00:00:30,588 --> 00:00:32,708
Speaker 1: because you guys are always in New York City for

5
00:00:32,748 --> 00:00:35,068
Speaker 1: the show. I'm Colleen Wolf. I'm only here for a

6
00:00:35,068 --> 00:00:37,508
Speaker 1: couple of days, but I'm loving it. And we got

7
00:00:37,588 --> 00:00:41,908
Speaker 1: Kyle Brant, Jason mccordy, Peter Schrager. This has been super fun.

8
00:00:42,148 --> 00:00:45,068
Speaker 1: Already had a great first hour. We have two more

9
00:00:45,148 --> 00:00:48,108
Speaker 1: good ones to go. But I just wanted to give

10
00:00:48,148 --> 00:00:50,748
Speaker 1: a quick shout out to my grandma who's turning ninety

11
00:00:50,748 --> 00:00:54,628
Speaker 1: eight years old today. I'm heading to Philly to see her.

12
00:00:54,708 --> 00:00:57,828
Speaker 1: Wish her a happy birthday. What's your name, Gloria? Gloria?

13
00:00:57,868 --> 00:00:59,988
Speaker 1: And what do you call her as your grandmother? Just grandma?

14
00:01:00,068 --> 00:01:05,468
Speaker 1: Just Grandma's school, Yeah, mama and a pop up too.

15
00:01:05,828 --> 00:01:07,188
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's like more of a

16
00:01:07,228 --> 00:01:12,868
Speaker 1: regional thing birthday for Gloria. Great? Yeah, thank you, thank you.

17
00:01:13,028 --> 00:01:16,588
Speaker 1: And with that, let's go to the lead block. So

18
00:01:16,748 --> 00:01:20,388
Speaker 1: things could be looking up for Niners quarterback Trey Lance.

19
00:01:20,508 --> 00:01:24,628
Speaker 1: New video recently emerging of Trey working out alongside Patrick Mahomes.

20
00:01:24,908 --> 00:01:27,828
Speaker 1: So regardless of Lance's future at this point, it is

21
00:01:27,868 --> 00:01:29,988
Speaker 1: obviously great to see him out there. He looks healthy

22
00:01:30,068 --> 00:01:32,188
Speaker 1: after that Week two ankle injury that knocked him out

23
00:01:32,188 --> 00:01:34,828
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season last year. So now

24
00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:38,508
Speaker 1: with chimmyj in Vegas and the forty nine ers quarterback room,

25
00:01:38,548 --> 00:01:43,148
Speaker 1: it consists of newcomer Sam Darnold, the unlikely hero Brock Purty,

26
00:01:43,428 --> 00:01:47,348
Speaker 1: and the very very mysterious Tree Lance. The Niners, they

27
00:01:47,388 --> 00:01:50,188
Speaker 1: could keep Lance, they could trade Lance, but whatever ends

28
00:01:50,268 --> 00:01:53,548
Speaker 1: up happening, it would be great to establish his value

29
00:01:53,588 --> 00:01:56,428
Speaker 1: at this point. Because only seventeen starts at North Dakota

30
00:01:56,468 --> 00:02:00,188
Speaker 1: State and another four in the NFL, it's really difficult

31
00:02:00,228 --> 00:02:02,068
Speaker 1: to do so at this point, I just want to

32
00:02:02,108 --> 00:02:06,668
Speaker 1: know how should teams assess the worth of Trey Lance. Peter.

33
00:02:06,868 --> 00:02:10,468
Speaker 1: That's so difficult because even his fourth start in the

34
00:02:10,588 --> 00:02:13,028
Speaker 1: NFL last year we only saw him play for He

35
00:02:13,108 --> 00:02:16,188
Speaker 1: didn't even finish out the first quarter. Yeah, I have

36
00:02:16,308 --> 00:02:21,988
Speaker 1: no greater assessment of Trey Lance now in April of

37
00:02:22,188 --> 00:02:24,428
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three than I did when he was drafted

38
00:02:24,468 --> 00:02:27,388
Speaker 1: in April of twenty You have nothing, have nothing. There's

39
00:02:27,428 --> 00:02:30,108
Speaker 1: not a big enough sample size, and the way that

40
00:02:30,228 --> 00:02:33,948
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan used him did him no favors either. And

41
00:02:33,988 --> 00:02:37,108
Speaker 1: I main't hit my mean young Trey Lance. Kyle Shanahan

42
00:02:37,468 --> 00:02:39,428
Speaker 1: ran the hell out of Trey Lance as if he

43
00:02:39,548 --> 00:02:43,628
Speaker 1: was a running back. He's a quarterback. So the Shanahan

44
00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:47,068
Speaker 1: offense had these visions of what we can do. Sure enough, Lance,

45
00:02:47,548 --> 00:02:50,508
Speaker 1: eventually he's gonna book. There's the ankle. He's done. Like,

46
00:02:51,228 --> 00:02:53,948
Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers that he had, they

47
00:02:53,948 --> 00:02:57,028
Speaker 1: were outstanding. On the ground, he ran the ball sixteen

48
00:02:57,148 --> 00:03:01,588
Speaker 1: times in four quarters last season, sixteen times from a

49
00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:04,868
Speaker 1: quarterback spot. If you charted that out over the course

50
00:03:05,308 --> 00:03:09,748
Speaker 1: of an entire season. This is all fast on the

51
00:03:09,748 --> 00:03:12,868
Speaker 1: five quarters. This is what they planned on doing. I mean, honestly,

52
00:03:12,908 --> 00:03:14,588
Speaker 1: if you were to do this, so how am I

53
00:03:14,588 --> 00:03:17,268
Speaker 1: supposed to great him? Look, if Trey Lance was in

54
00:03:17,268 --> 00:03:20,348
Speaker 1: a traditional offense where he was, you know, running three

55
00:03:20,388 --> 00:03:23,068
Speaker 1: times and through the ball twenty times in his first

56
00:03:23,228 --> 00:03:26,028
Speaker 1: five quarters, maybe I'd have a better idea. But as

57
00:03:26,028 --> 00:03:27,948
Speaker 1: a rookie, he was thrown into the fire and did

58
00:03:27,988 --> 00:03:30,788
Speaker 1: not look great. In the off season, we heard amazing

59
00:03:30,828 --> 00:03:33,268
Speaker 1: things about him. Comes out. They lose to the Bears

60
00:03:33,268 --> 00:03:36,228
Speaker 1: in that first game in a rainy tornado windstorm that

61
00:03:37,308 --> 00:03:40,108
Speaker 1: nine game, and then he snaps his ankle in half,

62
00:03:40,108 --> 00:03:42,988
Speaker 1: and how can I possibly assess him? So if I'm

63
00:03:42,988 --> 00:03:45,468
Speaker 1: an opposing team, I look at him and I say,

64
00:03:45,828 --> 00:03:49,148
Speaker 1: not my problem. You guys took him third overall. Why

65
00:03:49,148 --> 00:03:50,948
Speaker 1: don't you guys figure out what he is and then

66
00:03:51,068 --> 00:03:53,108
Speaker 1: you make the value on him forty nine ers. If

67
00:03:53,148 --> 00:03:54,868
Speaker 1: you think he's worthy of a first round pick, and

68
00:03:54,908 --> 00:03:57,188
Speaker 1: you want to say that, we'll pick up and we'll listen,

69
00:03:57,188 --> 00:04:01,148
Speaker 1: it will politely decline third overall pick, have no idea

70
00:04:01,148 --> 00:04:03,268
Speaker 1: if he's a good quarterback or not. And that's not

71
00:04:03,388 --> 00:04:05,828
Speaker 1: his fault entirely. He had the wheels run off him,

72
00:04:05,828 --> 00:04:07,708
Speaker 1: and he had a freak injury and played in in

73
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:09,788
Speaker 1: a windy rainstorm in the one game we saw him.

74
00:04:09,828 --> 00:04:11,948
Speaker 1: So how do I as sense Trey Lance right now?

