing you hear all the time. 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.800 The speed is much faster in the pros. That little 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.120 crossbody across the middle of the field pass you normally 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.320 can do in college, you ain't doing that in the pros. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.640 And so he's gonna learn that for sure. But I 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.920 definitely expect a slow roll. If you're Raiders and you 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.359 say and you woy believe this is your guy, then 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:18.320 there's no rush. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.920 You're hoping to have him for a greater. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.400 Decade, decade and a half, and so they're not going 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:23.359 to run a little different. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.000 I'm in a different school. If you can play and 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.679 make an impact, you should play. The only way you really. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.640 Learn to play in the National Football League is going 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.920 out there all the people, the great players. No one's 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.040 putting them on a leash. No one's telling them we're 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.400 going to pump the brakes on you. You just go 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.640 out there and you learn. Peyton Manning was one of 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.640 a bad Indianapolis team. He threw a million interceptions, right, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.480 Peyton Manning wasn't Peyton Manning year one. Go back and look, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.800 he almost threw thirty interceptions he did his rookie year. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.640 So you can't explain or tell me that the best way. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.080 Is to sit. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.880 Now, we got the Aaron Rodgers example, but there's a 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.120 reason Aaron Rodgers sat. You had a future Hall of 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.480 Famer there still able to play. That's the only reason 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.000 Aaron Rodgers didn't play, not that he couldn't play. Everybody 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.200 said in practice, this guy's got it, but he had 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.080 to sit up three years behind Brett Fahr, a Hall 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.960 of famer. Kirk Cousins is no Hall of Famer. Kirk 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.920 Cousins was lousy in Atlanta. Kirk Cousins gets you nothing. 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:40.680 Kirk Cousins gives you wasted snaps. It's wasted snaps. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.200 I would rather. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.960 I would rather this kid play, take his lumps, and 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.279 if they're bad, get another top pick. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:53.839 I don't want to be in the middle of the pack. 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.240 Because I have a middling end of his career quarterback 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.240 who's just going to keep us afloat and win enough 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.159 game so that we don't get the number one pick 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:04.800 or top pick. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.640 Again, that's what I'm saying. I want all of nothing. Well, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.880 we know that's you, Rob, We know that you want 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.440 all or nothing. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.760 We know, But again, I think the bigger indictment it 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.719 really is the whole roster. Like I think again, I 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.839 think if they were a solid and again they just 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.039 were not as bad as a record showed that, I 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.080 think they'd roll them out there. But I think the 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.680 issue is they're so young. They're the colts team though, 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:29.880 I'm just asking you. I mean, I'm not gonna I 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.520 can give you examples. I know, did he have Marshall 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:33.000 fought back? 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:33.200 Then? 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.159 Did Peyton right off the back gear? 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.400 I mean he had some pieces out there where you 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.480 can say, all right, we got something rolling. No, they 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.919 were bad, but I no, no doubt. But also too, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.479 Mendoza ain't Peyton. Let's be clear, like he can end 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.920 up having a fine career overall, yeh pick and that happens. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.080 That War was the first overall pick. He ain't gonna 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.960 be Payton either. I mean, you know when you know 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.159 that somebody Peyton was different. Peyton was generational from the 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.000 day he stepped into Tennessee. We knew from the jump 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:05.040 this is what he was. Interceptions I'm talking about in college. 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.560 We know what Peyton was gonna be from high school 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:08.680 to college to when he got. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.640 To the pro. I'm saying I didn't know his first year. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.280 Mendoes, sure, right, he had a rough first year. Mendoza 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.479 is slow rolling into this thing. Robbie came out the blue. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.919 You never even heard of him. You heard of the 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.240 Mendoza line, not Fernando Mendoza, and then all of a 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.800 sudden he comes in and has an incredible h what 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:26.960 was that his twelfth. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.760 Year in college? Rus Let's let's let's take advantage of it. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.520 The players in the NFL are around the same age 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.360 of the players in Indiana last year. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:35.200 Hey, you ain't lying. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.000 And with all this going back and forth, guys getting 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.920 contract and can go back. I don't know how old 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.799 like you're gonna have twenty eight year olds rookies. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.400 And he played with twenty eight year olds that Indiana. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.839 Whatever it was, the average age was like twenty five 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.760 in college. