We got something new went up on 11 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: this on the even quote downtimes, where there's no such 12 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: things at downtime. So in the NFL, one of the 13 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: things I wanted to talk about on this segment, Matt, 14 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: is the Quarterback Index we do. Uh. NFL dot Com 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: puts out eight. Yeah, they do it throughout the season 16 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: and they ranked the thirty two starting quarterbacks. Uh. In 17 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: this one they're ranking all fifty nine quarter There were 18 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: fifty nine quarterbacks who started games. Ship, yeah started started 19 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: just guys who started. Uh. Yeah. I don't think he 20 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: was roundn't know if he's ranked on a little but 21 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: it's it's done. By Ali Bompuri. Uh Tom Blair, Gennaro Felice, 22 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: and Dan Parr are the guys who measured this. I 23 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: think they were a little maybe a little unfair to 24 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: some guys on this list. So, and I get it, 25 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: it's tough. You'll be ranking them all. You want to 26 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: start at the top of the bottom, you want to 27 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: go to the bottom. Okay, Well, So the fifty nine 28 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league who started a game in uh 29 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: in this season was Ben d Nucci. That's fair. Yeah, 30 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm glad they didn't kill the dude from I don't 31 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: think they put him on the list because he wasn't 32 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: He's not even a quarterback. He was fair. So Ben 33 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: d Nucci. He played in three games, completed fifty three 34 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: point five percent of his passes, two nineteen yards, no touchdowns, 35 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: no interceptions, two f almost lost. That's a third or 36 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: fourth string guy for Dallas. Yeah, young guys, a rookie, 37 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: seventh roun draft pick in there. It doesn't mean you 38 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: want to a career number fifty eight. Brian Hoyer, Yeah, 39 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: that ship might be sailed. Yeah. I mean I like 40 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer, by the way, I mean I recruited him 41 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: back in his pit days. He wanted to be a 42 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: Pitt panther. Folks. A year ago some of you were 43 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: saying they need to sign it didn't sign. Yes, remember 44 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: that I'm not pashion Hoyer, but I'm not sure that 45 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: was any better. That would not would have been a 46 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: great move. Number fifty seven r G three. I think 47 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: he's done. I think he might be done. Yeah, which 48 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: adds a pretty big need to the Ravens list as 49 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: well that we've not mentioned. You better get a backup 50 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: quarterback run. I'm mu sure McSorley is ready to be that. 51 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: You know, I don't, especially towards a c L. He's 52 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: not healthy either at the end of the last year. 53 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Number fifty six Jake Luton. Yeah, that's that might be. 54 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: I might add it had him last and say he's 55 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: not good. I didn't want to kill him here, but 56 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: he's really not good at all. Yeah, he may not 57 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: be long for the league at all. Number fifty five 58 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: p J. Walker. I thought that was a I didn't 59 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: watch him enough. I guess he played. He played in 60 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: four games, he had one touchdown, passing five interceptions. He's 61 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: the XFL kid that it was impressive. There went back 62 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: to Temple with rule. I thought he was an interesting 63 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: pickup for him. I mean, I don't know that. I 64 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: don't know that he's ready to play in the NFL. 65 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: But I don't know that experiments totally shot yet either. Yeah, 66 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he I think he can 67 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: get better, maybe if they trade Teddy and go in 68 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: somewhere else. It's not a it's not a situation like 69 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: Brian ware where or r G three, where there could 70 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: just completely they can't be. But it was an interesting name. 71 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: Brett Rippon. Yeah, he's kind of falling off to I mean, 72 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: there was a stretch. There are people kind of like them. 73 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: He is what he is too. Yeah, uh, fifty two, 74 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: tied for fifty two. Jeff Driscoll, he runs around a little. 75 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: I mean like he wasn't terrible. I don't. I didn't 76 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: hate him. I think you're some worse guys out there 77 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: who played this year. He had a stretch, he had 78 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: a very short stretch where he looked okay. But people 79 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: in the league will tell you then they get figured out. 80 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Here's the problem with Driscoll is he's 81 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: been sacked times in four games over the last two seasons. 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's a young quarterback that he does know 83 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: when to give her the ball where to go with it. See, 84 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: I would have had him rated ahead of this guy, though. 