Speaker 1: Twelve of the NFL's finest quarterbacks have left the comfort
Speaker 1: of their stadiums and luxury suites for.
Speaker 2: The adventure of a lifetime.
Speaker 1: These brit iron heroes are used to leading their teams
Speaker 1: on the field, but can they outplay, outlast, and outthrow
Speaker 1: each other in the ultimate survival challenge?
Speaker 3: You ain't everything you have in the gobae tied you man,
Speaker 3: We find a way to win the No matter what.
Speaker 1: The stakes are high and the competition is fierce, only
Speaker 1: one can claim the title of the ultimate survivor. Who
Speaker 1: rise to the top and who will be sacked?
Speaker 4: They wrote me off, I ain't right back, though, that's
Speaker 4: the problem.
Speaker 2: I'm right back.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 2: This is Quarterback Island. That's right.
Speaker 5: Welcome to Quarterback Island, a magical place where only your
Speaker 5: imagination and your ability to read a cover to defense
Speaker 5: while being a killer on the field and a politician
Speaker 5: in front of the microphone can stop you. Yes, this
Speaker 5: is it your vision, Jordan Rodrigue, Steve Weiss with us too.
Speaker 5: We're wearing tropical shirts and we're going to decide what
Speaker 5: quarterbacks in twenty twenty four deserve to start the season
Speaker 5: on the island. This is a big moment for you,
Speaker 5: specifically Jordan.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy right now, like when I first heard that,
Speaker 3: Like Randy, let's shout out. That was some excellent work
Speaker 3: on the intro.
Speaker 5: There, you guys are all on his own, no direction,
Speaker 5: he just did it.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 3: You guys are on theme. We have props. By the way,
Speaker 3: these are going to be really important if you're watching
Speaker 3: on YouTube. We are. We each have a yes sign
Speaker 3: and a no sign, very beautifully done by ETP behind
Speaker 3: the glass. This is Quarterback Island. Shall I explain?
Speaker 5: Yes, and welcome Steve from you from your travels all
Speaker 5: around training camps.
Speaker 3: But Steve's like what it's like, Oh, getting to know.
Speaker 5: All the Hall of famers. That's great, this is the
Speaker 5: real stuff.
Speaker 6: But I will say this, I am disappointed and at
Speaker 6: some of the sound we didn't use, and not including
Speaker 6: Jameis Winston because.
Speaker 2: His hype speech.
Speaker 6: The week one preseason was almost as good as eating
Speaker 6: the w Okay.
Speaker 3: He's the chair of the Redemption House for those who
Speaker 3: watch reality.
Speaker 5: Hey, as we explain with Quarterback Island, there's no rules
Speaker 5: that Jamis Winston can't emerge and find us a lot
Speaker 5: on Quarterback Island by the end of the season. He's
Speaker 5: not eligible right now. He's not a starting quarterback. And
Speaker 5: that's the first thing. But do you want to explain, Jordan,
Speaker 5: how a guy gets on Quarterback Island?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So Quarterback Island magical place. By the way, High Honor.
Speaker 3: We're calibrating Quarterback Island right now. We're going to cut
Speaker 3: it at twelve, so twelve quarterbacks will be voted onto
Speaker 3: the island. We will do the voting majority vote. There's
Speaker 3: three of us. For those who are watching on YouTube,
Speaker 3: you can see this, but if you're not, if you're listening,
Speaker 3: there are three of us here in the studio, two
Speaker 3: very lovely Hawaiian ice patter.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And so we're going to go around the divisions and
Speaker 3: we're going to talk through different quarterbacks and we're going
Speaker 3: to vote about whether or not they are allowed on
Speaker 3: Quarterback Island. We're gonna do this throughout the season. We
Speaker 3: also can vote people off the island. There's gonna be
Speaker 3: some politicking involved. There's gonna be some high stakes backstabbing.
Speaker 3: Mm down the line, I'm already trying to buy Steve's votes.
Speaker 3: So Greg, you better watch your back, man.
Speaker 2: I mean, so we're like on the island, I mean
Speaker 2: just survivor tech.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are, we are there and I look at
Speaker 5: it and you can tell me if I'm wrong. Like
Speaker 5: what twelve quarterbacks as we enter the season. It's not
Speaker 5: just who's the best? There's it's a little it's a
Speaker 5: little vague, you know, I don't know if vegas the
Speaker 5: right word. It's a little nebulos, like what quarterbacks define
Speaker 5: the position? Right now? What quarterbacks do you want on
Speaker 5: that island with who are the best? But also who
Speaker 5: are the best long term? Who are the best short term?
Speaker 3: It's and we can have and that's going to be
Speaker 3: the fun part is debating over okay, but there are
Speaker 3: two rules that we are starting out with. I'm looking
Speaker 3: directly at you, Greg, okay, right now, I'm not worried
Speaker 3: about Steve. I'm looking directly okay. Currently injured quarterbacks do
Speaker 3: not qualify. So justin Herbert, who would be on quarterback
Speaker 3: Island currently dealing with planter fasciitis kind of situation is
Speaker 3: They hope to have a resolution of this, but situation
Speaker 3: currently has less of a conclusion than we'd like.
Speaker 5: This time of year, we don't want to start Quarterback
Speaker 5: Island with a guy who might not suit up there.
Speaker 5: We're going to reconvene. It might be as early as
Speaker 5: week one, week two, once we see some data. And
Speaker 5: then justin Herbert and good.
Speaker 3: Ga, yes, and he could, he could. Justin Herbert could
Speaker 3: end up kicking someone else off the island, which is
Speaker 3: this is where the stakes come in. But also no rookies.
Speaker 5: Okay, we'll revisit that.
Speaker 3: We will not revisit. Let's no rookies until the season starts,
Speaker 3: because Caleb Williams could come in and kick someone off.
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels, JJ McCarthy, your guy. I saw you tweeting
Speaker 3: about him like.
Speaker 5: I was very press.
Speaker 3: Oh, come in, But Steve and I are going to
Speaker 3: gang up on you here because they got to play
Speaker 3: some real football first.
Speaker 5: Greg, We'll get to it when we get to the
Speaker 5: NFC North, but let's start NFC East because look, maybe
Speaker 5: we all have different visions of what quarterback Island should be.
Speaker 5: But to me, I think we start with the NFC
Speaker 5: East and the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott And it's
Speaker 5: kind of easy to forget. Lamar Jackson last year unanimous MVP,
Speaker 5: but there was a second place into this of MVP votes,
Speaker 5: and he was the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. So to me,
Speaker 5: this is one I don't think there needs to be
Speaker 5: a ton of discussion about. I think Dak Prescott's a
Speaker 5: pretty logical just choice.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, is around. Yes.
Speaker 6: My question is this, what if we like don't even
Speaker 6: get like halfway through this, are we voting people off?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, if we get twelve people on and Eric keep
Speaker 5: us honest, because I think that's the best way to
Speaker 5: do it. If we happen to get twelve people we
Speaker 5: get to the last division yet, then we'll have to
Speaker 5: kick some people off. But Dak is definitely on. I
Speaker 5: think we can say Daniel Jones of the New York
Speaker 5: Giants is not a tough one here. He is definitely
Speaker 5: a no across the board.
Speaker 3: I hope he has his floaties.
Speaker 5: Even at his peak two years ago. I don't think
Speaker 5: he ever would have gotten onto quarterback Island. Would if
Speaker 5: we have been a top twelve quarterback at some point
Speaker 5: in the twenty two season.
Speaker 6: Maybe, but I yeah, he might have been on the
Speaker 6: quarterback raft.
