They call it social distancing, a concept that 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.120 some members of The Dan Patrick Show have been practicing 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.080 for years. I remember this girl going gross get away 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:21.760 from me. Some members of the show struggle giving people 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:23.920 personal space. I think we all need to hug as 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.479 often as possible in the break after the show, before 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.280 the show. Never with you ever, but with recent events, 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.600 it's important to remember that The Dan Patrick Show is 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.320 available with no human interaction, none, no no.

Is Jason Smith and Doug Gottlieb Welcome inside 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.039 hour or two of the program. Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.679 from Fox Sports Radio in for Dan and the Danettes today. Dan. 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.280 The Danetts taking a planned week off this week, so 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.720 they're all full week they had this planned week of vacation. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.120 Everything is fine. Andrew Perloff is online talking to people. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.320 Everything is good, just a week off for them, as 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.039 you and I filling in today and you and I 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.720 combining filling in over the course of this week here 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.600 on the show. And so far in the first hour, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.400 we've covered social distancing, We've covered binge watching on television, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.280 We've covered the NBA, we've covered the Olympics, and now 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.640 it's time to get to the National Football League. Time 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.440 to get to the NFL. Can we not talk about 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.880 like him? This sudden Cam Newton is the greatest player 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.000 ever wise and he signed. Thing is kind of kind 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.320 of comical to me. The odds of the new quarterback 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.320 for the New England Patriots this coming season are out, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.160 actually for twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. I think 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.840 the only thing crazier than Cam Newton has people who 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:19.960 think that Deshaun Watson's gonna end up with the Patriots. 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.399 I love that part of this. But the odds are out, 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.160 and for twenty twenty, the odds are Jared Stidham number 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.360 one will be the quarterback who is obviously there to 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:34.000 take over Brian Hoyer, Cam Newton is third, followed by 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.079 Andy Dalton, Cody Kessler, and Jamis Winston. Those are your 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.440 six favorites, according to Vegas put on the odds to 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.920 be the starting quarterback Week one for the Patriots this season. Stidham, Hoyer, 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:52.000 Cam Dalton, Kessler, Jamis Winston. The odds change in twenty 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.320 twenty one because Deshaun Watson becomes the third favorite to 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.480 start in twenty twenty one. But let's deal with this 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.840 first part here, Stidham, Hoyer and now Undley Cam Newton 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.400 and Patriots fans everywhere want Cam Newton to be the 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.520 starting quarterback of the Patriots. Oh you get you all 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.800 all over social media, all over the fans want Cam Newton. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.160 They want Cam Newton to be their guy because they 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.520 want somebody they you know, I think Patriots fans are saying, 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.480 all right, we lost Brady, who you got next? Wait 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.720 a minute, you're gonna try to make Jared's did him work? 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.480 You're gonna try to make Brian who your work? Again? 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.120 Wait a minute, we want Cam new We want a name. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.760 We need somebody's gonna be able to push the football downfield. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.240 Now that part I get, I understand the Patriots fans, Listen, 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.160 we just had twenty years of the fast lane. We 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.160 want to I want to stay in the fast lane, 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.200 but I think the reality that people have to understand. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.920 You know, I know you got some stuff on Cam Newton, 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.520 but the Patriots aren't going to try to compete this 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.320 year with Brady and who can win the breakup? Right, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.960 Brady's all in in Tampa. Right, this's a win now situation. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.400 He's got great weapons at wide receiver's got a pretty 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.920 good young defense. He's there to show you, you know 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.280 what it's like the wire. You know, Belichick and Brady 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.840 were like Avon Stringer, Right, Hey, we're close. You did 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.600 a lot together, but in the end we got it. 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.520 Sorry spoiler alert, we got it. We got one of 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.360 them's got to get the other one. Right, So there's 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.040 gonna be this Brady wants to prove everybody wrong and 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.280 show you and look, I'm out from New England. I'm 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.680 out for everything going on. Watch me win, and I'm 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.760 gonna do better than Belichick did. And Belichick and the 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:22.000 Patriots are taking a different tack of well, we're gonna 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.520 kind of rebuild now here a little bit, which is 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.040 good news. For the Patriots because it tells me that 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.280 Belichick's gonna be around for a long time, that he's 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.400 gonna see through. But this is gonna be one of 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.840 those bridge type years where they figure stuff out. They 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.280 don't have a lot of money. You know, maybe they 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.760 wind up making a trade here or there, but I 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.520 don't know that they're gonna go crazy. Look, they had 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.919 to haven't added players in free agency, they haven't made 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.919 a big splash and said we're gonna do X, y 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.440 and Z to replace Tom Brady. This looks like this 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:49.880 is going to be that kind of bridge here where 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.520 I yeah, could Stidham or Horrier be the quarterbacks here? Sure? Absolutely? 