75
00:04:12,148 --> 00:04:14,108
Speaker 1: Not my problem. There's a lot of their quarterbacks and

76
00:04:14,148 --> 00:04:17,468
Speaker 1: I'll deal with those. Not my problem. That's the headline

77
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:20,228
Speaker 1: right there, Not my problem. I love that. If I'm

78
00:04:20,268 --> 00:04:22,588
Speaker 1: another team, you're looking at it, and you said you

79
00:04:22,628 --> 00:04:25,948
Speaker 1: don't feel any differently than the draft when he came out,

80
00:04:25,988 --> 00:04:27,988
Speaker 1: And that's where you have to go back for if

81
00:04:27,988 --> 00:04:30,028
Speaker 1: you're a team, you're looking at Trey Lance, and when

82
00:04:30,068 --> 00:04:33,108
Speaker 1: you do all this research and evaluation on quarterbacks as

83
00:04:33,108 --> 00:04:35,508
Speaker 1: they're coming out, he obviously went third overall of the

84
00:04:35,588 --> 00:04:37,628
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. So you go back and you say,

85
00:04:37,668 --> 00:04:39,548
Speaker 1: all right, what did we think of Trey Lance when

86
00:04:39,588 --> 00:04:42,428
Speaker 1: he was coming out on draft night? And then you

87
00:04:42,548 --> 00:04:45,388
Speaker 1: try to apply that to what you've seen in the preseason,

88
00:04:45,468 --> 00:04:48,188
Speaker 1: any reps that you've seen. Does that mean all right

89
00:04:48,468 --> 00:04:51,108
Speaker 1: because where we evaluate him last, oh, he's worth a

90
00:04:51,188 --> 00:04:53,708
Speaker 1: third round pick or wherever you had him in the draft. No,

91
00:04:54,068 --> 00:04:55,828
Speaker 1: But I think that's where you look at to try

92
00:04:55,908 --> 00:04:58,748
Speaker 1: to says what his future possibly could be. You saw

93
00:04:58,868 --> 00:05:01,988
Speaker 1: different traits, You saw different things within him to possibly

94
00:05:01,988 --> 00:05:04,628
Speaker 1: put a first round grade, a second round grade wherever

95
00:05:04,748 --> 00:05:06,948
Speaker 1: teams might have had him. And now as you look

96
00:05:06,988 --> 00:05:09,308
Speaker 1: at the short sample size that you've had of him

97
00:05:09,348 --> 00:05:11,548
Speaker 1: so far, do you see some of those trades come

98
00:05:11,588 --> 00:05:13,828
Speaker 1: into fruition. Do you see him making some of the

99
00:05:13,868 --> 00:05:16,108
Speaker 1: throws that you saw coming out of college or do

100
00:05:16,148 --> 00:05:18,028
Speaker 1: you not see them? I think that's where you start

101
00:05:18,148 --> 00:05:20,388
Speaker 1: and you say, all right, let's see if it's followed

102
00:05:20,388 --> 00:05:22,988
Speaker 1: through and if we plug him into our system. Do

103
00:05:23,028 --> 00:05:26,068
Speaker 1: we think we can further develop him in that offense

104
00:05:26,108 --> 00:05:28,508
Speaker 1: and see that those things can come true for our team.

105
00:05:28,748 --> 00:05:30,748
Speaker 1: Are you making a trade for Trade Lance now and

106
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:32,428
Speaker 1: say all right, yeah, we're gonna trade for him and

107
00:05:32,468 --> 00:05:34,228
Speaker 1: this guy's going to be the future of our franchise.

108
00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:36,908
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. You have no idea how things are gonna

109
00:05:36,908 --> 00:05:39,348
Speaker 1: play out in San Francisco. Fast forward a few months.

110
00:05:39,428 --> 00:05:41,908
Speaker 1: He may end up brock Purdi's backup. Well, now you

111
00:05:41,988 --> 00:05:43,868
Speaker 1: evaluate him, and you assess him. He said, all right,

112
00:05:43,988 --> 00:05:46,308
Speaker 1: he's a backup quarterback in the NFL. Now we can

113
00:05:46,388 --> 00:05:49,028
Speaker 1: possibly make a trade based off of that. It's almost

114
00:05:49,068 --> 00:05:51,908
Speaker 1: impossible right now to say, all right, Trey Lance is

115
00:05:51,948 --> 00:05:54,068
Speaker 1: worth a first round draft pick and put a specific

116
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:56,908
Speaker 1: number on that pick right now. But you try to

117
00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:58,188
Speaker 1: go back into the draft and I ask you a

118
00:05:58,268 --> 00:06:00,268
Speaker 1: questions from the table, and you can get sure and

119
00:06:00,308 --> 00:06:02,868
Speaker 1: Colleen as well, we've got the number two over all

120
00:06:02,868 --> 00:06:04,788
Speaker 1: pick from that draft, Zach Wilson, or we have a

121
00:06:04,788 --> 00:06:06,388
Speaker 1: full sample size, and it looks like the Jets have

122
00:06:06,428 --> 00:06:08,428
Speaker 1: said he's just not our guy, right, and then you

123
00:06:08,508 --> 00:06:11,708
Speaker 1: got Trey Lance. It is great unknown who would garner

124
00:06:11,828 --> 00:06:13,908
Speaker 1: more on the trade market and you think a Trey

125
00:06:14,428 --> 00:06:16,988
Speaker 1: Unknown who's coming off an injury, or Zach Wilson who

126
00:06:16,988 --> 00:06:19,548
Speaker 1: we saw and just wasn't ready yet. Unknown his Lance

127
00:06:19,668 --> 00:06:22,668
Speaker 1: question might be good, and Wilson has played a lot

128
00:06:22,708 --> 00:06:24,748
Speaker 1: and he hasn't looked good, but it's a great question.

129
00:06:24,908 --> 00:06:28,468
Speaker 1: The same draft two and three. Yeah, I know. Well,

130
00:06:28,508 --> 00:06:30,988
Speaker 1: the origin story of the Trey Lance thing is so fascinating.

131
00:06:31,348 --> 00:06:35,068
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan was so thirsty and just so like you

132
00:06:35,108 --> 00:06:37,068
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like he was spitting dust. He's like,

133
00:06:37,428 --> 00:06:39,828
Speaker 1: I need him. I have to have him. It seemed

134
00:06:39,868 --> 00:06:42,788
Speaker 1: wildly irresponsible at the time, but if you remember the

135
00:06:42,908 --> 00:06:45,828
Speaker 1: context of Shanahan just so close and he had a

136
00:06:45,908 --> 00:06:48,708
Speaker 1: quarterback who was limited, and I think he looked around

137
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:51,468
Speaker 1: and he said, I'm the offensive prodigy, and there's these

138
00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:54,468
Speaker 1: Avengers typed quarterbacks like Mahomes and Allen are all these

139
00:06:54,548 --> 00:06:56,668
Speaker 1: I need one of those. I need one. I can't

140
00:06:56,668 --> 00:06:59,108
Speaker 1: win this thing with Jimmy. So I see this guy

141
00:06:59,148 --> 00:07:01,948
Speaker 1: from North Dakota State and I have to have him.

142
00:07:02,148 --> 00:07:04,468
Speaker 1: I have to trade up to get him. And it

143
00:07:04,508 --> 00:07:06,668
Speaker 1: may end up being a cautionary tale. From swinging out

144
00:07:06,668 --> 00:07:08,188
Speaker 1: of your shoes to hit a five hundred foot home

145
00:07:08,228 --> 00:07:10,308
Speaker 1: run in the draft, and you look at somebody. Now

146
00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:13,028
Speaker 1: it's a different story, but somebody like Richardson out of Florida,

147
00:07:13,148 --> 00:07:14,988
Speaker 1: someone's gonna take him because they think they need a

148
00:07:15,028 --> 00:07:17,348
Speaker 1: player of mass destruction, not because they think he's the best.

