Good morning, Welcome to Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:27,788 --> 00:00:30,308 Speaker 1: We are live in New York City. It is Friday, 4 00:00:30,388 --> 00:00:34,668 Speaker 1: March seventeenth. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everybody. Sarah Walsh alongside 5 00:00:34,748 --> 00:00:37,668 Speaker 1: Kyle Brand, Jason mccordy, James Palmer. By the way, the 6 00:00:37,788 --> 00:00:40,508 Speaker 1: only acceptable reason to not have green on James Palmer 7 00:00:40,668 --> 00:00:43,508 Speaker 1: is if you're wearing a Princeton T shirt. That's true. 8 00:00:43,748 --> 00:00:45,228 Speaker 1: Here we go. I haven't said this all week, and 9 00:00:45,268 --> 00:00:47,148 Speaker 1: I actually was like, have I screwed this up? But 10 00:00:47,308 --> 00:00:49,028 Speaker 1: apparently we just didn't say it all week. It is 11 00:00:49,068 --> 00:00:54,548 Speaker 1: time now for the lean block. We're still waiting to hear. Well, 12 00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:56,668 Speaker 1: you know it's pent up all week, you know, so 13 00:00:56,828 --> 00:00:59,228 Speaker 1: wait to hear the details of a potential Aaron Rodgers 14 00:00:59,268 --> 00:01:01,308 Speaker 1: trade from the Packers to the Jets. Here is a 15 00:01:01,348 --> 00:01:04,468 Speaker 1: look at the four time MVP's last four season in 16 00:01:05,268 --> 00:01:07,628 Speaker 1: Green Bay. I'd have been drop off in twenty twenty two, 17 00:01:07,788 --> 00:01:11,228 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to winning percentage. Fans on either 18 00:01:11,348 --> 00:01:14,828 Speaker 1: side of this potential Tree sounded pretty pumped about the move. 19 00:01:16,268 --> 00:01:19,348 Speaker 1: I am a Green Bay package thing. I'm interested in 20 00:01:19,388 --> 00:01:22,788 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers only because he was a quarterback into Green 21 00:01:22,868 --> 00:01:26,348 Speaker 1: Bay pack. I am thankful for the fifteen to eighteen years. 22 00:01:26,548 --> 00:01:28,908 Speaker 1: That was really good, that was green But it's time 23 00:01:28,908 --> 00:01:32,308 Speaker 1: to move on. This is the happiest day of my life. 24 00:01:32,388 --> 00:01:35,788 Speaker 1: I am more happy than after fifteen times proposing to 25 00:01:35,868 --> 00:01:38,988 Speaker 1: my wife. On the sixteen times she said, yes, I 26 00:01:38,988 --> 00:01:41,548 Speaker 1: am more happier than that day, you know. And now 27 00:01:41,588 --> 00:01:43,748 Speaker 1: it gets you know, there's there's all kinds of perse 28 00:01:43,828 --> 00:01:45,988 Speaker 1: to this. Now we got Jordan Loved in the Ferraris 29 00:01:45,988 --> 00:01:47,828 Speaker 1: out of the garage. Tune it up a little this, 30 00:01:48,028 --> 00:01:49,868 Speaker 1: you know. Maybe here we'll just give her a little 31 00:01:49,908 --> 00:01:52,388 Speaker 1: tune up. And then Rogers had to take Lazard with him. 32 00:01:52,388 --> 00:01:54,028 Speaker 1: I'll take the best, take the best player with you. 33 00:01:54,148 --> 00:01:56,708 Speaker 1: Just screw Green Bay a little more. That's fine with us. 34 00:01:56,908 --> 00:02:00,668 Speaker 1: We got Jordan Love. Just like that. The tables of 35 00:02:00,668 --> 00:02:04,868 Speaker 1: officially turned after the number one team in New York football, 36 00:02:04,948 --> 00:02:07,508 Speaker 1: Easy Cohen's Under Yankee fans beds at night. It's a 37 00:02:07,628 --> 00:02:11,268 Speaker 1: great day in New York. Great, great day. Great great 38 00:02:11,308 --> 00:02:13,988 Speaker 1: to hear the news. Finally, finally, Jets have a beacon 39 00:02:14,028 --> 00:02:18,428 Speaker 1: of hope. We're throwing out beacon of hope. We're throwing 40 00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:22,028 Speaker 1: out Ferrari's out of the garage. Yeah, I mean everyone 41 00:02:22,148 --> 00:02:25,588 Speaker 1: just seems thrilled about this same on both sides of 42 00:02:25,628 --> 00:02:29,068 Speaker 1: the fan basis about this potential Aaron Rodgers trade. So 43 00:02:29,188 --> 00:02:32,468 Speaker 1: would this truly be a win win situation for both 44 00:02:32,508 --> 00:02:36,988 Speaker 1: the Packers and the Jets? It feels like that right now, Jason, 45 00:02:37,148 --> 00:02:41,308 Speaker 1: is it? Can you imagine proposing sixteen times? At what 46 00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:43,828 Speaker 1: point is it just like this may not be? But 47 00:02:43,908 --> 00:02:46,948 Speaker 1: even still on the sixteenth time, like she said, yes, 48 00:02:47,108 --> 00:02:49,948 Speaker 1: so you married the girl that you wanted to marry 49 00:02:50,108 --> 00:02:53,388 Speaker 1: with the Green Bay Packers? Are you sure Jordan Love 50 00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:55,388 Speaker 1: is the one that you want to marry? About it? 51 00:02:55,788 --> 00:02:58,788 Speaker 1: Great about that is we have the Ferrari in the garage, 52 00:02:58,868 --> 00:03:01,908 Speaker 1: Like why are we putting him in the Ferrari class already? 53 00:03:02,188 --> 00:03:04,588 Speaker 1: Let's kind of wait and see what happens. So for 54 00:03:04,668 --> 00:03:07,828 Speaker 1: Green Bay fans, I love the excitement and you're kind 55 00:03:07,828 --> 00:03:10,068 Speaker 1: of anxious to see what you have in Jordan Love. 56 00:03:10,188 --> 00:03:13,108 Speaker 1: But the fired up that Aaron Rodgers is walking out 57 00:03:13,108 --> 00:03:15,148 Speaker 1: of the door, I don't know if that's just an 58 00:03:15,188 --> 00:03:18,428 Speaker 1: automatic win win. That's kind of a let's wait and see. 59 00:03:18,468 --> 00:03:21,188 Speaker 1: On the flip side, for the new York Jets fans like, yeah, 60 00:03:21,228 --> 00:03:23,748 Speaker 1: this is one hundred percent. When you look at the 61 00:03:23,828 --> 00:03:26,908 Speaker 1: Jets quarterback history, I mean, it's just been abysmal. You 62 00:03:26,988 --> 00:03:29,148 Speaker 1: go all the way back to Joe Naman, first quarterback 63 00:03:29,148 --> 00:03:32,148 Speaker 1: in NFL history to throw for four thousand yards in 64 00:03:32,188 --> 00:03:34,788 Speaker 1: a season. You know how many New York Jets quarterbacks 65 00:03:34,788 --> 00:03:40,308 Speaker 1: have done so since zero zero have done it four thousands. 66 00:03:40,308 --> 00:03:43,348 Speaker 1: No one has hit four thousand yards. Aaron Rodgers has 67 00:03:43,348 --> 00:03:46,148 Speaker 1: done that ten times throughout his career. So I'm not 68 00:03:46,188 --> 00:03:49,668 Speaker 1: saying automatically in twenty twenty four, twenty three, he's going 69 00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:52,148 Speaker 1: to throw for four thousand yards, but he's done it before. 70 00:03:52,428 --> 00:03:55,908 Speaker 1: The Jets last Pro Bowl quarterback Brett Farve in two 71 00:03:55,948 --> 00:03:59,828 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Before Brett Farve, then he Testaverdi in 72 00:03:59,988 --> 00:04:02,588 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight. So if I'm a Jets fan, the 73 00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:05,188 Speaker 1: fact that Aaron Rodgers is coming to town, I don't 74 00:04:05,228 --> 00:04:07,188 Speaker 1: care how it ends up. I am fired up. It 75 00:04:07,308 --> 00:04:10,268 Speaker 1: is a beacon of hope. You feel great about Roger's 76 00:04:10,348 --> 00:04:12,148 Speaker 1: walking in. You don't care how he handles to New 77 00:04:12,228 --> 00:04:14,988 Speaker 1: York media. Bring whoever he wants with them, wish list, 78 00:04:15,068 --> 00:04:17,788 Speaker 1: no wish list. You're just happy to have Aaron Rodgers, 79 00:04:17,788 --> 00:04:19,868 Speaker 1: so I would be fired up as well. I love 80 00:04:19,868 --> 00:04:21,788 Speaker 1: the Green Bay positivity. It's one of the things I 81 00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:24,548 Speaker 1: love about where we'll cover the Packers. There's a lot 82 00:04:24,588 --> 00:04:26,828 Speaker 1: of optimism right now for a guy we haven't seen 83 00:04:27,148 --> 00:04:30,748 Speaker 1: in three years. I'll say this careful what you wish for? Yes, 84 00:04:30,868 --> 00:04:34,908 Speaker 1: I understand what is going on. Is it time? Probably? 