There's 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: no other way to describe there's no other way to 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: think about it. 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: We continue to be the most literate sports betting podcast 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: in America. Seth, Simon and I have been discussing all 21 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: things NFL Draft, and we will continue doing that today 22 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: with you your book from the fall. American Kings is 23 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: a primer for anybody who wants to understand not just 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: what makes a quarterback a quarterback, but how quarterback became 25 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: sort of the cultural touchstone that it is today, truly 26 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: royalty in the United States, tracing back the history all 27 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: the way to today. Quarterback will continue to be the 28 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: most important position in all of sports as long as 29 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: the NFL is in existence. And so for people who 30 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: might have missed that show and still have a chance 31 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: to go by the book explain to people just how 32 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: important the quarterback position is and how it evolved into 33 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: what it is today. So we can frame a little 34 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: bit about why Fernando Mendoza going number one is more 35 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: than just a guy who could save the Raiders. 36 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 37 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: Well, that book was so much more work than the 38 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: collection that I have coming beyond that Hill. I feel 39 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: like I should have just titled that one cashing in twice. 40 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the quarterback position, as you know, 41 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: it's fascinated me. You know, really going back to when 42 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: I was in high school and you know, you and 43 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: I would throw footballs in the ESPN magazine offices in 44 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: New York, you know, in between meetings, and you know, 45 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: even then, it was important for us to each throw 46 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 2: a good spiral. And it's just such a unique job 47 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: across sports, and not just in America but globally. Like 48 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: I during the course of the book, I was sitting 49 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: with the Hall of Famer Steve Young, and I asked him, like, 50 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: what are all the hats you have to wear as 51 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: the starting quarterback for an NFL team? And he just 52 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 2: started rattling them off, from field general to madne idol, 53 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: to amateur psychologists, to chief cheer leader, breathtaking asshole, spokesperson 54 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: for a multi billion dollar organization, all of these things. 55 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: And I think he got to seventeen hats total, and 56 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: none of them were. Oh, by the way, throw the 57 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: ball through windows that nobody else can see, much less 58 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: take advantage of while people are diving at your knees. 59 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: And so. 60 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: How quarterback became so celebrated and achieved such a lofty 61 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: status in our culture, I thought was fascinating. And then 62 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: there's also just the nuts and bolts of what does 63 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: it like to do it, what does it build within you, 64 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: what does it destroy? And what are the people who 65 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: do it at the highest level have to contend with 66 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: for the rest of their life Because it assumes such 67 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: a big part of your persona and your identity. And 68 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: so those are the things that I was getting at. 69 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 2: And as I look at the quarterbacks that are entering 70 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: this year's draft, I see a bunch of guys who, 71 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: I think, in different ways, have all embodied all of 72 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: those characteristics and worn all of those hats in different 73 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: ways than I think for a lot of drafts. Like 74 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: I think that usually for a lot of drafts you 75 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: have guys who kind of come onto the scene and 76 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: Jane Daniels, for instance, you know what I mean, Like, 77 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: you know, like takes over the season like a rocket 78 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: win Seisman Trophy, and you know, it's really kind of 79 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: a really breathtakingly fast acclamation. I think that with Mendoza 80 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: it's similar in a lot of ways, but unique for 81 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: him because of the path that he took there. And 82 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 2: so I think that, like of all the quarterbacks drafts 83 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: that we've had for a while, I think that the 84 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: top three names that we talk about for this year 85 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: are kind of uniquely equipped to be successful in ways. 86 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: And I'm not sure we could say that for other classes. 87 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Give me a little bit of background here, just Mendoza, Like, 88 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: what is it that you see in the intangibles of 89 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: that bucket list of seventeen things, that list of seventeen 90 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: things that Steve Young is talking about. What is it 91 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: that gets GMS most excited about Mendoza? 