85 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: Tied tied with him at fifty two was Ryan Finley. 86 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: He stinks. He looks like a high school coach to me. Yeah, 87 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: he's just awful. You know. They beat the Steelers and 88 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: he took him. He ran. They didn't, he didn't. They 89 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: didn't beat the Steelers because of anything that he did 90 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: except for one run, right right, that was it. I 91 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: kind of blame the Steelers for allowing him to run 92 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: at all after they showed it a little because he's 93 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: not a good runner um, and he's not a good thrower, 94 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: which is a problem. Right. Yeah. Fifty one Garrett gil 95 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: Kilby burrows back up next year. I don't think. I 96 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: think they need to get a veteran. A veteran in 97 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: the room might be helpful, right, even like Hoyer. I mean, 98 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,559 Speaker 1: you just don't. Hey, we don't ever want you to play, 99 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: but we need to. Yeah, we need somebody to talk 100 00:05:53,120 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: to talk to him. The fifty one Garrett Gilbert, Okay, 101 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: I mean he's probably a career backup. I don't think 102 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: I don't think his career is in jeopardy though, No. 103 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: Fifty Dwayne Haskins. I think I was wondering when his 104 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: name was gonna be up. I mean I would take 105 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: him over all those guys, of course, just going forward, 106 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: because I think he could be good and there's pedigree there, 107 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: but his type is pretty bad. Tyrod Taylor. Wow, that's 108 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: really tough. That's pretty tough Tyrod Taylor. I didn't get 109 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: a whole lot of opportunity. I think he's still a 110 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: good player or back up. Yeah. I mean again, if 111 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: the Bengals signed Tyrod Taylor, that would be a perfect 112 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: part exactly. That's a good call. Yeah. Forty eight Colt McCoy, 113 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: he is what he'll be forty eight every year. Yeah, 114 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: And folks, that's what you would have been getting last 115 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: year to go get a backup and he probably makes 116 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: seven million years, right. Yeah, it's not cheap, and that 117 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna come close to being competitive in 118 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: the game that he starts for you. Brandon Allen, he's okay, 119 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: I guess I guess I probably where I put him to. 120 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: That's probably, I mean, he's probably maybe he's The Bengals 121 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: think he's that veteran backup behind. Yeah, and I guess 122 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: that's gonna be his long term propnosis forty six Joe Flacco. 123 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: He actually did Okay. I've been wanting to write him off. 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: He did well enough that he may end up sticking 125 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: hanging around in the league another three or four years. 126 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: He might. Yeah, he might be the veteran backup. Probably. 127 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: He hasn't come across as the mentor type. He's kind 128 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: of quiet and whatnot. But if he wants to play, 129 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: somebody will give him a check. Since two thousand and 130 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: twelve when he won the Super Bowl, he's forty four 131 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: and fifty one as a starter. I want a couple 132 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: of games this year. I think, well, no, he played 133 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: for the Jets. He didn't. I thought he was. They didn't. 134 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Did they blew it? They didn't. Okay, the two games 135 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: they won, we're not Donald uh forty five Mike Lennan 136 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: he's pretty bad too. Yeah, but he's he's a career backup. 137 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: That's whup. Some of those guys last a long time, 138 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: make a lot of money. I mean we even't talked 139 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: as Daniel yet, but he's there's like the Chase Daniel category. 140 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: The Colt McCoy's and Glennan's and yeah, yeah, see what 141 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: you think of this one? Forty four Mason Rudolph. I 142 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: guess that's fair. I mean I wouldn't have him the 143 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: top thirty two. You remember, remember I remember writing at 144 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season though before I actually last offseason, 145 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: that Mason Rudolph's closer to the top ten in backups 146 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: and he is the bottom ten and I got I 147 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: got killed. Well, if he's ranking forty four, here he's 148 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: there's thirty two starters, he's twelve and all those names 149 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: we just mentioned. But you trade Mason for any of them? 150 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: Straight up? Nope, No, not a one, including Haskins, not 151 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: a one, I mean not, Yeah, I'll trade you this 152 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: guy for Colt McCoy. No, there's some guys above him 153 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: on this list that I wouldn't trade him. I'm sure. 154 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure, including Chase Daniel. Yeah. Uh forty three. And 155 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: this is where like, Okay, Rudolph's a better player than 156 00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: this guy, John Woolford. Yeah, how do you know he was? 157 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: No one knew his name before golf got hurt, And 158 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: to his credit, it sounded like they wanted to start 159 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: Wolford in that second place. I don't know they wanted to. 160 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: I think they were just done with God. You're just 161 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: anyone but anyone. Yeah, they got rid of God. There's 162 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: a reason why they traded for Matthew Stafford. They were 163 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: done with God. They didn't see that this kid is 164 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: close to the answer or anything either. No, I would 165 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: not trade Rudolph or Wolford. Number forty two Nick Mullins, 166 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: he I wouldn't. I think he's totally If the forty 167 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Niners offered you, if they offered you Nick Mullins in 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: their fifth round draft pick for Mason Rudolph, no, I'd 169 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: say no. I'd say no, And I don't love Rudolph. 170 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: I mean saying that it's just Nillins is he was exposed. 171 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: He was exposed. I mean you talk about needing the 172 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: system to be perfect, and you know, even when it is, 173 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: you get exposed. It's like you only do decintely hide 174 00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: just so much. Uh. Number forty one Chad Henny m hmm. 175 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he's better than the Glennon's of 176 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: the world. He's also what if he was in Jags 177 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: offense and was in Kansas City's probably is a Glennon 178 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: of the world. Probably is he really different than Flacco? 179 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: Better on the league? A million doesn't make it anything 180 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: happen with probably has seen everything. Yeah, uh, number forty 181 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: nick Foles, like real quick, Like the Steelers win any 182 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: more games if Chad Henny's on the roster in two 183 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. No, no, there be eight and eight. You know, 184 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: maybe he's better than Duck in terms of getting you 185 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: out of wrong plays and things like that. But no, 186 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: maybe maybe you know, forty Nick Foles. Okay, I'm glad 187 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: that's where he belongs. About Some people would have him 188 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: thirty ish. I think he's horrible, Yeah, as in the 189 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: starting world. Thirty nine Kyle Allen. He does some things. 190 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: He didn't turn the ball over this year like he 191 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: did last year, so there was some there was some 192 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: progression there. I know some coaches are intrigued with him, 193 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: fair enough. Thirty eight C. J. Beathard. He's kind of 194 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: like Mallins to me, those guys, if they were a 195 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: Jag or a Jet, they would be overexposed. Yeah, that's 196 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: a little I wouldn't trade Rudolph for him. This one 197 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: is really nuts here. Seven Taylor Heineke one good game, Yeah, 198 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: and they gave him money just this week could for them. 199 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: I don't know where i'd rank him. You know, he 200 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be thirty seven on my list. It would be seven. Like, 201 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: I don't think by any meat. What do you think 202 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: Washington thinks of him right now? Like? I bet they 203 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: look at him and say, Okay, we might have found 204 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: something here. We'll give him a shot, but we're still 205 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: gonna go get somebody. Yea, because Rivera thought enough of 206 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: Heineken to bring him from Carolina. That's his one of 207 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: his guys. Maybe they look at him and think he 208 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: might be a long term two for us, and that's 209 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: a home run, folks. But if if the if the 210 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: Washington offered you Heineke straight up for Rudolph, No, no, no, no, 211 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: they yeah, thirty six, Sam Donald. That's a little harsh, 212 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: but feel bad, you know, I'm a Donald guy. I 213 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: was talking about this on the podcast, but now we're 214 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: getting into that area. Okay, if if the Jets offered 215 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: you Sam Donald from Mason Rudolf, you'd say yes, of course, 216 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: of course, absolutely. But what's interesting to me about Donald is, 217 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: let's say you're the GM of any of those quarterback 218 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: needy teams, and I include the Patriots even though he's 219 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: not gonna be in the East Washington, Chicago, Um, the Colts, 220 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: but the Colts have money. Then maybe if you tie 221 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: your your legacy as an owner, as a GM, as 222 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: a coach to him, you might hit. But boy, there's 223 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: there's a much higher chance that you're you're gonna not hit. 224 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna be sitting here not with a job on line, 225 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: says I like Sam Donald. But if you're gonna go 226 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: all in if they say if they if you, but 227 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: if you have they say, Matt, your contracts up at 228 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: the end of next year and your family needs to eat. 229 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: If a year and you don't want to move, and 230 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: you you would bang a table for that, right. We 231 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: can fix that and he can get to be a 232 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: top fifteen guy. And I'm gonna pay him, and I'm 233 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: gonna give up a good pick for him. Yeah, you know, 234 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: I might rather just take Jimmy and know who he is, 235 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: or you know what I mean, and fighting another day. 236 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: Thirty five is Carson Wentz. He was really bad. He 237 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: was really bad this year. I don't know how I 238 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: had him thirty five though I mean like, I'm sure 239 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: thirty four or you know you could get more for 240 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: him than the next ten guys you mentioned or whatever, 241 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: because thirty four is Gardner Minshew, right, I mean like 242 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: everybody would rather have Wentz or Donald and Minshew but 243 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: their tapes bad. Thirty three is Drew Lock, Yeah, same. 244 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a starter next year? Uh? Well, 245 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I think Denver's exploring. I mean a minimu. 246 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: I think they better sign adult. Thirteen games, he threw 247 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: sixteen touchdown passes, but he had fifteen interceptions and lost 248 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: three fumbles. I mean, I think that's who he is. 249 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: I think that's who he used to and not in 250 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: a bad situation either. Thirty to Kim Newton, he was horrible. 251 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: I think he should be lower on this list. He 252 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: should be. Do you think he's a starter next year? 253 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he is. I don't think it even 254 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: and I don't and I don't think he wants to. 255 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: I don't think his ego will let him not be 256 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: a start. I did something on the podcast where I 257 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: just kind of guests, basically, this is before the Stafford trade, 258 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: who every team starting quarterback would be. And I put 259 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: him on Washington with Rivera on a cheap deal and 260 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: trade for Jordan's love, you know, like maybe something like that. 261 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: But that would be the one team that you look at, say, Okay, 262 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: maybe they maybe total fallback plan this this wing miss 263 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: on a couple other guys maybe and maybe Heineke even 264 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: beats him out. It was really bad this year. Uh 265 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: thirty one Mitch Drabinsky. I think that's fair. Yeah, that's 266 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: where he belongs. Does he start? Does he an opening 267 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: day starter next year? I could see I could, I 268 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: could potentially see him starting in Denver. Yeah, would you 269 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: rather start Locker Trabinsky? I think they're pretty close to 270 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: being the same guy. But Rabisky at least says that 271 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: you've you've got a better track record with Trabisky locks 272 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: more aggressive for better or worse, usually more worse, more 273 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: usually for worse, Right, it depends what you want. Other position. 274 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: He has to run to be even useful, though, and 275 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: he did run a little bit more than he did. 276 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: Um thirty Jimmy Garoppolo boys, his star following that, stars following. 277 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: I like him more than that, but he's so hard 278 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: to count on me. If you factor in durability and 279 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: reliability he's got to be low twenty nine Teddy Bridgewater. 280 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: I'll think Jimmy over Teddy. He was worse than that. 281 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: I think we've been too hard on or the world 282 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: has been too hard on too uh. I mean this 283 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: time last year, we knew he was gonna be a 284 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: top three or four pick, but he had this huge 285 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: hips situation. I mean one year ago, we didn't know 286 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: if he The thing about two is I think people 287 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: misunderstand what he is. I think people thought, well, he's 288 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: gonna be he'll be a runner, and that's that's not 289 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: who stereotype, That's not who he is at all, right. 290 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: And I also think there's an adjustment coming from Bama 291 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: when things are wide open and no preseason and no 292 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: regular off season and hurt him dramatic. I expect it 293 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: to be a different player next year. Like I don't 294 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: know whoever you a top ten quarterback, but I don't 295 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: think it'll be a liability. Uh seven Alex Smith. I 296 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: may have him lower. He really wasn't much different than 297 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: Cam Newton to be and just a bad starting quarterback. 