85 00:04:35,348 --> 00:04:39,148 Speaker 1: Is Jordan love the long term solution? Yes? Does he 86 00:04:39,148 --> 00:04:42,708 Speaker 1: give you the best chance to win right now? Probably not. 87 00:04:43,388 --> 00:04:45,788 Speaker 1: Does he give the Packers and their fans their best 88 00:04:45,868 --> 00:04:49,868 Speaker 1: chance at a Super Bowl this season? Probably not? Out 89 00:04:49,908 --> 00:04:53,668 Speaker 1: of the two. Remember, you are giving up a future 90 00:04:54,028 --> 00:04:57,668 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback that Mark Murphy already said will 91 00:04:57,708 --> 00:05:02,228 Speaker 1: have his number retired. Because it's time. Last time we 92 00:05:02,348 --> 00:05:04,748 Speaker 1: heard something like this where it's just you know what, 93 00:05:04,908 --> 00:05:07,708 Speaker 1: it's just time. I hate to make the comparison over 94 00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:10,548 Speaker 1: and over again, Testival, But it's Brady leaving New England. 95 00:05:10,948 --> 00:05:13,908 Speaker 1: What has happened in New England since Brady has left? 96 00:05:14,388 --> 00:05:16,988 Speaker 1: Mike Gardi for NFL Network had a pretty darn good 97 00:05:17,068 --> 00:05:20,868 Speaker 1: gig living in Boston and covering the Patriots every day, 98 00:05:20,948 --> 00:05:23,148 Speaker 1: never had to travel. Ask Mike how much he's seen 99 00:05:23,228 --> 00:05:26,668 Speaker 1: his family over the last couple of years. Peyton Manning 100 00:05:26,908 --> 00:05:30,188 Speaker 1: retired in Denver in twenty fifteen. They haven't had a 101 00:05:30,188 --> 00:05:33,628 Speaker 1: winning season since he retired. I live in Denver. You 102 00:05:33,668 --> 00:05:35,588 Speaker 1: know how many times I've seen my family in the 103 00:05:35,668 --> 00:05:39,268 Speaker 1: last seven seasons. On one of my phones, I will 104 00:05:39,308 --> 00:05:41,908 Speaker 1: FaceTime my family and my son will say, Mom, there's 105 00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:44,428 Speaker 1: a man on the phone because he doesn't know what 106 00:05:44,468 --> 00:05:47,948 Speaker 1: I look like. This is what happens to your franchise 107 00:05:48,068 --> 00:05:52,548 Speaker 1: when you lose one of these players, your relevancy changes. 108 00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:57,228 Speaker 1: Ken Jordan Love keep the Packers relevant immediately. We haven't 109 00:05:57,268 --> 00:06:00,308 Speaker 1: seen it with these quarterbacks that are generational talents, the 110 00:06:00,428 --> 00:06:03,228 Speaker 1: greatest we've ever seen. Now, it may ease the blow 111 00:06:03,268 --> 00:06:05,828 Speaker 1: a little bit. Consider they went eight and nine and 112 00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:08,588 Speaker 1: we saw Rogers throw just twenty six touchdown passes and 113 00:06:08,628 --> 00:06:11,468 Speaker 1: we saw them have a ninety one quarterback rating. Explaining 114 00:06:11,468 --> 00:06:15,188 Speaker 1: with a broken thumb, rib injuries, is that the real Rogers? 115 00:06:15,388 --> 00:06:17,068 Speaker 1: Maybe that makes you think we should move on to 116 00:06:17,148 --> 00:06:19,708 Speaker 1: Jordan Love and it makes you a little happy about it. 117 00:06:19,708 --> 00:06:21,388 Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting to see what you look for, 118 00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:24,468 Speaker 1: because your relevancy changes when these guys leave your town. 119 00:06:24,628 --> 00:06:26,948 Speaker 1: The Patriots are sub five hundreds and this Brady left. 120 00:06:26,988 --> 00:06:30,948 Speaker 1: They have a losing record. Green Bay. You sweet, sweet people. 121 00:06:33,188 --> 00:06:37,428 Speaker 1: You guys have no idea. You don't know what it's 122 00:06:37,468 --> 00:06:41,148 Speaker 1: like to not have a quarterback. I love you. I 123 00:06:41,188 --> 00:06:43,308 Speaker 1: grew up spending my summers in Wisconsin. I feel like 124 00:06:43,308 --> 00:06:45,388 Speaker 1: I'm sort of part of you. You got no idea. 125 00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:48,988 Speaker 1: It's been what thirty thirty five years since you have 126 00:06:49,108 --> 00:06:52,068 Speaker 1: not had a first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback. Welcome 127 00:06:52,108 --> 00:06:54,708 Speaker 1: to the rest of us. Get ready? Did they refer 128 00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:57,828 Speaker 1: to Jordan Love as a Ferrari? Yea, based on what 129 00:06:59,188 --> 00:07:00,748 Speaker 1: I remember back in the eighties, there was a car 130 00:07:00,788 --> 00:07:03,588 Speaker 1: called the Fierro, and its whole business angle was that 131 00:07:03,588 --> 00:07:06,188 Speaker 1: it kind of sounded Ferrari and it was like a 132 00:07:06,308 --> 00:07:10,388 Speaker 1: Kirkland brand Ferrari. He might be, yeah, it was. It 133 00:07:10,428 --> 00:07:12,628 Speaker 1: was sort of a cousin of the Miata. I hope 134 00:07:12,708 --> 00:07:14,868 Speaker 1: Jordan Love turns to me to your third straight Hall 135 00:07:14,948 --> 00:07:17,068 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback, And I mean it'd be like hitting 136 00:07:17,068 --> 00:07:19,148 Speaker 1: three hole and ones in a row on a golf course. 137 00:07:19,268 --> 00:07:22,548 Speaker 1: Maybe you will, but my god, do you understand guys? 138 00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:25,468 Speaker 1: What if you start owned two and it's not going 139 00:07:25,508 --> 00:07:27,628 Speaker 1: well and you're gonna be like, what the hell is this? 140 00:07:27,988 --> 00:07:30,468 Speaker 1: Why isn't our quarterback playing well? Because that's the NFL. 141 00:07:30,508 --> 00:07:33,388 Speaker 1: The quarterbacks are not good a lot. You guys are 142 00:07:33,548 --> 00:07:37,068 Speaker 1: one percenters and you have been generationally. There are Packers 143 00:07:37,108 --> 00:07:40,188 Speaker 1: fans who have children now who have never breathed and 144 00:07:40,188 --> 00:07:42,668 Speaker 1: a breath of oxygen without a Hall of Fame quarterback 145 00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:44,708 Speaker 1: on every Sunday. They don't even know what life is like. 146 00:07:44,828 --> 00:07:47,428 Speaker 1: These are not even young people. They're like people who 147 00:07:47,468 --> 00:07:49,788 Speaker 1: have kids and families, and they're like, I don't remember 148 00:07:49,788 --> 00:07:53,508 Speaker 1: a pre FARV TV demographic they are. These are like 149 00:07:53,788 --> 00:07:55,828 Speaker 1: like the older people like I would hang out with 150 00:07:55,868 --> 00:07:58,108 Speaker 1: these guys and they're like they don't remember a pre farm. Well, 151 00:07:58,108 --> 00:08:00,108 Speaker 1: you're about to see post Rogers and maybe it'll be great. 