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.960 You know, could they sign a veteran to coming At 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.200 some point? They signed Brian Hoyer to be that guy. 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.920 So I think this is this is the Patriots you're 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.440 gonna see, and it's gonna be We're gonna figure things out, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.120 and then twenty twenty one or after the draft happens, 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.080 when we get our quarterback in the future in place, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.839 then you're gonna see us really make moves. Yes, let's 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.240 start with the Cam Newton thing. I haven't heard Patriots 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:20.200 fandom I want him. But last week, it was, well, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.359 the Bears should have gotten him, or why didn't the 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.599 Chargers get him? Like you have to understand what a 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.120 unique fit Cam Newton would have to be. And I 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.400 do think that when look, when Carolina let him go, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:36.960 all right, you can chalk that one up to a 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.240 regime change if you want. You know, the regime changed. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.919 They just wanted to start start fresh. But when the 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.640 Washington Redskins trade for a Panthers quarterback and it's not 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.080 Cam Newton, and then you know, you got the head 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:55.520 coach saying, you know the thing, you know, the thing 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.360 we get is we get somebody who knows the system, 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.360 like who knows what the Carolina Panthers one do better 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.120 than Cam Newton like he was the starting quarterback. Scott 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.279 Turner comes over, Norv Turner's son, who Cam had worked 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.039 with the last couple of years. So it's pretty obvious 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.560 that Ron rivera one. What wasn't quite down. The second 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.200 part is the money does matter? Kim who's not coming 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.560 to play for like a million dollars to prove it right? 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.240 Like he views himself, he's in that he's screwed, He's 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.599 in that he still views himself as an MVP, who's 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:25.800 got to prove himself, Like, all right, you will, I 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.800 to prove myself. Fine, let me be the starter for 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.400 twenty twenty five million for two years, right Teddy Bridgewater 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.880 hasn't been started five games this year, barely through the ball, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.520 and he gets twenty million years for three straight, for 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.039 three years. Like, I'm better than that. I should get more, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.200 which I guess on paper he should, but no one 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.960 knows of his arms sound. He didn't throw the ball. 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.600 He hasn't thrown the ball well in over a year. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.960 There's a reason they shut him down. And then you 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.120 factor in he's never been a terribly accurate passer. He's 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.880 only been in one place, and the place the coach 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.440 that had him didn't want him. You know, I don't 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.200 know where a home is, but it's definitely not in 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:06.920 New England. That's not how they roll. That's not who 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.720 they are. They're not a team that goes out in 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.400 science free agents. They're not a guy who get to 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.640 sign a guy who's injury injury plagued the last couple 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.520 of years and be able to take him or want 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.680 to take him, and they're a guy there. They're an 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.560 offense that is one very cerebral and two all about accuracy, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.640 and that's not what Cam Newton's about. And Cam Newton's 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.960 all about Cam. He's not about team. That's not what 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.880 the Patriots about. So he's not going there like that's 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.120 not happening. Usually, you go somewhere where you've worked with 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.480 somebody before, right where you have there's a connection there, 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.760 and there just isn't with him outside of Buffalo and 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.760 the Redskins, and neither want him as their quarterback. Well, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.560 and also you have to understand that Cam gets a 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.760 clean bill of health from the Panthers doctors before he 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.920 gets released. Right, he gets cleaned every everything is good. Okay, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.600 if I want you, I want to be able to examine, 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.200 have my own doctors look at you. And that can't happen. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.080 All right, that can't happen. Who knows when that can happen. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.160 But still even though he's released, he's out there, I 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.400 gotta clean the Okay. Well, you know what, if the 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.360 Patriots wanted them, they'd have gone after him. If they 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.160 wanted Jamis Winston, they'd have gone after him. If anybody 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.440 wanted Jamis Winston, they'd have gone after him. I anybody 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.520 else wanted Cam Newton, they'd have gone after him now 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.040 and at least kicked the tires. But you have not 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.280 heard one team hey sources, because you know his agent 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.520 would leak hey sources. Cam is talking with the Bengals, 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.120 Cam is talking with her camas. You're not getting that. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.040 I think right now they're in he and jamis here 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.640 and wait and see what happens with the draft. Who 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.760 doesn't get their targets at the draft? Like what really happens? 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.920 All right? So Burrow goes one? I think Chase Young 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.760 goes to what happens at three with Detroit? Do they 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.959 really try and trade Stafford? I don't think so, because 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.880 there's no there's no sensible home for him. Um does 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.840 somebody trade up with Detroit? Who is it? Is it 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.880 the Chargers? Is it the Dolphins? You know? Um? You know? 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.120 Is it is it the Rates? Who decide we want to? 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.320 And all this stuff has been a smoke stream that 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.560 we suddenly like Derek Carr, Now, I think that's what 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.280 those that's the mode those guys are in and they're 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.000 just cat have to play the long game. But I'll 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.839 just tell you, like, look, you start to go through 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.480 team by team by team, And I'll disagree with you 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.439 a little bit as far as where the Patriots are. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.280 But Cam struggles to be a backup because to backup, 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.840 you're supposed to be ready to be a starter. But 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.880 it's all about getting the starter ready. So you're not 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.360 going to put him in a locker room a with 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.680 a young guy who's not proven because his ego, his 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.319 resume that that's not gonna work. Plus that's just not 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.839 who he is. He's not a guy who's gonna help 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.880 the other guy. You're not gonna put him with a rookie, 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:43.720 you know, and eventually, you know, the rookie takes over, 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.360 like that's not going to go. Well, So who what quarterbacked, 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:51.480 starved team needs Cannon? Could it be the Dolphins maybe 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.520 if they don't get one of their targets in the draft, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.400 But would they prefer Ryan Fitzpatrick to a Cam Newton. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.480 There's all these people like you don't like Tyrode Taylor, Like, 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.280 all right, Well, Tyrod Taylor has played for Anthony Lynn 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.360 before in Buffalo they went to the playoffs, and Tyrod 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.079 Taylor does two things that Philip Rivers did not do, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.160 which is doesn't turn the ball over and he can move. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.720 He can't run screen past when Philip rivers, he cannot move, 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:22.360 can't move. And is Cam Newton empirically better than Tyrod Taylor. Yeah, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.400 if he's healthy, don't know. If he's health with his arm, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.160 don't know. He's health of his legs hasn't been there before. 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.839 And Tyrod Taylor makes seven point five million dollars, they 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.960 can move on from him really easily. You're not gonna 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.680 get Cam Newton for that. So I think Cam Newton's 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.240 gonna have a tough time finding at home. This is 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.200 one of the things that happened at Colin Kaepernick. Like 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.480 everybody thinks that Colin Kaepernick was out of the league 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.160 simply because he was kneeling, Like, No, it's because he 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.040 wanted it. He wanted to be a starter and he 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:47.640 wasn't a starter. And to be a backup, you gotta 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.240 be all about the starter. You gotta be all about 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.240 somebody else. And he wanted too much money. And you know, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.680 he had no one knew how healthy he was. He 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.199 had armed problems, he had leg problems. It's the same thing, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.680 only you don't have the kneeling, you know, But Cam 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.520 hadn't been healthy. Here's the thing with the Patriots. I 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.280 don't know if Jared Sidham can play. I can't tell 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.240 you that if you look like Jared Stidham was a 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.840 really highly tauted kid coming out, went to went to Baylor, 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.000 then went to Auburn, as it was he grade at Auburn, Like, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.640 I don't know, he was Okay, he was good. They 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.200 were not a very good team, but it was because 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.600 their defense was terrible, not so that he was terrible. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.760 He's had a year there. Hoyer is the guy who's 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.800 been that system, knows that system, kind of like he's 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.800 the consummate backup type who can start in a pinch spot. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.800 I don't think they're gonna I agree with you. They're 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.000 not trying to win the divorce. I think they're gonna 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.199 try and be who the Patriots have always been. And 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.080 I'm not sure there's a terrible case to be made 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.640 that they couldn't be somewhere slightly less than what they 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.280 were last year. Because if we would all agree that 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.199 Tom Brady wasn't great, you can tell me that Tom 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.640 Brady wasn't great because he didn't have great players around him. Okay, 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.880 but tom Brady was still forty two years old, he 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.240 wasn't great himself. Can Jared Stidham be at least that? 