298 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: Now they won because of their defense because of him, 299 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: and they didn't win that much. Uh. Twenty twenty six 300 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. I wouldn't even put him on the list. 301 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: I'd have him below about three or four guys that 302 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: we just uh. I mean, if the criteria is I 303 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: need to start one of these forty eight names that 304 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm any are on here, Okay, I gotta start one 305 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: of these fifty nine for sixteen games every snap, Taysom 306 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: Hill is gonna be like forty for me. Yeah, I mean, 307 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. He's fine what he does, but I 308 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: gotta he's gonna be my Let's say Ben roelthis, Ben 309 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger retires and the Saints offer you Taysom Hill straight 310 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: up from Mason Rudolph. I think I could win a 311 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: game War two easier with him. And then when he's 312 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: gonna be exposed and I got changed my hold and no, 313 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: I'd say no. Um. Twenty five Andy Dalton. He was 314 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: worse than people thought by the way this year, but 315 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: he had he had some he had some moments where 316 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: he was okay, but they had great receivers. I mean, 317 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: is he any different the Bridgewater? Not really? No. Twenty 318 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: four Daniel Jones, Okay, I still have a little I 319 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: like him more now than when he came out. I 320 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: think he's getting a little bit in the short end 321 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: of the stick too, because the injuries. This one's this 322 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: one's a bit of a stretch. Twenty three Jalen Hurts. 323 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: That's a real stretch. It's a real stretch. I mean, 324 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: I know he he benefited from not being Carson Wentze. 325 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: More about to say his completion percentage is bad. Let's 326 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: not pretend he was the second coming of even like 327 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Focus how they do their adjusted completion 328 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: percentage for they don't count throwaways and things like that. 329 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: Him and Wentz for like the two of the bottom 330 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: three in the league. That was it was more about 331 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's lack of weapons in Their line was totally decimated, 332 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: and I don't think the coaches have helped them either. 333 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: And neither one of those guys a particular accord and 334 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: on their best day, especially Jared Goff. That might be 335 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: a little harsh on Golf too. By the way, he's 336 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: a little easy to kick when he's down, and he 337 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: doesn't handle pressure well. A lot of quarterbacks don't handle 338 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: pressure well. I mean, I think Golf is gonna be 339 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: a ten year starter in the league. He may bounce 340 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: around and not be the answer for anybody, and he 341 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: may be in for a really rough year this yearn't 342 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: like pressure? Yeah, twenty one, Ryan Fitzpatrick, that's fair. I 343 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: mean you could wait a couple of games with him. 344 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: Ben Rothelisberger. That's too harsh. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. Get 345 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: thirty seven touchdown passes this year? I mean did his 346 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: season end? Well? Did he look old at times? It did? 347 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: After watching eighteen games? Well, he didn't play with seventeen 348 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: seventeen games, could you say is the time to worry 349 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: about Ben? With no running? Those things are accurate, but 350 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: you know by the way his receivers dropped forty eight 351 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: passes this year, which led the NFL by there were 352 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: fifteen more than any other quarterback on this list. Like 353 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: I often equate him and Breeze together, I think Ben 354 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: was better than Breeze this year. Yeah, and I bet 355 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: Breeze is tenth on this list. I don't know he's 356 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: that high. In fact, he isn't because he's once. He's 357 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: one spot ahead of Lsberger. So Breeze is nineteen. But 358 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: there's no way. But Ben's first three months were pretty 359 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: darn good. People were talking about him including us is 360 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: a potential m VP candidate at one point, right, right, 361 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: He's not. That's I mean, and you'll see that here 362 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: as we get through the more guys on this list, 363 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: and he's not. He's not worse. I mean, I just 364 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: put him over Rivers and remind you, just remindfuls. This 365 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: is based on their play from this past season. I thought, 366 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: we're projecting for next year. It's where they what they 367 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: did last year. Right, So Breeze is nineteen, Joe Burrow eighteen. 