152 00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:03,508 Speaker 1: It might not be And just to second cover both bases, 153 00:08:03,788 --> 00:08:06,228 Speaker 1: the New York Jets fans are actually saying, some of them, 154 00:08:06,228 --> 00:08:07,668 Speaker 1: I've seen it. This is not a good thing, and 155 00:08:07,668 --> 00:08:09,948 Speaker 1: they're worried about it. And we had Ryan Leef here 156 00:08:10,028 --> 00:08:11,868 Speaker 1: being like, this is gonna be a mud slide, he said, 157 00:08:11,948 --> 00:08:14,908 Speaker 1: Rogers the Jets disaster. I have seen Jets fans I 158 00:08:14,948 --> 00:08:17,108 Speaker 1: have talked to them who say we got this great 159 00:08:17,188 --> 00:08:19,828 Speaker 1: young core and this great young talent and we're bringing 160 00:08:19,868 --> 00:08:22,308 Speaker 1: in that weirdo to pay him sixteen million bucks a 161 00:08:22,348 --> 00:08:23,908 Speaker 1: year and he's gonna ruin it. And we have two 162 00:08:23,988 --> 00:08:25,588 Speaker 1: years to win the Super Bowl and that's all blown up. 163 00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:27,428 Speaker 1: We should not do this, and you guys are out 164 00:08:27,428 --> 00:08:30,268 Speaker 1: of your minds. Jason brought up all the points. Haven't 165 00:08:30,268 --> 00:08:32,148 Speaker 1: had a Pro Bowlers since the last quarterback you got 166 00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:35,188 Speaker 1: from the Packers, haven't had an MVP ever. I was 167 00:08:35,228 --> 00:08:37,188 Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl. I was actually there, you know, 168 00:08:37,228 --> 00:08:39,028 Speaker 1: I was talking to the Pro Bowl. I just ran 169 00:08:39,068 --> 00:08:41,508 Speaker 1: into randomly, great guy. I was talking to Chad Penningson 170 00:08:41,508 --> 00:08:43,028 Speaker 1: for a long time. We were talking about how fun 171 00:08:43,108 --> 00:08:45,348 Speaker 1: this is and the Pro Bowl, and I go, did 172 00:08:45,388 --> 00:08:46,948 Speaker 1: you like this when you were at the Pro Bowl? 173 00:08:46,948 --> 00:08:48,988 Speaker 1: And he goes, bro, I had never been to the 174 00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:50,548 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, and like, you didn't make a Pro Bowl. 175 00:08:50,588 --> 00:08:53,988 Speaker 1: He's like, na jets man. I was like, yes, guys, 176 00:08:53,988 --> 00:08:56,548 Speaker 1: you got Rogers. You don't love this out to you 177 00:08:56,548 --> 00:09:00,148 Speaker 1: even mind? What is your alternative? You guys? You love Rogers. 178 00:09:00,308 --> 00:09:03,868 Speaker 1: Packers fans be very careful loving loves. Just wait a minute, 179 00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:05,948 Speaker 1: this might not go great. I love to stop it. 180 00:09:05,988 --> 00:09:08,188 Speaker 1: We can do three. How we all just lit up 181 00:09:08,188 --> 00:09:10,988 Speaker 1: this morning, said Juice too. I always just think, what 182 00:09:11,428 --> 00:09:13,108 Speaker 1: is your other option? Was there a better option there 183 00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:15,268 Speaker 1: for New York and there wasn't, So to your your 184 00:09:15,308 --> 00:09:18,628 Speaker 1: option of Aaron Rodgers, this MVP, that's that wouldn't work 185 00:09:18,668 --> 00:09:21,148 Speaker 1: for you. I also think, and you touched on a 186 00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:22,748 Speaker 1: little bit. As I was thinking about all of this, 187 00:09:22,828 --> 00:09:24,868 Speaker 1: I was thinking about what a wise man named Ryan 188 00:09:24,948 --> 00:09:27,388 Speaker 1: Leaf once said. And I say that about what yesterday, 189 00:09:27,428 --> 00:09:28,948 Speaker 1: two days ago, he was here, was here with us, 190 00:09:28,988 --> 00:09:30,388 Speaker 1: and he said, this is going to be the greatest 191 00:09:30,468 --> 00:09:32,868 Speaker 1: day of your lives, like when the trade is made, 192 00:09:32,948 --> 00:09:35,428 Speaker 1: like that's it and then everything else because it comes 193 00:09:35,428 --> 00:09:38,668 Speaker 1: with crazy expectations unless you're poisoned Lombardi, And there is 194 00:09:38,668 --> 00:09:41,188 Speaker 1: some truth to that, right because right now, for both sides, 195 00:09:41,268 --> 00:09:43,988 Speaker 1: everything's great, everything's awesome, and you should think it's awesome, 196 00:09:44,068 --> 00:09:46,828 Speaker 1: right because again, what is the alternative? I will say 197 00:09:46,868 --> 00:09:48,628 Speaker 1: there was a little bit of this segment that puts 198 00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:51,108 Speaker 1: some fear in my heart. When James Palmer was talking 199 00:09:51,148 --> 00:09:53,348 Speaker 1: about you know, Mike Giardi was there with Tom Brady 200 00:09:53,348 --> 00:09:55,428 Speaker 1: and the Patriots and he never had a travel I mean, 201 00:09:55,468 --> 00:09:58,348 Speaker 1: I just spent the last three seasons in Tampa. I 202 00:09:58,428 --> 00:09:59,908 Speaker 1: never touched a cold weather game, you know what I mean. 203 00:09:59,948 --> 00:10:02,228 Speaker 1: I'm just down there with Brady d You know what, 204 00:10:03,188 --> 00:10:05,348 Speaker 1: I'm actually not worried about that because Baker Mayfield's there. 205 00:10:05,348 --> 00:10:08,028 Speaker 1: So it's all gonna Lady's gonna keep it going down 206 00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:11,188 Speaker 1: there point in Tampa. All Right. We could talk about 207 00:10:11,188 --> 00:10:12,708 Speaker 1: this the rest of the show, but we got important 208 00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:15,028 Speaker 1: stuff to get to and that is Tom Pella Sero 209 00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:17,628 Speaker 1: joining us. Now. We want to bring in our insider 210 00:10:17,668 --> 00:10:21,268 Speaker 1: at the GMFE breakfast table, but we got to put 211 00:10:21,308 --> 00:10:23,468 Speaker 1: you on hold there. And it's not James Palmer here 212 00:10:23,468 --> 00:10:25,108 Speaker 1: with his two phones that's about to break some news. 213 00:10:25,148 --> 00:10:28,548 Speaker 1: We had Jason mccordy breaking some very very big news 214 00:10:28,628 --> 00:10:31,868 Speaker 1: last night. Jason, what do you got. Yeah, sources close 215 00:10:31,908 --> 00:10:34,788 Speaker 1: to me named Joe Cardona told me that he will 216 00:10:34,828 --> 00:10:38,708 Speaker 1: be resigning and going back to the New England Patriots 217 00:10:38,748 --> 00:10:41,748 Speaker 1: on a four year deal. The thing I learned in 218 00:10:41,788 --> 00:10:44,028 Speaker 1: New England it's all about the more you can do. 219 00:10:44,148 --> 00:10:47,588 Speaker 1: So whenever I can break news and get it out there, 220 00:10:48,188 --> 00:10:49,908 Speaker 1: I love it.

I wantever 226 00:11:07,468 --> 00:11:09,268 Speaker 1: I can help the people. I just like to do that, 227 00:11:09,348 --> 00:11:14,148 Speaker 1: So welcome in when contract time rolls around. Mccordy's contract 228 00:11:14,148 --> 00:11:17,188 Speaker 1: that just went up. He's got inside. It's on there. Tom. 229 00:11:17,228 --> 00:11:19,228 Speaker 1: I know we don't often tell you to take a 230 00:11:19,268 --> 00:11:22,068 Speaker 1: back seat to the inside information coming off of this desk, 231 00:11:22,108 --> 00:11:24,428 Speaker 1: but you gotta do what you gotta do. I apparently 232 00:11:24,468 --> 00:11:26,948 Speaker 1: you have some news too well. First of all, bold 233 00:11:26,988 --> 00:11:30,308 Speaker 1: move to immediately say who your source was on a story, 234 00:11:30,348 --> 00:11:34,148 Speaker 1: your first scoop, and you've already counted your source Joe Cardona. 235 00:11:34,188 --> 00:11:36,628 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Bill Belichick's a big fan of you 236 00:11:36,708 --> 00:11:39,988 Speaker 1: putting business out into the public, Jason, so fantastic work. 237 00:11:40,028 --> 00:11:42,108 Speaker 1: Your first scoop may well be your last. All right, 238 00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:44,188 Speaker 1: let's talk about what the Eagles have done over the 239 00:11:44,188 --> 00:11:47,348 Speaker 1: past twenty four hours. Here their quarterback Darius Slay, who 240 00:11:47,428 --> 00:11:50,188 Speaker 1: initially was told he was going to be released amidst 241 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:54,428 Speaker 1: potential trade talks, amidst contract talks never actually got released, 242 00:11:54,428 --> 00:11:57,868 Speaker 1: and now Slay is back. He agreed to terms last 243 00:11:57,948 --> 00:12:00,668 Speaker 1: night on a two year, forty two million dollar contract 244 00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:04,748 Speaker 1: extension that includes twenty three million dollars guaranteed. He is 245 00:12:04,788 --> 00:12:08,268 Speaker 1: now under contract through twenty twenty five. Now we know 246 00:12:08,308 --> 00:12:11,668 Speaker 1: that the Eagles lost Von Hargrave to that monster deal 247 00:12:11,908 --> 00:12:14,348 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, but they brought back Fletcher Cox, 248 00:12:14,588 --> 00:12:17,788 Speaker 1: they brought back Brandon Graham, they brought back James Bradberry. 