1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Driven Home of the Black and Goals.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio, Welcome back. I am Dale allih is

3
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. You're listening to the Drive here on Steelers

4
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Nation Radio and Matt, as we do every once in

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: a while here it's I thought we'd take a look

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: at Mark Sessler's quarterback. Yeah, let's do that on the

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. I have some strong feelings about this.

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: I hope I disagree with them. There you go, There

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: we go. I knew you would. There you go. Said two,

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: let's start the bottom as we always do. Bryce Perkins

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: from the Rams. That's pretty easy this time of year.

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's gonna be five of them that are

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: in NFL quarter But yeah, there's a bunch of new

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: guys in this week's list, and he's one of them.

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: And what was bad? He's really bad and they're really

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: bad and it's bad. Quick question for Aaron Donald by

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: the way, not playing this week. He's ruled out. So

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: I was asking my podcast today if the Rams stink

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: worst team in the league for five years, is it

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: worth it? I said, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah,

21
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean, especially in that market. Well, That's what I said,

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: is they're different than I compared to the Cleveland I think.

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: I think if you were good every year in that market,

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: you would you would build up your fan base, winning

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: once and then not and then stinking again. Now you're

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I believe they are kind of like patterned

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: themselves after the Showtime Lakers, like we need star power,

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: we need guys. They're trying to do right. And by

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: the way, it's winning. But if it's a couple of years,

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: because that's how you're competing, you're competing against Lakers, You're

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: competing against Dodgers there, Yeah, right right, you know it's

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: it's tough to the beach. I'm gonna watch a game,

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, right. Does anybody talk about the King's out

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: there anymore? No? There, That's why Gretsky went there, and

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, you try to win with that guy. Get

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: back the quarterback list in one second. But I compared

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: it to Hey, Pittsburgh's a lot more like Detroit and

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland than it is l A. But the Browns and

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Lions for our lifetime have been dismal, and those fan

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: bases are still in love with their teams, you know

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: what I mean? L A won't be No, no, no, no,

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: no no no. Uh. At thirty one Kyle Allen Yeah

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: again back, I mean, well he's the starter now because

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: Davis Mills would have been there. Yeah, I mean I

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: think Mills is noticeably better than these guys. But whatever.

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: At thirty Trevor Simeon again, yeah, true, backup that no

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: one ever thinks of a starter at nine. How you

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: picked between those three? Though Simeon's got the most something

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: twenty Sam Donald, he didn't play bad last week. I

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: mean he has a chance to not be a starter

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: somewhere but be marketable and have a trabisky like you know,

52
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: move somebody will bring him in next year to be

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: yeah you know, you know, could he wind up in

54
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Houston or somewhere like that when they draft somebody or

55
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: the Colts draft one and at Darnald he could be

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: that guy at Russell Wilson. I like that. I thought

57
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I was going to fight him on Wilson. That's great, see,

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: I I he was one of the guys I had

59
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: in mind of Boy, I'm gonna kill Cessler for this

60
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: because he'sn have Wilson fifteen. He stinks he belongs is

61
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: he worse than is Marcus Mariota. I'd rather play against

62
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Wilson for sure. Yeah, the Mariota. I mean, I was

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: just thinking to the guy we just saw, that's a question.

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Matt Matt Ryan is not on here yet. Matt Ryan

65
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: is not good. Mariota is better than Ryan. Yeah, Wilson

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: versus Ryan's a conversation right now. I will say this

67
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: about Mariota in twelve game games this year, eight interceptions,

68
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: eight fumbles. Fumbles are problem. Yeah, I can see that

69
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: and a lot. It's because he's a ball carrier too,

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: but he also doesn't the best pocket aware. It doesn't know,

71
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: he does not know. He also made dead throw two

72
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago. That was the worst throw I've ever seen

73
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback make. Was that the Steeler bye week because

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: you and I were tasting a bunch, because you got

75
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: you threw it all his back was to the middle

76
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: of the field. Horrendous in that game, I mean, I

77
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: mean that was that was a Thursday night games, Caroline.