Speaker 5: Okay, he was one of the eight remaining quarterbacks of
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty two players. We don't need to spend
Speaker 5: too much time on the guys who are obvious. Jayde
Speaker 5: Daniels you mentioned, is just eliminated. We don't even have
Speaker 5: to vote applicable. He's not He's not a guy. Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5: I'm curious if we need to vote at all or
Speaker 5: talk about or if we're in unison here that we
Speaker 5: all have him on the island.
Speaker 3: Yes is Yes is all around across the let's talk
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 5: Because I welcome Jalen.
Speaker 3: Welcome Jalen, the second person. You would be good vibes
Speaker 3: by the way I think Quarterback Island. You want to
Speaker 3: it's a handsome it's a handsome man at it. It's
Speaker 3: pretty privileged island. Yeah, like that's that was a great
Speaker 3: mena Kime's reference there on that show. So I think
Speaker 3: with Jalen Hurts, I really cannot wait to see what
Speaker 3: this offense looks like. I can't wait what it will
Speaker 3: look like with more motion that actually means something, not
Speaker 3: just motion for the sake of motion, eye candy, that
Speaker 3: actually changes gaps, that actually realigns formations in space. And
Speaker 3: I can't ever discount what Jalen Hurts can do, you know,
Speaker 3: with that dual threat ability, especially when he's gonna have
Speaker 3: a really good running back with him in Saquon. Yes,
Speaker 3: But at the same time, the dude can throw the
Speaker 3: hell out of the ball as well. And he has
Speaker 3: played at a very high level quarterbacks, some deep, deep
Speaker 3: deep playoff team super Bowl loss obviously, but teams that
Speaker 3: when even when the defense was doing nothing to help him.
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts belongs on Quarterback Island. Now, if this offense
Speaker 3: comes out and and you know, just craps the bed,
Speaker 3: then we'll revisit the conversation. But he is an outstanding
Speaker 3: quarterback on Quarterback Ey.
Speaker 6: He got like three awesome targets too. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 6: Dallascott and HJ. Brown and Smith.
Speaker 5: But do we take that into account, Jordan with Quarterback Island,
Speaker 5: you almost have to.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take that into account.
Speaker 5: Some of the arguments make Well, here's the thing with Hurts.
Speaker 5: I saw that ESPN Jeremy Fowler Executive poll. They had
Speaker 5: him thirteenth. But you know they they.
Speaker 3: Also thought that Josh Allen was overrated.
Speaker 5: So they well, no, but that was one guy thought
Speaker 5: that you know, they people like to pull, you know,
Speaker 5: but he was like second on that list. They had
Speaker 5: him thirteenth. I saw our guy, Stephen Ruiz, my guy,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to give him to you guys. I
Speaker 5: don't even know if you know Steven.
Speaker 3: I love Steve.
Speaker 5: He had him like thirteenth in his quarterback rankings too,
Speaker 5: So I do think there's an underappreciation of how much
Speaker 5: Jalen Hurts can do just as a physical threat. And
Speaker 5: I was really excited that when he got to camp.
Speaker 5: Everyone said after it was a little rocky picking up
Speaker 5: the Kellen Moore offense in the off season night and day,
Speaker 5: and the ball hasn't been on the ground that much
Speaker 5: at camp. And to me, he's he's a no brainer.
Speaker 5: People are too quick to put some of these other
Speaker 5: guys will get to above Jalen Hurt. So I'm I'm
Speaker 5: glad he's on. That's the NFC East. We have two
Speaker 5: on from the NFC East.
Speaker 3: Ten spots to go. Takes our rise.
Speaker 5: Let's go you're on quarterback guy, Let's go to NFC.
Speaker 5: Jared Goff is an interesting way. Let's talk about him
Speaker 5: before we do any voting, because I feel like he
Speaker 5: could be right there at the border at least he's
Speaker 5: in that area.
Speaker 2: For me.
Speaker 5: Let's be real when we made our list. You guys
Speaker 5: tell me if you're different. There's about seven, six or
Speaker 5: seven are like, okay, that seems pretty He's on for sure.
Speaker 5: There's about ten that are definitely not on. And then
Speaker 5: there's about ten, yeah, ten to twelve that I think
Speaker 5: we got to talk about. And I think Goff is
Speaker 5: one of those guys. Does anyone want to make a
Speaker 5: case four or against Jared Goff.
Speaker 2: I'll make the case for Jared, Okay. I mean, one,
Speaker 2: he's a damn good player.
Speaker 6: Two he's got arguably I'm gonna put one of the
Speaker 6: top three play designers, and Ben Johnson can stuff up
Speaker 6: for him. You know, great offensive line. They've paid four
Speaker 6: of their starting five offensive lineman they should, They've invested
Speaker 6: heavily in the O line.
Speaker 2: And he's got like just studs everywhere you look to
Speaker 2: throw it to.
Speaker 6: I mean, so besides being a good player, having a
Speaker 6: great play designer, great offensive line, he's I mean, we're
Speaker 6: gonna we're gonna get into some debate and I'm not
Speaker 6: saying he's being carried here because I think he's a
Speaker 6: proper well.
Speaker 5: It is the first thing you brought up though, and
Speaker 5: to me, I.
Speaker 2: Said he was a great player.
Speaker 5: We all disagree maybe on what it takes to be
Speaker 5: on quarterback, and to me, the teammates don't matter because
Speaker 5: that much because I'm thinking he's on an island.
Speaker 2: We want that.
Speaker 5: I want the twelve guys who defined the position right
Speaker 5: who are playing the best right now. And yes, you're right,
Speaker 5: if they have great people around him, then we'll look
Speaker 5: smarter because he's gonna have a good season. But I'm
Speaker 5: more thinking about the guy I want a little bit
Speaker 5: in a vacuum, and so I think Goff maybe struggles
Speaker 5: in that front.
Speaker 3: You know what, though, I'm okay with Jared Goff and
Speaker 3: of in a vacuum, I'm less okay with Jared Goff
Speaker 3: against some of these crazy pressure defenses, but in a vacuum.
Speaker 3: To your point, Greg, just in a vacuum. I don't
Speaker 3: think Jared Goff is out here lowering any floors for
Speaker 3: teammates and is being He is doing what he's asked
Speaker 3: to do. But he is also at this point in
Speaker 3: his career, far less so than perhaps in previous years,
Speaker 3: elevating along with a group that is peaking at the
Speaker 3: right time. I think I talk about this all the time.
Speaker 3: I think pace is one of the sneaky most important
Speaker 3: things for a quarterback to have along with his organization,
Speaker 3: not to outgrow the pace of the organization, not to
Speaker 3: undergrow the pace of the organization, but to match it
Speaker 3: along with those playmakers, along with the collaborators that are
Speaker 3: helping this thing go. I'm not saying that, you know,
Speaker 3: Jared Goff can lift the you know, chiefs receivers that
Speaker 3: we've seen over the past couple I'm not saying that
Speaker 3: at all. That's a whole other conversation. I'm just saying
Speaker 3: he has the right pace. I do think he belongs
Speaker 3: on quarterbacky. I will also say, though, that I flip
Speaker 3: flopped a lot of times with a lot of guys
Speaker 3: sort of in that middle tier to the point where
Speaker 3: it was like a dunk tank situation. It's like you're
Speaker 3: in the water.
Speaker 5: I'll try to convince you out of it. Because I'm
Speaker 5: voting no. I'm voting no for Jared Goff. I want
Speaker 5: to see what you guys are voting.
Speaker 2: You're going on.
Speaker 6: But he might be the first guy to get to
Speaker 6: get pulled off the plane.
