WEBVTT - SGA Fires Agent, Kelce + Burrow + Beck Robbed, Aaron Rodgers Destination 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.320 We gotta talk about a new phenomenon that's going on 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:07.119 in sports. 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.160 Is it good for the players? 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.360 Are they being smart, savvy, or whatever other word that 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.440 you want to use for it. And we're gonna use 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.560 Shaye Gildis Alexander as the man who just fired his 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.840 agents as the example. Also, next thing up, athletes are 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.080 being robbed all over the place. There are Chilean gangs 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.760 and other gangs that are breaking into their houses. What 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.199 the hell is going on there? And we also have 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.600 to talk about the man, the myth, the legend, Aaron 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.199 Rodgers himself. Where is the best destination. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.080 For that man? Where is it? 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:45.839 And also where is he going to go? And we 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.440 got that and so much more here on the Unafraid Show. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.760 Make sure that you like, subscribe, get notifications, tell a 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.440 friend about the show, and most importantly share. 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:13.000 Let's get to it all right, So we're gonna start 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:13.520 with the new. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:19.280 Phenomenon in sports, which is players deciding to represent themselves 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:23.160 in terms of dropping their their agents. And is this 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.720 a good idea? Because I believe that this is smart 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:33.240 depending on your situation. Like, agents clearly have value, clearly 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.920 have value. But for a guy like Shae Guilders Alexander 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.360 because according to Chris Haynes, he has he's parting ways 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:46.440 with his agents, Dad Foucher and Joe Smith of the 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.960 Wasserman Group and is going to represent himself going forward 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.960 on all on court matters. Now, Shake Guilders is in 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.760 line for a four year, two hundred and ninety three 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:02.120 point four million dollars Supermax contract extension this summer. He 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.880 is going to get that deal. And with the way 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.360 the contracts are structured in the NBA, with especially with 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:11.960 super Max's, and when you know you are getting a 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.520 Max deal, why would you pay somebody up to four 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.359 percent of that contract if you're a guy like SGA 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.359 now and we're we're just talking about the contract part 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.880 of it, because we have seen Richard Sherman represent himself 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.919 in the NFL, Bobby Wagner, Lamar Jackson sign a Mega 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:37.760 deal and for guys like that, there's no point in 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:42.840 having an agent negotiate your contract and pay four percent 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.280 because what you can actually do is only pay a lawyer, 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.440 like the lawyers that draft the contracts for the agents, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.800 the ones who aren't specifically lawyers. You're looking at one 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.359 hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred thousand dollars to write 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.160 the contract and make sure all the language is up 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.320 to part and of standard for you and your representation. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:08.240 That's what matters. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.520 And so but here is where agents do have a 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.160 lot of value. It is for guys who are not 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.959 necessarily in line for massive deals because agents are going 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.239 to know the market, they're going to know that franchise, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.360 how to talk to them, and all of those things. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.960 That's where the agent value is most representative of that 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.320 right for players getting that second deal around there, or 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.000 people who are looking for work and don't have you know, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.920 aren't a franchise player and they may be moving around 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.320 a little bit more. Agents are more valuable to those guys. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.000 If you are a first round pick, actually, even if 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.440 you're coming into the NFL draft at all, paying for 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.920 your training coming out of college is expensive. Agents typically 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.040 foot the bill for that that sort of thing, so 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.520 there's value there, but they're gonna get it back. And 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.160 if you are a first round pick, if you're a 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.400 sure for our first round pick, like you're you know, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.920 Travis Hunter or somebody else, an agent to negotiate your 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.440 deal when in reality, when it's already slotted when in reality, 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.520 the only thing that you're really going to be fighting 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:28.080 about is some bonuses and your offset language to where 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.000 if they cut you, then who pays for it? The 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.120 current team or the next team that picks you up. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.679 That's basically it in the NFL. And in SGA's case, 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.120 why would you pay somebody this now? Now, now he 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:50.960 has retained SGA has retained representation for brand endorsements, and 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:57.920 that's with Simon greb Rula of Islam Management. Now, there 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.040 is massive value there and you're gonna pay way more 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.560 than four percent there. You're gonna be looking at in 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:11.039 between probably fifteen and twenty percent on any marketing dollars. Now, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.400 those are valuable because those aren't just walking in the 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.320 door when tag Heuer or you know, or Nike or 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.480 whatever other brand walks through the door or they're looking 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.800 for people to pitch. That's where your agents, your marketing 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.440 agency and all of those things. That's where they earn 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.200 their money at. So that's where they're paid at a 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.360 you know, higher rate. And Shae Gildocks Alexander is a 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.919 dude who's probably going to win the MVP this year, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.680 and it's possible that he looked at Wasserman's basketball roster 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.159 and realized, like, damn, I'm the only superstar here because 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:55.160 his previous agent's best client outside of him are Logan's Dort, 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.599 who actually had fantastic representation if you know the history 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.760 of he went from undrafted at his agent's request to 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.159 making almost ninety million dollars over the duration of his 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:12.719 first three contracts. So it benefited Lugan's Dort. But outside 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.960 of SGA, Wasserman's best clients are Dominatis the Bonus, DeAndre Hunter, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:23.279 Patrick Williams, and like Borderline all stars that don't exactly 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.599 measure up to MVP candidates who may be moving around 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.000 and all of that stuff. So remember that that's the 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:34.480 thing that matters. So SGA can actually save himself, Shake Gildess. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.520 Alexander can actually save himself almost twelve million dollars on 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.719 this deal by doing something that a few players before 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.800 him have done. And those guys that I mentioned earlier 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.559 were Bobby Wagner, Richard Sherman, But then I thought about 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:49.880 some more. 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.960 You got DeAndre Hopkins. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.680 Laramie Tunsel, Russell o'kung, who then not only did he 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.520 negotiate his own he negotiated to get paid in bitcoin 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:07.000 as well, and Lamar Jackson. They thought that it was 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:11.480 a mistake to have his family represent him. Wrong, double wrong, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.520 And now you got Jayden Daniel's mom working up to 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:20.000 speed to represent him once it's time for him to 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.520 be coming into a sixty million dollar deal plus annually, 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.360 you know, four to five years from now. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:27.880 This is smart. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.240 Keep it in house, keep it in the business, especially 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.440 if you are dealing with a superstar. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:34.520 Now. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.600 I know my agent friends ain't gonna like it, but 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.040 this is the reality. They This is what they would 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.040 tell their kids because they'd be like, I'll do your 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.600 deal for you because it's keeping it in the house. Now, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.160 think about this. Joe l ANDB did his last contract. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.240 James Harden went six years without an agent before his 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.920 former one, Rob Polinka left to become the general manager 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.880 of the Lakers out think about this. Harden did end 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.120 up hiring an agent in twenty twenty three. At that 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.680 point in time, he wasn't the top dog in the 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.760 league no more. This was smart for him at that 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.360 point in time because he had to figure out where 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.760 to go from there and who wanted him and the 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.680 market for him out in the world. When you have 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:23.840 to figure out what the market for you is out 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.360 in the world, that's a different situation. Or when you're 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.200 moving around a lot, that's a different situation. That's when 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.679 agents come in handy and are very valuable and earn 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.400 their money if they're good ones. All right, Next thing up, 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.000 athletes are being robbed all over the place. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:42.160 Now. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:46.480 Last year, the FBI warren professional athletes that the threat 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.120 of burglary while they were playing games was on the rise, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.680 And this week law enforcement dropped in indictment on some 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.560 of those responsible for the thefts. And today we actually 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:04.040 found out that Carson Beck down in Miami now him 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.960 and his girlfriend, one of the Cavender twins, they just 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:09.160 had three cars stolen. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.000 This is a real thing, and there used to be. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.120 A time where athletes were protected, where people were like, listen, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.840 I'm not robbing these athletes because or shooting them, shooting 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.080 at any of this, because this is going to turn 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.880 into a high profile case and we don't want that, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.680 Like we want to keep doing our robin doing this 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:34.800 under low like low lights, but then you bring the 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:41.160 lights on it. And according to a federal unsealed criminal complaint, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.840 several migrants from Chile were part of a South American 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.840 theft group that actually engaged in in a nationwide spree 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:53.400 of burglaries that victimize high profile athletes, including Joe Burrow, 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.560 Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes. Now, I'm gonna put up 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.840 a little picture of this group up on the screen. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.960 Them your boys. Then they turned around like some idiot 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.880 criminals and posted pictures of themselves. Are you kidding me? 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:11.160 Excuse me? 