78
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: He was Yeah, he was being he was being thrown

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: to the ground and decided it would be a good

80
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: idea to just throw the ball up in the air

81
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: and way up in the air to the middle of

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: the football field, and in that game, that was a

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: low light amongst low lights too. I mean, missing open

84
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: guy f six but like by like eight feet, unlike

85
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: a ten yard pass. Yeah, it's bad, but he's still

86
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: better than Ryan and Wilson. Yeah, twenty six is Matt Ryan.

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: It's down six spots. Um. Will Ryan be an NFL

88
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: player next year? I think I think he has ten

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: interceptions and thirteen fumbles team fumbles in ten games. I

90
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: just feel like someone's gonna break. Although I'll say this,

91
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: he got He got the blame for the one at

92
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: the goal line. Yeah, it was not his fault. That

93
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: was not his fault. The announcers laid that out pretty well. Yeah,

94
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: the Taylor's arms were screwed up, and yeah, he put

95
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: it out there perfectly interesting. You know. I talked to

96
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Chris Warmly after the game and he said, we knew

97
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: that that the Taylor is a fumbler. Heard that too, Yeah,

98
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: they even mentioned his college history. Yeah, I mean he

99
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: was a fumbler. He was a fumbler with Wisconsin. He's

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: been a fumbler in the NFL. We knew that. Yeah, Yeah,

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean they used scouts stuff from back then. That

102
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: made me look it up. That was the ninth fumble

103
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: in Taylor's career, is it there was a lot in college? Yeah,

104
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: at twenty five up five spots, Kenny Pikett, I'll take

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: him over all those guys right now. I mean, we'll

106
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: see who's above him. I wouldn't skyrocking him up the

107
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: list or anything like that. And we'll see if he's

108
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: shorted here. But as we talked about, you know, if

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: he had a couple more touchdown passes right now, like

110
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: right now he has three rushing touchdowns, if that was

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns and eight interceptions, I think the perception

112
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: would be different of him. Probably there's such a fantasy

113
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: driven community like oh it started him and he was fine,

114
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, like, oh he's good now. I do think

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: playing Monday night in him looking as good as he did,

116
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: we'll start to change the perception. You know, like because

117
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: people are just looking at the stats, you know, they

118
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: haven't seen him play you know, every snap like we have.

119
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of national people have asked me, oh,

120
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: you's gonna take a quarterback the first round or I mean,

121
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: like for things like that, like or is this guy

122
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: a total Boston no, and uh, just to read what

123
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: he wrote here about Pickett played his finest game yet

124
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: on Monday night, after showing his worth early against Cincinnati

125
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: and we could leven the Steelers. Rookie operated calmly and

126
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: decisively against the solid Colds defense, polling up his third

127
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: straight game without a turnover. Pick It used his mobility

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: to move the pocket and deliver. His chemistry with fellow

129
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: rookie George Pickens is a promising development, with the two

130
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: hooking up deep and finding each other again on a

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: critical two pointer that saw Picket hit his man on

132
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: the run. Pickt a work in progress, still missing a

133
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: bushel of throws per game. I didn't see a miss

134
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: a bushel of throws. He missed a couple of throws.

135
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: I would say a handful would be my word. Bush

136
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: was a big word. I mean he had also that

137
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: right up. I have no problem with Yeah, he had

138
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: eight eight in completions on on Monday night. I believe

139
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: it was two or three of them were drops. Yeah, yeah,

140
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: like he missed every one of them. Yeah. But his

141
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: aggressive mindset and growing ability to make plays out of

142
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: structure of positives, I absolutely think he's more accurate than Lamar,

143
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: so I hesitate even use that comparison, But there's a

144
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: misconception with Lamar in that when he misses, he misses

145
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: really bad sometimes, so they all count as in completions.

146
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: But I'm starting to notice that with Pickett too, like

147
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: once a while it just gets away from him and

148
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: it's a bad miss. Yeah. I don't know if that's

149
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: a small hand thing or it's just who he is

150
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: or coincidence. I don't know, but it makes you look

151
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: less accurate than you are. He I dug this nugget

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: up too. I know it's not the hardest of completions,

153
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: but he's the second most accurate quarterback in the league

154
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: ten yards an inn, and he's near the top of

155
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the league just in completion percentage period, so I don't

156
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: think he's lacking accuracy. Twenty four up five spots is

157
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. I could see them being next to each other.