Speaker 3: I agree with Steve. I'm voting yes, but it might
Speaker 3: be he might just keep one pinky toad dipped in there.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I'm trying to avoid an embarrassing situation. If
Speaker 5: you guys say you like Jared Goff as much as
Speaker 5: you do, like, maybe save him the embarrassment of him
Speaker 5: being on the island and thinking he's all good. This
Speaker 5: is like when he was on Rams Island and they
Speaker 5: booted him off because they wanted a shinier model. Later,
Speaker 5: what if he gets kicked off for Matthew Stafford in.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 3: Jared Jared Goff tied for sixth in EPA per play
Speaker 3: zero point one one EPA p pass play with c. J.
Speaker 3: Stroud and Matthew Stafford. And yes, a lot of factors
Speaker 3: go into that. It's not going to be the sexy
Speaker 3: brand of throwing the ball that we see from other quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: but it's getting the job done.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, on this island, things can get bumpy.
Speaker 5: You get you know, hurricanes, you need food. Like you
Speaker 5: were worried about him handling a pressure defense, how about
Speaker 5: a pressure front coming in. It might not be able
Speaker 5: to anily listen.
Speaker 3: When you're on an island, you just need one person
Speaker 3: who you can outrun when the bear's coming all right.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, we're talking squalls.
Speaker 5: I don't know if Jared Goff might be the slowest
Speaker 5: guy on this island when we get to the end
Speaker 5: of it, so he might be the guy people are
Speaker 5: out running. All right, let's stay in the division. Let's
Speaker 5: go to the Packers. Jordan Love, do we want to
Speaker 5: talk about it or do we want to vote? Right
Speaker 5: off the bat. He's an interesting case because people that
Speaker 5: thought he got paid too early. I disagree with that
Speaker 5: because they saw enough, I think to know, they've seen
Speaker 5: enough in their building to know what they want for
Speaker 5: the next four to five years. It's not just about
Speaker 5: those nine games now putting him on the quarterback island
Speaker 5: of like twelve defining quarterbacks in the league. He's going
Speaker 5: up against some other player eventually that I've shown it
Speaker 5: over a longer period of time. But to me, I'm
Speaker 5: going to vote yes right off the bat because of
Speaker 5: the talent is just outrageous. Jordan, what do you vote?
Speaker 3: I'm voting yes for all the like a lot of
Speaker 3: the reasons you said, but also because we're going to
Speaker 3: talk about some guy. Oh, Steve's gonna have a chance
Speaker 3: to it to Rebut here we were talking about a
Speaker 3: lot of guys who are either peeking or potentially on
Speaker 3: the brink of descending a little bit. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of guys that we're going to get to that are
Speaker 3: kind of in that category. I think is ascending along
Speaker 3: with a really exciting core group of skill players of talent,
Speaker 3: a coordinator that gets him and vice versa in the
Speaker 3: in the head coach, and I think he's ascending at
Speaker 3: the right time. That's why I vote yes.
Speaker 6: I mean, I I agree with all that. I'm just
Speaker 6: looking at the other list and.
Speaker 3: Inviting about your fall, guys.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a tiny island. Yeah, the island you're.
Speaker 3: Going to be Sean McVay you.
Speaker 5: To me, I'm thinking about this island, not just of
Speaker 5: like who's the best, like who who explains the quarterback position?
Speaker 5: Who defines it in the year twenty twenty four. And
Speaker 5: to me, when I'm looking at who's playing on Sunday
Speaker 5: or it's Friday night to start the season, Jordan Love
Speaker 5: is right near the very top of the list of
Speaker 5: like guys I want to see and in that offense,
Speaker 5: which you know, just a great young I just feel
Speaker 5: like that's more sizzle, that's more QB island to me
Speaker 5: than Jared Goff. So I'm voting yes.
Speaker 3: I will revise 's on one small point, and you
Speaker 3: can still vote no if you know, if you are
Speaker 3: not are if you are so unmoved by this passionate
Speaker 3: speech here. But I think that Jordan Love, if we're
Speaker 3: talking about embodies quarterbacking, I think he embodies it in
Speaker 3: so many ways in terms of specifically the conversation about
Speaker 3: development about pace, like I mentioned about what it really
Speaker 3: takes to eventually put all the pieces together as a
Speaker 3: player and to keep growing and to continue to push
Speaker 3: and ascend even when all of the millions and millions
Speaker 3: of things that come upon these players the course of
Speaker 3: a career could break them, and adversity and all those things.
Speaker 3: Problem solving, developing and getting better, and that is one
Speaker 3: of the key elements that every great quarterback, eventual great
Speaker 3: quarterback has, and he's already showing very small signs of
Speaker 3: being able.
Speaker 5: To do that.
Speaker 6: I agree with all that I'm just playing island GM here. Okay,
Speaker 6: we'll really have fifty three spots on the island right well,
Speaker 6: I know that I'm just playing island G Yes, I.
Speaker 2: Mean I can't keeping spots, Okay, I hear you. So
Speaker 2: we're clearly in this.
Speaker 6: If we're taking two by division, well that would be
Speaker 6: sixteen so far we're taking.
Speaker 5: I just say that that Jordan love Man can throw
Speaker 5: the ball really far and it's really exciting. All right,
Speaker 5: let's go to the Vikings JJ McCarthy and or C. M.
Speaker 4: Donald.
Speaker 5: That's obviously a no. If we're counting Donald and then
Speaker 5: the Bears. I guess eligible. I guess the rules are
Speaker 5: saying that Caleb Williams is ineligible. I just got to say, like,
Speaker 5: why not get ahead of things again? If you're talking
Speaker 5: about defining the position. I've seen enough. It's not just
Speaker 5: the preseason. It's Caleb Williams as a prospect. Like Caleb
Speaker 5: Williams again, bringing the juice, bringing the talent. He is
Speaker 5: going to be such a big part, I believe, of
Speaker 5: all of our lives for the next ten or fifteen years.
Speaker 5: He is going to be building a high rise on
Speaker 5: quarterback Island. Like he's going to be there. We might
Speaker 5: as well just put him there now, because who's more
Speaker 5: important to the quarterback position in the coming year, Jared
Speaker 5: Goffer or Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2: I would just put Caleb agree without going to school first,
Speaker 2: bro to what.
Speaker 5: He plays one or two games and we put him on.
Speaker 3: Yes, we have that power. We so have that power
Speaker 3: and authority as the lords of quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no hate, no hate for Caleb here. He's going
Speaker 2: to be fantastic.
Speaker 3: Because I agree with you. I do think in terms
Speaker 3: of the zeitgeist of what football is and what quarterbacking
Speaker 3: is like, Yes, of course Caleb Woods.
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be that good right
Speaker 2: off the bat.
Speaker 5: If CJ. Stroud can be that good right off the bat,
Speaker 5: and why can't Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3: You build a foundation on concrete, not say and don't
Speaker 3: make that man build a foundation for a skyscraper on
Speaker 3: a sandy island. Greg, give him the tools to build
Speaker 3: a foundation on concrete. Then we'll put it over on
Speaker 3: the island.
Speaker 2: You gotta hit him with the.
Speaker 5: Sun on the end that you there that hurt am.
Speaker 5: I gotta give it to you, all right, I will.
Speaker 3: Some pink things, get some sunscreen on it.
Speaker 5: I feel. I feel chastened, is what I feel. Let's
Speaker 5: go to the NFC South. I don't think we're gonna
Speaker 5: fight too QUI no, Derek Carr of the Saints.
Speaker 3: I have no sign.
Speaker 2: No, No, I.
Speaker 5: Mean you need a guy who can withstand pressure, not
Speaker 5: just literal pass rush heat. I think he struggled was that, Yeah,
Speaker 5: we don't even have much of a conversation here. No,
Speaker 5: but also like you gotta a standing from the media
Speaker 5: to a little bit. I feel like sometimes he gets
Speaker 5: a little sensitive. So that's I want. I want a
Speaker 5: guy who's who's strong, you can stay.
