Thank you, Um, fellas, 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.000 you can join us name, Yeah, glad, you can join 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.840 us name. You were outside holding court, you had ever 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:44.839 saying Bill Jones, And you know, I said some things 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.360 and I don't think them fellas agree with me. You 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:52.800 know about our quarterback. And that's all funny, that's all great. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:02:00.240 And I believe that everybody has their opinion. And you 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.200 know I got and I asked over and over and over, 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.520 how do we fix that. We have to fix that. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:11.880 That is our quarterback. And they say, get better players 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:17.400 around him. Yeah, okay, you're you're You're not. You're not 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:24.560 gonna always be situated with the best players you I 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:29.919 don't care. In this world of athletic sports that's been 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.560 played on the highest level, you're not as a quarterback. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.760 You're not as the star guard of a basketball team. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.040 You're not as a scorer or assist man in soccer. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:47.320 Gonna always have the best talent. But through coaching, through 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.280 your organization, through put in players in place to understand 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.160 who they are and what they're supposed to do, you 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:59.720 can go far. I've seen it happen time and time again. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.640 Now when you say go far, because this is an 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.640 interesting conversation, and I like this conversation. This is a 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:12.240 really good conversation because when you say go far, what 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.600 is that? What does the ending destination look like? Because 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:21.120 coming into this season, your not say your prediction, but 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.840 your level of what this season would be for success, 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.040 I am always will I will die on this hill 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.520 by myself, and I have no problem doing it. The 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:36.200 season is always a failure. The season is always a failure. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.560 If you don't bring home the trophy. I will live 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.520 on that. I will die on that hill by myself. Now, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:48.440 there are lessons that are learned in failure, so you 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:54.280 can extract some good things from failure. But failure, nonetheless, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.840 that is the goal that you set out for this season. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.400 Now only did you set out for that to be 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:05.200 your goal? Relatively speaking, you were well within your reach 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.560 of getting to that goal. It wasn't as if you 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.280 were outmatched, you were out like. It wasn't you. There 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.760 was not some large level of discrepancy or some long 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.440 some large level of talent gap between you and the 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.040 team that you were actually facing to get to the goal. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.359 So I asked you again, Nate, when you talk about 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.480 can go far with what you have in your mind, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.600 because I have a different I haven't thinking that. I 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.839 want to ask you that in your mind, where does 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:42.920 that location end? See? First of all, depending on what 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.000 team you're talking about, we're talking about the Dallas Cowboys. No, no, no. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.000 If you're talking about the Dallas Cowboys, yeah, that's the 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.760 show Dallas cow you're talking about the Dallas Cowboys. You 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.680 first of all, And I'm saying talking to fans on 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:03.360 a realistic basis. If you're talking super Bowl, well you seven. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.960 I guess you can make of anything as you go, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.120 because I did not see this team as a super 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.640 Bowl team. But I saw it as a team that 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.919 they can get to the second round and if the 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.800 chips fall right, they can get maybe to the championship game, 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.359 but no farther. Because number one, we still have a 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:30.479 few pieces missing on the offense, and that was the 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.200 continuity of the offensive line, which showed up in the 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.400 second half of this game. Where was our quarterback? Where 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.960 he was gonna be at this at this point in time, 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.359 was cdee Lamb once we actually knew that he was 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.800 the guy that they were gonna be trying? How was 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.040 his growth period? Now? The tight end I was never 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.960 happy of it never happy with I was never happy 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.440 with the tight end, but I liked it. Our running 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:00.640 back situation. You asked me at getting of the year, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.120 is just a Super Bowl winning defense where they played 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:10.000 lights out. They in the biggest of games. They kind 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.599 of they kind of showed up and this was a 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:17.039 big game that just passed. But if if Michael Gallop 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.400 and that's why not, next year, my expectations will be different. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.440 You got a better offensive line by maturity, you gotta see. 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.360 You got Michael Gallop back. Uh Ferguson would have been 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.000 a grown another year. Then you got the other kid 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.040 that pulled a hamstring behind him and the shot. So 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.440 I'm looking at a different deal. I'm looking at I'm 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.280 looking at a different set of athletes. And them said, now, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.040 the only thing that scares me is the defensive coordinator 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:50.320 gonna gonna leave. But if if you telling me that 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.840 the reason we didn't get far as because we didn't 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.360 have enough offensive talent, that don't add up to me. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.640 So that that don't add up to me, because you 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.719 can't talk Super Bowl, you can't talk NFC Championship game 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.320 if you if you don't if you don't have a talent, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.800 let me let me interject, I'm gonna get We're gonna 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:17.680 get you into the conversation, Kurt. When I look at 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.640 just the four teams that are in the game right now, Philly, 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:32.320 since Kansas City and the nine Ers, and this is 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.280 this is not me disagreeing with you. It's not me 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.320 agreeing with you. This is us having an open discussion 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:42.880 about the situation. That's that is. Philadelphia said, we saw 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.720 what Jalen Hurstborg would last year. Cool, no problem, Hey, 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.320 uh go get a J. Brown. Let's let's go get us. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.280 Let's go trade for see, because we drafted a bunch 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.480 of these guys and it didn't it didn't quite work. Okay, 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.800 w got a J. Brown, went got guys defensively in 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.600 the draft. Said we're gonna, We're gon We're gonna put 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.400 this thing together. We see what we need to fix, 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.800 see what we need to fix the sevens forty nine 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.080 us right, They said, Okay, well we got Deebo, we 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:09.760 got Brendon and I yuk. We got some things happening 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:15.400 to defensively, but there's a go get Christian McCaffrey. We're 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.040 gonna trade to go get Christian McCaffrey. We need that 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.200 dynamic player. We drafted George Kiltle, and we drafted Deebo Samuels, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.120 and we got some things there, but we're gonna go 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.920 get I need that piece. They went and got another piece, 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.920 right Kansas City says, well, we're gonna let Tyreek Hill 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.599 go see you. But we believe in our dynamics so 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.240 good in our quarterback in the play calling. They just said, 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.760 you know, we'll get you Smith Schuster, and we're gonna 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.160 get a bunch of company four three guys. We're gonna 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.120 get Cadarius Tony. We're gonna get a bunch of four 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.559 three running guys. And we feel like what we do 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.440 we can plug and play a lot of these guys. 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.160 So they went got some talented pieces. They went and 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.520 drafted Procheco out a Rutger. They went and got some 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.400 other running back, Ronald Jones. I mean they went and 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.120 got pieces to go around Travis Kelsey in company. And then, 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.760 last but not least, the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati Bengals spent 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.480 over one hundred million dollars on the restructure. In their 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.160 offer to line, say what you want about how that 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.960 happens and how that stuff goes but most people Tampa Bay, 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.480 they went and got Tom Brady when they wanted to 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.880 upgrade their town. We saw what the RAM did. So 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:25.160 I'm saying is I am not on the defense of 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.679 Dak Prescott, but I do think there is something to 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.160 be said in today's NFL where if you're going to 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.959 truly compete, And this goes back to was kind of 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.120 almost an indictment on Jerry Jones Coop who came on 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.040 our Flactive station probably a year ago in the office 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.040 and it said I would pay you would be embarrassed 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.320 and mint I would pay for to win a Super Bowl. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.640 And all he did with this team was make this 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.360 team less than by letting Themari Cooper go and not 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.199 signing any free agents of significance when you had guys 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.840 who you could have signed, Jarvis Landry and not Ti. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.240 I'm times saying those guys would have been a huge impact. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.920 But there were players that were out there before we 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.920 got to the nitty gritty of the season that we 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.520 could have signed that could have helped us. But we 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.000 pitched all in on this Odell Beckham thing that I 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.679 knew what never happened, and then we settled for a 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.840 guy like t Y Hilton. You gambled on Michael Gallup 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.120 coming back off of ACL injury when history says, you know, 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.240 talking to your boy yesterday moves Johnston. History says, unless 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.920 you're Adrian Peterson, you need about a full year to 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.200 come back from an ACL injury. You dropped the jail 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.319 Toba in the third round. Who did not pan out 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.439 for you? Dennis Houston, who everybody rapped about in training camp, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.839 did not work out for you. James Washington, who you 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.600 thought you were gonna bring in was gonna be a case, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.720 did not work out for you. So I'm saying, yes, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.400 you bring some pieces in, but you didn't bring any 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.720 pieces in of significance, and you gambled on your quarterback 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.000 being able to get you over the case when he's 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:52.120 not the guy that we talked about, saying, I hear 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:58.479 what you're saying. So and my question I opposed to everybody, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.719 and I posed it to those two guys on the 