149
00:07:17,868 --> 00:07:22,348
Speaker 1: I understand Trey Lance twenty one game started since high school,

150
00:07:22,508 --> 00:07:26,348
Speaker 1: since high school. Bryce Young has started twenty seven. He

151
00:07:26,428 --> 00:07:28,668
Speaker 1: hasn't been in the league for two years. Stroud started

152
00:07:28,708 --> 00:07:31,628
Speaker 1: twenty five, levis Is started twenty five. More stars just

153
00:07:31,748 --> 00:07:34,228
Speaker 1: under center, and so I just look at the trail

154
00:07:34,268 --> 00:07:36,308
Speaker 1: list thing and I feel bad for him because it's

155
00:07:36,308 --> 00:07:38,908
Speaker 1: different than Zach Wilson. He wasn't out there and being like, guys,

156
00:07:38,908 --> 00:07:40,668
Speaker 1: can this guy make a player? What? He was out

157
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:42,028
Speaker 1: there in five seconds in the rain and then he

158
00:07:42,068 --> 00:07:44,148
Speaker 1: was gone. So I look at him and I look

159
00:07:44,148 --> 00:07:45,868
Speaker 1: at him, and I feel like he is so linked

160
00:07:45,948 --> 00:07:48,388
Speaker 1: right now this season to him and Jordan Love. Of

161
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:50,748
Speaker 1: these guys who have really important jobs in the scheme

162
00:07:50,788 --> 00:07:52,508
Speaker 1: of things are in both first round picks, but we

163
00:07:52,588 --> 00:07:54,748
Speaker 1: don't know squat about them. I don't know if that

164
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:56,628
Speaker 1: guy's good. I don't know if Matt Florida knows that

165
00:07:56,628 --> 00:07:58,548
Speaker 1: guy's good. The only thing you would try to look

166
00:07:58,548 --> 00:08:02,068
Speaker 1: at with the forty nine ers is Shanahan must know

167
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,388
Speaker 1: if he's got it, at least from being in practice

168
00:08:04,388 --> 00:08:06,788
Speaker 1: with him so much and it's going through so many drills,

169
00:08:06,788 --> 00:08:08,548
Speaker 1: Like can't Kyle Shannon look at him, look at Trey

170
00:08:08,628 --> 00:08:10,468
Speaker 1: Lance and be like, look, I know it's been rough

171
00:08:10,508 --> 00:08:12,508
Speaker 1: and he got hurt, but believe me he's got it.

172
00:08:12,908 --> 00:08:15,268
Speaker 1: Or you know when you started training camping Brock parties

173
00:08:15,268 --> 00:08:16,748
Speaker 1: out there and it's just like it's an afterthought, then

174
00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:19,188
Speaker 1: it becomes a cautionary tale again of like don't be

175
00:08:19,268 --> 00:08:21,308
Speaker 1: so crazy at the draft where you just have to

176
00:08:21,348 --> 00:08:23,828
Speaker 1: find the next Patrick Mahomes who would do anything. And

177
00:08:23,868 --> 00:08:25,308
Speaker 1: I think that's what they might have done. I mean,

178
00:08:25,308 --> 00:08:27,908
Speaker 1: it was hard to justify that pick that they made,

179
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:29,268
Speaker 1: in that move that they made. He even see it

180
00:08:29,268 --> 00:08:31,628
Speaker 1: out a year and it may have blown up in

181
00:08:31,628 --> 00:08:33,828
Speaker 1: their face. What's amazing is that in the last two

182
00:08:33,908 --> 00:08:36,228
Speaker 1: years since they've drafted Trey Lance, they went to an

183
00:08:36,308 --> 00:08:39,188
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game one year, an NFC champions Game next year.

184
00:08:39,228 --> 00:08:42,068
Speaker 1: Despite what appears to be at the time at the

185
00:08:42,148 --> 00:08:45,428
Speaker 1: moment right now, compared to the other talent at the

186
00:08:45,468 --> 00:08:48,148
Speaker 1: top of that draft, perhaps a with on the third

187
00:08:48,348 --> 00:08:50,508
Speaker 1: roll pick and training two first round picks. I know,

188
00:08:50,708 --> 00:08:53,588
Speaker 1: I honestly, I hate this so much for Trey Lance

189
00:08:54,068 --> 00:08:56,948
Speaker 1: because of all the expectations that were put upon him,

190
00:08:56,948 --> 00:08:58,868
Speaker 1: and he had no control over that. He had no

191
00:08:58,948 --> 00:09:01,868
Speaker 1: control over where he went in the draft or if

192
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:03,628
Speaker 1: a team was going to trade up for him, and

193
00:09:03,628 --> 00:09:06,508
Speaker 1: then to get hurt the second week and watch the

194
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:10,748
Speaker 1: quarterback that the team was trying to distance themselves from

195
00:09:10,788 --> 00:09:14,228
Speaker 1: the entire time that I've been with this team, I'm

196
00:09:14,268 --> 00:09:17,108
Speaker 1: sure that was difficult for him to watch and see

197
00:09:17,188 --> 00:09:20,668
Speaker 1: Jimmy g do such a great job with that offense

198
00:09:20,748 --> 00:09:24,108
Speaker 1: and then watch him go down and have another guy

199
00:09:24,388 --> 00:09:28,908
Speaker 1: come in and do even better than anyone on that team,

200
00:09:29,028 --> 00:09:31,908
Speaker 1: and you have it would be a lot easier, I think,

201
00:09:32,188 --> 00:09:37,188
Speaker 1: to assess the value of Trey Lance. If you didn't

202
00:09:37,228 --> 00:09:40,908
Speaker 1: have a finalist for Rookie Offensive Player of the Year

203
00:09:41,188 --> 00:09:44,628
Speaker 1: sitting on your roster, a guy who won his first

204
00:09:44,788 --> 00:09:48,708
Speaker 1: seven starts and took the team to an NFC championship game.

205
00:09:49,068 --> 00:09:52,668
Speaker 1: This is not a great situation. And we talked about

206
00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:56,828
Speaker 1: the game that Brat Purty or that Trey Lance played

207
00:09:56,948 --> 00:10:01,188
Speaker 1: in Chicago and the driving rain and that you can't avalue.

208
00:10:01,188 --> 00:10:03,548
Speaker 1: You can't. That doesn't even count for me as an

209
00:10:03,548 --> 00:10:06,428
Speaker 1: actual game that you can really evaluate, and you have

210
00:10:06,988 --> 00:10:11,668
Speaker 1: Purty who comes in and plays in Seattle. That game

211
00:10:11,708 --> 00:10:16,668
Speaker 1: for me was the defining moment for Brock Purty. And

212
00:10:17,148 --> 00:10:19,988
Speaker 1: you wondered whether or not he would wilt on the

213
00:10:20,108 --> 00:10:24,188
Speaker 1: road in a tough environment. This was a playoff type

214
00:10:24,268 --> 00:10:28,628
Speaker 1: atmosphere in his second career star and what did he do?

215
00:10:28,668 --> 00:10:31,988
Speaker 1: Two hundred and seventeen passing yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions.

216
00:10:32,228 --> 00:10:35,828
Speaker 1: I mean even in that game against Tom Brady and

217
00:10:35,868 --> 00:10:39,868
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. This was Brady's homecoming to the Bay Area

218
00:10:40,188 --> 00:10:43,588
Speaker 1: and opening drive touchdown before So I was talking about

219
00:10:43,588 --> 00:10:45,708
Speaker 1: Trey Lance because it was was drafted high. Yeah, yeah, that's

220
00:10:45,748 --> 00:10:48,748
Speaker 1: that's that's not a real reason years ago, because when

221
00:10:48,788 --> 00:10:52,028
Speaker 1: the draft evaluators are all paid six figures and there's

222
00:10:52,028 --> 00:10:53,708
Speaker 1: a room of twenty of them, and they all come

223
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:56,788
Speaker 1: to a consensus and say, Brock Purty is thirty two

224
00:10:56,828 --> 00:10:59,588
Speaker 1: teams and Brock Purty is a sixth round pick in

225
00:10:59,628 --> 00:11:02,268
Speaker 1: thirty two teams, and then all the same evaluators nod

226
00:11:02,268 --> 00:11:04,268
Speaker 1: their head at Trey Lance and the three there has

227
00:11:04,508 --> 00:11:09,228
Speaker 1: to be some talent disparity and that Tray Lance can evaluate. Yeah,

228
00:11:09,668 --> 00:11:13,228
Speaker 1: third overall to the last pit. And now you're telling

229
00:11:13,268 --> 00:11:15,468
Speaker 1: me the last pig is better. And we're still so

230
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,748
Speaker 1: close to that draft. It's not like you can say,

231
00:11:17,748 --> 00:11:19,828
Speaker 1: all right, well we drafted him. He just didn't have

232
00:11:19,868 --> 00:11:21,788
Speaker 1: the intangibles, he didn't work hard enough, all of these

233
00:11:21,788 --> 00:11:24,708
Speaker 1: different same situations. Yeah, and also like you can't you

234
00:11:24,708 --> 00:11:26,948
Speaker 1: can't see Tray Glance is a bust. No, he's not.