368 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: I like Joe Burrow. I'm not gonna compare all these 369 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: guys to Ben and I thought Burrow played really well, 370 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: played well, but he played ten games, the only three 371 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: thirteen touchdown. Let's not get carried away here. No, I'm 372 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: much are where i'd rank Borrow, though I wouldn't have 373 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: much lower, No, but I would have been higher. I 374 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: would have been say that, Okay, seventeens Philip Rivers. That 375 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: was inter thinking about I had who had a better year? 376 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: Rivers are been one of them had a developing running game. 377 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if if you would have had a Jonathan 378 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: Taylor level running game that got better and better as 379 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: the season went on. Absolutely, I don't think I only 380 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: Rivers would have done well here. No, I think Beno 381 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: had done better than Rivers here, and this one would 382 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: have been this one would have been a tough, tough one. Uh. 383 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: Sixteen is Dak Prescott. I don't know where you put 384 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: him fight. He played five games and they were five 385 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: outstanding games. But they also he also turned the ball 386 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: over seven times into his five games, which was the 387 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: reason why they were losing at that point too. I 388 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: got a little better. Like if somebody, if they put 389 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: back at six or seven, I wouldn't have got on 390 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: their case. I don't know where he ran, you know. 391 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: Fifteen Kirk Cousins, Yeah, okay, was he was? He? That was? 392 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: He five spots better than Roethlisberger. No, I mean I 393 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: don't want Kirk Cousins as again, put put Roethlisberger in 394 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: that offense, that running game. They were one of the 395 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: best offenses in the league and yards per play. But 396 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: he is who he is, you know what I mean? 397 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: Fourteen Matt Ryan, He's coming back to reality. I think 398 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: I take Ryan overband he. I mean, you could make 399 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: the argument he had better targets, twenty six touchdown passes, 400 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: eleven interceptions, three fumble was lost, he turns the ball over. Yeah, 401 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't out the way. Um third team Matthew Stafford. 402 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: I might have a little higher, but I'm a Stafford guy. 403 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: Uh twelve Derek Carr he had a good year. Yeah 404 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: he's easy to bash too, but he had a really 405 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: solid good year. Baker Mayfield, he'd be lower from me. Yeah, 406 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: he got better as the'son one on. I don't want 407 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: to bash the division and opponent, but they won in 408 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: spite of him at quite of it this year, and 409 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: they still hide him. Uh ten Kyler Murray, Like, you 410 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: can't tell me the Browns would be better with Matthew Stafford. 411 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: NA think that there's a tough one too. He played 412 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: hurt a lot this year. I think people are kind 413 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: of figuring out the Kingsbury offense and they better zig, 414 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: you know, when everybody knows what there's zagging. But I 415 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: still really high hope for him. Yeah he was. He 416 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: was pretty good this year. You don't want to play 417 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: against him. No. Nine Justin Herbert. Yeah, I mean he 418 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: was remarkable. I'm not sure that him and Burrow are 419 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: much different. Yeah, I don't know if i'd have him 420 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: quite It's pretty rich pretty rich. I mean considering where 421 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: he is, and there was two or three games against 422 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: Belichick Like defenses where he was in over his head, 423 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: you know it. Rookie's are yeah. I mean they didn't 424 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: win much, and some of that was because of him. 425 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: Now some of the reason why they were in those 426 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: games was also because of him, but he also didn't 427 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 1: win them, even new coach, you know, because they won. 428 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: So they've lost so many close games they did win 429 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: to the last four in a row. I don't think 430 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: I could have him that high. I mean we're picking 431 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: up teams. I picked him really high to go forward. 432 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: But how good is he right this minute? I don't know. 433 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: That's I don't think he's better than Matthew Stafford, like 434 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: eight Ryan Tannehill. Okay, he's got back to earth a 435 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: little bit, you know, as as I don't think he's 436 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: a top ten guy when it's all said and done, 437 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: but not far off seven Lamar Jackson. I was wondering 438 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: when he come up because he's a hard one to judge. 439 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: He didn't have a great year. He did not have 440 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: a great year. I mean he's a year removed from 441 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: the m v P. I'm a bit of a lamar 442 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: apologist as a passer. I wonder if you gave him 443 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 1: a Stefon Diggs or a Hopkins, the two similar quarterbacks 444 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: Tyler and Alan got this year, would would would Jackson 445 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: be top three again? Maybe? The thing I'm the thing 446 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm concerned about with him moving forward is a little 447 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 1: bit of his pocket presence gonna be good? Yeah, right, 448 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: he get exposed a little bit this year in that respect. 