249 00:12:17,788 --> 00:12:20,828 Speaker 1: They're keeping as much of the band together as they 250 00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:24,108 Speaker 1: can on that defense that's going to be under new 251 00:12:24,188 --> 00:12:27,188 Speaker 1: leadership this year, with Jonathan Gannon now leaving to be 252 00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:30,308 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals head coach. Meanwhile, one player who will 253 00:12:30,348 --> 00:12:33,308 Speaker 1: not be back with the Eagles is Gardner Minshew, their 254 00:12:33,388 --> 00:12:36,388 Speaker 1: backup quarterback who is following the other coordinator the Eagles 255 00:12:36,388 --> 00:12:40,148 Speaker 1: lost Shane Steke into Indianapolis. Minshew agree to terms on 256 00:12:40,228 --> 00:12:43,308 Speaker 1: a one year, three point five million dollars fully guaranteed 257 00:12:43,348 --> 00:12:46,748 Speaker 1: contract that also has some upside in terms of vincentis. 258 00:12:46,788 --> 00:12:50,308 Speaker 1: My understanding is Minshew was expected to sign that contract 259 00:12:50,588 --> 00:12:53,228 Speaker 1: today and he may well be on the field at 260 00:12:53,228 --> 00:12:55,588 Speaker 1: the start of the season. The Colts have the number 261 00:12:55,588 --> 00:12:58,468 Speaker 1: four overall draft pick. They could potentially be in position 262 00:12:58,708 --> 00:13:01,948 Speaker 1: to go and get their franchise quarterback. But for now, 263 00:13:02,188 --> 00:13:04,308 Speaker 1: the guy who slots at the top the depth chart 264 00:13:04,468 --> 00:13:06,708 Speaker 1: is a guy that we've seen star games in Jacksonville. 265 00:13:06,748 --> 00:13:08,708 Speaker 1: We see him start a little bit in Philadelphia. It 266 00:13:08,908 --> 00:13:12,188 Speaker 1: is Gardner Minshew headed to indie guys. Tom Pella, sero, 267 00:13:12,428 --> 00:13:14,388 Speaker 1: next time we have you on the show, like later 268 00:13:14,588 --> 00:13:17,348 Speaker 1: in the show, we'll give you top insider billing. Just 269 00:13:17,508 --> 00:13:18,988 Speaker 1: not out of the gate here, not when you got 270 00:13:18,988 --> 00:13:22,868 Speaker 1: to compete with mccordy. You know it's fair still to 271 00:13:22,948 --> 00:13:26,308 Speaker 1: come on GMFB. If Aaron Rodgers lands this deal with 272 00:13:26,348 --> 00:13:30,108 Speaker 1: the Jets, where would he rank among the AFC's top quarterbacks. 273 00:13:30,108 --> 00:13:32,348 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you our answers later on. Plus we 274 00:13:32,348 --> 00:13:34,988 Speaker 1: find out on Tom Pellisero drives a fierro, he will 275 00:13:35,068 --> 00:13:37,588 Speaker 1: be raking that news. Tom. Let us know they're loading 276 00:13:37,668 --> 00:13:40,988 Speaker 1: up on stars. In Miami, Jalen rams is going there 277 00:13:41,148 --> 00:13:43,308 Speaker 1: are the Dolphins still any kind of underdogs in the 278 00:13:43,428 --> 00:13:45,268 Speaker 1: FC Easts or is that over with me? And if 279 00:13:45,268 --> 00:14:04,228 Speaker 1: they're not, who is? Jalen Ramsey has arrived in Miami. 280 00:14:04,388 --> 00:14:06,588 Speaker 1: Earlier this week. Ramsey was traded by the Rams to 281 00:14:06,668 --> 00:14:09,068 Speaker 1: the Dolphins in exchange for a third round pick and 282 00:14:09,188 --> 00:14:12,188 Speaker 1: tight end Hunter Long. Here is what Ramsey had to 283 00:14:12,228 --> 00:14:17,148 Speaker 1: say about joining the dolphins star studded defense. On paper, 284 00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:18,948 Speaker 1: you know, this is the best group that I've been 285 00:14:18,988 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: a part of. And I feel like I've been a 286 00:14:20,628 --> 00:14:22,948 Speaker 1: part of some good groups, you know, in Jacksonville and 287 00:14:22,988 --> 00:14:25,388 Speaker 1: also in LA But on paper, I feel like this 288 00:14:25,428 --> 00:14:27,468 Speaker 1: is the best one. We got to put the work in, 289 00:14:27,588 --> 00:14:29,828 Speaker 1: and I mean, we can speak it as much as 290 00:14:29,828 --> 00:14:31,268 Speaker 1: we want to, but we don't have to go out 291 00:14:31,308 --> 00:14:33,708 Speaker 1: there and prove it. And that's what we're planning to do. 292 00:14:34,028 --> 00:14:36,028 Speaker 1: But it's not just about us, you know, it's a 293 00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:38,108 Speaker 1: whole defense and the whole team. I think we can 294 00:14:38,148 --> 00:14:39,908 Speaker 1: do something special if we put that work in and 295 00:14:40,668 --> 00:14:42,788 Speaker 1: b as one. Okay, so here we go, Jason. We're 296 00:14:42,788 --> 00:14:44,708 Speaker 1: gonna start with you. Are you buying or selling that 297 00:14:44,748 --> 00:14:48,428 Speaker 1: the Dolphins now have the best secondary on paper? I 298 00:14:48,428 --> 00:14:50,148 Speaker 1: saw this yesterday and I was like, let me before 299 00:14:50,188 --> 00:14:52,748 Speaker 1: I just automatically say buying, let me put some thought 300 00:14:52,948 --> 00:14:55,268 Speaker 1: and to some of the better secondaries in the NFL, 301 00:14:55,308 --> 00:14:57,668 Speaker 1: and automatically I was like, all right, the Buffalo Bills, 302 00:14:57,668 --> 00:15:00,508 Speaker 1: they got Micah High coming back off Andrew they resigned 303 00:15:00,588 --> 00:15:04,388 Speaker 1: Jordan Preas White Kayer em I'm like, these guys are 304 00:15:04,508 --> 00:15:07,388 Speaker 1: pretty good as well. They lost their defensive coordinator and 305 00:15:07,548 --> 00:15:10,388 Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier, but then my guy Gilly Gilly going over 306 00:15:10,428 --> 00:15:13,468 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys Javon Digs on the other side, and 307 00:15:13,548 --> 00:15:15,948 Speaker 1: this team is special because when they have up front too, 308 00:15:16,268 --> 00:15:20,108 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons makes a huge difference in the secondary. But 309 00:15:20,148 --> 00:15:22,948 Speaker 1: I'm still gonna roll with the Miami Dolphins Jalen Ramsay 310 00:15:22,948 --> 00:15:25,348 Speaker 1: and Xavier Howard, and I think the X factor for 311 00:15:25,388 --> 00:15:29,028 Speaker 1: them is bringing over Vic Fangio as their defensive coordinator. 312 00:15:29,068 --> 00:15:30,948 Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to scheme things up and put 313 00:15:30,988 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 1: these guys into position, and then also had the safety role. 314 00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:36,108 Speaker 1: You have Javan Holland, a young stud who I think 315 00:15:36,108 --> 00:15:38,148 Speaker 1: will take the next step and become a Pro Bowl 316 00:15:38,428 --> 00:15:41,748 Speaker 1: All Pro player type next season. They've also got the 317 00:15:41,788 --> 00:15:44,108 Speaker 1: cator Cohu kid that they brought in as an undrafted 318 00:15:44,148 --> 00:15:46,628 Speaker 1: free agent who played well last year. And then they 319 00:15:46,708 --> 00:15:49,868 Speaker 1: just signed to Sean Elliott and Brandon Jones is coming 320 00:15:49,908 --> 00:15:53,428 Speaker 1: back off injury. So this Miami Dolphins second good is 321 00:15:53,588 --> 00:15:56,268 Speaker 1: really good. Now, Like Jalen Ramsey said, It's one thing 322 00:15:56,268 --> 00:15:58,308 Speaker 1: to be good on paper, it's another thing to go 323 00:15:58,308 --> 00:16:00,988 Speaker 1: out there and build that chemistry and execute each and 324 00:16:01,148 --> 00:16:03,908 Speaker 1: every week. But I'm excited. I'm fired up not only 325 00:16:03,948 --> 00:16:05,748 Speaker 1: to watch the play on Sundays, but I want to 326 00:16:05,748 --> 00:16:08,748 Speaker 1: hear how the practices are going with Tyreek Hill and 327 00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:11,428 Speaker 1: Jail Wall on the other side, competing against those two 328 00:16:11,468 --> 00:16:13,708 Speaker 1: guys at the cornerback spots. So I'm fired up to 329 00:16:13,748 --> 00:16:15,588 Speaker 1: see Miami Dolphins, and I don't know if fans are 330 00:16:15,588 --> 00:16:17,828 Speaker 1: fired up too. They're really good. The division is great. 