92 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: Well, really, all he has to get is one GM excited. Yeah, right, 93 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: and I think that guy's pretty excit. I think the 94 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: thing that's most interesting to me about Mendoza is, I 95 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: think from a basic standpoint, I love how I love 96 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: his size. Like, first of all, I think that like 97 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 2: the size factor in the fact that he's a legit six' 98 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: four is a big differentiator for him and a lot of, 99 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: guys the top guys in this year's. DRAFT i love 100 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: that when he's, throwing if you look at some of 101 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: his best, throws he's throwing with a lot of, anticipation 102 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: AND i think, that like that's kind of one of 103 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: those skill sets he is soon to. 104 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: Be. 105 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: Boss Tom brady once we were talking about accuracy and 106 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: he AND i he, said you, know the most overlooked 107 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: aspect of accuracy is. Decisiveness AND i thought that was 108 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: a fascinating. Answer but basically he's, saying, like you, know 109 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: if you it's like that top gun, line if you 110 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: think you're. Dead AND i think that you can See 111 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 2: mendoza getting the ball out with anticipation and so you 112 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: can see that he's being decisive and playing with a 113 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: lot of. Confidence and THEN i think the final thing 114 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: is just that like his football career wasn't supposed to 115 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: go this way and easily could have, ended you know 116 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: WHAT i, Mean he's taken an atypical. Path AND i 117 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: think that WHEN i look At mendoza going to The 118 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: raiders of all teams and Having Tom brady on, board 119 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 2: so much of What Tom brady is so proud of 120 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: to this day is the path that he, took the 121 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: fact that it was a harder and more challenging path 122 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: than a lot of. Guys and within, that one of 123 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: the things he's always talking about is how lucky he 124 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: was to have no eyes on him as a, Rookie 125 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: like he could make mistakes and be under the radar 126 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: and the press didn't, care they didn't even really notice, 127 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: him and the coaches barely noticed. Him and you, KNOW 128 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: i think that he looks at guys Like Peyton manning 129 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: And John Elway Eli manning to an, extent you, know 130 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: guys who were drafted first, overall came up with a 131 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: ton of expectation and hype and managed to live up 132 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: to that because that's a unique challenge and not every 133 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: guy can do. It and SO i was kind of, thinking, 134 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: like what's the the biographical intersection Between brady And, mendoza 135 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: because drafting a quarterback first overall is like the opposite 136 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: Of Tom brady's, Path AND i think, that, LIKE i 137 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: think that that's where they, cross you, know they. Intersect 138 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: is that like if they had not been so you, 139 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: know mentally, tough so strong, willed they probably would have 140 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: had nice college careers and then gone onto the business. 141 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 2: World but, instead you, know Especially mendoza just did something 142 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: epic and, legendary As chad talks about all the. Time 143 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: AND i think that's probably Where brady sees someone Like 144 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: mendoza and sees a little bit of a reflection of 145 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: his own. 146 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 4: Experience Agree, MORE i definitely Think brady sees a lot 147 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: of himself mentally In. 148 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: Mendoza the question. 149 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 4: Is can he get there THE nfl career, wise which 150 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 4: is the five am to midnight type of, days, Right 151 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: and like that's that's WHY i Think mendoza is so 152 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: perfe for The raiders is he seems like he's that 153 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: kind of.

Insane the expectations are so. 159 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 4: INSANE i talked to chat all the.

Own where you, know he's going to 218 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: have the infrastructure of access To Tom brady's. Mind you, 219 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: know he's he's gonna have an offensive coordinator who spent 220 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: or you, know a head coach who spent his life 221 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball and is coming 222 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: off A Super bowl win when they, did you, know 223 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 2: miraculous work with you, know a quarterback THAT i think 224 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: a lot of people didn't think had that. Upside AND 225 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: i think, that, like you, know you're you're absolutely. RIGHT 226 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: i mean context, matters and you, KNOW i think that 227 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: he's going to a team that knows, that a coaching 228 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: staff that will know how to protect him a little. 229 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: Bit AND i don't mean just from like a pocket, 230 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 2: standpoint but how to like keep the pressures both in 231 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: game and at a game At bay as best we. 232 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 2: Can AND i think that he is well equipped for. 233 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 2: IT i will say that he's a little, older he 234 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: had to play his best in huge games this year 235 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: where there was a ton of pressure on. Them and 236 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: even though we could say they were playing with house, 237 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: money They're. INDIANA i, mean that's not how they. Think 238 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,359 Speaker 2: and he came, through. 239 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: You know WHAT i. 240 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: Mean and SO i think, that like all of those 241 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: THINGS i looked at as tremendous upside at the same, 242 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: sense you look at someone Like, nussmeyer WHO i, loved you, 243 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: KNOW i thought for as much hype As manning got 244 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: entering last, YEAR i thought he was the you know 245 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: that Nuss meyer was the best quarterback in THE, sec 246 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: and frankly it wasn't, close LIKE i AND i think, 247 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: that like you look at, him he'll probably be the 248 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 2: third or fourth quarterback. Picked had a tough senior year 249 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: due to, injury which, happens but he has a ton 250 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 2: of great football under his belt against the highest, competition 251 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: AND i think that if he goes to a team 252 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: Like pittsburgh where he can maybe learn Under Aaron rodgers 253 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: for a year like that could lead him to being 254 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: to possibly being the best quarterback in the. DRAFT i, 255 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: mean that's the thing that makes this stuff so fun 256 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: and also hard to, project is, that like we grade 257 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: draft picks and players, individually but context matters for everything for. 258 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: Them and you, know you look two years, ago people would, 259 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: say right, Now Caleb williams clearly has the most upside 260 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: of any quarterback in the class of twenty, four and 261 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: he's earned. That BUT i, mean Bo nix's statistics are 262 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: so much better than anybody else's in every, way including, 263 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 2: wins and you know it's because he went to a 264 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: good team with an offensive minded head coach from the 265 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: start who knows what a successful program looks, like And caleb. 