WEBVTT - Best Of - Travis Kelce & Chiefs MONSTER bounce back, Lakers should go ALL IN on Luka & LeBron 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:02.520 Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:05.240 with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.080 week on the show. Enjoy. 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.000 So Mahomes came out and said, I'm going to do 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.920 whatever it takes to win, whether that's passing for a 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.079 lot of yards or not passing for a lot of yards. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.840 So we've seen Kansas City win in a number of 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.239 different ways. How do you think that the offense or 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.439 the Chiefs need to look in order to succeed this year? 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.800 Listen, I do think there's an element of they need 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:32.000 to get their swagger back and pump the ball down 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:39.200 the field. Now, I think people need to remember how 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.800 we got kind of to the point that we got 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.519 to with this offense being the way it is. And 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.479 I talked about this yesterday on TV, but I think 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:54.040 it's worth revisiting. Three years ago, they're playing the number 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:58.800 one defense in the NFL in the Super Bowl. They 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:06.000 score third thirty eight points without a single play longer 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.000 than twenty five yards and the longest play of the 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.640 game is a Mahomes scramble. The very next year they 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:19.920 come back, they're in the Super Bowl, having the offense 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:25.560 having struggled all year long receivers just openly revolting against Patrick. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.560 In the Super Bowl, the biggest drive up to that 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:37.320 point of Mahomes's life eleven play, sixty four yard dank 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:43.240 dunk DNK dunk field goal, and then in overtime one 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:49.520 of the greatest drives in NFL history thirteen play, seventy 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:54.120 five yard drive where the longest play once again is 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:59.120 a Mahomes scramble, dank dunk, dnk dunk. No big explosives. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:07.080 Last year offense just eking along and pulling games out 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:13.040 of the fire. So why am I saying when they 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.080 gone Super Bowl win, Super Bowl win, Super Bowl loss, 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.959 after being seventeen and one going into the Super Bowl 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.920 with Mahomes' starter, Because I think one of the reasons 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.520 Patrick started to press early in that Super Bowl demonsay 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:36.440 is because being down fourteen for last year's Chiefs felt 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.760 so different than any of the previous year Chiefs. Down 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.520 fourty eighteen three years ago was okay, we can start 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:50.360 playing now. Down ten in every Super Bowl they've ever 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.280 played in, take the lead back in a heartbeat, And 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.840 so because it was so death by a thousand cuts, 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.200 they felt they needed to. I think Patrick felt like 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.360 man we better score, right, because we don't have this 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.840 one playability. So I think they need to get that back. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.919 And I think the better offensive line, hopefully healthier receivers, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.640 even though she's now dealing with the growing Hollywood Brown 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.040 still out with an ankle, that's not great. That should 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:27.560 help that. I also saw there's an unbelievable stack courtesy 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:33.959 an unbelievable stack courtesy of Warren Sharp that I would 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:44.560 like to go over for a moment. But so, quarterbacks 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:50.720 record when trailing entering the fourth quarter over the last 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:56.119 five years. Let me give you the top three from 0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:02.840 three to one. Demonse in third place, best record when 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:08.520 trailing entering the fourth last five years. Okay, Jalen hurts 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.120 eight and fourteen, so that's pretty good. I mean it's 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:17.320 third best. That so thirty six percent of the time 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.719 the Eagles are trailing going into the fourth, they win 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:30.160 anyway when Jalen starts. Second place, Lamar Jackson seven and 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:36.000 ten forty one percent of the time, So that's almost 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.360 half the time bro that the Ravens are trailing entering 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:44.520 the fourth, they win when Lamar's the quarterback. So third 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:49.800 place is thirty six percent. Jalen second place is forty 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:55.320 one percent. Lamar is again courtesy Warrensharp first place record 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.400 the last five years when trailing entering the fourth quarter. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:10.159 Patrick Mahomes fourteen and seven sixty seven percent. That means 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:15.279 the Chiefs would be an eleven twelve win team if 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:20.080 every game they trailed going into the fourth quarter and 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.120 the other like CJ. Demonse is one two, three, four, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:30.520 five six seven, He's eighth on this list, two and 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:37.520 ten twenty percent. Josh Allen is above average three and 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:45.760 fourteen eighteen percent, Joe Burrow four and twenty three fifteen percent, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:54.440 Brock Purdy one in ten nine percent. Like, so, I 0:05:54.560 --> 0:06:01.120 say that for this reason, it's under standable that the 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.760 Chiefs kind of carry themselves like, eh, we'll figure it out. 