331 00:16:17,868 --> 00:16:19,628 Speaker 1: I think you can make the argument that potentially the 332 00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:21,828 Speaker 1: best division in all of football. So we want to 333 00:16:21,868 --> 00:16:24,348 Speaker 1: ask you the Bills better than ever, the Jets on 334 00:16:24,428 --> 00:16:27,108 Speaker 1: the verge of Lady Aaron Rodgers. Then you've got the Dolphins. 335 00:16:27,108 --> 00:16:29,908 Speaker 1: Could the Dolphins, it's even fair to be considering them 336 00:16:30,148 --> 00:16:33,588 Speaker 1: underdogs in the AFC East and season James, It's weird. 337 00:16:33,708 --> 00:16:36,188 Speaker 1: Last night in my hotel room because I'm a Philadelphia 338 00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:38,508 Speaker 1: person in a sicko, I was once again watching the 339 00:16:38,628 --> 00:16:42,668 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey speech in the Mummer outfitause from years ago, 340 00:16:42,748 --> 00:16:45,588 Speaker 1: just because it just gets me going. It gets me 341 00:16:45,628 --> 00:16:47,428 Speaker 1: fired up. And what if you say there right, He says, 342 00:16:47,628 --> 00:16:52,788 Speaker 1: underdogs are hungry dogs. Hungry dogs run faster. Also, I'm 343 00:16:52,788 --> 00:16:55,028 Speaker 1: not sure if the Miami Dolphins can be any faster. 344 00:16:55,148 --> 00:16:57,268 Speaker 1: If they're the underdogs, are the fastest team in football. 345 00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,028 Speaker 1: But if I look at them as the underdogs, it's 346 00:16:59,068 --> 00:17:01,508 Speaker 1: not the case. I mean, let's go to the last 347 00:17:01,548 --> 00:17:03,828 Speaker 1: game of their season, which is where they go up 348 00:17:03,828 --> 00:17:06,908 Speaker 1: to Buffalo. They lose five of their last six, I believe, 349 00:17:07,428 --> 00:17:10,588 Speaker 1: and they have their third string quarterback in Skyler Thompson 350 00:17:10,588 --> 00:17:13,428 Speaker 1: in there, and they lose thirty four thirty one. I'm 351 00:17:13,468 --> 00:17:15,468 Speaker 1: not even sure how many guys boarded the plane. There 352 00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:18,148 Speaker 1: was empty seats all over the place on their way 353 00:17:18,148 --> 00:17:20,788 Speaker 1: to Buffalo. Second half sat up they were it did. 354 00:17:20,868 --> 00:17:23,628 Speaker 1: But then and to Mills one in this game, some 355 00:17:23,708 --> 00:17:26,868 Speaker 1: of the mistakes that Josh that said Josh McDaniel, that 356 00:17:27,028 --> 00:17:31,908 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel made in terms of coaching time management, do 357 00:17:31,948 --> 00:17:34,428 Speaker 1: you think he does those again in his second year 358 00:17:34,588 --> 00:17:36,788 Speaker 1: as a head coach, as smart as he is. And 359 00:17:36,828 --> 00:17:40,148 Speaker 1: then I love what Jason brought up. One team loses 360 00:17:40,148 --> 00:17:42,748 Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator and Leslie Fraser the other one games. 361 00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:44,428 Speaker 1: But a lot of people believe is one of the best, 362 00:17:44,428 --> 00:17:47,108 Speaker 1: if not the best, defensive coordinators in all of football. 363 00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,068 Speaker 1: And Bradley Chubb knows that system. You have him for 364 00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:51,668 Speaker 1: a full year now, and you add Jalen Ramsey as 365 00:17:51,668 --> 00:17:53,308 Speaker 1: a piece that you can move around. They bring in 366 00:17:53,348 --> 00:17:56,228 Speaker 1: their entire backfield back as well. Did the Bills get 367 00:17:56,268 --> 00:17:59,748 Speaker 1: any better with what they've added? I hope Von Miller's 368 00:17:59,868 --> 00:18:02,028 Speaker 1: to the guy we all hope he can be because 369 00:18:02,068 --> 00:18:04,748 Speaker 1: that's a blast to watch. But the Dolphins got better. 370 00:18:05,148 --> 00:18:06,548 Speaker 1: And if that's the way the game ended with a 371 00:18:06,588 --> 00:18:10,428 Speaker 1: third string quarterback, if Ta stays healthy, underdog in the least. Yeah, 372 00:18:10,468 --> 00:18:12,588 Speaker 1: what you just finished with. If Ta stays healthy, there's 373 00:18:12,668 --> 00:18:14,988 Speaker 1: no way we're talking about them as underdogs. He was 374 00:18:15,068 --> 00:18:17,548 Speaker 1: balling last year before going down with injuries. We're talking 375 00:18:17,588 --> 00:18:20,668 Speaker 1: about underdogs in this division. With them adding Aaron Rodgers 376 00:18:20,748 --> 00:18:22,628 Speaker 1: to the New York Jets, it has to be the 377 00:18:22,708 --> 00:18:25,268 Speaker 1: New England Patriots. They would be the team that for 378 00:18:25,348 --> 00:18:27,868 Speaker 1: so long, was the past twenty years, they've been a 379 00:18:27,948 --> 00:18:30,508 Speaker 1: top of this division. And how you look at them 380 00:18:30,588 --> 00:18:32,788 Speaker 1: last year they just missed the playoffs, lost that game 381 00:18:32,988 --> 00:18:35,508 Speaker 1: to Buffalo at the end. But the Patriots, you look 382 00:18:35,508 --> 00:18:38,348 Speaker 1: at their off seasons so far, yes, they resigned Jonathan Jones, 383 00:18:38,348 --> 00:18:40,908 Speaker 1: they brought back Jabrill Peppers, They've signed a pair of 384 00:18:40,908 --> 00:18:44,588 Speaker 1: offensive tackles. John new Smith has gone. Devil mccordy retired. 385 00:18:44,788 --> 00:18:47,028 Speaker 1: There's not a move where you're just like, oh, I 386 00:18:47,068 --> 00:18:49,108 Speaker 1: can see it. I can see where the Patriots are 387 00:18:49,108 --> 00:18:51,348 Speaker 1: gonna take a step and why I'm gonna elevate them 388 00:18:51,628 --> 00:18:54,588 Speaker 1: above any of the other three teams in the division. 389 00:18:54,788 --> 00:18:56,868 Speaker 1: There are a lot of question marks going on with 390 00:18:56,988 --> 00:18:59,468 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and where they're gonna fit in 391 00:18:59,508 --> 00:19:01,948 Speaker 1: this division. So if I'm picking one of these four 392 00:19:01,948 --> 00:19:04,868 Speaker 1: teams and be the underdogs on one hundred, put it 393 00:19:04,908 --> 00:19:07,308 Speaker 1: on the New England Patriots. The draft Kings odds are 394 00:19:07,388 --> 00:19:09,668 Speaker 1: plus eight hundred. I think for the Patriots to win 395 00:19:09,668 --> 00:19:12,508 Speaker 1: the division next year, it's by far the underdog in 396 00:19:12,508 --> 00:19:14,428 Speaker 1: that regard. You know we're gonna get to this point. 397 00:19:14,468 --> 00:19:16,508 Speaker 1: I don't think it's Miami at all. They're Ritzy, they're 398 00:19:16,548 --> 00:19:18,908 Speaker 1: South Beach, they were in the playoff, they got better. 399 00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:21,228 Speaker 1: We talked about Jets at nauseum. If you talk about 400 00:19:21,268 --> 00:19:23,708 Speaker 1: this long enough in the storylines and Jim James starting 401 00:19:23,748 --> 00:19:25,188 Speaker 1: to get into it, like I can go by Jim 402 00:19:25,268 --> 00:19:27,188 Speaker 1: Jimbo is starting to get into it. It's almost like 403 00:19:27,268 --> 00:19:29,988 Speaker 1: Buffalo is going to become the underdog, just in terms 404 00:19:30,028 --> 00:19:32,828 Speaker 1: of the hype. And it is because last year, last 405 00:19:32,828 --> 00:19:34,788 Speaker 1: off season, we hype them NonStop and then they were 406 00:19:34,828 --> 00:19:36,468 Speaker 1: the baddest boys in the block last year and now 407 00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:39,108 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know, they didn't add the flashy piece. 408 00:19:39,268 --> 00:19:42,388 Speaker 1: The Jets did, the Dolphins did, the Patriots? Who knows? 