Speaker 2: I love Derek, but no, now we're talking Top twelve.
Speaker 5: Bryce Young is a is a know all around. We
Speaker 5: all hope the best for Bryce Baker Mayfield. Nice turnaround.
Speaker 5: Did you did anyone think about Baker Maype.
Speaker 6: I did not think about Baker no respect limitations.
Speaker 5: And yet the closer I've gotten to the season, I've
Speaker 5: convinced myself that this Bucks team, who I'm going to
Speaker 5: pick to win this are a little more frisky and
Speaker 5: deeper in terms of their talent than people realize. So
Speaker 5: I think he might be set up for more success
Speaker 5: than people realize.
Speaker 6: That's all I agree. We're talking top twelve here. He
Speaker 6: may have to fight his way on.
Speaker 5: Okay, and the final quarterback in the division is Kirk Cousins,
Speaker 5: probably the most interesting one to talk about. You want
Speaker 5: to make a case for or against the start off.
Speaker 3: Jordan, I am not putting Kirk cousins interest on quarterback Island.
Speaker 3: I had some I had some thought about this. I
Speaker 3: had a real good think on this particular argument because
Speaker 3: I am willing we'll get to I know we'll get
Speaker 3: to him in a minute. I am willing to put
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers on Quarterback Island and both coming off of well,
Speaker 3: we'll see because we're getting tight on the numbers here
Speaker 3: as Steve a steam point and.
Speaker 2: Output, you got three on I.
Speaker 3: I just the streakiness. You and Ollie Connolly had a
Speaker 3: great show episode just talking about Kirk's streakiness. He's gonna
Speaker 3: do you know, I believe in Zach Robinson, but Zach
Speaker 3: Robinson is gonna have to learn. He's got a really
Speaker 3: steep learning curve, almost similar to that of what a
Speaker 3: young quarterback would have, and Kirk will help him with that.
Speaker 3: But I just think you're one of this. I know
Speaker 3: everyone looked at the Falcons as like, Okay, they're ready
Speaker 3: to win now. They're ready to win now. But I
Speaker 3: kind of tend to think that they might stall a
Speaker 3: little because there is relative inexperience on certain things, and
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna get scored on a lot.
Speaker 2: Prove it to me.
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins, Uh, okay, you had said yes, I would
Speaker 5: have gotten no just because of your reasoning. You got
Speaker 5: you know, and I'm spiteful of like he's almost a little.
Speaker 3: Like the game is bringing the best out of Gray.
Speaker 5: It's like he's a little like Cale Williams. To me,
Speaker 5: it's like a new team. You're coming off an Achilles injury.
Speaker 5: You're thirty six years old, and let be real, for
Speaker 5: the majority of your career you've been about QB thirteen
Speaker 5: QB twelve anyways, So why am I even though you're
Speaker 5: always in the news giving you the benefit of the doubt,
Speaker 5: you're not getting on the island.
Speaker 6: Chains is not. He wear the change on the plane.
Speaker 6: But I'm with you, he's not.
Speaker 5: That's the first surprise to me. I thought, for some reason,
Speaker 5: I would be on an island.
Speaker 2: But there's a couple of guys Gregg Island.
Speaker 5: Couple guys got Greg Island would be sneaky fun. It'd
Speaker 5: be lawful, but it'd be sneaky fun.
Speaker 3: God, it would just be constant noise.
Speaker 2: It would be annoying. Law I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure islands have been getting
Speaker 5: a bad rap lately, so I'm just wanting you know,
Speaker 5: it's all all kosher there on Greg Allen, great food.
Speaker 2: By the way.
Speaker 5: Let's take a quick break and then we will come
Speaker 5: back and go through the rest of the divisions and
Speaker 5: determine who is making it to QB Islands to start this.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we're back on Quarterback Island.
Speaker 2: Man, What the name of lot.
Speaker 3: Going on with the drumps lords of Quarterback Island? I
Speaker 3: feel power, much power.
Speaker 5: I am having so much fun, but I'm having even
Speaker 5: more fun seeing how much fun Jordan is having. And
Speaker 5: I do want to apologize to anyone that knows Derek
Speaker 5: Carr in the car family who heard a sound effect
Speaker 5: that sounded like a man drowning. That was That was
Speaker 5: a sound effect we weren't expecting to use. We had
Speaker 5: decided against. It was a little too large. Let's actually
Speaker 5: hear it again now that now that I've brought it up, Okay,
Speaker 5: that's it's too far. First of all, he was never
Speaker 5: on Okay, y, we're not going to do that again.
Speaker 5: But I did make me laugh that you hit it
Speaker 5: by mistake and I just wanted to explain it to the.
Speaker 3: My shoulders have ten stuff.
Speaker 2: But that was a little much. It was a little much.
Speaker 5: NFC West Matthew Stafford. You know a couple of years ago,
Speaker 5: I would have thought he would have taken a discussion.
Speaker 5: You say, yes, Steve, Yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, slam dunk.
Speaker 6: I mean Anthony Stafford over the back half of the
Speaker 6: season was one of the best top two quarterbacks in
Speaker 6: the NFL last year. We know how good he is.
Speaker 6: He's got he's got too over the back half of
Speaker 6: the season last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and with with Pooka and the cool and Cooper Cup,
Speaker 6: now tight end situation is going to be interesting.
Speaker 2: And he is.
Speaker 5: He looks a little thinner.
Speaker 3: This's Ginny Stafford.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 5: Little different moves so well, I kind of don't get it.
Speaker 5: When I was at the practice, I was like, I
Speaker 5: don't remember. I know he moved well last year, but
Speaker 5: then even better. How was he getting better twelve They're.
Speaker 3: Saying it's the tennis for Actually they're saying it's all
Speaker 3: the tennis he's playing in the off season.
Speaker 2: I didn't know he was playing. That's really good for
Speaker 2: an elbow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he's going lefty. Yeah. Maybe, Well that also
Speaker 3: tells you how good that elbow feels, I think, because
Speaker 3: you know how hyper fixated he is on any little
Speaker 3: thing that might be possibly wrong, you know, with the arm.
Speaker 5: You know he's pickle No, we're not into pickle ball
Speaker 5: on QB, Islander or in the Chris Westling.
Speaker 3: Only real sports only on QB.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 5: And I do love that Drew Brees and Matthew Stafford
Speaker 5: were both big time tennis players. But it kind of
Speaker 5: explains what's happened to American tennis. We lose a lot
Speaker 5: of the good athletes, you know, to the to the
Speaker 5: bigger sports. Disappointing. Stafford is on what a what a
Speaker 5: career arc. Honestly, for most of his career he was
Speaker 5: bouncing around around that number twelve thirteen spot. And yet
Speaker 5: I'm with you, no brainer. Kyler Murray is anyone does
Speaker 5: anyone want to make a case that he belongs I
Speaker 5: I am a big Kyler Murray fan. Steve says, yes, Wow, Yes.
Speaker 6: I'm going to argue this to the Crows come home.
Speaker 6: I think he's a dynamic player. When he's on the field,
Speaker 6: they win. Like when you look at the losses Kyler
Speaker 6: Murray has been off the field or d Hop or
Speaker 6: James Connor, like they haven't had anybody else since. I
Speaker 6: think Kyler Murray is a top twelve quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 6: They've got him some weapons, They've tightened up the offensive
Speaker 6: line a little bit. I'm not saying Arizona is going
Speaker 6: to be a playoff team, but I think we're going
Speaker 6: to see Kyler Murray be able to play his best football.
Speaker 6: He's not going to be escaping the free rusher that
Speaker 6: came with the head coaches blocking schemes.