235
00:11:27,028 --> 00:11:29,908
Speaker 1: He hasn't been. Like, that's not it's not his fault.

236
00:11:29,948 --> 00:11:33,988
Speaker 1: That's why it's so difficult at DNPA. Yeah, would you

237
00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:37,188
Speaker 1: say it's not my problem? Yeah, I like that Niners problem.

238
00:11:37,748 --> 00:11:40,148
Speaker 1: So good luck with that. Um, we hope you can

239
00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:46,508
Speaker 1: figure that out. John Lynch, were now welcome to the show.

240
00:11:46,668 --> 00:11:48,748
Speaker 1: Former general manager in the league. He's got three Super

241
00:11:48,748 --> 00:11:50,908
Speaker 1: Bowl rings and he's a friend of ours. Let's welcome in,

242
00:11:51,028 --> 00:11:57,468
Speaker 1: Scott pet what's up, Good morning, everybody. Great to see you,

243
00:11:58,708 --> 00:12:02,548
Speaker 1: Great to see you. Our NFL network insider Ian Rappaport

244
00:12:03,068 --> 00:12:08,388
Speaker 1: reported that Lamar Jack recruited Odell Beckham Junior to Baltimore,

245
00:12:08,828 --> 00:12:11,868
Speaker 1: even though Lamar's future with the Ravens still seems very

246
00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:13,988
Speaker 1: up in the air, and he demanded a trade less

247
00:12:13,988 --> 00:12:17,708
Speaker 1: than two weeks ago. We have seen similar things happen

248
00:12:17,828 --> 00:12:21,468
Speaker 1: in a lot of different situations where Aaron Rodgers now

249
00:12:21,468 --> 00:12:23,828
Speaker 1: in New York seems to be the favor of signing

250
00:12:23,828 --> 00:12:26,708
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Would a front office have a problem

251
00:12:26,708 --> 00:12:30,548
Speaker 1: with a quarterback seemingly building his own team or should

252
00:12:30,548 --> 00:12:35,588
Speaker 1: that be seen as a benefit, Peter, It's absolutely a benefit.

253
00:12:35,628 --> 00:12:37,388
Speaker 1: I don't think he is a front office member or

254
00:12:37,388 --> 00:12:40,148
Speaker 1: a head coach that you should have any problem with

255
00:12:40,148 --> 00:12:43,428
Speaker 1: one of your good players that understands the culture of

256
00:12:43,468 --> 00:12:46,628
Speaker 1: your organization wanting to bring in people that they know

257
00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:48,628
Speaker 1: that can make you a better team. You know, a

258
00:12:48,748 --> 00:12:52,668
Speaker 1: front office members and head coaches were always telling players

259
00:12:52,668 --> 00:12:55,788
Speaker 1: and everyone around the organization to throw your ego out right,

260
00:12:55,908 --> 00:12:58,108
Speaker 1: do what is best for the team. Anything that you

261
00:12:58,148 --> 00:13:01,228
Speaker 1: can do, be a good teammate. This is all that's

262
00:13:01,228 --> 00:13:03,708
Speaker 1: happening here. If you've got a player on your football team,

263
00:13:03,868 --> 00:13:07,628
Speaker 1: and as long as everyone understands the lines of leadership

264
00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:09,828
Speaker 1: and who's going to make the final decisions, if you

265
00:13:09,828 --> 00:13:12,908
Speaker 1: can have a player, find another player, or encourage another

266
00:13:12,988 --> 00:13:15,748
Speaker 1: good player to come in, and that's going to fit

267
00:13:15,828 --> 00:13:18,308
Speaker 1: your culture, and make you a better football team, have

268
00:13:18,508 --> 00:13:20,028
Speaker 1: at it. Man. We used to do that at the

269
00:13:20,068 --> 00:13:22,588
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. And when we brought in Junior say out,

270
00:13:22,588 --> 00:13:25,628
Speaker 1: when we brought in Corey Dillon, Randy Moss, every one

271
00:13:25,628 --> 00:13:29,188
Speaker 1: of those players and other players, Wes Welker, they had

272
00:13:29,268 --> 00:13:33,068
Speaker 1: advocates in our building Bill and I listen to those players.

273
00:13:33,148 --> 00:13:37,068
Speaker 1: We enjoyed when those players helped us recruit the other players.

274
00:13:37,268 --> 00:13:39,228
Speaker 1: So to me, if it can help you build a

275
00:13:39,268 --> 00:13:42,108
Speaker 1: team and the guy's the right culture fit, right on, man,

276
00:13:42,228 --> 00:13:47,948
Speaker 1: let's go That happens in every job everywhere. People want

277
00:13:47,948 --> 00:13:52,668
Speaker 1: to bring in their people friends. Maybe if they know

278
00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:55,308
Speaker 1: that these people can do a good job and will

279
00:13:55,348 --> 00:13:58,228
Speaker 1: help with the success of an organization, then it makes

280
00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:01,508
Speaker 1: total sense. So speaking of quarterbacks who like to help

281
00:14:01,548 --> 00:14:04,388
Speaker 1: out in the front office, let's talk about this situation,

282
00:14:04,668 --> 00:14:07,628
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodger situation. Who has the most leverage here,

283
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:12,948
Speaker 1: the Packers, the Jets or Aaron Rodgers himself, which kind

284
00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:15,948
Speaker 1: of seems like he's holding up the situation. What's going on?

285
00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:19,148
Speaker 1: Scott College. I gotta tell you College, I think the

286
00:14:19,188 --> 00:14:21,028
Speaker 1: person with or the group of people with the most

287
00:14:21,108 --> 00:14:23,108
Speaker 1: leverage right now is the Green Bay Packers, and that

288
00:14:23,228 --> 00:14:27,348
Speaker 1: happened during Aaron Rodgers State of the Union address on

289
00:14:27,388 --> 00:14:30,908
Speaker 1: the Pat McAfee show. He shifted everything into the hand

290
00:14:31,028 --> 00:14:33,268
Speaker 1: of the Packers because he told the world he wasn't

291
00:14:33,268 --> 00:14:35,508
Speaker 1: going to be there, and he didn't want to be there.

292
00:14:35,788 --> 00:14:38,068
Speaker 1: The Jets have said publicly they want him, They're going

293
00:14:38,108 --> 00:14:41,748
Speaker 1: to take him. Every way you turn here, it looks

294
00:14:41,748 --> 00:14:44,108
Speaker 1: like he's going The Packers are sitting there every time

295
00:14:44,188 --> 00:14:47,308
Speaker 1: someone says something and they're thinking, Okay, these two twos

296
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:49,868
Speaker 1: might be great, but I might be able to get more.

297
00:14:50,148 --> 00:14:53,148
Speaker 1: So to me, the player knows he's not going back,

298
00:14:53,548 --> 00:14:55,108
Speaker 1: the team knows that they're not going to have to

299
00:14:55,148 --> 00:14:57,988
Speaker 1: take him back, and there's no way that the Jets

300
00:14:57,988 --> 00:15:00,108
Speaker 1: can ever back out of this deal. The way things

301
00:15:00,148 --> 00:15:02,388
Speaker 1: had been talked about publicly, the way the Jet fan

302
00:15:02,468 --> 00:15:04,188
Speaker 1: base is, the way the city of New York is

303
00:15:04,228 --> 00:15:08,628
Speaker 1: right right now about Aaron Rodgers. There's absolutely no turning back.