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.120 He put a little extra sauce on it. But it 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.680 was old. It was old. But that'st rob g. It 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.080 was like twenty five. It was like. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.360 Twenty five thirty one pick one. But you don't get 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.760 my point. I do, no, no, no, I do. 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:02.320 I just think. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.480 But again, just to me, I think they're gonna say, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.359 Kirk Cousins, you take those lumps. If there are lumps 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.840 to be had that you're talking about, you go out there, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.120 you set the tone, You show this young guy something. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.640 We can get these younger players on this roster, get 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.800 them developed, slowly he's gonna I think he's gonna start 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.960 probably halfway through the season, maybe a little early, maybe 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.840 week six seven is but I think they just want 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.400 to get to get him more acclimated. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.000 Make you know some of those how does he get 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.000 more acclimated? Not playing seriously like. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.800 I because if you get smoked. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.520 There's a dude named David Carr, not even Derek Carr, 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.360 who still has PTSD from getting smoked out there. Cam 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.120 Ward is noay near as bad as he looked last year, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.200 but he was getting smoked. Sometimes when you know your 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.040 team is horrific, rob and then sometimes your team is 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.000 we're better than we look. And if it's horrific, I 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:50.720 think they don't. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.880 Want Tom out terrific this year and next year he 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.440 still shouldn't play, right how long you're gonna wait? 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.080 Well now but six? 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.560 But week six gonna be good? Is that like to 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:02.720 explain how they got. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.240 The guys will have guys will have played. 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.880 You would have been able to find out who's who 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.520 if you need to switch if this started to. 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.200 Say, you find out they're no good, they're still on good, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:12.520 so you delay his start. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.400 They may be starting his quarterback. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.480 People have historically not started off the bat rob We 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.120 have so many we have examples of both. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:19.200 You. 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.640 We got guys who got thrown in the fire. We 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.840 got guys who have have had to wait a year 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.320 or two like that. Especially historically, it was war common 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:28.520 for you to come in and wait, not come in 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.000 and try to be a savior of a horrific team. So, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.080 I mean, it's not gonna be crazy if they make 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.160 them wait a year. That's not gonna be like all 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.440 of a sudden, some some we've never seen this before. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.320 This just sounds to me like there their convincement those 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.840 is gonna be a bust. I'm gonna be on the record, 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.520 That's where I'm at that he's gonna be a bust ultimately. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.720 And they don't have the confidence that this guy who 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.200 took Indiana to a national championship and played some of 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.720 the best college football quarterback and that we had seen 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.839 right and and did the unthinkable should be that guy. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.960 It's almost like people were telling Joe Burrow, don't go 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.920 to Cincinnati, what a bad franchise, you have no shot 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.160 to win. They were trying to tell him he should 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.880 pull an Eli Manning and his camp should should say 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.760 not to I'm not going there. Don't draft me. I'm 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.880 not going to Cincinnati. They had lost their last seven 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.360 playoff games coming into the time that Joe Burrow showed 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.720 up in Cincinnati. And guess what, he gets hurt his 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.000 first year, right, because they're not that good. 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:38.079 They don't protect him. 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.320 He gets hurt, comes back his second year, and takes 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.480 that franchise to the super Bowl. I'm sorry, that's what 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:48.360 I want from my quarterback. Uh, why can't that? 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.320 You just said he went out there and got hurt 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:51.160 because they were terrible. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:51.720 You're telling me. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.360 You're telling me hurt because they're terrible. That's all I'm saying. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.600 You could get hurt at any time in football. I'm 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.000 just you can't, baby p. I'm sorry. There's no perfect 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.239 scenario to break a quarterback in and make him feel comfortable. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.079 Put the guy out there and let him play. I'm sorry. 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.160 Listen, you know I had a sixteen team, you know, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.600 the Detroit I saw a guy coming there and and 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.480 and you know, play through it wanted to be there 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.240 and and and showed us, Okay, you know this guy's 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:24.800 got some talent. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.920 He might be he might be good for us. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.040 So I've been there when they threw him in the fire, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.600 and and then you know, ultimately he improved, got to 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.280 the postseason a couple of times. He left some on 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.480 the table every now and again. But so I've seen 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.240 it all both ways. I just I don't know for 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.640 whatever reasons they believe, that's why they went and got 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.040 this veteran Kirk Cousins to to be there for him, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.400 and so he didn't get his legs snapped out there. 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.880 That's what Kirk. You get, You get snapped up and 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.319 beat up. Not Mendoza. We got some hope. But we're 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.840 the youngest. Heck, I think they got like, uh, they're 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.200 the youngest roster in NFL. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.040 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.439 the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.680 dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:17.480 listen live. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.360 This is Rob Parker and I'm here with an important 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.680 public service announcement. Whatever you do, do not listen to 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:28.480 the Paulie and Tony Fusco show. Fox Sports Radio asked 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.600 me to do a promo, but I'm here to do 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.000 a no mo, as in, don't listen to this show. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:34.520 No Mo. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.960 The host of two fools from Philly who have the 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.440 dumbest takes ever in all of sports talk. And you know, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.800 if I'm saying that, they must really be bad. I 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.760 have no idea why Fox Sports Radio picked this up, 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.080 but I know where to put it down in the 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.360 trash can. So please don't listen to the Paulie and 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:55.880 Tony Fusco show. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.200 No way, no how it looks like it. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.120 Maybe Deshaun Watson starting for the Browns. Where you're at 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.360 rob when it comes to the quarterback or lack the 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.199 up situation with the Browns. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:15.920 I think Shadoor has missed the golden opportunity. The Browns 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.160 didn't have a quarterback really to Sean Watson despite his contract, 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:25.120 I understand, like I hear the excuse of people saying, well, well, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.320 they can't cut him because it would be a massive 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.120 cap hit. Okay, we got that. But if I have 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.160 to pay the contract anyway, right, he could be the 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:39.240 backup quarterback and sit there where I don't damage the 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.160 salary cap. I mean, you know the cap hit, right, 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.840 I gotta pay him anyway if my best chance to win, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:52.680 And I'm Todd Monkin and I'm trying to be a 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.920 head coach in the NFL, and my best opportunity to 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:01.600 win is by playing Shador Sandals, who's making way less money. 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.120 I'm gonna play Shador Sanders. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:10.480 It doesn't make any sense to start to Sean Watson. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.480 Just because of the salary. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.640 I have to pay it regardless, So I could pay it. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.160 Play Shador Sanders because he's the best quarterback and win 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.160 some games and maybe solidify another year as a head 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.600 coach in the NFL, or get another contract. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.320 If I'm Todd Monkin, I can't. I don't believe it. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:34.920 To me. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.480 Shador Sanders hasn't done enough last year or this year 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:45.400 for anybody to buy into him. There's no bonus playing 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:47.640 Deshaun Watson. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:49.520 He has. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.439 He's been bad since he came from Houston right he 0:13:53.600 --> 0:14:00.640 was injured. Every strike is against Sean Watson. Every plus 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:06.040 is for Schador Sanders and Todd Monkin and the brown 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.480 still don't want to make him the starting quarterback. What 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:13.920 does that tell you? It tells you he hasn't done 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:19.640 enough to convince people in that organization that he's a 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.520 starting quarterback in the NFL. Because the Browns are about 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.880 as low as you get. Yeah, I mean you get 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.640 Does that make sense to listen, I said it. You 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.320 and I have talked about it. I understand it. But 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.040 you could still place Shador if you think he's better. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.280 And I think I pay money anyway. I think Shador 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.360 will play. I think we did a similar Listen, there's 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:39.120 a reason why. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:39.640 I start him? 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.360 No, why not start I don't. I'll tell you why. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.280 When you're a new coach, you got a guy who's 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.800 been in it. This will be year two for Shador 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.240 and obviously if he let's assume let's say he was 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.120 a starter, this will be his first, you know, year 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.080 as a full time starter if that was the case. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.720 But it's not right now. And I think when you're 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.360 looking at Deshaun Watson, it's a safer picking that. Okay, Well, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.280 he's a veteran. He knows he didn't play, he got 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.480 hurt last year, right, But he's been in the league 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.040 now for DAK in a decade, So I'm saying, Okay, 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.520 he's a veteran. He he you know, he knows the 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.360 ins and out better to be a pro than than 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.240 Shador does. And I think the money does I think 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.680 you're understating or under selling the money a little bit 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:16.440 more than I would. 