Speaker 2: He's going to be able to do his thing. We
Speaker 2: know he's got the Bazouk of an arm. We know
Speaker 2: he's a dual threat.
Speaker 6: You guys talked about defining the position or he's the
Speaker 6: ARC type.
Speaker 5: Now, Jordan, as someone who came up with QB. Allen
Speaker 5: to begin with, do you see any projection in our
Speaker 5: ability as voters because he is you know, he played
Speaker 5: the second half of last season. And I feel like
Speaker 5: I'm about as high on Kyler Murray this season as
Speaker 5: I could be, and I had him as a no.
Speaker 5: And yet I think for the first time Steve has
Speaker 5: convinced me anyone has convinced me of anything. So good job, Steve.
Speaker 3: This is a really big day.
Speaker 6: This also helps been taking any quarterbacks from the Enfercy
Speaker 6: South is that's true.
Speaker 5: We got five guys so far now that we have Stafford,
Speaker 5: we have Dak Jalen, Hurtz, Goff, Jordan Love and Stafford.
Speaker 5: We have five on. But I think you just swung
Speaker 5: me because I guess I'm viewing it. Maybe we should
Speaker 5: have a little bit of a projection that I think
Speaker 5: he's going to be there in the end, so why
Speaker 5: not put him there right now?
Speaker 2: He gets me juiced up. I'm saying, yes, he's on.
Speaker 3: My problem with this and I have my no sign up.
Speaker 3: My only issue with this because I am fully willing
Speaker 3: and ready to vote him on to Quarterback Island by
Speaker 3: like week three, because I think he's going to have
Speaker 3: an outstanding year. It is inarguable what he accomplished last year.
Speaker 3: But I am doing the math, and I've got my
Speaker 3: names written out here. I'm doing the math.
Speaker 5: Yea, you took Caleb away from me. Kirk was on
Speaker 5: the borderline.
Speaker 3: So now Quarterback Island is not about retaliation, Greg, It's
Speaker 3: about quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: It's about getting We're on the slippery slope pier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I gotta say if I will say, and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put my you know, I'm not a mom,
Speaker 3: and don't get my mom voice here, Greg like, Yeah,
Speaker 3: if we're not arguing projection with anyone else, we can't
Speaker 3: just change that for one person. I will tell you
Speaker 3: I'm fully ready by week three or four to watch
Speaker 3: him play his way onto the island. I think he
Speaker 3: has the gifts the skills to do it. Short king,
Speaker 3: we love that. But also if we're not arguing, if
Speaker 3: we're not allowing arguing of projection as a fundamental principle
Speaker 3: of the previous what six people we've just voted on
Speaker 3: the island, then we can't just ark the rule a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 5: For one, he's like right on that borderline.
Speaker 2: The numbers he may be coming off. It's tough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think just for the show entertainment, it'd be
Speaker 5: fun to kick some people off too. And so I
Speaker 5: don't appreciate you saying a guy that's five eleven is
Speaker 5: short because.
Speaker 2: I love five eleven.
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray was yeah, yeah, breaking here push back on that.
Speaker 5: One, all right, I love that, I love it. Could
Speaker 5: we go across the border how many NFC West We
Speaker 5: have two more quarterbacks in the NFC West?
Speaker 3: No, I mean how many?
Speaker 5: How many spots left? Because we just voted Kyler on,
Speaker 5: So that's six at six.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. He's coming off. There's no way,
Speaker 2: So should I change you?
Speaker 5: Kind of did change my mind a little bit with
Speaker 5: the whole projection idea, so we got to save him
Speaker 5: the embarrassment.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's no.
Speaker 3: It was so wait was I the second person to
Speaker 3: ever change you?
Speaker 2: Now have changed my mind back Tyler?
Speaker 5: Steve.
Speaker 2: This is a big date on the same QB who knew.
Speaker 3: Steve and Ire This is a big day.
Speaker 5: And that's because I want to make the case for
Speaker 5: Geno sith. I think he is right around that twelfth
Speaker 5: quarterback mark over the last two seasons combined. So to me,
Speaker 5: that's a nice track record. Steve lifts up a sign
Speaker 5: that says no. Jordan lifts up a sign that says no.
Speaker 3: Like Kyler, I am ready to watch him play his
Speaker 3: way onto.
Speaker 2: The ie he played it.
Speaker 5: I watch the twenty twenty three season, I watched the
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two season.
Speaker 3: I did, I did, and I heard every minute of
Speaker 3: you honking about Geno's.
Speaker 5: We threw her forty four hundred when he was when
Speaker 5: he was top five VP in the league on first
Speaker 5: and second down, and they can't protect him on third down.
Speaker 2: It all falls apart.
Speaker 3: This is all numbers. This is all numbers to me too,
Speaker 3: in terms of the math that we're that we're doing
Speaker 3: here on on quarterback Island and the predetermined spots available
Speaker 3: on quarterback Island. I like Kyler. My no is not
Speaker 3: like a firm no. It's it's a bit of a
Speaker 3: wobbly no in that I am fully ready to watch
Speaker 3: Geno Smith play his way onto quarterback Island and get
Speaker 3: one of these twelve spots.
Speaker 5: I mean, is that just what you're going to say
Speaker 5: to let people down gently when you.
Speaker 3: Are No, Because I believe in Geno Smith. I think
Speaker 3: he's outstanding.
Speaker 5: I think, well, because I'm annoyed by this, I'm now
Speaker 5: putting Kyler back on as a yes. I don't know
Speaker 5: if you were finished as a yes.
Speaker 2: No, he's off.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the numbers. You haven't party AFC yet.
Speaker 6: We haven't got the AFC yet.
Speaker 3: AFC is the majority roll, get get fined.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get to the next guy.
Speaker 5: Hey, Okay, Brock pretty see. I truly do believe you know,
Speaker 5: it's been a top twelve quarterback over the last two years.
Speaker 5: You make the case. Party was one where I didn't
Speaker 5: have a yes or no. I just wanted to listen
Speaker 5: to what you guys said.
Speaker 3: I am, first of all, not going to give brock
Speaker 3: Purty negative marks for his own success and for his
Speaker 3: own development over the last couple of years. I think
Speaker 3: he takes more risks than people think he takes. I'm
Speaker 3: and I also am not going to Like we've argued
Speaker 3: from the start here, I'm not this has been the
Speaker 3: parameter I've judged through. Now it's okay if not everyone
Speaker 3: judges through that parameter, but through what I've judged through,
Speaker 3: I am not going to punish a quarterback for accentuating
Speaker 3: the system around him and vice versa. I like I said,
Speaker 3: I don't think he's dropping anyone's floor. I think the
Speaker 3: pace of this offense is that it all raises together.
Speaker 5: Is he better than Kyler?
Speaker 3: I don't. I think that they're both going to be
Speaker 3: on queer back measured differently. Yes, okay, Steve go so, I.
Speaker 6: Mean my thing when it's the first time about Kyler
Speaker 6: I mean, you talk about all the athletic things, so
Speaker 6: that's Kyler, but you talk about somebody who not only
Speaker 6: runs this offense. You watch Rock Party. I watch every
Speaker 6: one of their games. He is a killer. He has
Speaker 6: got that Joe Burrow Final two minutes. I'm taking your
Speaker 6: teeth out approach to him. And I am a huge
Speaker 6: Rock Party guy because at the end of games, at
Speaker 6: the end of moments, he elevates people, and well, the
Speaker 6: hardest thing to do when you have a superstar lineup
Speaker 6: is to get all of these guys rocking and rolling
Speaker 6: consistently at the biggest moments.
Speaker 2: I am. I am Team rock Purty all day.