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.400 But it's harder to do that after you've got your 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:10.880 teeth kicked in in the Super Bowl. 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.520 Yeah, and. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:16.280 That is. 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:18.920 They need to. 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:27.160 They need to go ahead, Demani, Yeah, and I think 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:31.560 Josh Simmons, the rookie left tackle, and Xavier Worthy's ascension 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.160 is going to help that quite a bit. By the way, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:40.520 late the Madden ratings for this year, Xavier Worthy a 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:45.839 higher rating than Marvin Harrison Junior and Rome A doonsday 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.720 to top ten now just barely, but still like that 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:55.640 is the highest rated rookie receivers were neighbors than Brian Thomas, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:02.320 then Xavier Worthy. So yeah, I do think they need 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.479 to bring back, as brew would call it, the light 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.840 show a bit, and I'm optimistic that they can. All right, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.000 let's talk a little more cheap before we get some 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:12.600 other stuff. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.840 Andy Reid's been hyping up. You got Travis Kelcey. He's 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.360 saying that he's calling him. He's calling him, felt saying 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.760 he looks twenty, he's all slender. A year ago, you said, 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.080 Travis Kelsey's got about eight more good games in him, 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.840 games great games, not good, Sorry, got eight great games 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:31.440 left at him. 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.840 Has that number changed since? 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.440 Like what would he have now at this time? Well? 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:46.000 So this year? Yeah, so I felt he. I thought 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:51.200 he used a couple last year. Certainly the playoff game 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:56.800 against Houston Texans was peak Travis. And I also thought 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:01.560 he left a lot out on the field the Christmas 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.960 Day game against Pittsburgh that if they knew they won, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.160 they were going to get the long rest that they 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.200 all desperately needed. Now, those aren't the only big games 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.480 he had all year, but some of the other big 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.280 games yet I just thought, were you. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:17.560 Know, the. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.400 Teams not being able to deal with him, or you know, 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:28.320 the how the game play in philadelph So again, swifties, please, 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.960 because I got absolutely crushed for this take last year 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:37.480 because people misunderstood what I was saying. I think when 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.240 you are Travis's age at that position, you have to 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:48.000 be very diligent about when you go full throttle, and 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.959 I think he knows that he only has so many 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:06.920 full throttle games left now. I think that added chip 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.800 on his shoulder for the fact that he didn't play 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.280 up to his standard he said last year, and the 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.200 way they got their ass kicked in the Super Bowl, 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.000 and the fact that he shed some weight, had probably 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:23.160 a better offseason, maybe replenish some of those games that 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.120 game count. Yeah, I've got to see him in Week 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.640 one to give this a real answer. But I'm going 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.200 to go out on a lemon say this. I think 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:39.360 Travis this year will once again be one of the 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:46.040 three most impactful players at his position. I think Travis 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:52.560 and brock Bowers and then maybe Kittle, maybe Laporta, maybe 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:57.560 the kid in Arizona or the other candidates. But I 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.960 think Travis and brock Bauers are going to be up 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.719 there at and I'm Travis is especially because teams are 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.160 gonna have to respect the deep ball more this year. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.800 He's gonna have a lot more room to work with 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.600 over that intermediate middle where he wants to all right, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.800 dog days summer, which means it's time for the boys 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.440 this summer to kick it into gear.

We've 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.200 all been waiting on that. So now that's finally happened, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.600 do you think that it's time for eled to really 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.160 press the gas on trying to succeed in the now? 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.640 Well, listen, I got it, I said after they didn't 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.520 re sign Dorian Finney Smith that I thought there was 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.480 a chance I put Lucas signing the extension. Was it 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.800 ninety percent? I had it. I dropped it to like 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.000 seventy five percent. So I do think this is good, important, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.920 real news. I also think that because he signed the extension, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.079 they are able to slow walk this a bit if 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.120 they want to, because Luca is not going anywhere over 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.200 the next three years. And by the way, the next 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:36.000 deal he'll signed Demons will be the league's first million 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.920 dollar a game deal super Max. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.160 Yeah, well, was that what he was supposed to? Was 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.000 that what he was coming up on in Dallas? 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.240 No, it was No, he could have signed. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:48.400 No, the. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.040 He would have gotten the biggest deal ever in Dallas. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:53.720 But it wouldn't. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.240 We wouldn't have gotten that threshold yet. But three years 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.720 from now his contract will average more than eighty two 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.480 million a year, and there's eighty two games. It's a 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:10.200 really remarkable thing. Here is though my general Lakers take that. 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.880 No One, even the biggest anti lebron folks, haven't been 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:18.360 able to explain to me where I'm wrong on this. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:26.120 I think it is overwhelmingly likely that over the lifetime 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:31.600 of this extension, these next three years, Luca never has 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:36.440 a teammate better than Lebron is right now. Now, listen, 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.920 maybe they're gonna get Yannis, and I'll be wrong. Maybe 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.200 they're you know, they have their eyes on Joker, and 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:52.200 I'll be wrong. But Shay ain't going anywhere, and Tatum's 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.160 not going anywhere, and now we're like running out of 0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:02.360 people who are better than Lebron right now. Okay, So 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:07.280 I would, if I were the Lakers, prioritize trying to 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:12.439 win right now, because if they think this is their 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.520 last year with Lebron, I do not know that Luca 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.520 is going to have a better running mate than Lebron 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.680 over these next three years. Now, again, if they have 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.240 real intel that if they keep the cap sheet clean 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:31.200 in two years, Yannis plans on just coming there in 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.160 free agency, then so be it. Then you know what, 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.400 if they like then see you know, it's not like 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.360 they're drawing dead this season, like they've got a nice roster, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.920 then then keep it flexible. But that's a hell of 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.160 a gamble to take, like a hell of a gamble 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:50.520 to take. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.760 Do you are you worried at all that there's like 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.840 a riff potentially forming between Luca and Lebron or do 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.240 you think that Luca knows that it's. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.440 I don't think yeah, yeah, I don't think it's between 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:05.560 Luca and Lebron at all. Lebron was Luca's all time 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.680 favorite player. Luca is the guy Lebron tried to sign 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.480 to his shoe line. Luca like, I don't think there 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.280 is anything between them at all. I think there is 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:23.520 some obvious frustration for Lebron, fair or not that the 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:28.640 Lakers are not pressing the gas even more on this season. Now, 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.360 you can say that's unfair, that they shouldn't whatever, but 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.720 that is to me, the entirety of the frustration is 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.160 that right there. 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.880 Oh yeah, So Baker Mayfield came in into that number fifty 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.760 in the NFL Top hundred list. He answers this year 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.720 as the eighth best odds for MVP in Tampa Bay 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.000 also just drafted Amika Agbuka and they're getting gowing back 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.240 from his injury. What are your expectations for Baker this year? 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:59.280 Expectations already has another really good season. Ceiling is he 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:04.160 is a frontline MVP candidate and they are a true 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.920 contender in the NFC, Like, I think that's on the board. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.240 And here's the thing. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:10.840 In order for. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.360 Them to be a contender, he has to be an 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.720 MVP candidate because that defense is not going to be great. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.960 They are gonna have to outscore people. But Baker had 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:24.840 forty touchdowns last year. He was a badass, man. Yeah, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.680 I mean he was a badass last year. I'm so 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.400 and he right now has I want to make sure 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.320 I'm right about this that I didn't miss it yet. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.720 He's on the best non rookie contract in the NFL. 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:44.640 Three years, one hundred million bucks for Baker Mayfield. He 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:52.400 is one more good season away from getting a two 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.480 hundred and fifty million dollar deal. He's been that level 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.280 of player and I'm just happy for him, man, because 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:01.800 this shit went so sideways on him. 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:03.720 Yeah, and. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:11.639 His teammates love him. He is true to himself. He's tough. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.080 He is a legit awesome playoff performer. Like this is 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.600 the thing that people I think underrate with Baker. He 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.240 has played I think five career playoff games. I'm gonna 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.320 tell you what he did in the first playoff game ever. 