266 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 2: Didn't and SO i think, that, like those are the 267 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 2: types of comps THAT i think are really, fascinating and 268 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: it'll take a couple of years to see how they shake. 269 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: Out, Well i'm glad you bring up Bone nicks because 270 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: you had that great section in the book and all 271 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: that good reporting From Sean payton about how he looked 272 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: at quarterbacks and he had told you before the draft 273 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: that he was taking Bon nicks that was the guy 274 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: that he wanted and he had sort of. Identified, explain 275 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: because this was. Awesome explain How Sean payton was looking 276 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: and scouting quarterbacks and what mattered most to, him and 277 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: then see if you can extrapolate from that and identify. 278 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: Quarterbacks and, yeah i'd have, to like we'd have to 279 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 2: call Up ai and run their numbers through. Everything but 280 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: he basically so this is when he was with The. 281 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: Saints And i've been, rambling So i'll Go i'll be 282 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: as brief AS i can cut me off If i'm 283 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: rambling too. Long but when he was with The, Saints. 284 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: Seth you're our. Guest you can speak for as long 285 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: as you're all. 286 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: Right when he was at The, saints he was looking 287 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: to Replace Drew, brees and he Liked Patrick mahomes a. 288 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: Lot the problem with college coquarterbacks nowadays is that you 289 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: have these offenses that really came around in the How 290 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: Mummy Mike leach turn of the, century early oughts that 291 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: knew how to exploit space with incredibly simple, concepts but 292 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: are very difficult to. Defend and they take quarterbacks who 293 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: really are average quarterbacks and produce superstars out of. Them and, 294 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: so like with, college you can't trust statistics coming out 295 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: of college anymore because so many guys have incredible. STATS 296 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: i think that the guy who owns the record for 297 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: touchdown passes at the highest level in college in a 298 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: single season Is Bailey, zappi who's barely been able to 299 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: hang on in THE. Nfl and so if you can't trust, 300 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: statistics and you really can't trust your eyes because the 301 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: spacing is so different in college than in THE, nfl 302 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: then what can you? Trust and he wanted to try 303 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: to figure out a way to quantify processing, speed which 304 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 2: of course is like the holy grail of quarter back, 305 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: evaluation and so he can he developed this analytics formula 306 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 2: that was kind of like a failure index where he 307 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: looked at total attempts and then looked at, sacks, taken, 308 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: fumbles interceptions per past attempt things like, that because he 309 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 2: was basically, like, look if they take a lot of, 310 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 2: sacks And peyton considers sacks a quarterback, statistic not an 311 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: offensive line, statistic and if they're fumbling a, lot and 312 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 2: if they have a high rate of, interceptions it probably 313 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: means that they're not seeing the action very fast and 314 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: you're not going to improve that in THE. Nfl so 315 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 2: that was the first year that he did. It it 316 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 2: led him to really Love Patrick mahomes's, Numbers Like Patrick 317 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: mahomes scored the best out of that twenty seventeen. Draft 318 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: as we all, know he was going to Draft, Patrick 319 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: Andy reid swooped up traded With buffalo the pick before 320 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: The saints Got mahomes changed his. Career and so When 321 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 2: peyton got To, denver he knew he was going to 322 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: pick a. Quarterback they were going to cut bait With 323 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 2: Russell wilson and eat the cap, number and they were 324 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: going to pick a. Quarterback and he ran everyone through, 325 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: it Including chad's Boy Kayleb williams And Bo nick's by 326 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: far the best averages out of. That and so what 327 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: he saw With bo was a guy who had played 328 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: in bad weather At oregon and barely, fumbled a guy 329 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: who had completed a high percentage of his, passes a 330 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 2: guy who you, know just didn't turn the ball over 331 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: a lot and didn't make a lot of. Mistakes his 332 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: sack numbers were so, small and so that was his 333 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: helped him buy Into Bo, nicks and then everything Bow 334 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: nick showed him from there on out kind of solidified. 335 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 2: It so that was the gist of. It Kayleb williams 336 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: didn't have great numbers coming out of, There drake may 337 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: didn't have, big you, know great numbers coming out of. 338 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: THERE i THINK jj McCarthy did IF i remember.