409 00:19:42,468 --> 00:19:44,508 Speaker 1: Like they're gonna have some of that going where no 410 00:19:44,508 --> 00:19:47,148 Speaker 1: one believes us anymore. In the window is closing. I 411 00:19:47,188 --> 00:19:49,468 Speaker 1: would just say this about Miami, and I hate this 412 00:19:49,508 --> 00:19:52,188 Speaker 1: topic in the sense that it's so unsavory. The Tua 413 00:19:52,308 --> 00:19:55,628 Speaker 1: thing is everything you could put together the greatest band 414 00:19:55,668 --> 00:19:57,948 Speaker 1: of all time, and they have. If there is no 415 00:19:58,068 --> 00:20:00,828 Speaker 1: lead singer out there, we got nothing. We got instrumental tracks, 416 00:20:00,828 --> 00:20:03,588 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna work if we have fish. I'm 417 00:20:03,628 --> 00:20:05,628 Speaker 1: not a fish guy. I understand they play in the 418 00:20:05,668 --> 00:20:07,748 Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden and blah blah blah. I know a 419 00:20:07,788 --> 00:20:11,148 Speaker 1: lot of fish friends. Not my thing. They're dolphins. They're 420 00:20:11,148 --> 00:20:13,348 Speaker 1: not fish technically, they're mammals, right, Isn't that the thing 421 00:20:13,428 --> 00:20:15,548 Speaker 1: that's true? If Tuah has an issue and he has 422 00:20:15,548 --> 00:20:17,068 Speaker 1: a health issue, and we all know it and we 423 00:20:17,108 --> 00:20:19,348 Speaker 1: hate it, but they said we're gonna try and make 424 00:20:19,388 --> 00:20:21,908 Speaker 1: it work. We had the report that Tua is taking 425 00:20:22,068 --> 00:20:24,548 Speaker 1: jiu jitsu classes in the off season and learning how 426 00:20:24,588 --> 00:20:28,188 Speaker 1: to fall to protect himself, which sounds really smart, but 427 00:20:28,268 --> 00:20:29,988 Speaker 1: it doesn't make me comfortable if a guy has to 428 00:20:30,028 --> 00:20:32,108 Speaker 1: learn how to fall to save the season. I don't 429 00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:34,508 Speaker 1: care who you put out there. It's they got nothing 430 00:20:34,508 --> 00:20:37,228 Speaker 1: without two. They just don't. So there's a huge vulnerability 431 00:20:37,268 --> 00:20:40,588 Speaker 1: with them. But underdogs, and hellmo, there's one underdog in 432 00:20:40,588 --> 00:20:42,308 Speaker 1: the division. It's the Patriots. There's one because of the 433 00:20:42,388 --> 00:20:44,508 Speaker 1: other three. And you referenced the odds. I mean they're 434 00:20:44,548 --> 00:20:46,308 Speaker 1: pretty close. I mean Bills are first, but if you 435 00:20:46,348 --> 00:20:48,268 Speaker 1: look at those odds, there's because there's a pack of 436 00:20:48,308 --> 00:20:49,828 Speaker 1: three at the top. I do't want to go back 437 00:20:49,828 --> 00:20:51,348 Speaker 1: to what you said, James, and you're talking about that 438 00:20:51,388 --> 00:20:54,228 Speaker 1: playoff game where they lost that by three points. All 439 00:20:54,228 --> 00:20:56,788 Speaker 1: three of the contests a year ago with the Bills 440 00:20:56,788 --> 00:20:59,028 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins were decided by three points or less, 441 00:20:59,228 --> 00:21:01,988 Speaker 1: one of those in which the Dolphins won, the other 442 00:21:01,988 --> 00:21:04,828 Speaker 1: one the game before the playoff game. I remember being 443 00:21:04,908 --> 00:21:06,948 Speaker 1: here and we hyped that game up. It was like late. 444 00:21:07,948 --> 00:21:09,748 Speaker 1: We hyped it up like crazy, and we said the 445 00:21:09,788 --> 00:21:11,588 Speaker 1: weather was going to be nuts, there's no way the 446 00:21:11,628 --> 00:21:13,628 Speaker 1: Dolphins could keep up with them. And then what happened. 447 00:21:13,628 --> 00:21:15,068 Speaker 1: The Dolphins gave him a game. I mean, they gave 448 00:21:15,108 --> 00:21:17,268 Speaker 1: him a game every single time, and they won one 449 00:21:17,308 --> 00:21:18,708 Speaker 1: of them and they could have won the other two. 450 00:21:18,908 --> 00:21:21,148 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's fair to unseat the Bills, 451 00:21:21,188 --> 00:21:23,388 Speaker 1: although I do think that when you kind of talk 452 00:21:23,468 --> 00:21:25,508 Speaker 1: these same storylines, you just have to change it, and 453 00:21:25,588 --> 00:21:28,348 Speaker 1: we just by nature go, well, this isn't cool anymore. 454 00:21:28,348 --> 00:21:29,708 Speaker 1: I feel like people did that to the Chiefs a 455 00:21:29,748 --> 00:21:31,788 Speaker 1: little bit, and then they know the Chiefs sort of 456 00:21:31,788 --> 00:21:34,828 Speaker 1: fell off the map and being the like obvious cool choice, 457 00:21:35,068 --> 00:21:37,028 Speaker 1: and then what happened. The Chiefs were hoisted the Super 458 00:21:37,068 --> 00:21:39,108 Speaker 1: Bowl at the end of the season. But look, were 459 00:21:39,148 --> 00:21:41,268 Speaker 1: we talking about them? No, we're not talking about them 460 00:21:41,348 --> 00:21:43,228 Speaker 1: right now because they're just off there a little bit 461 00:21:43,308 --> 00:21:45,708 Speaker 1: under the radar doing their thing. And then Patrick Mahomes 462 00:21:45,748 --> 00:21:47,548 Speaker 1: will do what he is all right, coming up, if 463 00:21:47,668 --> 00:21:50,908 Speaker 1: Rogers moved to New York, who is the new king 464 00:21:51,308 --> 00:21:53,788 Speaker 1: of the NFC North. We're going to break it down 465 00:21:53,868 --> 00:21:56,388 Speaker 1: later on Riders might be one of those guys who 466 00:21:56,468 --> 00:21:58,948 Speaker 1: just says to live in Manhattan. Wouldn't that be strange? Yeah, 467 00:21:59,468 --> 00:22:01,388 Speaker 1: I know Brandon marsh used to live in Manhattan. He 468 00:22:01,428 --> 00:22:18,228 Speaker 1: was on the Jets. Roger, I can see it. You're 469 00:22:18,268 --> 00:22:20,508 Speaker 1: going to keep the top five theme going and make 470 00:22:20,508 --> 00:22:23,028 Speaker 1: our list for which quarterbacks we think should be in 471 00:22:23,068 --> 00:22:26,268 Speaker 1: the top five in the AFC. Quick disclaimer, we made 472 00:22:26,308 --> 00:22:29,228 Speaker 1: these lists with the assumption that Aaron Rodgers is joining 473 00:22:29,228 --> 00:22:31,708 Speaker 1: the Jack's in. We feel like that's a safe assumption, 474 00:22:31,828 --> 00:22:33,788 Speaker 1: so keep that in mind. Jason, why don't you start 475 00:22:33,868 --> 00:22:38,148 Speaker 1: us off? Yeah, this is always fun at one. I'm 476 00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:40,508 Speaker 1: going one through five because I feel like number one 477 00:22:40,628 --> 00:22:42,908 Speaker 1: is obvious after what he did last season, and that 478 00:22:43,308 --> 00:22:45,348 Speaker 1: last season well, I'm just saying there was a lot 479 00:22:45,428 --> 00:22:47,588 Speaker 1: of talk last season Tyree Hill was going to be 480 00:22:47,628 --> 00:22:51,508 Speaker 1: gone blah blah blah. And in this conference, Mahomes, there's 481 00:22:51,508 --> 00:22:53,428 Speaker 1: a lot of young quarterbacks. We have the Burrows of 482 00:22:53,508 --> 00:22:56,148 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's that we want to compare. Speaking of those two, 483 00:22:56,268 --> 00:22:59,908 Speaker 1: number two, for me, I am going with Joe Burrow 484 00:23:00,268 --> 00:23:03,428 Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Bengals. I think he obviously performed really 485 00:23:03,428 --> 00:23:05,788 Speaker 1: well after a slow start, last season. But that was 486 00:23:05,788 --> 00:23:07,668 Speaker 1: the question mark was how do you do Burrow and 487 00:23:07,788 --> 00:23:11,148 Speaker 1: Josh Allen Alan number three down there and up there 488 00:23:11,148 --> 00:23:13,668 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, And I'd say, I think those are the 489 00:23:13,748 --> 00:23:17,788 Speaker 1: three that I think. Now it gets interested. Yes, it's 490 00:23:17,828 --> 00:23:19,628 Speaker 1: just a matter of where do you put two and three? 