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:34.400 The Cleveland Browns go into Pittsburgh, hang forty eight on him. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:38.280 Baker throws for two sixty three touchdowns a one fifteen rating. 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.320 Second playoff game ever, his only ever bad playoff game. 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:49.360 He's against the two time defending AFC champion. Uh oh, 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.440 I'm sorry. He's against the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.560 and he's twenty three to thirty seven for two hundred yards, 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.840 one touchdown, one pick, seventy five rating. But he's in 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.119 arrowhead and round two against the twenty twenty Chiefs, like 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.280 no shame in that. He then makes the playoffs with Tampa. 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.120 His first playoff game ever against Philly, and again, it's 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:16.679 so crazy, this is Philly. This game was in January 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.880 of twenty twenty four. Yeah, exactly, thirty two to nine, 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:25.080 three touchdowns, no picks, a one to twenty rating. The 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:31.080 next game against Detroit three hundred and fifty yards, three touchdowns, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.840 two picks, a ninety five rating, they lose by eight. 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.720 And in the game against Washington last year, a wild 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:42.520 one where he only throws eighteen times, but he's fifteen 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:46.959 of eighteen for a buck eighty five, two touchdowns and 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.280 a one forty seven rating. In his playoff career, he's 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.879 got a one zero six rating twelve touchdowns, three picks, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:19:00.240 like he's just been awesome in the big yeah. So yeah, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:04.800 So I'm a Baker believer through and through. All Right, 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.280 let's do these last two real quick. 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.639 James Cook is holding in as he looks for his 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.280 contract extension. After a few years a big dollar running 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.800 backs paying off. It seemed like the debate was put 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.359 to rest, but that conversation opens back up again. Or 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:20.440 do you think Cook is just. 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.240 Not that guy? Well? No, I just I think Cook's 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.760 really good. But I the Bills have no cap space. 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.719 He's under contract for five million bucks. They know they 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:31.120 can franchise tag. 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.120 Him for not much. And even if you. 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.919 Think he's awesome, do you think he's gonna be awesome 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:37.240 four years from now? 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:41.080 So like go, I ask me a huge part of 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.440 their offense last year, like huge buffalo the. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.440 Last two years, right, I just think they think he's 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.000 gonna blink. Bro. I don't think it's that they you 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:52.880 know what I mean? I think that they think we'll 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.280 give him a little more money, but not long term, 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.639 you know what I mean? Nothing long term and then 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.399 or maybe a one year extension. But the report is 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.320 he wants you know, I don't know if it's what 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:05.840 he wants. I don't want to get this wrong, but 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.119 I saw four years forty million bouncing around, which is 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.600 only ten million a year. But I just think they 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.399 think at that position, his style, in two years he 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.359 could be done and they just it's just such a 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.600 tough business for running backs. Man, It's just such a 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.640 tough business for running backs. 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.800 So, yeah, the media has been super high on the Broncos. 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.880 You have not been so is Sean Payton. He came 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.000 out and said, the short term goal is winning the division. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.760 But this is a team capable of winning the super Bowl. 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.000 I've coached six teams that I thought could win a 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.560 super Bowl. This is my seventh. Yes, should we believe 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.000 in this? Is he too high? Too low? 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.440 He also said Bo Nicks in the next two years 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.200 is going to be a top four or five quarterback 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.639 in the world. He also said he's going to be 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:01.880 a superstar. Also, by the way, check out when you're 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.960 subscribing to What's Right with Nick Wright on YouTube, there's 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.520 another new channel you can subscribe to on YouTube. Did 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:12.159 you see this? Demanse uh bo Nix's new YouTube channel? 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:20.560 And my my take that Bo Nicks My take going 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:25.440 into the draft was bo Nicks was Mac Jones. 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:30.640 For those of you wondering how that has how that 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.879 looks so far, well, Mac Jones. In year one with 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:36.760 new the New England. 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.640 Patriots made a. 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.639 Somewhat fraudulent Pro Bowl as an alternate bon Nicks check. 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:48.240 The team won ten games, kind of surprisingly made the playoffs. 