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.719 last show mix shots. So what you're saying is you 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.920 gotta go out without a doubt, expecially if you're saying 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.079 super Bowl, you gotta go out without a doubt. And 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.400 you gotta either in free agency are through the draft, 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:21.760 get a ready yes, sure file, Yes, wide receiver, Yes 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.679 are tight end yes, Okay, because one thing, one thing 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:31.959 that's gonna be even more is he got forty nine 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.679 million dollars coming next year. So if you don't go 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.160 out and get this sure fight deal, you're gonna see 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:47.160 more of the same. Absolutely, if I'm reading you right, 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.719 I'm not sure that a lot of people, and I'm 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.640 probably following this too, it are saying that Dak is 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.679 what he is and they got to raise up the 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.760 team around him. But it sounds like you're saying Dak 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.360 can still improve. Yes you can. You think so he 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.000 can want him too, or you think he can't still 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.559 reach that level. No, I've always said this right here 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.480 from day one, and I'll walk you through it. When 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.120 he first got here and he was throwing the ball 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:14.760 on the field, I heard a lot of players say, 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.800 it's something to this kid. So when Tony got hurt, 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.360 the first guy was saying, hey, you knew Ddy just 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.199 played this young guy, and let's see what happened. Then 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.240 he came out and he protected the ball. Now, whether 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.840 that was through scheme or whether he was just had 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.280 a natural ability to protect the ball, he did that 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.199 for us first two years. Then they came with this 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.560 wide receiver by committee. And the first thing I said 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:41.400 was two things I said was you know what, they 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.679 gotta get this kids some talent, because if you give 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.640 him talent, he's gonna do what's necessary. And I saw 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.719 right he digested. But with that, how long will it 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.000 be before he can put us in the best play? 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.720 So I asked that for a couple of years. Now 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.000 all of a sudden will I don't know what happened 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.360 in these last and a half years where now? Uh, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.000 the aggressive the aggressive passive whatever, whatever it is, the 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:12.959 arrogant passing. Okay, this is what you better understand. And 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.319 whether you like it or not, this is what it is. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.760 When your quarterback counts for more than a third of 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:26.360 your salary cap he better be that. He better not, 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.800 you guess, and you hope he better be that, because 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.559 who can you sig? And And this is this is 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.120 why having success in those early windows, the Joe Burrow 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.120 window right uh, the the I mean the Niners are 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.400 having success right now Mahome's windows. I mean they had 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.680 in those windows because window, because you're going to jo 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.840 Jayla Hurst window. Ye, you're able to spend no dollars 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.319 because your star quarterback is not eating up so much 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.000 of your salary cap. The problem is, and this is 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:05.000 why I talk about and people about windows closing, because 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:08.040 when you get to that point, yes, when you gotta 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.480 pay the guy's money, and if he's going to be 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.559 your starting quarterback, forty million is no longer even that, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.120 ain't You ain't knocking on forty million dollars no more 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.200 the numbers about yesterday's price. It's not today's price. It's 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.880 going up. You lose the ability to now have that, 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.680 to have the flexibility of signing so many different guys 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.480 in talent. So yes to your point, when your quarterback 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.280 begins to have that type of uh, eating up that 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.120 type of salary, you you better hope he is who 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.880 you hope he is. You can. If not, you're gonna 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.080 be facing this situation that we're sitting in right now. 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.120 Because let let no bones about it, no bones about it. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.400 That is not in the conversation. And I and I've 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.480 I've still on that for many years. This is this 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:58.400 and like I tell people, if you're not gonna gonna 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.960 help him by number one, going out getting these players 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.920 y'all talking about are having a ear. I don't care 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.160 if it's Kellen Mark with a stronger r. I don't 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.840 care if it's a quarterback coach with a stronger earror 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.200 to help him through this right here, because six games 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:22.040 where you have double double interceptions, you have eight, nine, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.360 ten games where you have at least one interception. No, 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.920 you have to help this kid now. You either help 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.160 him about sitting him down, breaking this down, going through it, 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.000 and making sure that all of these lesser talented people 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:40.560 all of a sudden that and and if we're all here, please, 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.240 I don't want to hear about how good and wide 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.960 receiver is, how this guy is, and how that guy is. 