About as horrible AS i was For bo 383 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 4: to go, through that's an amazing motivator for him going 384 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 4: further because he was so close AT Afc championship game 385 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 4: and it was taken away from him because of a 386 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 4: stupid little. 387 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: Injury and you, know Jailing. 388 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: Hurts we're into year five now and you still still 389 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 4: people immediate doubting, him which AGAIN i get, it it's 390 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 4: all part of, it BUT i keep giving out the 391 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 4: numbers and five years as a, starter he's number one 392 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: in winning, percentage he's fifth in total, yards he's third 393 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 4: in total, tds and he's TEMPTING. Qbr so it's, like 394 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 4: When i'm evaluating these quarterbacks, NOW i try to always 395 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: bring that. 396 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 3: In WHERE i missed that With. 397 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: HURTS i looked At herst's arm talent AND i was, 398 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 4: like this guy will never be a starter consisting this. 399 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 3: League he just is so. Consistent what happened is he 400 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 3: got to the. 401 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 4: League obviously he worked on, that he worked on his, 402 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 4: arm but he found a system that worked for. 403 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: Him. 404 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: Right they found a way to use his. 405 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 4: Legs so WHEN i look At, MENDOZA i really do, 406 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 4: think as much AS i do have doubts about, him 407 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 4: we've seen him able to use his. Legs you've seen 408 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 4: him use his body in a, way and then in. 409 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 4: COLLEGE i would love to get your perspective on that, 410 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 4: is do you think his game from college can transition 411 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 4: TO nfl or do you think they're going to tear 412 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 4: down Everything signetty did with him and kind of rebuild. 413 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: Up there's a lot in. There number, One you know 414 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: how when you were, broken how did you? RESPOND i 415 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: think that like that's such a critical. Factor brady is, 416 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: is you, know the face that we'll always think of 417 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: in terms of like how someone can respond to that 418 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 2: situation With. Bendoza there's two routes to win in THE. 419 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: Nfl you have you're established franchise. Quarterback he's your, guy 420 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: you're committed to, him he's making a ton of, money 421 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: and you know he's the face of the. Franchise and 422 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: then you have the other, way which is, like, well 423 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 2: you're not, sure but you draft these guys that are 424 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: on a rookie. Contract you can put a ton of 425 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 2: great surrounding talent around, them and you know it's a 426 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 2: relatively inexpensive investment as you're trying to figure out whether 427 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 2: this will work. OUT i, mean you know when When 428 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: chad AND i were working together AT, espn you, know 429 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: the first quarterbacks picked in the, draft we're getting these huge, 430 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: contracts much bigger Than Tom brady was, Getting Like Alex 431 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 2: smith was making so much more money Than Tom brady was. 432 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 2: Making And tom had three rings because you, know there 433 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: was no rookie, salary rookie wage, cap and these agents 434 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: Like Tom condon And Jimmy sexton would just hold up, 435 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: teams and you, know it ended up being a blessing 436 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 2: for those guys, financially BUT i think a complete curse 437 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 2: in every single. Way AND i think that's one of 438 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: the reasons why so few of those, guys maybe Only 439 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: stafford truly became universally considered a right was because they're 440 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: going to bad. Teams they're getting paid a ton of, 441 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 2: money so there's fewer good players to surround them. With 442 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: the coaches are under more pressure than ever to make 443 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: it work with. Them there's all these cultural problems within 444 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 2: the locker room because you have guys who have established 445 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 2: themselves who aren't making as much as he, is and 446 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 2: all of those things colluded against a lot of these 447 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 2: guys being. Successful AND i think that like the other 448 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: route is the you, Know hurts a little bit, route 449 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 2: The Russell wilson route With, seattle the route that the 450 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 2: forty nine ers tried to take With Brock, purdy where you, 451 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: know they clearly got to the overtime of A Super bowl. 452 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 2: Win The broncos are doing with Bow Knicks patriots With 453 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: Drake may where it's, like you, know you basically take 454 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: a guy you hope he works, out but if you 455 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: have to cut your. Losses it doesn't screw up your 456 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: franchise for the entire. Time and so that's what they're gonna. 