304
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:10,988
Speaker 1: So the leverage sits in the hands of the Packers

305
00:15:11,068 --> 00:15:14,708
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, for sure. We heard GM Joe Douglas

306
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:16,988
Speaker 1: the other day say Aaron is coming, he is on

307
00:15:17,268 --> 00:15:20,148
Speaker 1: his way, and a lot of that is surrounding around

308
00:15:20,308 --> 00:15:23,148
Speaker 1: draft picks. And as the draft is coming up, there's

309
00:15:23,148 --> 00:15:28,468
Speaker 1: so much excitement around Boston College's receivers Zay Flowers Scott

310
00:15:28,508 --> 00:15:30,788
Speaker 1: from your opinion, why do you think the hype has

311
00:15:30,828 --> 00:15:35,148
Speaker 1: grown so much on this young player? Well, Jason, I

312
00:15:35,228 --> 00:15:37,588
Speaker 1: think the hype is growing because he's a good player.

313
00:15:37,748 --> 00:15:40,388
Speaker 1: That's where the whole thing starts. It's also not a

314
00:15:40,388 --> 00:15:44,988
Speaker 1: great draft with top number one future receivers and to

315
00:15:45,028 --> 00:15:46,908
Speaker 1: be when you look at day Flowers, which I've spent

316
00:15:46,948 --> 00:15:50,308
Speaker 1: a lot of time look at him, he yes, is undersize,

317
00:15:50,348 --> 00:15:53,348
Speaker 1: He's not the ideal prototype size that you want. But

318
00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:56,868
Speaker 1: he is fast, he's quick, he's smart. The other thing

319
00:15:56,948 --> 00:15:58,708
Speaker 1: is there's a lot of fast players and a lot

320
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:01,308
Speaker 1: of quick players that can't seem to get separation or

321
00:16:01,388 --> 00:16:04,468
Speaker 1: get open. He gets separation, he gets open, and he

322
00:16:04,508 --> 00:16:07,588
Speaker 1: has tremendous ball skills and he catches the ball. Is

323
00:16:07,628 --> 00:16:10,468
Speaker 1: crazy that sound. Now here's the other thing. You look

324
00:16:10,468 --> 00:16:13,108
Speaker 1: at who he is and how he's built. He is

325
00:16:13,228 --> 00:16:16,268
Speaker 1: all day tough. He's the fourteenth of fourteen kids. He's

326
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:20,228
Speaker 1: been fighting for everything his entire life. And he has versatility.

327
00:16:20,268 --> 00:16:22,948
Speaker 1: He can play inside, he can play outside, and he

328
00:16:23,028 --> 00:16:25,428
Speaker 1: can return. But here's one of the other things I

329
00:16:25,468 --> 00:16:28,228
Speaker 1: think has gone overlooked. Last year, he could have come

330
00:16:28,268 --> 00:16:31,028
Speaker 1: out of Boston College. He could have made money. He's

331
00:16:31,028 --> 00:16:33,908
Speaker 1: a guy who's lifestyle, you know, he probably could have

332
00:16:33,988 --> 00:16:36,108
Speaker 1: used a little bit of money. But he sat there.

333
00:16:36,388 --> 00:16:38,308
Speaker 1: Not only did he not come out early, but he

334
00:16:38,388 --> 00:16:41,308
Speaker 1: chose not to transfer. He showed a degree of loyalty

335
00:16:41,988 --> 00:16:44,828
Speaker 1: to the program and the people that were there, and

336
00:16:45,028 --> 00:16:48,188
Speaker 1: showed maturity and good decision making. And I'm not saying

337
00:16:48,188 --> 00:16:50,748
Speaker 1: the players that transfer are not good decision makers, or

338
00:16:50,748 --> 00:16:53,108
Speaker 1: players that come out earlier not good decision makers. He

339
00:16:53,188 --> 00:16:55,508
Speaker 1: knew what was best for him, and he was willing

340
00:16:55,508 --> 00:16:59,068
Speaker 1: to settle his ego and make a good decision for

341
00:16:59,188 --> 00:17:01,988
Speaker 1: himself and his future because he knows he's getting drafted

342
00:17:02,068 --> 00:17:05,708
Speaker 1: higher now than he ever would have last year. Yeah,

343
00:17:05,708 --> 00:17:07,188
Speaker 1: we had him and we loved him. Scott. We love

344
00:17:07,188 --> 00:17:08,628
Speaker 1: having you two. One of the things we enjoy about

345
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:10,908
Speaker 1: your appearance with Scott as you're always watching and listening

346
00:17:11,028 --> 00:17:13,388
Speaker 1: before you come on. Always you always know what we're

347
00:17:13,428 --> 00:17:16,588
Speaker 1: talking about. In this case, Trey Lance. We're just talking

348
00:17:16,588 --> 00:17:19,548
Speaker 1: about him. Last segment, you are listening. We can't really

349
00:17:19,588 --> 00:17:22,348
Speaker 1: put a finger on the Trey Lance state of the nation,

350
00:17:22,748 --> 00:17:27,068
Speaker 1: the legacy, the future Injured comes back. Now it's brought

351
00:17:27,108 --> 00:17:29,508
Speaker 1: Purdy's Kyle, Shannah, just Scott, help us, please just jump

352
00:17:29,508 --> 00:17:31,588
Speaker 1: into this. How should we assess where we are with

353
00:17:31,668 --> 00:17:35,068
Speaker 1: Trey Lance right now? Well, here's gonna say, Kyle. You

354
00:17:35,068 --> 00:17:36,748
Speaker 1: mentioned that I watch you guys before I come on.

355
00:17:36,788 --> 00:17:38,428
Speaker 1: And there's a reason, and I don't say this for

356
00:17:38,468 --> 00:17:40,748
Speaker 1: any reason, that it's true. You guys know what you're

357
00:17:40,788 --> 00:17:42,588
Speaker 1: talking about. All of you know what you're talking about.

358
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:44,708
Speaker 1: You do a terrific job. I learned when I listened

359
00:17:44,748 --> 00:17:48,188
Speaker 1: to you. Now, in the case of this, I think

360
00:17:48,228 --> 00:17:52,388
Speaker 1: you guys nailed it. He's only played seventeen games in college.

361
00:17:52,428 --> 00:17:54,188
Speaker 1: That was all we had to look at. It was

362
00:17:54,228 --> 00:17:57,108
Speaker 1: at the FCS level, so we never knew really what

363
00:17:57,188 --> 00:18:00,468
Speaker 1: kind of player he was. He's only played four NFL games.

364
00:18:00,668 --> 00:18:03,508
Speaker 1: We're sitting here. We do not have enough information to

365
00:18:03,548 --> 00:18:06,348
Speaker 1: assess who he is, what he is, and what his

366
00:18:06,468 --> 00:18:08,908
Speaker 1: future is. But here's the big thing is I look

367
00:18:08,948 --> 00:18:12,348
Speaker 1: at this. You know you all mention this. He's in

368
00:18:12,348 --> 00:18:15,068
Speaker 1: a situation that's not his fault. He was picked where

369
00:18:15,108 --> 00:18:17,628
Speaker 1: he was picked because a team fell in love with him.