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.600 Yeah, are you kidding me? You posting pictures of yourself 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:19.360 with the stolen jersey, with the stolen jewelry. They posted 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.880 a picture with Joe Burrow's jersey on and all of 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:28.400 that stuff, Like what are you doing? Damn dumb ass criminals. Anyways, 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:35.240 So the complaint claims that Chilean nationals Sergio or Tega Cabello, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.080 thirty eight years old, and six co conspirators that range 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.360 in age from twenty to twenty seven actually rob Patrick, 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.640 Mahomes and Kelsey last October, and then they hit Milwaukee 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.280 Bucks forward Bobby Port's home in November. So they've been 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.960 going all over the place because they know where you 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.320 are going to be. Actually they don't know where you're Well, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.319 some with the athletes. They know where you're going to 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.160 because they know your schedule. They know that if Joe 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.800 Burrow is playing in Cincinnati on Monday night, where are 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.800 him and his family going to be at the game? 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.320 Now out of town could be different because you might 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:16.840 have a girl at the at the house. They know 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.080 your schedule, They know that if Taylor Swift has a 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.080 tour date or that she's expected to be at Travis 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.840 Kelsey's game. Now it's time to running them, running them houses. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:34.120 And according to the NFL, they issued a security alert 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.000 to teams and the and the Players Association, warning that 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.920 they've become quote increasingly targeted for burglaries by organizing still 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:48.520 skilled groups. So in a and this is for college 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:53.120 players as well, you are a walking billboard for. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:55.880 With your jury that. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.400 You have on the cars that you drive, all of 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:03.040 this stuff, which some of it is actually marketing because 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.040 you're trying to make yourself more popular or the brands 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.120 that you're associated with, they actually bring more attention to you, 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.320 which makes more money, which also makes you more a 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.280 bigger target. 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.880 And these dudes are doing extensive research. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:26.880 You know, they've even posed as you know, gardeners, joggers, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.880 They've even faked home deliveries everything else just to get 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.199 an up close look and everything else. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.800 And they sound smart. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.440 But they actually decided to take a selfie win while 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.479 they were in Bobby Portis's home. 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.679 And even more Chiefs gear in the thing. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.240 They actually even took photos of the other robberies as well. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.440 Now we don't know, honestly if this one group is 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.679 responsible for all the robberies lately, but there. 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:03.440 Have been a bunch. 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:08.240 You go back to last September, NBA guard Mike Conley 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.480 of the Timberwolves at the time had his home broken 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.920 into while he was attending a Minnesota Vikings game. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:16.480 Jewelry was stolen. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:21.319 Then the next day Karl Anthony Towns, the big per thieves, 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.160 broke into his stuff and got away with one hundred 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:30.760 thousand dollars worth of stuff. Then in October Kelsey mahomes 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:36.960 were hit. November, Dallas Stars hockey player Tyler Segun five 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.600 hundred thousand dollars in watches were stolen from his home 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.120 while he was playing a home game at American Airlines Arena. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.280 They caught it on video with the security cameras. December, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:54.560 Burrow and Luca got hit. Last month. Pittsburgh Penguin star 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.240 what was named Malcoln. He joined the list when he 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:06.600 got jack for his three Stanley Cup championship rings. They 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.559 know what theyre doing, and they must have a fence 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.600 who is able to get off of this stuff. That's 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.880 why I think that all of these crimes are related, 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.000 because to get off of stuff like that, you have 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:24.160 to have people who know people specifically that wanting, because 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.600 those are specific items that are hard to get off of, 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.760 like championship rings and stuff like that, but watches and 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.480 all that stuff in general, like if you buy an 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.840 ap or you buy a Rolex, they're serial numbers. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:37.560 They know who bought those things. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.520 They don't know necessarily if they've been transferred, but they 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.400 know who bought them. But the people they don't care 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.920 at that point in time. They're like, oh, listen, ain't 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.120 nobody just gonna pull up the serial number on my watch. 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.080 They just see the damn watch now. The indictment also 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.960 cites that an unnamed Buccaneers player got robbed, as well 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:02.760 as a player of the Memphis Grizzlies, and the criminals 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:08.520 have been publicly using data available. But it may seem 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.920 like harmless crimes Oh well, listen, I'm not feeling sorry 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:12.280 for them. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:12.880 They're rich. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.240 But what happens when a player is home when he's 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:22.600 not supposed to be Like Sean Taylor, that's the issue 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.240 where Sean Taylor died because people broke in his house. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.200 They thought he was gonna be in Washington because it 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:34.520 was during the season. It's tricky and it's scary. Are 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.480 the next thing up that we got to talk about 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:41.800 Aaron Rodgers? Oh yes, where will a A rod end 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.160 up this season? Because he ain't going back with the Jets. Now, 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.400 several teams are in the market for a quarterback and 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:54.160 Aaron Rodgers is on the market former NFL MVP. But 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.120 the question is what is the market for aa rid? 