457 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 2: Do Like brady has said. That you, know we're in 458 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: his living room once and you, know we were talking 459 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 2: about the early part of his career and he's, like, 460 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 2: yeah we are a defensive team AND i just kind 461 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 2: of managed the. Game AND i was, like, DUDE i 462 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: don't think. SO i, mean he led the league in 463 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: touchdown passes his second, year WHICH i pointed out to, 464 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: him and he was, like it wasn't that, many, Though 465 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: and you know he won Super, bowls especially the Second Super, 466 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 2: bowl you, know by throwing the ball forty some. TIMES i, 467 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: mean that's not a game, manager but he HE i 468 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: think what he was trying to, say and he's kind 469 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 2: of said this since, then is that he didn't think 470 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 2: he was consistently excellent for a long, time and he 471 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: didn't think till two thousand and four he was consistently. 472 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 2: Excellent so that's one to two oh, three two Super 473 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: bowls in three years before he thought he was consistently. 474 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: Excellent and SO i think, that like the model for 475 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: Bringing mendoza into the league is the same type of 476 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: thing where it's like you're managing. Someone so that, means, 477 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: yeah you're going to run RPOs and, things you, know 478 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: speak the language that he's used. To but it's also 479 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: THE nfl and you have to figure out a way 480 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: to stay ahead of defenses and give him a chance 481 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 2: to you, know run LEGIT nfl. Offenses AND i think 482 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 2: that like in that, regard he's coming into a good. 483 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: SITUATION i, Mean, kubiak they you know that, system they 484 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: know how to, run they know how to coach, offense 485 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: and you know that can't be said for. 486 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: Everybody let's do a quick break here from my friends 487 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: at Hard rock and we'll come right.

Nfl and everyone always acts 522 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: like he Was Kurt warner coming from nowhere and being 523 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: a sixth round, pick and they show the picture of 524 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: him at the combine when he's got a scrawny. Body 525 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: but the guy was also a supreme athlete who was 526 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: drafted to Play Major league, baseball who was heavily recruited 527 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: out of high. School it's not like he was some 528 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: guy who got plucked from obscurity Into. Michigan he was 529 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: recruited BY, usc he was recruited by other, big big. 530 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: Schools you don't get To michigan because you're not a 531 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: superior athlete who shows a lot of. Potential the idea 532 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: That brady came out of nowhere and was sort of 533 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: an inferior, ATHLETE i think it's become such a part 534 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: of his myth. Making it deserves a little bit of myth. 535 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: Busting, YEAH i mean he was always first of, all 536 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 2: if you watch his film In michigan or even in high. 537 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: SCHOOL i, mean the guy just he could. Throw he 538 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: had he was a phenomenal what they call arm. Talent 539 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: AND i think that the problem was was that it 540 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 2: came out of what was a gangly, body and he 541 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 2: had horrible foot. SPEED i think we could just say, 542 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 2: that you know WHAT i. Mean and even though he 543 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: was he could have played pro, baseball he Wasn't Ricky. 544 00:29:53,080 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: Henderson and SO i think, that like you combine all 545 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 2: of those things with the fact of his situation At 546 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 2: michigan where you, know the, coaches at least the head, 547 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: coach you, know wasn't sure he really wanted him to 548 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: be the starting, quarterback and that was kind of the 549 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: thing that dogged. Him AND i think, that like we 550 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: were smarter about even though we're not, perfect we're so 551 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: much smarter about evaluating quarterbacks now than we were back. 552 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: Then and it was partly because of him and his. 553 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 2: Success and there's a lot of guys in that, time 554 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: like there Was Kurt warner, first Then brady then Like jake. 555 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: DeLoone you, know there's all these guys who kind of 556 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 2: like came out of, nowhere who were really coming in 557 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: and playing well in the.