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.440 Like we talked that coming into not you, but I'm 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.240 talking to majority of the people, how good this guy 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.280 is and how good that guy is, and how good 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.120 Now we get to the end of the year and 0:15:56.200 --> 0:16:00.320 this thing explode on us and now as we need talent. No, 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.200 I mean, I'm not going for that, right. You can't 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:07.240 tell me that, bro, You can't. I know, I know 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.560 sports is fluent, but I ain't a fool there. Then 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.280 there are certain reasons why I personally don't listen to 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.160 what everyone has to say about sometimes wow, because I 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.400 just know people just don't all the time know how 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.760 to evaluate players or what they're even actually looking for. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.840 But until Dak Prescott's point, when you get to that 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:29.200 level year seven, you get the big money, and I 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.280 don't care what anyone says. They listen, they hear that 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.800 hears that listens, he hears what the show says, he's 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.320 hears what how he's not in that category? Got enough 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.240 ears to hear. Yeah, And if and if he ain't 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.320 hearing it, it's enough folks in this circle that's bringing 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.040 it back to him, bringing it right back to the 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.560 dinner table, right, and he hears you're not in that category. 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.520 You're not in the category of the Boroughs, the Mahomes, 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.400 the Allens, that category. You're not in that Aaron Rodgers category. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:01.560 And so what sometimes happens, sometimes consciously sometimes unconscious sleep, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.760 you beginning to say to yourself, in order to be 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.120 in that conversation, I have to play a certain way. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.879 And I think that's a lot of it led to that, 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.879 And he said it to himself like sometimes I was 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.440 just getting a little bit too aggress to trying to 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.200 get everything back in throwing the ball because you started 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:18.960 wanting to be in the conversation of those other guys. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.520 This is a great conversation. This is a great conversation. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.480 This is a fantastic conversation. Let's go to break, Let's 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.240 get a let's get a drinking water.

As 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:54.320 we continue to have a very very amazing discussion that 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.720 started out in the hallway with Naton and a couple 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.040 of others, and I'm glad that he opened up and 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.720 brought it in here to us because the conversation is 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:07.280 about Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys on if this 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.560 quarterback needs more talent? Is it coaching? Is it talent? 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:18.480 Or is he not living up to being the franchise quarterback? 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.320 Is being one of the top ten twelve quarterbacks in 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:23.600 the National Football League, Kurt, I want to get your 0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.960 thoughts in here on this is the quarterback that is 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:32.040 thekla Raine Prescott. Is this one of the guys who said, 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.920 you know what he does need more talent, or even 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.480 when he had talent on the football team, when he 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.600 had you know, an all Pro receiver and a'm Aar 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:43.800 Cooper and an upcoming guy a Cede Lamb and a 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.800 good offensive line in the running game and all these 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.560 other things that he's had before, and it still kind 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.719 of came up a little bit short in the end goal. 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:55.520 I think Dak is a top ten quarterback in this league. 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:57.840 I mean, he may even be outside of the top 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:03.119 five among quarterbacks, but he just has he not reached 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.240 that level yet. The Mahomes, the Bradies, the Rogers, he 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.639 hasn't reached that level yet where he can carry the 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:13.960 talent around him, I don't think. And so to Nate's point, Well, 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.080 my belief then is you've got to find a way 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.240 like we saw San Francisco do. Like you mentioned, we 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:24.360 saw the Eagles. Dude, like he said, Cowboys haven't really 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:26.800 done that for him. They talked about making it DAC friendly, 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:30.080 but how much have they really sold out to do that? 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.520 And so how are you going to You can restructure 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.000 his trying contract, you can finagle things around him, maybe 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:38.240 bring some more talent in. But to Nate's point, you're 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:42.119 saying Dak himself has to get better. How do you 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:44.480 do that? I mean, he's twenty thirty, gonna be thirty 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.919 years old, he's played seven seasons. How do you change 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:50.800 him and make him? Help him reach that next level 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.800 with the talent he has? Now, I guess this is 0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.680 what I ask people. This is what I ask people. 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:06.160 You know we this is this is why. Now you see, 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:09.840 this is what I tell people. The homernd I can 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.480 come up here and raw ra folks to death. I 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:16.600 can give you a million reasons of fantasy. But when 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.240 I'm talking real people, I'm talking from a super Bowl 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:28.359 winning standpoint. Hold hold hold on, yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on. 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:34.200 I love when they get sassy. Hold on, let me go, 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:37.640