449 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: What if he gets Chris Godwin then see that we'll 450 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: see will be better, but we'll see. But he still 451 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: takes some sacks that you look at and you go, boy, 452 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: what was he doing there? And his accuracy outside the 453 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: numbers is not great, but he's got a trump card 454 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: that no one else has. Absolutely absolutely Six Russell Wilson. Wow, 455 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean at one point he was one. He actually 456 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: had one point in the season surpassed. I would probably 457 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: take him over Josh Allen. Still. Yeah, for a year 458 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: for a game. Five is Allen and he's been ridiculously good. 459 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm not fashion Allen at all. Four is Deshaun Watson. 460 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: He may even be higher for me. That's tough, that's 461 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he had nothing around him. Um. Three Patrick 462 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: Mahomes he wouldn't be three. I could see Rogers being one. 463 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: Brady's not better than my Homes. They have Brady too. 464 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: You have got to be flipping kidding me. I mean 465 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: even in the postseason they won, And I understand Brady 466 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: brings ridiculous intangibles and men mental skills and all that stuff. 467 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: Everyone in the world rather play against Brady than my Homes. 468 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: For three quarters of the season, Brady looked like, you're right, 469 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: And I do think preseason didn't help him at all either. 470 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: And he's a rep guy, but he doesn't hurt you 471 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: like some of these other guys were talking about. Come on, 472 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: he shouldn't be too, should be too. He's five to me, 473 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: which is a great compliment for his age and his situation. 474 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: It's amazing. Yeah, he's not better than Patrick Mahomes. Vampierre 475 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: had him one. Brady, Yeah, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is number 476 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: one every Yeah, but again, you see where Mason Rudolph 477 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: comes in and that, and that's probably actually if you 478 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: think about we did this last year, Mason Rudolph was 479 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: like third from last, which I thought was really ridiculous. Yeah, 480 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think something. There's a couple of names 481 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: not on the list, MARIODA. Winston, maryo'dadn't started a game 482 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: starting games or did he come he came in and 483 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: want to look good or something, you know that I 484 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: would take it. I would take those guys over Rudolph. 485 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: Maybe we're st you know, a couple of names that 486 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 1: are have some things to work with it, but they've 487 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: got more of a track They have a track record, right, 488 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: But I mean there, if I were listening quarterbacks on 489 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: the planet, I would have them thirty five ish. Maybe 490 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: you know they're intriguing, but they're not gonna be cheap 491 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: be there, right, that's the that's the thing. If you 492 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: look at that that top ten list, Um, those guys 493 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: are all either making big money or were high draft picks, 494 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: were about to be We're about to Jackson. They're about 495 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: to be super expensive too. So I mean getting a quarterback, Um, 496 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: you just to go back to conversations we've previously had. 497 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, this is this. This is not easy. It's 498 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: not easy. And I think there'll be five first rounders 499 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: this year and then after that. I don't see many 500 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: diamonds in the rough types and who knows if they'll 501 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: hit and they're gonna have a really difficult transition this year, 502 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: and we don't really know what they are compared to 503 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: other years. And it really seemed like a month ago. Boy, 504 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of really good quarterbacks on the market, 505 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: and then Stafford a golf gets scooped up and that's 506 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: probably gonna be a cowboy. We don't even know if 507 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: Watson's moving, So I keep going back to the Washington's 508 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: in Chicago's of the world, which is exactly what the 509 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: Steelers would be if Ben retired or you said we're 510 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: done with you, And who are you gonna get and 511 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: how you gonna get them? Right? I mean there's a 512 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: two really, it's just not gonna happen this, right, Who 513 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: are you gonna get and how are you going to 514 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: get them? Because you're back to the Donalds and Winces 515 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: or you're in the Winston Mariota land and one of 516 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: those four will turn into a star, but there are 517 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: three won't and they're not gonna be cheap. Since two 518 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: thousand and fifteen, we just did. We were working on 519 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: our triple Take stuff today and that will be coming 520 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: out that later this week.