Speaker 3: I will also tell you Steve spent a lot of
Speaker 3: time up there. I've spent a little bit of time
Speaker 3: up there as well in previous seasons as he was
Speaker 3: still developing. And this is not a quarterback who simply
Speaker 3: does what Kyle Shanahan tells him to do. Maybe he
Speaker 3: started that way and that's what helped him really see
Speaker 3: football in that way and really develop in a very
Speaker 3: specific way. Very specific by the way, too, all of
Speaker 3: the little micro details of that ecosystem that is how
Speaker 3: they developed him. Is like you are basically the AI
Speaker 3: program of what Kyle Shanahan wants to do. And that's fine,
Speaker 3: But I don't think he just simply throws points where
Speaker 3: Kyle points, throws ball where Kyle wants ball thrown. Like.
Speaker 3: I think there's a legitimate collaboration starting to develop there.
Speaker 5: I'm with you, and he's an improving player. And the
Speaker 5: reason I vote yes in the end too, is you're, oh.
Speaker 3: You had us in the first half.
Speaker 5: I wasn't sure he was up in the air. But
Speaker 5: to me, it's more important that he helped. If we're
Speaker 5: talking about the position in twenty four defining the position,
Speaker 5: I think he really makes it on that count too.
Speaker 5: And when you said about killer at the end of
Speaker 5: the games, I just started think about it. I just
Speaker 5: double checked it. I mean, they needed a touchdown at
Speaker 5: the end of the divisional round or they would have
Speaker 5: faced absolutely terrible upset. They get the touchdown. They needed
Speaker 5: a touchdown and or a field goal five straight drives
Speaker 5: against the Lions. Yes, and they or else they wouldn't have,
Speaker 5: you know, and he struggled. He set them up for
Speaker 5: that definit but he gets it. And even in the
Speaker 5: Super Bowl where you know their defense played great through
Speaker 5: three quarters. He needs a touchdown and a field goal
Speaker 5: to get them two overtime, and a field goal in overtime,
Speaker 5: which it shouldn't be dismissed. He gets them all. I mean,
Speaker 5: that is pretty kind of amazing if you think about it.
Speaker 3: Very clear, we're not saying that because he's on quarterback Island,
Speaker 3: that he's like sitting in the throne on quarterback Island,
Speaker 3: which I've just developed and built in my mind, which
Speaker 3: that's a whole other that's a whole other show. I'm
Speaker 3: saying he is on quarterback Island. Okay, he could be
Speaker 3: off quarterback island if he plays poorly or someone plays better.
Speaker 5: Okay, we have gotten through the NFC, so we're six on.
Speaker 5: We've done it nice and evenly. But I don't know
Speaker 5: if that's how it's all because the coming off is
Speaker 5: deeper in quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: He's coming off.
Speaker 5: Let's go to the AFC East. I don't think Josh
Speaker 5: Allen needs any discussion. We are all around giving him
Speaker 5: a Yes, he has earned his right, whether he's QB two,
Speaker 5: QB three, who knows he's he's up there to a
Speaker 5: tongue of Iiloa. To me is one of the more
Speaker 5: fascinating ones. We can talk about Steve. Let's just talk
Speaker 5: about him before we voted.
Speaker 3: All.
Speaker 5: You've had a lot of time around to it. You
Speaker 5: saw him get paid. What are your thoughts.
Speaker 6: I saw him play a full season last year and
Speaker 6: lighted up. I saw a dude whose teammates roll with him. Okay,
Speaker 6: this is a guy. Let's not forget. He came in
Speaker 6: his rookie year where the head coach you didn't want him,
Speaker 6: overcoming an injury fully healthy. The next year head coach
Speaker 6: you didn't want him has to change ocs still puts
Speaker 6: up numbers. Now he comes in with a head coach,
Speaker 6: he says, Okay, I got a guy who can run
Speaker 6: my system. I got a guy who's who's good. We
Speaker 6: got him some players around and any lights it up.
Speaker 6: This is an ascending player. This he is a top
Speaker 6: ten to twelve quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2: I mean you could do this. Oh he's not this,
Speaker 2: or he doesn't have the strongest sign. There's a lot of.
Speaker 6: Teams that will like to a tongue of my load.
Speaker 6: There's a reason why they paid him, because if they
Speaker 6: didn't he went elsewhere, there'd be someone else who paid
Speaker 6: him and that's another barometer here. So we're on the island.
Speaker 6: We're not gonna put the Samoan dude on the island.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 5: I'm a little confused now because we've put Jared Goff
Speaker 5: on the island.
Speaker 2: Who I didn't He's on it. He's on the potentially
Speaker 2: I didn't want.
Speaker 5: He's actually had above Jared Goff, but probably below the
Speaker 5: cutoff line for the island. I do want to say,
Speaker 5: so now that you guys have forced golf on me,
Speaker 5: that makes me less likely Am I the swing vote
Speaker 5: to vote for two.
Speaker 6: Of you can't have six NFC dudes on Now that
Speaker 6: I'm looking at this, We'll see.
Speaker 3: I don't think we will, Okay, Yeah, I I all
Speaker 3: when I was going back and forth, he was one
Speaker 3: of the people who I flip flopped on so many
Speaker 3: times thinking about this, and I interchanged him with Jared
Speaker 3: and also even with brock Perty I interchanged them together,
Speaker 3: certainly with Kyler a little bit with Gino as well,
Speaker 3: but with Tua Steve. I know you know this because
Speaker 3: you spend so much time out there when you stand,
Speaker 3: if you get to stand, if you ever are lucky
Speaker 3: and you get to stand behind the way that they
Speaker 3: run that offensive operation in a live best on best
Speaker 3: ones period, and you hear all of the things that
Speaker 3: Tua does before the snap in terms of orchestrating all
Speaker 3: of the moving pieces of that offense, I think he
Speaker 3: is being asked to do more pre snap than almost
Speaker 3: any other quarterback in the league, first of all. Second
Speaker 3: of all, what a lot of people don't understand about
Speaker 3: motion is that every First of all, there are a
Speaker 3: million different types of motion that most of which we
Speaker 3: never even talk about, and they all are timed off
Speaker 3: of the quarterback's cadence, the spacing in between certain words,
Speaker 3: the way that they manipulate to sort of send a
Speaker 3: signal to the offense that we're gonna run this motion
Speaker 3: even though it sounds. The defense like this motion, timing
Speaker 3: it with the exact snap, the quarterback building that rapport
Speaker 3: and trust, with the receivers changing gaps, and the quarterback
Speaker 3: understanding which way the defense is going to move, because,
Speaker 3: like I said before, with Jalen Hurts and that previous
Speaker 3: Eagles offense, it's not just moving a guy just to
Speaker 3: move him. It is picking up a gap, putting it
Speaker 3: under your arm, and or running with it to another
Speaker 3: place and moving a defender and then so understanding the
Speaker 3: way that the defenses and the voids, especially in zoning
Speaker 3: defenses change at that point the space underneath the shell
Speaker 3: of the zone defense. And so with Tua tongue of Ailo,
Speaker 3: I've flip flopped so much because I do think that
Speaker 3: he is being asked to do more than most quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: Into what's your answer?
Speaker 3: My answer is yes, and I know I'm gonna I
Speaker 3: know I'm gonna kick someone off, but I also have him,
Speaker 3: Like I said, I also have him like right on
Speaker 3: the fringe because you're looking at you know, the record.
Speaker 3: The struggle is late down the stretch of the of
Speaker 3: the collective.
Speaker 5: And don't consistently, and I do think that should matter
Speaker 5: somewhat that he can survive a season and play at
Speaker 5: a similar level throughout. That's the next level. That's the
Speaker 5: you know, you got to play an entire season and
Speaker 5: be consistent year after a year, and he hasn't quite
Speaker 5: done that.