What i mean so, you have to, like 724 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 2: number one make sure that the players understand how, good 725 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 2: he is, but number two figure out ways to give 726 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 2: rooted in factual insight into him that give them confidence 727 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 2: that they can do something. Productive against him and one 728 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 2: of the things that Came Up, WITH josh allen i 729 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 2: have to go back and, look at this but like 730 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 2: it was like something like eighty seven out of his 731 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 2: career ninety something interceptions that Weren't like hail mary interceptions 732 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 2: were thrown. From the pocket and, so, that, said like 733 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 2: look if you keep this guy, in the pocket odds 734 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 2: are he'll. Give you one and if you let him 735 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 2: scramble and he has a clear read of the field and, 736 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 2: nobody around him you're probably going to get chewed. Up 737 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 2: pretty good and he threw two interceptions in that Playoff 738 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 2: game against denver and they were.

Much more, 898 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: miraculous you know in one of The people that i'm 899 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:36,440 Speaker 1: talking to for My book that, i've you know we 900 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 1: had a lot of progress on they when they. Were 901 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: in college, they're so smart and they got into the 902 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: sports and analytics community and they, spent consecutive summers one 903 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: Working for the browns in college and one Working for the. 904 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: Eagles in college and, they love football they love being, 905 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: in the space but they decided they didn't want to 906 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: go work for a because because they were never going 907 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,560 Speaker 1: to get full control over play calling and they felt 908 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: like if they were in the front office just, doing 909 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 1: the analysis even IF, they were gm there's so much 910 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: stuff that is so out of your control because of 911 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: injuries and bad calls and bad fumbles and bad bounces that, 912 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: your entire career you can miss out on winning the 913 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: ultimate prize based on things that. You cannot dictate and. 914 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: It's so frustrating and that is something that Happened to the. 915 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 1: Broncos this year and it actually when, that moment happens 916 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: you just feel for everybody because you know that it's 917 00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: all that are going to. Be thinking about it's going 918 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: to be twelve months of every single day thinking, about that. 919 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 2: Moment, and you know to tie, IT full circle i 920 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,840 Speaker 2: mean like we cannot know what happens, on the field 921 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 2: and you can't accurately refer, quarter you know judge quarterback 922 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 2: play unless you know what the intent of. The play 923 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 2: is because the human error factor comes in so much more. 924 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 2: Than anybody realizes like you have some receivers who aren't 925 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,319 Speaker 2: good at, catching certain routes. 926 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 1: So. 927 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,320 Speaker 2: You know you don't, think about that YOU know what 928 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,800 Speaker 2: i mean that maybe a receiver catches the fade better 929 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 2: than they catch. The square in and so if they 930 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 2: have a, square in called or if the defense knows 931 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 2: that and they're going to force them to run a 932 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 2: square in and take, away the fade you have to account. 933 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 2: For other things you have, offensive Linemen who like denver's 934 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 2: all pro guard was, great all year had a horrible Game. Against, 935 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,280 Speaker 2: the patriots like of all The things that broncos factored 936 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,760 Speaker 2: in trying to how do we win with a backup 937 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 2: QUARTERBACK In the, afc championship game having their role pro 938 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 2: guard get their get his butt Beat against the patriots wasn't. 939 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 2: One of them, you have matchups you have all of 940 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 2: these things that, come into play and so when you 941 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 2: look at a quarterback, and, you say, oh you know 942 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 2: his completion percentage. Isn't very good, he you know he. 943 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 2: Must be inaccurate like there's so many factors that go 944 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 2: into just completion percentage that make it a difficult, Statistic 945 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 2: to judge, like you know, maybe you know. Maybe It's 946 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 2: Not maybe aaron rodgers is the most accurate passer ever 947 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,799 Speaker 2: and it's obvious because the guy could always put the ball. 948 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,879 Speaker 2: Whereever he wanted but you're talking about a superhuman. Level 949 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,359 Speaker 2: of quarterbacking and when we're trying to evaluate, college quarterbacks 950 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 2: again it's so hard to trust statistics, because statistics lie 951 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,800 Speaker 2: especially in.