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.280 Because if you're Aaron Rodgers, you ain't just gonna take 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:03.360 any old job, right. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.120 You don't want the. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:08.520 Tennessee Titans job. You don't want, you know, another team 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.560 that roster is not ready to compete. That don't make 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:16.280 no damn sense. So he don't want to take any offer. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.040 But then other teams. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.640 Are like, ah, we don't know if we want them. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:21.800 Because you've got to look at the teams that need 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:26.880 a quarterback badly and need a bridge and a mentor. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.200 So the question is is Aaron Rodgers going to be 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:36.320 the mentor that Cleveland needs, Tennessee needs. Probably not, That's 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.680 not gonna happen because Aaron Rodgers marches to the beat 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.440 of his own drum, and you don't want to teach 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.760 your rookie to do what Aaron Rodgers is doing. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:44.760 He's a one of one. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:49.600 He's an enigma, as is documentary states, So you don't 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.680 want to teach your young player that. So that's why 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.560 they don't want Aaron Rodgers there. But the question is 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.600 what about the Rams, because if they choose to move 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.600 on from Matthew Stafford. This let you wonder if Aaron 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.919 Rodgers if he can hang out in LA without getting 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.480 distracted with the local politics, because that actually might be 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.760 a reasonable thing for him, because that's a division that's winnable. 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.760 And the answer for Aaron might actually be to hang 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.680 back and wait for a contender that has a quarterback 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.479 go down for an extended period of time so he 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.080 can come in and be like, hey, but I'm ready 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:32.320 save the day. Or actually, here's an idea that nobody 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:42.200 has really pondered. What if nobody comes for Aaron Rodgers. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:50.000 What if nobody calls, what if he does not get 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.320 opportunities like he thinks. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:55.200 That's an option? 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.760 And then one team that I haven't mentioned is what 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.560 happens if Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers end up joining. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.800 Forces with the Steelers? What's that? 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.480 Because the Steelers have not had a good quarterback in 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.879 a long time, and Aaron Rodgers is nothing like he 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:18.800 used to be. However, I do believe that Aaron Rodgers 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.239 can do what Russell Wilson did last year, which was 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.960 an admiral job, admirable job. I don't love their officer 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.640 coordinator Arthur Smith out there. I think that there are 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:29.760 it could be Arthur, or it could be Mike Tomlin, 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:37.399 who's extremely conservative offensively. But here's the thing that I 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.000 do believe why this could work. Why Aaron Rodgers to 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.320 the Steelers, Why it could work, because Mike Tomlin has 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.480 already shown that he doesn't mind a difficult or misunderstood athlete. 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:55.520 Dude had Martavius Bryant, He's had you know, Antonio Brown, 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.080 He's had been Roethlisberger. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.679 He's had guys that have had some issues off the 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:01.600 field as well. 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:07.160 And Steelers fans as a whole have shown that they 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.399 have the ability to overlook a quarterback's personal flaws in 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:14.480 order to chase a championship. And the Steelers have receiver 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.800 talent and even if they lose Naji Harris in free agency, 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.639 they still have a good running game with Jalen Warren 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:31.280 and Arthur Smith had some experience with Matt Lafleur, who 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:36.760 Aaron Rodgers won an MVP under. Now, I don't think 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.680 it would be as complicated as you know, mRNA science 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.840 for Aaron Rodgers to figure out the offense, but that 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.639 could potentially work because he can do everything that Russell 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:51.840 Wilson did last year. And Wilson did have more yards 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:58.040 per attempt last year, slightly better touchdown interception ratio, and 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.239 rush actually had more rushing yards six less games. But 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:07.720 here is the point, is that Aaron Rodgers may be 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:13.800 able to unlock something with Mike Tomlin for both of 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:18.400 their sakes. Now, there was an article that came out 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.960 about Mike Tomlin and him not liking to throw over 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:25.600 the middle of the field, and statistically this has actually 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.000 been something that Aaron Rodgers also doesn't like to do. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.280 Because in that article posted by Dusty Everley of the 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.720 Packer Report from twenty twenty three. He pointed out that 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.639 it's not even that he can't because Aaron Rodgers efficiency 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.280 numbers over the middle have been good. He just doesn't 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:46.880 like to. So maybe this isn't necessarily the upgrade over 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.320 RUSS that the Steelers need. But if the Steelers don't 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:56.240 have a bridge situation, this may be their only situation 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.680 and their only option. And if not the Steelers, where 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:01.880 else might he be able to go?