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.839 Because remember they won on defense and special teams, trick 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.199 play the first nine weeks they scored. They scored every 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.840 week on defense, right, and they also had a soft 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.280 some soft spots in their schedule. And we don't know 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.559 what the division looks like. It looks like it should 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.319 be better. Buffalo back from the playoffs, Jets when healthy 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.360 should be better. And you would think Miami's better. But 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.120 you know, if the league is the vision is slightly better, 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.400 They're still gonna have that defense, It's still gonna run 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.240 the football. They're still gonna have be coached by Josh McDaniels. 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.360 And if he can figure it out, think I mean, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.520 I don't know. I don't think they're gonna try. They 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.800 they're able to win the whole thing. I don't think 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.439 it's crazy to think they can be some somewhat similar 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.280 to be as competitive as they were last year, you know, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.760 because but they're not gonna go over the top to say, Okay, 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.640 now Brady's gone. Now we're gonna now we're gonna bring 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.520 this guy and bring this guy in. Because I'll tell 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.760 you this if you if I had to put money 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.400 on who the Patriots are gonna tab and say this 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.680 is our quarterback of the future, yes, I would say 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.480 they're gonna draft Jalen Hurts and he's going to be 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.960 the guy groom like they groom Garoppolo because that's what 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.560 the Patriots want to do. Let's get a young, athletic, 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.000 cheap quarterback because this is the way the NFL is going. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.600 Let's make sure we get a guy that can make 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.319 plays in the modern NFL, which is not just drop 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.200 back and be a statue. That's kind of what every 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.360 team wants, and that's the Patriots want. You have the 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.800 connection of Hurts with Sabin, with Belichick. He was able 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.600 to go and become a guy who at Alabama I 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.840 thought was very overrated because did he make enough plays? 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.920 Was he dynamic enough? I didn't see that. But then 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.120 he goes to Oklahoma, you put him in that offense 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.040 and suddenly, bang, Lincoln Riley's got him. Hey, he's a 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.240 Heisman Trophy candidate. So he really showed. Hey, I went 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.839 somewhere and I learned an entirely new offense in the year, 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.120 and look what I did. He's gonna be the guy 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.520 the Patriots are going to identify and say he's our one, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.720 and they'll do it, just like with Garoppolo, because what 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.200 did they do? Did they rush Garoppolo along? No, he 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.480 waited for a long time to finally get his chance, 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.560 and he played well in the four games and it 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.160 was Okay, Garoppolo's our guy. That's kind of how I 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.480 see this quarterback room going for the Patriots. It's going 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.439 to be Stin, it's gonna be Hyer, and then it's 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.240 gonna be Jalen Hurts. Is the pressure to put Hurts 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.760 in gonna be immense? If Stidham throws up on himself, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.800 sure it will be. But again, as you said, that's 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.760 not how the Patriots do. Thinks. But if I'm looking 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.199 at their quarterback, I would like to say they jump 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:14.719 up for two up, but they're not going to trade 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.640 the draft capital go all the way up to number three, 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.080 even though Matt Patricia is there, and it's a lot 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.720 to give up for the Patriots. I would agree, and 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.040 it would be very it would. It would not be 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.160 their style, but but you know, times change. I don't know, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.880 I don't I mean Jalen Hurts, I don't know. Where 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.440 he goes third, fourth round or whatever, maybe he gets 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.920 drafted a little bit higher. Um, you know, the the 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.920 the m O on him is he he has a 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.120 a bag of chips on his shoulder, like he thinks 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.640 the world has done him terribly wrong. And um, look, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.000 he's a he's a he is a smart football player 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.000 from a football family who's played a lot of a 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.240 lot of quarterback. But he still has the same issues. 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.960 And I would say, when you start that much and 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.480 you're a guy who holds a ball a bit too long, 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.160 he has to. He's not an anticipatory thrower at all. 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.040 Like I don't think he's Belichick's kind of guy, even 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.400 though he's bright, which is Belichick's kind of guy. Like 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.600 everybody's about anticipatory throws, seeing it before it happens, and 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.440 that's not who Jalen Hurts is. He throws the guys 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.640 who are wide open, or he runs a football. That's 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.320 what he does. And he's not crazy accurate. So I 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.520 do think the idea of getting a smart quarterback who 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:31.040 may be lacking something, you know, that's a that's a possibility. 