491 00:23:19,868 --> 00:23:22,108 Speaker 1: Do you put Josh Allen above Bow below? How you 492 00:23:22,148 --> 00:23:26,908 Speaker 1: do number four? I'm going with Lamar Jackson number four, 493 00:23:27,028 --> 00:23:29,828 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I think he has a really good year. 494 00:23:29,868 --> 00:23:32,188 Speaker 1: He stays healthy this year, and I think he gets 495 00:23:32,188 --> 00:23:34,988 Speaker 1: it done. And then number five Aaron Rodgers, welcome to 496 00:23:35,028 --> 00:23:38,868 Speaker 1: the AFC. And I know the Justin Herberts that Trevor Lawrences. 497 00:23:38,988 --> 00:23:42,548 Speaker 1: I went with the proven commodity Aaron Rodgers as rounding 498 00:23:42,548 --> 00:23:45,428 Speaker 1: out my top five. There it is screen graph take 499 00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:48,108 Speaker 1: it nice, clean one good, nailed it, good list. I 500 00:23:48,148 --> 00:23:53,228 Speaker 1: like your penmanship, Palmer, thank you? Okay? Number one Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, 501 00:23:53,468 --> 00:23:55,748 Speaker 1: we're gonna but real quick. I gotta say this. I 502 00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:58,508 Speaker 1: was on the phone with a quarterback coach in the 503 00:23:58,548 --> 00:24:01,468 Speaker 1: league last night who told me I just feel so 504 00:24:01,548 --> 00:24:04,148 Speaker 1: bad for anybody like Mike Kafka or Eric Bienemy who 505 00:24:04,228 --> 00:24:07,028 Speaker 1: go and runs another offense and realizes they have to 506 00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:09,268 Speaker 1: talk to their entire team and their quarterback and say 507 00:24:09,388 --> 00:24:12,068 Speaker 1: everything that I used to do, I have to throw 508 00:24:12,148 --> 00:24:14,668 Speaker 1: out the window because all of the quarterback rules you 509 00:24:14,668 --> 00:24:16,548 Speaker 1: throw out the window. With Patrick Mahomes. It's just a 510 00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:18,708 Speaker 1: difficult life. They were telling me. When you move on 511 00:24:18,748 --> 00:24:20,668 Speaker 1: from him on how you run your own offense. I'm 512 00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:23,188 Speaker 1: going Joe Burrow number two. And I'm doing this because 513 00:24:23,188 --> 00:24:27,108 Speaker 1: of the mental aspect of Joe Burrow, the processing capacity 514 00:24:27,188 --> 00:24:30,908 Speaker 1: maybe the best processor of information in football. About week 515 00:24:30,988 --> 00:24:34,628 Speaker 1: five or week six is when Brian Callahan and Dan Pitcher, 516 00:24:34,628 --> 00:24:37,868 Speaker 1: they're OC and quarterback coach, decided to put more on 517 00:24:37,948 --> 00:24:39,708 Speaker 1: Burrow at the line of scrimmage, kind of let him go. 518 00:24:39,988 --> 00:24:41,708 Speaker 1: What did you see happen the rest of the season, 519 00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:44,148 Speaker 1: Just what he saw, what he called, and you saw 520 00:24:44,188 --> 00:24:47,028 Speaker 1: them thrive. His mind is unbelievable. This guy's arm is 521 00:24:47,068 --> 00:24:49,148 Speaker 1: out of this world. I'm going Josh Allen at number 522 00:24:49,148 --> 00:24:52,268 Speaker 1: three because what he can do is unbelievably special. Obviously 523 00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:55,028 Speaker 1: physically on the field, can make any throw that maybe 524 00:24:55,028 --> 00:24:57,708 Speaker 1: we've really never seen before, or maybe number one can 525 00:24:57,748 --> 00:24:59,268 Speaker 1: do as well. But at the same time, we'll put 526 00:24:59,348 --> 00:25:02,708 Speaker 1: him three. I'm going Trevor Lawrence number four. Trevor Lawrence 527 00:25:02,828 --> 00:25:05,188 Speaker 1: number four. Guys, I'm on the band wagon. Bring me 528 00:25:05,228 --> 00:25:07,428 Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. That's might be where Sarah's going to be 529 00:25:07,428 --> 00:25:09,428 Speaker 1: spending most of her time this season, because listen, I 530 00:25:09,468 --> 00:25:11,988 Speaker 1: talked to Doug Peterson this offseason and he said, away 531 00:25:12,148 --> 00:25:14,308 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was playing at the end of the year. 532 00:25:14,428 --> 00:25:15,748 Speaker 1: It's kind of how we thought he was going to 533 00:25:15,788 --> 00:25:18,828 Speaker 1: be playing beginning middle of this coming season. He picked 534 00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:20,948 Speaker 1: it up so quickly, and you look at the weapons 535 00:25:20,948 --> 00:25:23,468 Speaker 1: he has. He has the ability to process all of it, 536 00:25:23,508 --> 00:25:26,748 Speaker 1: but also the ability physically to do everything on that field. 537 00:25:26,788 --> 00:25:29,668 Speaker 1: We forget that this was the best prospect since Andrew Luck. 538 00:25:29,748 --> 00:25:31,628 Speaker 1: We were all told, this guy is gonna make him monster. 539 00:25:31,668 --> 00:25:34,828 Speaker 1: Let me jump in under its context yesterday James Head 540 00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:37,508 Speaker 1: justin fields at number two. Your philosophy with these is 541 00:25:37,508 --> 00:25:40,108 Speaker 1: a lot moving forward, very much. So it's not this minute. 542 00:25:40,108 --> 00:25:41,948 Speaker 1: It's like where they're headed. So I think that probably 543 00:25:41,948 --> 00:25:44,148 Speaker 1: plays into Lawrence, right, it does. It plays into Lawrence 544 00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:46,668 Speaker 1: a lot because that was also year one with Doug Peterson. 545 00:25:46,748 --> 00:25:48,468 Speaker 1: What did we see him in the second half the year? 546 00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:49,828 Speaker 1: Here two, what's it gonna be like? Here we go, 547 00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:51,708 Speaker 1: and then if I'm going backwards, I guess because I'm 548 00:25:51,708 --> 00:25:54,508 Speaker 1: gonna go Rogers says number five. I will say this. 549 00:25:54,668 --> 00:25:56,708 Speaker 1: I love the team that's around him. I know that 550 00:25:56,748 --> 00:25:59,548 Speaker 1: he's been in the same place for eighteen years. Having 551 00:25:59,628 --> 00:26:03,308 Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett be there for him as the offensive coordinator 552 00:26:03,308 --> 00:26:05,988 Speaker 1: in Alan Lazard, I think makes it a much smoother 553 00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:09,668 Speaker 1: transition for him to be successful right away. I struggled 554 00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:13,068 Speaker 1: with five. Though I struggled. It's a hard spot. Yeah, 555 00:26:13,468 --> 00:26:16,228 Speaker 1: Wall okay. I wrote these in the reverse order because 556 00:26:16,228 --> 00:26:18,588 Speaker 1: we went reverse yesterday. One Mahomes. I almost think we're 557 00:26:18,628 --> 00:26:21,548 Speaker 1: getting numb to just how insanely good he is, right Like, 558 00:26:21,588 --> 00:26:24,228 Speaker 1: I mean, we just I don't feel like we Is 559 00:26:24,268 --> 00:26:25,668 Speaker 1: it fair to say we don't give him enough to do? 560 00:26:25,788 --> 00:26:27,868 Speaker 1: Because we do, But it's just like the debate is 561 00:26:27,908 --> 00:26:29,828 Speaker 1: always somewhere else because we just get it. He's one, okay, 562 00:26:30,028 --> 00:26:32,668 Speaker 1: Alan too, and Alan and I'll even go Alan two 563 00:26:32,708 --> 00:26:35,548 Speaker 1: and three these it's a tie. I almost went burrow 564 00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:37,908 Speaker 1: just on the outfits he wears walking into the Komadium. 565 00:26:37,948 --> 00:26:39,108 Speaker 1: I was like, is that gonna You know, It's like 566 00:26:39,108 --> 00:26:40,708 Speaker 1: when you're picking a bracket and you're like I like 567 00:26:40,748 --> 00:26:43,388 Speaker 1: this mascot better like I kind of love his outfits. 