Speaker 3: That's why he was right on the.
Speaker 5: I'm on the borderline on one hand, like I want
Speaker 5: to avoid all the Dolphins fans seeing the list where
Speaker 5: there's only two. On the other hand, I kind of
Speaker 5: want you to come after me, So I kind of
Speaker 5: want to kick them off just to hear about it
Speaker 5: because it makes me feel good.
Speaker 3: Don't tag the rest of us, just tag Greg.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so let me just put this out there. Now,
Speaker 2: he's on. You guys voted him on, So let me
Speaker 2: just put this.
Speaker 6: Out there just because we think some of these guys
Speaker 6: can n us here in shallow water. If you put
Speaker 6: two on Detroit or put two with the Packers, is
Speaker 6: he putting up same or better numbers than.
Speaker 2: Those other guys.
Speaker 3: I think he's putting up similar numbers. Yes, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: So two is on. That's good.
Speaker 5: That's a good way to put it. But but I
Speaker 5: will tell you, Jordan Love would be more aesthetically pleasing.
Speaker 5: But everything you're saying reminds me of like Kurt Warner,
Speaker 5: and Kurt Warner always is a to a defender, I
Speaker 5: believe because to win that way pre snaff and then
Speaker 5: with touch, timing, anticipation. I mean, so many of the
Speaker 5: greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game I've won
Speaker 5: that way. Joe Montana half history. Our people were like,
Speaker 5: how is he getting this done? And I'm not saying
Speaker 5: two is at that level, but that type of player
Speaker 5: sometimes does get a little undervalued by jokers like me
Speaker 5: who just look at the physical traits.
Speaker 3: And I want to say, and I'm honking now, I
Speaker 3: understand that, thank you for being such a great mentor
Speaker 3: to me, Greg, But like this is also it goes
Speaker 3: even beyond like all of the different It's a conductor
Speaker 3: of an orchestra. You're hitting the timpanye in one part
Speaker 3: and you're doing a little pinky point. It's someone else
Speaker 3: that's getting the violin, and you've got the clarinet going
Speaker 3: off and doing some crazy shit, and it's just like
Speaker 3: you have to know what all of the pieces are
Speaker 3: going to do and how the defense is going to react.
Speaker 3: But then you have a second play, so you get
Speaker 3: them to react to the first play, and then you
Speaker 3: reorchestrate the entire thing.
Speaker 2: Did you go? Can can?
Speaker 3: Right there, I'm like, wild, did you go?
Speaker 2: Can't? Can't? Second place?
Speaker 3: And can water water go back to the first one,
Speaker 3: and so I think here's the here's the thing though,
Speaker 3: it's also about all of the different ways he could
Speaker 3: throw the ball. I know we talk at nauseum about
Speaker 3: the arm strength with Tua, but the way that they're
Speaker 3: able to do some of the no hitch throws because
Speaker 3: of the speed they have it skill players and again
Speaker 3: parameters that that I'm using here as I'm not punishing
Speaker 3: a guy for the skill players here and all of
Speaker 3: the speed they can go no hitch. So you're you're
Speaker 3: not hitching in your throat YouTube. You can watch me
Speaker 3: awkwardly do that. You're not hitching with your throat. You're
Speaker 3: going quick game, but you're actually going intermediate and deep
Speaker 3: routes because you have that speed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you.
Speaker 3: Still can hit that even though all of it, all
Speaker 3: of that orchestration that I just talked about, is happening
Speaker 3: in half the time. And that's miliciny.
Speaker 5: It's fast, he's fast, he's on the he's on the island.
Speaker 2: Not quickly.
Speaker 5: You convinced me, impressive. Honking Drake may not eligible. Jacoby
Speaker 5: Brissett is a no no with whichever Patriot. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 5: is a weird one. I actually thought Aaron Rodgers would
Speaker 5: be a relatively easy no at this point because he's
Speaker 5: at a prove it season to me. For me, not
Speaker 5: just because he's coming off of such a serious injury
Speaker 5: orthough that's into it, but because he didn't play that well,
Speaker 5: the last season that he was healthy. So I'm not
Speaker 5: just rubber stamping Aaron Rodgers onto this island when I've
Speaker 5: seen guys like Gino Smith and Kirk Cousins out play
Speaker 5: him the last couple of years and they didn't make
Speaker 5: it on the island. He's a big fat no.
Speaker 2: He's a big fat yes.
Speaker 6: Mark seriously telling me you're taking Gino Smith over Aaron
Speaker 6: Rodgers right now for.
Speaker 5: Who would deserve to be on this island. Yeah, show
Speaker 5: it to me. Everyone's excited because he's he's winning in
Speaker 5: practice and everything.
Speaker 2: He struggled in famer who got hurt?
Speaker 5: I get it, But he played through the injury in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two and he played worse than Genus of
Speaker 5: that year. So that was the last time they were
Speaker 5: both on the field together. I don't want to make
Speaker 5: it about Gino. What I mean is, like I think,
Speaker 5: if you really look at his twenty twenty two season,
Speaker 5: he would not have been one of the top twelve quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: He wasn't top twelve in any possible metric that you
Speaker 5: could use, whether it was PFF, whether if it was
Speaker 5: qbr DVA. Like in my eyeballs, he was good that year.
Speaker 5: But not great. My eyeballs eyeball, So he's got to
Speaker 5: prove it. He's no, you're the deciding vote here, Jeorgane.
Speaker 3: I know, and I gotta tell you I had him
Speaker 3: as a yes. But Greg, I think you convinced me
Speaker 3: on a no.
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 3: But Steve, I'm giving you. Do we have time, Steve
Speaker 3: for one more? Do you have any could you could
Speaker 3: you pull me back to your side? Here? Is there any?
Speaker 3: I mean, I love being wound.
Speaker 6: My whole thing is my thing. The whole thing is
Speaker 6: very simple. I mean last year what they won seven games? Yeah,
Speaker 6: with Joe Donut and Jack Rabbit playing quarterback. Right, if
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers was healthy, they're going to the playoffs in
Speaker 6: a very tough AFC.
Speaker 2: But Greg is thinking, you know that Aaron's gonna come
Speaker 2: in there and have a one to one.
Speaker 5: No, I think it'll be fine. I think it'll be fine.
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think it's I mean, I'm just
Speaker 5: sitting here.
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe I can see Greg's starting to maybe.
Speaker 2: I'd be dazzled by my whole.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think it's cool that you just
Speaker 5: called Tim Boyle, Joe Donut or oh Trevor Simeon.
Speaker 3: Yes, Timporton, Am I right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I I no, come on.
Speaker 5: The only reason I would put him on right now
Speaker 5: is because he'd be a fun guy to kick off later.
Speaker 2: But that's what is You're such a Patriots fam.
Speaker 5: No, I'm just having fun, all right.
Speaker 3: I'm putting him on.
Speaker 2: What yes, thank you?
Speaker 3: I might I might kick him off later, but I'm
Speaker 3: putting him on.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: We just put three in from that division. That means
Speaker 5: we have nine. It's gonna get we have real crowded
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson is on on, Joe Burrow is on.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, suddenly we're up to eleven. We have only
Speaker 2: one spot left. Because you mean between two guys.
Speaker 5: No, between two divisions and two guys that the stealers
Speaker 5: don't have an option between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 5: We can all say no, right, no, So I think
Speaker 5: that was the no that was. It wasn't that he's on.
Speaker 5: Well either way, that's.
Speaker 3: A not You know what though, when we hold up
Speaker 3: upside down, it does stay.
Speaker 4: On for the first couple options.
Speaker 3: Cat than just getting really heated.
Speaker 5: We're starting to we gotta we gotta pick.
Speaker 2: It up here.