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.920 You know, A Burrow is his type of guy. The 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.960 problem is Burrow is going to go too high this year. Right, 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.240 Burrow is super smart, crazy accurate, doesn't have the strongest 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.840 arm in the world. But in the checklist of things 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.280 that you need for starting quarterback in the NFL, that's 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.560 like fourth or fifth, you need all the other things 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.320 that he has great feet, and so I think that's 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.160 what he'd be looking for. And I again I think 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.440 we don't. We just don't know. It's because the NFL 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.160 works in a different, the opposite fashion of the NBA. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.240 The NBA as the draft than he has free agency. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.600 The NFL is agency. Then they have the draft, and 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.160 as we've seen before, some teams even what they do 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.960 in free agency doesn't matter if if the right guy 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.520 becomes available. Philadelphia, remember they had Sam Bradford, they overpaid 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:15.160 for him. They saw Carson Wentz is available, they jump 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.200 up get Carson Wentz. We saw the same thing with 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.880 the Chicago Bears, right, they get Mike Glennon and then 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.200 they trade up and they get Mitch Mitchell Trubisky. We 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.120 saw it with the Cardinals two years ago. They had 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.160 two had Sam Bradford, and they end up getting Josh Rosen, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.360 trade up to get Josh Rosen and then part ways 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.840 with Josh Rosen, So I think there's it. It goes 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.040 in waves. I think the Patriots is set. They may 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.440 take a guy second or third day. But I don't 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.120 think anybody who's gonna I would agree with you or 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.160 not anybody who's gonna get in that quarterback room and 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:49.120 starter played this year. But I don't think Hurts is 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:50.720 I could be wrong. I don't think Hurts is the 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.520 guy twitter at How about a Fresca Doug at Gottlieb Show, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.920 Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb in for Dan and the Dan. 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.720 That's we'll see what Jeff Schwartz have to say, former 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.600 NFL ol serious XM NFL college football analysts has to say. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.800 Is there a home for Jamis Winston?

Be 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.879 sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.480 Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.720 Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP Fox Sports Radio 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.640 The Dan Patrick Show, Dan the Dane's a planned week off. 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.520 Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb in for them today and we 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.320 talked about the Patriots and what they're likely going to 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.720 do at quarterback this season a few minutes ago, and 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.760 now we get this story that maybe Tom Brady was 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:41.320 his best friend of himself during free agency. Jason light 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.160 Gm of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went on ESPN early 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.560 this morning and said that on the first day of 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:51.680 free agency, Tom Brady was actually the one selling them 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.240 on why should go to Tampa Bay. Prior to that time, 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.760 during the legal tampering period, teams only able to talk 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.600 to player agents get a feel for interest, but Brady 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.200 was the one who talked to them and pitched himself 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.680 on joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, being the narrative of 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.439 there was one team I wanted, and this is the 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.000 team I want to see. This is what Notre Dame 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.120 always used to do. There was always when they would 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.879 pick a head coach. It was always all right, they 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:16.960 had all these names, but you would hear one name 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.000 and then that turned out to be the head coach. 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.160 Sources say. The Notre Dame is talking with Brian Kelly, 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.040 sources say, and then that would wind up being the coach. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.720 I feel like this is a bit of well, we 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.880 want everybody to know that Tom could have gone anywhere, 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.240 but he picked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when maybe that 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.679 robust market for Brady wasn't quite what they thought it 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:38.960 was going to be and what he thought it was 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.639 going to be going into the draft, well, going into 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.280 free agency. I've talked to a couple of people who 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.679 were around kind of this process, and I think everybody 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.639 was like Tampa, like Tampa just didn't doesn't feel like 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.160 like Tom Brady's regal doesn't feel like it. I think 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.480 the Miami thing was real just because that's where his 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.280 wife wants to be, where they you know, he has 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.320 another child who's in New York. New York is going 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.640 to be home New Yorker's home. That's why they bought 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:10.600 that house in Greenwich, and this is that even though 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:12.320 and I think he kind of did the same thing 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.159 when he talked to the Chargers, was like that was 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.720 how he preferred. You know, he really invested in the process, 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:23.520 knowing everybody involved and making everybody feel like he wants 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.400 to play for them. And ultimately Tampa was the decision, 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.919 but I think it was I think Miami was, in 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.520 terms of destination, the one he wanted to go to. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.080 I think the Chargers probably had the best personnel and 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:42.160