158
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: Jones just had his best game too. If you look

159
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: at their numbers, I bet they're similar. They're almost damn identical.

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Max Known is not turning the ball over,

161
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: but that's not the case. They both played eight games

162
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, Jones is completing sixty nine point two

163
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: percent of his passes. He's thrown for seventeen sixty eight

164
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: he said, basically for all eight of his games or starts.

165
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: Pick it came in. Yeah, he's played in eight games,

166
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: but he only played a half and two of them

167
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: well he got benched for zappy and one of the

168
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: games he got pulled out of the game, he still played. Okay,

169
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: so seven and a half days where pick has really

170
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: played on he's played eight or seven full games when

171
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: half and a half together. Uh. So Jones has sevent

172
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: sixty eight passing yards, six touchdown passes, seven in or options,

173
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: one rushing touchdowns, So he's produced seven touchdowns and three fumbles.

174
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: Pickt in eight games, six completion percentage passing yards. Uh

175
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: he is three passing touchdowns, eight interceptions, but he has

176
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns, so that he's he's he's produced six

177
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns and he has three fumbles. I mean, it's almost identical,

178
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: and he offers a lot more as a runner. And

179
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: to stand up for our guy a little bit. I mean,

180
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I think people do realize, at least around here, they've

181
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: seen every throw. Those eight interceptions are a little inflated toy,

182
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: and he's not the only one that has bad luck

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: in the interception world. But I think he's thrown the

184
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: equivalent of five ish and has eight on his resumes.

185
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Differs between the two, however, is that one of them

186
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: is in his second year, right the other one has

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: played eight games? Like if these are pickets numbers three

188
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: and sixty five days from now, that's a problem. That's

189
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: a problem. And those are Jones numbers. I will say

190
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: a max defense. He did display his best game, Yeah,

191
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: you know whatever, Okay, at twenty three. This is Mike White.

192
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: Come on, man, yeah, I mean, come on. It was

193
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: a very very good game, and he had a very

194
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: good game last year. But he's not better than pickto Jones. No,

195
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure he's better in Russell Wilson. Honestly,

196
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: who they play on side? Um? Who they beat? Uh

197
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: m hmm, someone bad? The Bears. That's not what I'm saying.

198
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: They played the Bears without Quinn, without ro Quon, they

199
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: had two other starters, and with Trevor Simeon at quarterback. Yeah,

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: not even fields to possess the ball. I mean, Bears

201
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: are Texans bad, especially, so let's not let's let's tap

202
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: the brakes. A little bit here on the Mike White train.

203
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: They play the Vikings this week, who aren't a great defense,

204
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: but they are much better team than the Bears, and

205
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: then they play the Bills. I mean, Garrett Wilson was

206
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: open all the time. Two weeks from now, Mike White's

207
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna be done at thirty one, He'll be twenty eight

208
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: because there's bad, bad, bad guys out there. But right,

209
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: will he start the rest of the year? Probably? Think so?

210
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: Probably think at this point yeah, uh, at twenty two

211
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: that Gilson isn't even active. Yeah, I mean he's the three. Yeah.

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Two is Taylor Heineke. I don't have a problem with

213
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a problem with that. I

214
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: mean he has played well. They're winning with him there.

215
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: He's doing what they need him to do to win.

216
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: They've won what five or six in a row. Uh,

217
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: think something like that. Yeah, I'm going to run the

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: ball a lot and defense is good, but he's playing well.

219
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: It's twenty one. Is Andy Dalton, Okay? I mean I

220
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's super sustainable. He has not been their problem.

221
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: I think we'll see Winston before long. But that's not

222
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: really Andy's fault. That's up a spot for him at

223
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: twenty down three spots. Daniel Jones, Well, he has cursed

224
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: receiver room. He does have a cursed receiver with you.

225
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: I would put him above the last two. Daniel Johns

226
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: the starter next year. Giants may have won too many

227
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: games to do anything else. They might have done him.

228
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: They might have to bring him unless they make unless

229
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: they jump into the Garoppolo sweepstakes, right or Jimmy, I

230
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: think we'll move. I could see Rogers or car moving maybe.