568 00:26:43,548 --> 00:26:45,988 Speaker 1: But anyway that could go either way. I'm going Rogers four. 569 00:26:47,228 --> 00:26:49,188 Speaker 1: The MVPs get him in there. He's four. And then 570 00:26:49,508 --> 00:26:51,788 Speaker 1: much like James, do you want a quarterback that was 571 00:26:51,828 --> 00:26:55,108 Speaker 1: top five last year in completion percentage, in touchdowns, in 572 00:26:55,788 --> 00:26:57,308 Speaker 1: a lot of categories. I could you in the top 573 00:26:57,308 --> 00:26:59,268 Speaker 1: five your top five, and I would go Trevor and 574 00:27:01,268 --> 00:27:04,628 Speaker 1: I love Doug Peterson, I love Trevor Lawrence. I think 575 00:27:04,668 --> 00:27:07,348 Speaker 1: this is a team on the probably and then you 576 00:27:07,348 --> 00:27:09,188 Speaker 1: look at that look at that division two. I mean, 577 00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:10,868 Speaker 1: like the Cults, we don't know what they're doing. The 578 00:27:10,948 --> 00:27:13,628 Speaker 1: Titans are certainly seems like going to the other direction, 579 00:27:13,628 --> 00:27:15,428 Speaker 1: but they've sort of owned that division for a while. 580 00:27:15,468 --> 00:27:17,068 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the Jags thing right now. Trevor 581 00:27:17,108 --> 00:27:18,588 Speaker 1: Lawrence was really bad on the first half of the 582 00:27:18,628 --> 00:27:20,988 Speaker 1: playoff game, and then he flipped the switch, and now 583 00:27:21,028 --> 00:27:23,268 Speaker 1: it's like, we're so excited about Jacksonville. You give us 584 00:27:23,268 --> 00:27:24,988 Speaker 1: that good half at the end. They hung around with 585 00:27:25,068 --> 00:27:27,268 Speaker 1: Kansas City two. All right, I have Mahomes number one, 586 00:27:27,308 --> 00:27:30,548 Speaker 1: self explanatory. I have Alan two. I kind of dealt 587 00:27:30,588 --> 00:27:32,508 Speaker 1: with the same thing. You guys have. The running ability 588 00:27:32,548 --> 00:27:34,788 Speaker 1: is still so ridiculous. I still think the ceiling is 589 00:27:34,828 --> 00:27:37,188 Speaker 1: so ridiculous. I don't think get his best statistical year 590 00:27:37,268 --> 00:27:40,548 Speaker 1: last year, but I think he terrifies defense and defensive coordinators. 591 00:27:40,668 --> 00:27:44,068 Speaker 1: I have Rogers, three Rogers. This is a little bit 592 00:27:44,068 --> 00:27:46,308 Speaker 1: of an investment moving forward too. I know the stock 593 00:27:46,388 --> 00:27:48,628 Speaker 1: is a little down. I've said it a thousand times 594 00:27:48,628 --> 00:27:50,428 Speaker 1: on the show. It is the best I have ever 595 00:27:50,468 --> 00:27:53,308 Speaker 1: seen played the position. He is not forty four years old, 596 00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:54,868 Speaker 1: he is still in his thirties. I think he's gonna 597 00:27:54,868 --> 00:27:56,388 Speaker 1: be a maniac this year. I believe in him. With 598 00:27:56,428 --> 00:27:58,788 Speaker 1: the Jets four, I have Joe Burrow, which is fantastic. 599 00:27:58,828 --> 00:28:00,788 Speaker 1: He's gonna have a spot somewhere. We can debate which one. 600 00:28:00,868 --> 00:28:02,548 Speaker 1: And I have a name that no one has put 601 00:28:02,628 --> 00:28:07,228 Speaker 1: on the list. Oh Herber, Justin Ursin. Herbert's so Justin Herbert. 602 00:28:07,228 --> 00:28:09,228 Speaker 1: I understand the last sipe. The time we saw the Chargers, 603 00:28:09,268 --> 00:28:10,468 Speaker 1: they were having one of the biggest jokes in the 604 00:28:10,548 --> 00:28:13,068 Speaker 1: playoff history. Fine, I still believe him. I still would 605 00:28:13,068 --> 00:28:14,588 Speaker 1: sign up with them this year. I think he's incredible. 606 00:28:14,588 --> 00:28:16,268 Speaker 1: I think he's locked in. I love his talent, I 607 00:28:16,308 --> 00:28:18,308 Speaker 1: love the production. He got the Chargers to the playoffs 608 00:28:18,308 --> 00:28:19,988 Speaker 1: they usually don't. There's a lot of different ways we 609 00:28:19,988 --> 00:28:22,948 Speaker 1: can go. I saw Herbert on Nobody's list. How many 610 00:28:22,988 --> 00:28:25,748 Speaker 1: people were the only one with Lamar Jackson, only player 611 00:28:25,748 --> 00:28:28,268 Speaker 1: with the lar Jackson started the season off last year. 612 00:28:28,268 --> 00:28:32,068 Speaker 1: I mean he was amazing getting at MVP conversations with 613 00:28:32,268 --> 00:28:34,388 Speaker 1: him and Jalen Hurts, and I know obviously ended the 614 00:28:34,468 --> 00:28:38,308 Speaker 1: season banged up. There's all the contract stuff. But Lamar Jackson, 615 00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:40,748 Speaker 1: he's exciting to watch. We all know that. But he 616 00:28:40,788 --> 00:28:42,708 Speaker 1: can I think he'll be back in the top next year. 617 00:28:42,748 --> 00:28:44,508 Speaker 1: I feel like we had a bit of recency biased 618 00:28:44,508 --> 00:28:47,548 Speaker 1: here from all of us. The way Kyle mentioned the 619 00:28:47,588 --> 00:28:50,868 Speaker 1: way things ended for Justin Herbert maybe impacted us the 620 00:28:50,868 --> 00:28:53,028 Speaker 1: way they ended for Trevor Lawrence. If there's not a 621 00:28:53,068 --> 00:28:55,588 Speaker 1: bad drop and a fumble inside the ten, they beat 622 00:28:55,628 --> 00:28:58,388 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Honestly true, they lost by seven and both 623 00:28:58,388 --> 00:29:01,988 Speaker 1: those things happened. I think maybe recency bias plays plays 624 00:29:01,988 --> 00:29:04,028 Speaker 1: a factor. A couple of names, a couple of names 625 00:29:04,028 --> 00:29:06,788 Speaker 1: that year from now could make this look bad. Deshaun 626 00:29:06,828 --> 00:29:09,108 Speaker 1: Watson going with this year too, with Cleveland Browns and 627 00:29:09,108 --> 00:29:11,348 Speaker 1: having a real season. We think did you think for 628 00:29:11,388 --> 00:29:14,668 Speaker 1: a second, JP, did you even consider maybe at the 629 00:29:14,708 --> 00:29:17,028 Speaker 1: five SpotCo in Russell Wilson as an investment in the 630 00:29:17,068 --> 00:29:18,628 Speaker 1: future and what could happen with Sean Payne? Did you 631 00:29:18,668 --> 00:29:20,948 Speaker 1: even think about it? It crossed my mind? Did it? 632 00:29:20,948 --> 00:29:23,108 Speaker 1: It did cross my mind. I've heard some I didn't 633 00:29:23,148 --> 00:29:24,548 Speaker 1: think about it. None of the three of us did. 634 00:29:24,828 --> 00:29:26,268 Speaker 1: What are you what do you hear? What rooms are 635 00:29:26,268 --> 00:29:28,948 Speaker 1: here in Denver? She just wants to stay home. It's exciting. 636 00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:32,148 Speaker 1: It's just wishful thinking. Yeah, that's really what it is. No, 637 00:29:32,428 --> 00:29:35,468 Speaker 1: there's there's some like there's some Sean Payton for real 638 00:29:35,548 --> 00:29:38,468 Speaker 1: buzz about and it's not from Denver, it's from around 639 00:29:38,468 --> 00:29:40,988 Speaker 1: the league. Just if anybody can do this, it's him. 640 00:29:41,068 --> 00:29:43,908 Speaker 1: And I think him not saying anything about what he 641 00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:46,108 Speaker 1: wants to do with Russ is kind of telling and 642 00:29:46,228 --> 00:29:48,068 Speaker 1: kind of cool because he's playing it really close to 643 00:29:48,108 --> 00:29:49,828 Speaker 1: the best about what he wants to do with him. 644 00:29:49,868 --> 00:29:52,108 Speaker 1: I love it. All. Right, here's look at our lists. 645 00:29:52,308 --> 00:29:54,108 Speaker 1: We're going to be back after that. You can debate, 646 00:29:54,188 --> 00:29:58,068 Speaker 1: you can yell at us, you can agree disagree five 647 00:29:58,188 --> 00:30:02,828 Speaker 1: I'm killian where Rodgers five, five, four and three just 648 00:30:02,908 --> 00:30:04,628 Speaker 1: kind of right in the meat of the sandwich. Barely 649 00:30:04,628 --> 00:30:06,308 Speaker 1: made the list in a couple of cases. Fascinating you 650 00:30:06,348 --> 00:30:09,348 Speaker 1: guys looking forward. This is always fun. Next, we're gonna 651 00:30:09,348 --> 00:30:12,428 Speaker 1: do NFC Special Teams tomorrow. It's gonna be great. We're 652 00:30:12,428 --> 00:30:13,228 Speaker 1: coming on Saturday and do it.