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:17.760 I think that matters. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.440 Because yes, I have to pay him, because I'm saying, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.040 if I have to pay him, then I might. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:22.960 As well get something out of him. No, no, it's 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:23.760 not nice. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.360 He can't help you win, but especially that makes you 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.640 have a new coach whose career is. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:30.560 On the line. Do you do you? 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.880 But this is where Chardeur I agree that he hasn't 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.480 made a massive separation between the two. I'm completely in 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.840 agreement with that. It's not as if chadors come out 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.240 and you know, look like uh uh prime Patrick Mahomes 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.000 or something where you're like, clearly, that's our guy. I 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.200 think if he's been playing coach, and all the reports 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.760 of coming out of training camp was that Shadur was 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.360 playing better, he had better hired a completion percentage, he 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.240 hadn't thrown an interception at all during training camp. So 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:02.000 the that's a slight gap in the game, right, slightly 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.680 and better played during training camp for Shador. But I 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.800 mentioned this the other day to you, it's gonna be 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.400 have to be a larger separation gap in my opinion 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.120 because if that if not, well, I'm gonna roll with 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.080 the guy who's a veteran, and we owe the money anyway, 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:16.760 give him a look, just give them one more chance. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.160 That's what I think they would do. You do, Calvin, 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.560 I am in favor of starting to George. If he 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.360 goes out there and flames out, at least I can say, man, 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.200 look we gave you last year. It was a difficult situation. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.720 We're starting three four different quarterbacks. Last year it was 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.720 a mess. I'll give you that. I will concede that 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.040 we saw some things we didn't like this. We're gonna 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:35.920 work on that. You had a couple of throws as well. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.640 Let's give you a chance this year, new coast. Let's 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.760 start this thing. He's got a new system. Let's roll it. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.120 That's all I would prefer to do, because for me, Rob, 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.960 I know what I have with with Deshaun Watson. 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:46.880 See here, here's where. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.240 I'm gonna push back, and I don't I don't buy 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.800 your argument at all. If I'm Todd Monkin, all right, 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.200 like the NFL stands for not for long, Okay, so 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:58.760 you're gonna put it in. Somebody will say, what what 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.080 kind of coature you put in? A broken down Deshaun Watson, 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.520 who hasn't played well since he stepped into Cleveland. You 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.600 have this everybody's ran and raving about Shador Sanders and 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.840 he's got the eight factor and he's selling the most 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.960 jerseys in the NFL, and everybody's all excited in the 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.880 fan base wants them. And you don't play him, okay, 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.359 And but you play the guy who you have to 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.040 pay regardless whether he plays or not. The idea of 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.679 getting something out of him doesn't make any sense to 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.320 me if you believe you have a guy in Shador 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.080 Sanders who can be a quarterback, who can be. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.840 The same thing. I bring up the same argument all 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:41.399 the time. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:47.240 And Pete Carroll in Seattle where they have Matt Flynn 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.760 in place, they went and they got him from Green Bay. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.320 Oh my god, yes, we finally got a quarterback. And 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:58.199 this Russell Wilson, who I believe Rob g correct me 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.440 was a fourth round pick, right third or fourth? 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:01.760 Okay? 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:07.600 Third, okay, third round pick. When Russell Wilson shows up 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.439 and they immediately go, oh no, our quarterback is right. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.480 This is this guy right here. It's this guy. And 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.920 that started the turnaround. 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:23.119 And my point is, if Shador has anything, anything that 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.720 you can build on, and you're Todd Monkin. 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.160 Okay, you noticed, Kevin. I'll give you one other example. 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:35.000 Like a TV being in the TV business, the coach 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:40.359 or the news director isn't going to mess around with 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.840 Rob Parker because I've already been there. 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.600 You know what you get from him. 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.960 Kelvin Washington is the new hotshot reporter that I brought 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:51.480 in when I. 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:52.680 Took over the news division. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.879 If we get better numbers, I'm gonna get credit for 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.920 Kelvin because I put him in place. If I go 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.200 back to DeShawn watching, I don't get anything for that. 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.879 If I can identify Shador Saying as the next quarterback 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.960 of the Browns, I'm gonna cement myself there in the 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.480 organization because I made the gutsy move. I didn't play 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.200 the quarterback who had the bigger contract. I played the 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.560