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:51.800 Bon Nicks check. The team played the Buffalo Bills in 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:57.000 Round one, lost by four touchdowns. Bo Nicks check, and 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:02.520 Mac Jones that offseason trademarked Mac ten and all this 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.679 silly stuff because he was a future star. Go follow 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:13.440 Bonnix on YouTube. Here is my problem with the Broncos 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:18.199 hype and discussion. Gosh darn it, you know what I 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:23.359 you know what? I actually think it's value add it 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:30.080 draws attention exactly right here is here is what I 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:36.040 think people are not recognizing when they are talking about 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.919 the Broncos as content. Broncos have an excellent defense and 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:45.440 that matters now. Dre Greenlaw's dealing with a quad already, 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:49.120 and Hufanga, who I love as a player, has been 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.000 injured every year since his rookie season. Those are their 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:58.680 two big additions. The other problem is this last year, demonse. 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:05.160 They ten games. Okay, the first game they won, they 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:10.960 beat Baker Mayfield, salute, that's a real thing. Who's who 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:16.919 they beat after that? Okay, Aaron Rodgers, who the Jets 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:24.000 then got rid of. They then beat Spencer Rattler, who 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.200 is in a quarterback the Saddus quarterback Battle of the year. 0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:33.160 They then beat Bryce before Bryce got hot. They then 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:37.560 beat Kirk Cousins right before they benched him. They then 0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:41.679 beat Gardner Minshew who I left that out earlier. They 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:46.640 actually beat Gardner twice. They then beat whoever the hell 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:51.000 was starting for the Browns at the time, Jamis, who 0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:55.720 is currently I think a third string quarterback. They then 0:23:55.840 --> 0:24:02.359 beat Anthony Richardson and they then beat Chad Henney. That's 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:06.760 all their wins. Now we are now saying they're contenders. 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:11.760 Well to be contenders, Let's just start with the conference. 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:17.320 How did you do against playoff teams in your conference? Well, 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:19.800 you played Pittsburgh week two and lost. You played the 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.080 Chargers week six and lost. You played the Ravens week 0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.119 nine and lost. You played the Chiefs week ten and lost. 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.080 You played the Chargers week sixteen and lost. You played 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.920 the Bengals, who weren't in the playoffs, but that was 0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.280 a playoff level game that game because they were still 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:38.160 alive Week seventeen and lost. You then played the Bills 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:43.159 in the actual playoffs and lost thirty one to seven. 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.080 Why am I supposed to believe that team all of 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:51.440 a sudden is going to be great? Now? Folks out 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.240 there like, oh, Nick, you always just hate on the Broncos. 0:24:55.359 --> 0:25:02.320 Last year preseason gambling show our favorite win total of 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:07.880 the year Broncos over five and a half, even though 0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.520 I didn't believe in bo Nicks because that number was 0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.399 too low. They had a last place schedule. Russ, it 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.800 was so terrible for him. I'm just calling it as 0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:23.120 I see it. And right now, is there any other 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:28.480 team this year or any year that you can remember 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:34.920 that had the pretty universally accepted worst quarterback in their 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:39.520 own division that we were like, yep, that team look 0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:43.960 out for him. Like, let's just look at the other 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:49.320 teams across the league who have the worst quarterback in 0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:53.159 the division. What we think of them? Justin Field's and 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:58.800 the Jets were we afraid of them? Whoever's starting for 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:06.680 the Browns, Lacko, how are they looking? The the Colts 0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:18.080 with Daniel Jones, the Giants with Russ, the Vikings with JJ, 0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:22.760 and again that's harsh on him, but he's just young 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:27.560 now maybe Demondic. Maybe it's Caleb. Yeah, I mean the again, 0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.400 I don't think. I don't think people is even though 0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:34.879 Caleb stock is dropping, have JJ ahead of him. In 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:39.760 the South, the Saints with whatever they're dealing with. And 0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:44.600 in the West Seattle with Darnold or Arizona. I guess 0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:52.040 with like I, I just they just believe in them. 0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:55.120 I am. 0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:57.080 They believe in themselves. 0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:02.480 Sean Payton has talked a lot of ship though, and yeah, 0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:07.560 and listen, this is a tricky one because Sean Payton, 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.520 as great of a coach as he is, he must 0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:17.000 be a better hang because the media loves him. So 0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.240 many of my colleagues at Fox just from the one 0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:22.560 year of working with him, they love him. I think 0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:27.200 Peter Schrager, my pal, he loves him. And we kind 0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:33.879 of give Sean Payton a you know, like he walks 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:37.440 into Denver, does the interview about what a clown show 0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.960 it was under Nat Hackett, and by week three the 0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:48.280