370
00:18:17,868 --> 00:18:20,508
Speaker 1: Good for him. That's great, But what happens this time

371
00:18:20,548 --> 00:18:23,068
Speaker 1: of year that's very unfortunate to players. And I'm wondering

372
00:18:23,108 --> 00:18:26,828
Speaker 1: about a player like Anthony Richardson who, for whatever reason,

373
00:18:26,948 --> 00:18:29,588
Speaker 1: the media falls in love with him. The media promotes him,

374
00:18:29,668 --> 00:18:33,868
Speaker 1: we promote him, and the player becomes this fictional character

375
00:18:34,268 --> 00:18:36,388
Speaker 1: that teams start to fall in love with and start

376
00:18:36,388 --> 00:18:38,628
Speaker 1: to think, Oh, if I can get him and his tools,

377
00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:41,868
Speaker 1: his upside, I'm going to make it great. He's in

378
00:18:41,868 --> 00:18:44,348
Speaker 1: a situation that's not his fault. We don't know what

379
00:18:44,428 --> 00:18:49,348
Speaker 1: he's going to be. Sometimes expectations really derail a player's

380
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:53,148
Speaker 1: career and their ability and chances to develop, and that's

381
00:18:53,148 --> 00:18:55,068
Speaker 1: a problem. And I hope for Trey Lance that that's

382
00:18:55,108 --> 00:18:57,068
Speaker 1: not the case. I hope he gets healthy, and I

383
00:18:57,108 --> 00:19:06,108
Speaker 1: hope that Kyle can get him on track. Perfect play

384
00:19:06,148 --> 00:19:09,308
Speaker 1: to start the outer here a good warner that's not

385
00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:14,828
Speaker 1: lead block. Yesterday, at this time, we were discussing Carson

386
00:19:14,868 --> 00:19:17,228
Speaker 1: Palver's claim that Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in

387
00:19:17,228 --> 00:19:20,588
Speaker 1: the NFL. So some might say that the video you're

388
00:19:20,588 --> 00:19:24,708
Speaker 1: watching disproves that some of those people might be at

389
00:19:24,748 --> 00:19:29,068
Speaker 1: this table. But that discussion led us to the following question.

390
00:19:30,948 --> 00:19:33,108
Speaker 1: I think the interested in debate is is Burrow the

391
00:19:33,148 --> 00:19:35,388
Speaker 1: second best quarterback in the NFL? Like if we're all

392
00:19:35,388 --> 00:19:38,468
Speaker 1: saying is Burrow that guy? Because then there's like six

393
00:19:38,548 --> 00:19:40,268
Speaker 1: dudes they're like, oh, excuse me, hold on with you

394
00:19:40,308 --> 00:19:42,388
Speaker 1: know Dan, you're an Alan and then Jalen, Like I

395
00:19:43,868 --> 00:19:46,028
Speaker 1: still think that I would rather have Alan just because

396
00:19:46,028 --> 00:19:47,668
Speaker 1: I think he is more talented and I think he

397
00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:49,428
Speaker 1: has more stuff going on with the running and everything.

398
00:19:49,428 --> 00:19:50,868
Speaker 1: But now we're in a debate. Yeah, I mean you

399
00:19:50,868 --> 00:19:53,668
Speaker 1: can go into Herbert and Hurts, like both the same

400
00:19:53,748 --> 00:20:01,148
Speaker 1: draft class and we're tremendous talents. It's a great question.

401
00:20:01,428 --> 00:20:04,268
Speaker 1: But one of the quarterbacks that was brought up there,

402
00:20:04,508 --> 00:20:07,268
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, a guy who came into the year last

403
00:20:07,308 --> 00:20:10,268
Speaker 1: season with a lot of question marks coming off that

404
00:20:10,348 --> 00:20:14,228
Speaker 1: wild card game against the Buccaneers and Tom Brady Um.

405
00:20:14,268 --> 00:20:17,668
Speaker 1: But you know, he managed to obviously prove a ton

406
00:20:17,668 --> 00:20:20,668
Speaker 1: of people wrong. Have so much success, go to the court,

407
00:20:20,908 --> 00:20:23,868
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl, throw four touchdowns in that game,

408
00:20:24,188 --> 00:20:26,748
Speaker 1: have a tremendous game aside from the turnover, and the

409
00:20:26,788 --> 00:20:30,908
Speaker 1: season itself was absolutely a win for him and the Eagles.

410
00:20:30,988 --> 00:20:35,188
Speaker 1: So who is your wild card pick to enter this

411
00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:40,788
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts type season for twenty twenty three. Peter the

412
00:20:40,908 --> 00:20:45,468
Speaker 1: lyric in a famous rap hip hops it's a freeway.

413
00:20:47,868 --> 00:20:56,548
Speaker 1: I like big butts, and I cannot such a currency, ladies.

414
00:20:56,668 --> 00:21:02,988
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, allow myself to reintroduce myself. Yea, my name

415
00:21:03,068 --> 00:21:07,828
Speaker 1: is Matthew Stafford. Stafford has been written off already, as

416
00:21:07,828 --> 00:21:10,148
Speaker 1: if this was a one and done and the Rams

417
00:21:10,148 --> 00:21:12,828
Speaker 1: are a terrible team and he's over, and it was

418
00:21:12,868 --> 00:21:16,188
Speaker 1: almost like it was some weird lucid dream that happened

419
00:21:16,228 --> 00:21:19,388
Speaker 1: in that season. We're so far removed from it that

420
00:21:19,428 --> 00:21:24,428
Speaker 1: we forget that Stafford had an unbelievable twenty twenty two season,

421
00:21:24,508 --> 00:21:26,748
Speaker 1: one of the best seasons we've seen from a quarterback

422
00:21:26,788 --> 00:21:29,828
Speaker 1: in recent history, one of the clutchest performances. And I

423
00:21:29,908 --> 00:21:35,148
Speaker 1: add back to this, Stafford Cup are fully healthy. Both

424
00:21:35,348 --> 00:21:39,468
Speaker 1: players plan on participating in the off season this year.

425
00:21:39,908 --> 00:21:42,468
Speaker 1: Neither did a thing in the off season last year.

426
00:21:42,988 --> 00:21:44,788
Speaker 1: Both players have already been at it, and I could

427
00:21:44,788 --> 00:21:47,108
Speaker 1: tell you this, Sean McVay isn't coming back, and Sean

428
00:21:47,188 --> 00:21:49,668
Speaker 1: McVay isn't double downing if he doesn't believe that Matthew

429
00:21:49,668 --> 00:21:52,908
Speaker 1: Stafford is going to be his quarterback, Stafford and McVeagh.

430
00:21:52,988 --> 00:21:55,068
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm revealing anything that's gonna be wild.

431
00:21:55,028 --> 00:21:57,748
Speaker 1: I can't wait. They've been playing tennis, and I say tennis.

432
00:21:57,948 --> 00:22:01,548
Speaker 1: We're talking multiple times a week, playing tennis, getting after

433
00:22:01,588 --> 00:22:04,348
Speaker 1: it in the sweat. And I'm not pickaball, none of that,

434
00:22:04,468 --> 00:22:07,588
Speaker 1: pick not tam. Are they playing as doubles partners or

435
00:22:07,628 --> 00:22:10,348
Speaker 1: against against each other? Okay? And they're getting it in

436
00:22:10,388 --> 00:22:12,068
Speaker 1: And I know that's everyone's drolling their eyes side like

437
00:22:12,228 --> 00:22:15,348
Speaker 1: a shrinker with some stupid nugget about them. No, but

438
00:22:15,428 --> 00:22:17,508
Speaker 1: they they're they're they're at a good place right now.

439
00:22:17,628 --> 00:22:21,948
Speaker 1: And I believe that Stafford last year had the unfortunate injury,

440
00:22:21,988 --> 00:22:25,508
Speaker 1: but even before that had such a wild offseason of

441
00:22:25,948 --> 00:22:28,988
Speaker 1: this banquet, this commercial, this guy, and I don't blame

442
00:22:29,028 --> 00:22:33,188
Speaker 1: them at all. This year, these guys are already stacking

443
00:22:33,228 --> 00:22:37,188
Speaker 1: the chips of everyone saying that the NFC West is

444
00:22:37,308 --> 00:22:39,828
Speaker 1: terrible or the NFC is wide, But what about us?

445
00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:43,108
Speaker 1: And I think Matthew Stafford, when healthy, can still throw

446
00:22:43,148 --> 00:22:45,068
Speaker 1: the ball as well as anyone. The question is his health.