231
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: But every offseason there's always like five names we think

232
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: are on the move. This year it's not as it's

233
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: not nearly a set at nineteen up two spots because

234
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: he just played at home. Jared Goff, Yeah, I mean,

235
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: is he a Lions starter next year? Is he the

236
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: Lions starter next year? And they have those two first

237
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: round picks? One is going to be pretty high from

238
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the rams they just drafted. How how's it or how

239
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: they don't have any I thought they draft him one? Okay,

240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: yeah maybe maybe? Yeah? I mean, or he's the opening

241
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: day starter until the rookie's ready, right, you know something

242
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: along those lines. Yeah, I could see him being back.

243
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's Yeah. I mean he also seems

244
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: like he could be a cult you know, that would

245
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: be that's like their type of he's not old enough yet.

246
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Panthers love to get, you know, old

247
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: first round picks from other teams that aren't good. Yeah,

248
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: at eight up a spot is Derek Carr. Is Derek

249
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Carr the starter for the Raiders next year. His contract

250
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: is very easy to move on from, and they're gonna

251
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: pick high. McDaniels didn't pick him. He's think that's he

252
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: said before the year. If he's not playing for that,

253
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play for any other team other

254
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: than the Raiders. No, he might might not be up

255
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: to him. Well, if there's that, I mean like if

256
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: I were the Jets, I'll give you a first round

257
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: pick for Car. Maybe more like if I'm the Raiders

258
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: and I look at my roster and say these this

259
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: last regime has drafted so bad. I want to right right,

260
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna draft my quarterback and get a I'd consider

261
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: it and make some cap space. But then you move

262
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: Adams and Waller and you know it's seventeen up a spot.

263
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: Jacoby Bursett, Well, Watson's gonna be the starter who's gonna

264
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: be He was getting benched and Mr Sessler took the

265
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: easy way out of not ranking watch he did because

266
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: if he's gonna put he didn't put Stafford on there.

267
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: That's right. You know, Berts played very well. It was

268
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: here though. He's been better than Dalton and Heidek and

269
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: you know it's sixteen down a spot Ryan Tannehill. I

270
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: think he's playing better than anyone who ever give him

271
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: credit for, which has kind of been his whole career,

272
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, but he's like Mr. League average quarterback. Now, Yeah,

273
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: is he a starter next year? I'm gonna say yes

274
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: because I don't think Willis is ready. Yeah, Willis is

275
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: going to be a two or three year project to

276
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: get him easy year away from being your way. Yeah.

277
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Uh at fifteen not rated before this this week because

278
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: he didn't play Kyler Murray. That's disappointing, but that's where

279
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: he is. That's where he is at. That's where he's at.

280
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: He's got eight fumbles this year. It doesn't surprise me. Yeah.

281
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: At fourteen up two spots Trevor Lawrence Yeah, and climbing, yeah,

282
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: trending and interction. Yeah, good for him. Thirteen up a spot.

283
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins real quick on Lawrence. I'm not sure I

284
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: mentioned this yesterday, but I watched that game. He really

285
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: really played well in the fourth quarter beating the Ravens,

286
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there thinking he didn't get Ridley next year,

287
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: Like that's nice set up, you know, when Zay becomes

288
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: your three and Kirk becomes two. How you're talking. He

289
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: does have eight fumbles this year as well, though his

290
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: red zone still been a problems. People to give pick

291
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: It a hard time for red zone. That's been his

292
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: biggest problems. Thirteen is Kirk Cousins, Yeah, he'll be there

293
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: next year. To twelve Jimmy G. Jimmy G has been

294
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: better than Cousins. Yeah. Um, he's got great people around

295
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: the Cousins isn't bad either though. Eleven up two spots.

296
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It's a little kind. I mean, he's fumbled

297
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: seven times this year in addition to having nine interceptions.

298
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the most turnovers or turnover worthy plays

299
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: in his career. Is he the pack of quarterback next year?

300
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: Kicking him in love? I think it almost has to be.

301
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: He almost has to be because of the contract. Do

302
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: you trade love, like, I can't see both those guys

303
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: being in the build. Are you gonna get for love?

304
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Not enough? Yeah? Third Carolina, try love. I don't know, No,

305
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: I would take door number two. Yeah, Seattle, make a

306
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: trade for love and run the go with. I mean,

307
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: Geneo is a free agent. I think he comes back.