447
00:22:45,228 --> 00:22:48,068
Speaker 1: And right now I'm being told he looks good, he's

448
00:22:48,068 --> 00:22:49,708
Speaker 1: looking the part, and I think he's going to be

449
00:22:49,788 --> 00:22:52,068
Speaker 1: participating in all the offseason stuff, so we'll know if

450
00:22:52,068 --> 00:22:54,388
Speaker 1: his if he's got bothers with injuries or not by

451
00:22:54,428 --> 00:22:55,948
Speaker 1: the time the season starts. But I think he's gonna

452
00:22:55,988 --> 00:22:59,468
Speaker 1: re enter that conversation. Yeah, it's burrowing mahomes, but I'm

453
00:22:59,468 --> 00:23:02,868
Speaker 1: gonna put Stafford's name back in there and say, don't

454
00:23:02,908 --> 00:23:12,508
Speaker 1: you forget about me? Simple minds? Did you with lyrics?

455
00:23:13,228 --> 00:23:20,388
Speaker 1: You simple minds? That was amazing? Tis Breakfast Club? It's

456
00:23:20,388 --> 00:23:23,268
Speaker 1: really good. I bet McVeigh just works that baseline like

457
00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:26,228
Speaker 1: a maniac, like a young Michael Chang or something. Got

458
00:23:26,228 --> 00:23:31,908
Speaker 1: the right gear on right? Yeah, Veronica point maybe? Um

459
00:23:32,028 --> 00:23:35,468
Speaker 1: no picks of mcvaghan and Stafford playing tennis where they

460
00:23:35,548 --> 00:23:43,988
Speaker 1: play of course? Yeah? All right, so Peter did lyrics.

461
00:23:44,388 --> 00:23:46,508
Speaker 1: There's a there's a song you talked about a guy

462
00:23:46,668 --> 00:23:49,028
Speaker 1: kind of reintroduced himself. There's an other songs. Can't you

463
00:23:49,068 --> 00:23:51,628
Speaker 1: see me standing here with my back against the record machine?

464
00:23:51,628 --> 00:23:53,548
Speaker 1: Ain't the worst of seeing kid? You see what I mean?

465
00:23:54,028 --> 00:23:59,548
Speaker 1: Might as well jump means you know that song songed Van.

466
00:24:00,428 --> 00:24:03,108
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a guy making a jump, not rejoining

467
00:24:03,148 --> 00:24:07,308
Speaker 1: the party. Um, there's the team I swear they still exist.

468
00:24:07,748 --> 00:24:10,788
Speaker 1: They don't have a really high, glamorous draft pick, they

469
00:24:10,868 --> 00:24:14,268
Speaker 1: weren't in the playoffs last year, but I swear the

470
00:24:14,308 --> 00:24:17,308
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers still exists. I don't know if we've mentioned

471
00:24:17,348 --> 00:24:19,788
Speaker 1: their name since December. I don't know if we've talked

472
00:24:19,788 --> 00:24:22,268
Speaker 1: about this guy. But I'm into Kenny Pickett. I'm developing

473
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:26,028
Speaker 1: a sort of football crush and Kenny Pickett. Kenny Pickett,

474
00:24:26,228 --> 00:24:29,988
Speaker 1: this sleepy little run won his last five games that

475
00:24:30,028 --> 00:24:33,348
Speaker 1: he started and finished. He threw one interception in his

476
00:24:33,468 --> 00:24:37,548
Speaker 1: last eight games. He had two game winning touchdown passes

477
00:24:37,548 --> 00:24:39,868
Speaker 1: in the final minute of the fourth quarter, the first

478
00:24:39,948 --> 00:24:43,548
Speaker 1: rookie and history to do it. Guys. I like Kenny Pickett,

479
00:24:43,788 --> 00:24:46,188
Speaker 1: and I know that they're not super sexy, and it's

480
00:24:46,228 --> 00:24:48,148
Speaker 1: not all this guy and that guy in Burrow and

481
00:24:48,228 --> 00:24:50,628
Speaker 1: Alan and Mahomes. How cool would it be if in

482
00:24:50,668 --> 00:24:56,148
Speaker 1: that crazy AFC quarterback Fray, another challenger arose and we're like, wow,

483
00:24:56,188 --> 00:24:58,708
Speaker 1: pickets really slick it, slinging it. It's got pick it

484
00:24:58,828 --> 00:25:01,668
Speaker 1: to pickens. And I'd like what they did last year.

485
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:04,068
Speaker 1: And if you if you google Kenny Pickett right now,

486
00:25:04,388 --> 00:25:07,388
Speaker 1: there's just nothing, there's no story there's no Instagram post,

487
00:25:07,388 --> 00:25:09,268
Speaker 1: there's no tweet, there's no cool thing of him working

488
00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:11,588
Speaker 1: out with teammates. It's Mike Tomlin saying work centered about

489
00:25:11,628 --> 00:25:14,748
Speaker 1: his second year. It's so Pittsburgh. It's just perfect, low

490
00:25:14,828 --> 00:25:18,348
Speaker 1: key workman like. I love how he finished the year.

491
00:25:18,508 --> 00:25:20,508
Speaker 1: I love how he's gonna start next year. If you're

492
00:25:20,508 --> 00:25:22,148
Speaker 1: looking for someone to be like, Wow, what the hell

493
00:25:22,188 --> 00:25:24,708
Speaker 1: I didn't see Kenny Pickett, I do. I want to

494
00:25:24,748 --> 00:25:27,748
Speaker 1: know right now. I've got stock right now if you

495
00:25:27,788 --> 00:25:29,908
Speaker 1: want some, it's there to be had. All the other

496
00:25:29,908 --> 00:25:31,548
Speaker 1: stock for all these other guys was gone. If you

497
00:25:31,588 --> 00:25:33,388
Speaker 1: had Jalen hurt Stock to being the last year, God

498
00:25:33,388 --> 00:25:35,628
Speaker 1: bless you. You have an eight bedroom mansion. Now I

499
00:25:35,668 --> 00:25:37,588
Speaker 1: have pick at Stock. I like him. I like the

500
00:25:37,588 --> 00:25:39,588
Speaker 1: way it conducts his business. I like with Pittsburgh's doing

501
00:25:39,668 --> 00:25:43,148
Speaker 1: very quietly around him. Seventeenth pick No one's talking about it.

502
00:25:43,228 --> 00:25:45,388
Speaker 1: I like Pickett. All right, Well, I appreciate you from

503
00:25:45,468 --> 00:25:48,228
Speaker 1: from ukb's last year, Kenny Pickett. You were saying from

504
00:25:48,228 --> 00:25:50,948
Speaker 1: early on, put Kenny Pickett in hell. I'm even recalling

505
00:25:50,948 --> 00:25:52,468
Speaker 1: for him to possibly be a Rookie of the Year.

506
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:54,148
Speaker 1: It got in there a play. Well, so I Love,

507
00:25:54,788 --> 00:25:56,908
Speaker 1: I'm going on another guy that needs to step on

508
00:25:56,948 --> 00:25:59,388
Speaker 1: the scene. And if we're talking about lyrics, he talked

509
00:25:59,388 --> 00:26:02,428
Speaker 1: about jay z as a song with j Cole. Every

510
00:26:02,548 --> 00:26:06,948
Speaker 1: day a star is they talked about it. Another quarterback.

511
00:26:06,988 --> 00:26:09,028
Speaker 1: Guys a ton of question marks because of the guy

512
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:12,748
Speaker 1: that precedes him. It's Jordan Love out in Green Bay.

513
00:26:13,188 --> 00:26:15,868
Speaker 1: What an opportunity for him to step on the scene.

514
00:26:16,068 --> 00:26:18,468
Speaker 1: There's been so many question marks. Every day of the

515
00:26:18,468 --> 00:26:21,748
Speaker 1: off season, We've talked about Aaron Rodgers leaving Green Bay

516
00:26:21,988 --> 00:26:24,948
Speaker 1: because of Jordan Love being there and la floor and

517
00:26:25,068 --> 00:26:29,268
Speaker 1: the organization feels comfortable with him stepping up, him stepping

518
00:26:29,308 --> 00:26:31,388
Speaker 1: on the scene, playing at an elite level. It is

519
00:26:31,468 --> 00:26:34,148
Speaker 1: all set up for him. He's going into his fourth season,

520
00:26:34,228 --> 00:26:37,028
Speaker 1: he's only twenty four and a perfect thing about that.

521
00:26:37,068 --> 00:26:39,668
Speaker 1: We just watched Daniel Jones do it well. They pick

522
00:26:39,748 --> 00:26:41,908
Speaker 1: up his fifth year option. We don't know, but if

523
00:26:41,948 --> 00:26:43,948
Speaker 1: he goes out there and he balls and he has

524
00:26:44,028 --> 00:26:47,068
Speaker 1: himself a season we're talking about. Jordan Love is one

525
00:26:47,108 --> 00:26:50,228
Speaker 1: of the better quarterbacks in the NFC. Back to Brinks

526
00:26:50,268 --> 00:26:53,228
Speaker 1: truck up and now he's cashing in. Because when you

527
00:26:53,308 --> 00:26:56,108
Speaker 1: play those first few years in the NFL. Who cares.

528
00:26:56,228 --> 00:26:58,908
Speaker 1: No one's giving you the contract early on anyway. So

529
00:26:59,028 --> 00:27:01,148
Speaker 1: for Jordan Love, this is great. You've been sitting You've

530
00:27:01,148 --> 00:27:05,188
Speaker 1: been watching Aaron Rodgers go to work every angle day.

531
00:27:05,308 --> 00:27:08,068
Speaker 1: Now there's a thousand questions on if he's going to

532
00:27:08,108 --> 00:27:10,508
Speaker 1: be the guy step up to the plate, make a

533
00:27:10,548 --> 00:27:13,188
Speaker 1: giant leap and let a star be born. Are you

534
00:27:13,228 --> 00:27:15,708
Speaker 1: buying stock? Do you have Jordan Love stock? Are you waiting?

535
00:27:15,708 --> 00:27:18,588
Speaker 1: I'm buying low right now, buying low and waiting for

536
00:27:18,628 --> 00:27:22,748
Speaker 1: it to cashing. Okay, all right, all right, guys, people

537
00:27:22,748 --> 00:27:27,028
Speaker 1: that doubted this quarterback, they will indeed be the shook

538
00:27:27,028 --> 00:27:31,148
Speaker 1: once after twenty twenty three? Who is this mob? Deep?

539
00:27:31,468 --> 00:27:34,468
Speaker 1: Come on, Kyle Jameson, got it all right, it's for

540
00:27:34,708 --> 00:27:39,468
Speaker 1: just a small deep? What is the track shoes? Yeah,

541
00:27:39,508 --> 00:27:42,708
Speaker 1: oh you're gonna love look at great. I'm he's more

542
00:27:42,708 --> 00:27:45,588
Speaker 1: of a goody mop then not deep. That's got it? Okay?

543
00:27:45,748 --> 00:27:48,388
Speaker 1: So um yeah, Because like people just kept passing him by.

544
00:27:49,388 --> 00:27:52,468
Speaker 1: The Justin Fields fixed. So listen, let me talk about

545
00:27:52,508 --> 00:27:55,668
Speaker 1: this because last year we saw Justin Fields struggle in

546
00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:58,508
Speaker 1: the passing game because look when he was working with

547
00:27:58,948 --> 00:28:01,788
Speaker 1: at the pass catch or position, he really didn't get

548
00:28:01,828 --> 00:28:04,188
Speaker 1: any help whatsoever. He was tremendous when he took off,

549
00:28:04,468 --> 00:28:06,388
Speaker 1: was able to run and use his legs. But now

550
00:28:06,788 --> 00:28:09,988
Speaker 1: this team brought in Dj Moore, who's coming off a

551
00:28:10,068 --> 00:28:14,388
Speaker 1: career year, had seven touchdowns with the Panthers, and look

552
00:28:14,388 --> 00:28:17,548
Speaker 1: at the quarterback that's the quarterbacks that he was playing

553
00:28:17,588 --> 00:28:21,628
Speaker 1: with there. This team has a flew of draft capital

554
00:28:21,708 --> 00:28:26,268
Speaker 1: that they can use to help protect Justin fields. He

555
00:28:26,308 --> 00:28:28,868
Speaker 1: was sacked fifty five times last year. I mean, part

556
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:30,988
Speaker 1: of the problem is because he didn't have anyone to

557
00:28:30,988 --> 00:28:33,588
Speaker 1: throw too. So it all kind of works together here.

558
00:28:34,068 --> 00:28:36,788
Speaker 1: And I think that when you look at that division,

559
00:28:37,308 --> 00:28:40,628
Speaker 1: it is obviously changing. It is in flux. This is

560
00:28:40,708 --> 00:28:44,388
Speaker 1: a situation where you bring in some help for Justin

561
00:28:44,468 --> 00:28:48,988
Speaker 1: fields and he can bring you some really huge changes

562
00:28:49,268 --> 00:28:52,068
Speaker 1: in Chicago. My favorite thing about Dj Moore, I've said

563
00:28:52,068 --> 00:28:54,788
Speaker 1: this is that he already, at twenty five years old,

564
00:28:54,868 --> 00:28:57,308
Speaker 1: has more receiving yards than the Bears all time leaders

565
00:28:58,148 --> 00:29:00,828
Speaker 1: Tony Morton. Yeah, it's about five thousand and change. He's

566
00:29:00,868 --> 00:29:02,948
Speaker 1: twenty five. He already has more than the all time leaders.

567
00:29:03,028 --> 00:29:05,788
Speaker 1: I believable, and like all due respect to Dj Moore,

568
00:29:05,828 --> 00:29:07,908
Speaker 1: he's never considered one of the top three guys in

569
00:29:07,948 --> 00:29:09,628
Speaker 1: the league and he's already. That just tells you how

570
00:29:09,628 --> 00:29:11,588
Speaker 1: bad the Bears franchise has been with receivers. Or is

571
00:29:11,628 --> 00:29:15,028
Speaker 1: it a weather thing. It's probably more the first. Actually, yeah,

572
00:29:15,228 --> 00:29:17,708
Speaker 1: there's some bad weather cities that have great receivers. They

573
00:29:17,748 --> 00:29:19,108
Speaker 1: need a guy, and I think they got a guy. Colleen,

574
00:29:19,148 --> 00:29:22,908
Speaker 1: Are you buying Justin Fields? Yes, I'm buying. I saw

575
00:29:23,068 --> 00:29:26,268
Speaker 1: flashes of it last year, didn't you. Yeah, and he

576
00:29:26,388 --> 00:29:29,588
Speaker 1: I saw the flashes with the cast that he had

577
00:29:30,708 --> 00:29:35,308
Speaker 1: anyone bring in talented two weeks where it's like, now,

578
00:29:35,308 --> 00:29:37,348
Speaker 1: hold on, there's a lot of logic actually for you

579
00:29:37,388 --> 00:29:40,908
Speaker 1: have the number one picking someone and moving on. They said, nah,

580
00:29:40,948 --> 00:29:42,628
Speaker 1: get out of here. We're not getting close to the draft.

581
00:29:42,748 --> 00:29:49,028

00:31:05,588 --> 00:31:08,908
Speaker 1: let's talk about one of the best highlights that we

602
00:31:09,028 --> 00:31:11,308
Speaker 1: have seen in recent years. Just goes back to twenty

603
00:31:11,348 --> 00:31:14,268
Speaker 1: twenty one. You guys are playing the Miami Hurricanes. We've

604
00:31:14,308 --> 00:31:17,068
Speaker 1: all seen this play was on loop. It's one of

605
00:31:17,068 --> 00:31:20,388
Speaker 1: the great catches you'll see in college football. Quarterback throws

606
00:31:20,388 --> 00:31:22,108
Speaker 1: it and you go out there and you go out

607
00:31:22,148 --> 00:31:24,628
Speaker 1: and get that thing. Take us through how you went

608
00:31:24,668 --> 00:31:28,068
Speaker 1: through three different defenders in the end zone and managed

609
00:31:28,108 --> 00:31:32,068
Speaker 1: to come down and grab this ball. I just I