308
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: I think he comes back to you. Then they have

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: too early pick at the Broncos picked the Broncos pick. Yeah,

310
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I think I think the

311
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: contract says that he'll be back. But Rogers, yeah, ten,

312
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: I'll us just a spot. Justin Herbert. I think he's five. Yeah,

313
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: he's had, he's healthy. Now he's you know, he had

314
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: no receivers, none for large portions is this year, and

315
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: he was playing with broken ribs. I tweeted this out

316
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: because Mike Sando did the homework on I just took

317
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the credit for it and tagged him on it. But

318
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: he's had twenty seven throws where Williams and Allen are

319
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: both on the Field's brutal, right, and no left tackle.

320
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: And you know, I'll take him over every quarterback in

321
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: league's at two or three, number nine, Tom Brady Herbert

322
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: too much better. Player than Tom Brady. Right now, eleven

323
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: games this year, Tom Brady has thrown fourteen touchdown passes

324
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: with two interceptions. He's not throwing he's not throwing it

325
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: to the other team. But you're talking about a guy

326
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: who routinely put up forty touchdown years and that's not happening.

327
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's still dangerous and he's still good, don't

328
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: get me wrong, But I hate the excuse of oh,

329
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: they've had four left guards. Yeah, who has those kind

330
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: of problem? Okay, you still have Evans and Godwin and

331
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, like, do you think Rogers would

332
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: like Godwin? Yeah? Uh? At eight down, two spots Lamar.

333
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: He's being asked to do too much, which is often

334
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: the case there. This is too strong. He still can't

335
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: throw outside, can't crosside the numbers. I mean, now, every

336
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: team has played against these guys and it doesn't take

337
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: anyone the world by storm. I would consider a coordinator

338
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: change and just a massive stylistic change. I hadn't keep him.

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: I had the same exact thought as I was watching

340
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: him lose on Sunday. I'm like, this doesn't work anymore.

341
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: This is this is Gregg Roman's offense. Everybody's caught up

342
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: to it. Yes, from what I understand, the route concepts

343
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: are very very basic, you know. And it's not because

344
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: Lamar can't figure it out or he can't make throws.

345
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: I think they need to change how they play offense.

346
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: And he gave me you throw out a three h

347
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: pound fullback every snap and blocking tight ends like who's

348
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: who you're afraid of? And then they threw on the

349
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, they throw a ricard the ball every once

350
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: a while, and the TV announcers going, all right, he

351
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: got eight yards, let's look at Yeah. I heard someone

352
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: say he's gonna go back to back years setting the

353
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: record of most catches by a three pounder. Who cares.

354
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: That's like being the best, the best little guy in

355
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: pro football history, you know, okay, right right right, good

356
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: for you. It's like Crash Davis and you know the

357
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: minor league at home runs at seven up a spot,

358
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, Gino Smith. Seven. He's been great the last

359
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: two weeks. Smith had at the overall the overall package

360
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: looks good, but they've lost the last two games. Um,

361
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: they have a lot of points. Last week. I don't

362
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: know where I'm ranked him. I'm not envious of where

363
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: you put They can't put him ahead at justin Herbert

364
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That's correct, that's correct, right, Yeah, I mean

365
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: I just can't No, no, he's not better than that

366
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: more am I be sure he's had a better year?

367
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: I mean statistically, yeah, I mean, if we're looking at this,

368
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: you you were asked the other question the other day,

369
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: who's the best quarterback in the in the NFC. I

370
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: think it's Dac. He's gonna probably hurts there. Well, he's

371
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: number six, So yeah, you know, tell me Gino Smith

372
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: one of the top three quarterbacks in the NFC. I

373
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: think there's a case for it. I mean that I

374
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to have to argue it, right, I mean,

375
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: who would be your third? If it's hurts him Dac,

376
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: who's the next guy? I think Brady's the next one

377
00:19:54,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: on the list, He's the next one off cousins Garoppolo. Yeah,

378
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you gave me a game to start, right, okay,

379
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta pick an NFC starter, And we

380
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: did a draft, you and I back and forth. Um,

381
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that either one of us would pick

382
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is our that could be my first pick

383
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: and hurt should be my second. But if if we

384
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: were doing if we're doing like a five person draft,

385
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, is Gino Smith one of the top five

386
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: guys taken? I don't think so. I mean, I don't

387
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: believe this guy should be in that conversation, but some

388
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: will make a case for fields because if you're playing

389
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: one game, he's not fun to play against, you know.

390
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: But he's hurt right now, so he's not the list

391
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: and he has a long way to go. Six is

392
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, and he's he's looked okay, yeah, but I

393
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: mean he's still in six games, has six interceptions. I

394
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: don't think he's better than Herbert. I'm a big bad guy,

395
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's better than Herbert uh at

396
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: five holding steady Joe Burrow, I think I gotta burrow

397
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: it too. I mean, I really think he's that good

398
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: at forest to he's having the best statistical year, and

399
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: he would be in my top five right now. I

400
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: guess here's the question you're gonna ask yourself though, is

401
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: it him or is it the receiver? Absolutely, it's a

402
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: combination of both, especially not even just receivers, but scheme.

403
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: But they made the scheme because who was a quarterback.

404
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: They wouldn't devise things exactly this way if they had

405
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: a different quarterback. So it's a good marriage. I mean,

406
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: that's what good coach. I just I just know that

407
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: when I saw him enlive and in person, he probably

408
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: three should have thrown like five interceptions that that was

409
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: definitely no doubt it. It wasn't britty, I mean, I

410
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: honestly very much. I mean if Burrow was in that offense,

411
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I mean, imagine any of these tough, these

412
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the top ten with those two wide receivers exactly.

413
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about Herbert not having his guys.

414
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean what they opened up for everybody else with

415
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: their immense speed two has been a success. I'm not

416
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: trying to take anything away from um. I think Joe

417
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: her who was a much better player than him. Though, yeah,

418
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: I'd much rather play against two of him Burrows. Oh yeah, yeah,

419
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: we're Herbert or I mean, this is extreme, but what

420
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: would pick it look like it is the dolphin quarterback.

421
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: I bet it'd be on this list at least, you

422
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean as a rookie. Still would be learning, right,

423
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, But yeah, three holding steadies. Josh Allen, he

424
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: hurts it too. Then I have a problem with that.

425
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: But okay, Alan has not been great and he's not

426
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: playing his best foot port. He does have eleven interceptions

427
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: in nineteen fumbles just you know when people were talking

428
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: about the fumbles um but he again runs. Yeah, but

429
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: he turned all over a lot in his uh. I

430
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: saw this that. This was two weeks ago. In his

431
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: last twenty five games, he had twenty four interceptions. Yeah,

432
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: it goes back. I think that's kind of who he is. Yeah,

433
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean he is a wild STALLI he's a shooter.

434
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: He's a shooter, shoot big game. Yeah, and you love

435
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: that about him, but you better get used to it. Yeah,

436
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw some picks. I mean you really not

437
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: that you can, anyone doesn't. But it's important for Buffalo

438
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: to be near the league, the top of league and

439
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: takeaways to balance that out a little bit. There's there's

440
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: a little bit early big Ben in that early mid

441
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: career Big because he would take he took those chances.

442
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean in Alan, neither one of us liked him

443
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: for two or three years in the league. Two is

444
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts I mean I get that considering the way

445
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: Alan's playing, but I would have borrowed two. And then one,

446
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: of course is Patrick Mahomes. I think it's by far. Yeah,

447
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: he's I think he's having his best year. I think

448
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: he's the m v P. I mean, I'm really doing

449
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: it with subpar receivers. I mean he's the one you

450
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: tell your grandkids about. Yeah, I mean it really is. Yeah.

451
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: So that's the list there from Mark sust He's gonna

452
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: rip him on Wilson. Can you pick it on the

453

454
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,280

455
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,359

Speaker 1: but I quoted it a lot this preseason. Was the

458

Speaker 1: average rookie card starting quarterbacks about the best guy in

459
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,600

00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: he's next year, if he if he has that backslide

464
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: like Mac Jones has had, then you then it's an issue.

465
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,560

466
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: higher than that range. We looked at that. Yeah, I