Speaker 4: I don't know who that bows for. We're there is
Speaker 4: one for you.
Speaker 5: Steelers is a no stealers is absolutely no Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 5: Does he deserve any conversation?
Speaker 2: Negative? No, he's not on.
Speaker 6: No quarterback or no player coming into twenty twenty four
Speaker 6: has more of a spotlight on him than Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 6: We could talk about Aaron Rodgers or anything else. The
Speaker 6: fact that the Houston Texas have gotten fat off of
Speaker 6: the draft picks they got from Deshaun watching trade and
Speaker 6: the fact that the Cleveland Browns will be them a
Speaker 6: playoff team have gotten no ROI okay, number four the
Speaker 6: island lists, Yeah, the mainland Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the pressure he's not on the island.
Speaker 5: It is just crazy. All the Browns fans and Watson,
Speaker 5: everyone say.
Speaker 2: Why are you? Why are you so tough on Watson?
Speaker 5: Like you're just a hater.
Speaker 2: It's like that's a real split audience up there, because
Speaker 2: the whole I'm.
Speaker 5: Just saying, like, at what point have you seen anyone
Speaker 5: resembling the quarterback he was in Houston? Because as much
Speaker 5: as I don't like it, if you saw that quarterback
Speaker 5: for about three straight weeks, everyone like me would shut up.
Speaker 5: They would have to. They wouldn't, They wouldn't like it,
Speaker 5: but they would have to. But that quarterback hasn't been
Speaker 5: there so yet, we don't need to talk about it.
Speaker 2: Uh, CJ.
Speaker 5: Stroud does he take any conversation or is he already
Speaker 5: just like obviously on there?
Speaker 3: I think yeah he is, but we're gonna have to
Speaker 3: now kick someone off. Yeah, we're up to twelve, so
Speaker 3: well we haven't got have we. Wait, we're at twelve,
Speaker 3: so I didn't circle first.
Speaker 4: CJ should be number twelve on my countra thank you.
Speaker 5: So we're up to CJ. And that was part of
Speaker 5: the reason I did not want to put Rogers on,
Speaker 5: was because I knew the okay, we are so okay.
Speaker 2: So right now we basically have we have twelve guys.
Speaker 6: Ree Cannadas possibly for who are on the inflatable slide
Speaker 6: on the aircraft.
Speaker 5: Okay, so let's go through the teams that are remaining.
Speaker 5: The Tennessee Titans have Will Levis, you know, no, stop
Speaker 5: taking hits and the goal line. That's a no across
Speaker 5: the board. Obviously. Trevor Lawrence is an interesting no to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love him, though I think he's going to
Speaker 2: be hell a player.
Speaker 3: I wish I wish he's not there.
Speaker 5: It's a disappointment.
Speaker 3: I have to see him on a different team there.
Speaker 2: I would really yeah, I would too. I'm not putting it.
Speaker 5: All on the team.
Speaker 3: I'm not putting it all on the team either. I
Speaker 3: think a chain of change would be at some point
Speaker 3: fine for all parties involved. Team quarterback, like, just get
Speaker 3: just get a different system, get some different juice, get
Speaker 3: just different.
Speaker 5: Different, different building. Peterson heat. I'm picking up from Jordan
Speaker 5: without her saying it. So that's interesting. I just think
Speaker 5: it's crazy that we all agree that Trevor Lawrence entering
Speaker 5: year what is this fifth year? Five is not top
Speaker 5: twelve to us, show me something. I mean he showed,
Speaker 5: he showed something. He's above the Dalton line, not on
Speaker 5: the island. He's in a special it is.
Speaker 3: Above the Dalton line.
Speaker 4: We like.
Speaker 3: There's no argument about that. The Dalphin line is like
Speaker 3: the safe little like raft zone for the like if you're.
Speaker 5: Off the Bermuda triangle, that's between the Dalton line and
Speaker 5: not on the island. So this weird zone where him
Speaker 5: and Kirk Cousins are hanging out.
Speaker 3: It's not a place where you disappear though. It's a
Speaker 3: it's a safe it's a safe area. It's like Redemtion
Speaker 3: House almost. You're you're not on the island, but you
Speaker 3: are ahead of the Dalton line. That's where we pull
Speaker 3: from together.
Speaker 5: Okay, Anthony Richardson is a no right now, just because
Speaker 5: we got to see it. The Raiders clearly don't. We're
Speaker 5: going to go to the AFC East and i AFC
Speaker 5: West to wrap up. The Raiders clearly don't have a quarterback,
Speaker 5: whether it's Minshew or O'Connell. You eliminated Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3: Yeah, working like the accusation, and I.
Speaker 5: Wasn't sure about that. Executive rookies and injuries.
Speaker 3: Wait for this to play out.
Speaker 2: I just I'm I'm mccauye's gonna have one hundred can
Speaker 2: I still.
Speaker 5: I think Caleb Williams deserves to be on this island.
Speaker 3: I think he and Justin Herbert will be on this island.
Speaker 5: You keep saying all these people will be on these
Speaker 5: Well they can't all be on the island.
Speaker 2: The island's an exclusive play. Some of these guys, some
Speaker 2: of these guys are.
Speaker 3: Gonna, you know, we will be removing people.
Speaker 5: Okay, Bo Nicks or Jared Stidham is not an option.
Speaker 5: So we're really just down in the Hollack Wilson, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that was going down. I'm kicking your Jack Wilson take
Speaker 5: on this show from four weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Off the island.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's can we can we punt it into space?
Speaker 2: Gone?
Speaker 5: So yeah, we got Mahomes and he's definitely going on,
Speaker 5: and you're right, I guess we only got to thirteen now.
Speaker 5: I just you know, the listeners are out there and
Speaker 5: they know that on my Geno's on my island, Caleb's
Speaker 5: on my island.
Speaker 6: Okay, So are we safe? Are we safe to make
Speaker 6: the argument that that that the slippery slope guys?
Speaker 2: Okay? So we only have to kick one guy off.
Speaker 2: You're golf Jordan Love.
Speaker 5: I don't think Jua yeah, or come.
Speaker 2: On, Bra can't be on the fence like that.
Speaker 5: I don't think Jordan Love is on the fence.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: So because just the just the physical skill set. Also
Speaker 5: it's such a great name, too overwhelming. So Mahomes is on.
Speaker 5: We now have we now have thirteen guys on and
Speaker 5: I hate to do this for the first time in
Speaker 5: the history of QBA, and this will be the first
Speaker 5: time and the only time ever that we populated from scratch.
Speaker 5: From now on, they're hanging out there.
Speaker 2: They're having.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're having the night where they get to what
Speaker 5: do they say when you bring in your your wife
Speaker 5: conjugal visits? You know, like like in jail, they bring
Speaker 5: on the significant others come on to.
Speaker 3: The Quarterback Island is a wonderful place open to all.
Speaker 5: No I know, but you know it's like, but one
Speaker 5: guy has to get kicked out.
Speaker 2: So we're playing white lotus here.
Speaker 3: Everything's fine until it's super not okay.
Speaker 5: So Pretty, I'm gonna say, Pretty has to stay on.
Speaker 5: He's got anythings I think I think I'm saying. So
Speaker 5: it's down to Rogers too and Jared Goff. Can we agree?
Speaker 6: At least those are the three I would agree with that,
Speaker 6: And to me, I'm gonna go ahead and this Jared
Speaker 6: Goff of those guys, would be the guy I.
Speaker 2: Have to pull.
Speaker 5: Why is that.
Speaker 6: I'm not pulling to him? And I'm not I'm not
Speaker 6: pulling Aaron Rodgers. When you look at this list right now,
Speaker 6: he's the only well him and Mahomes is the first
Speaker 6: bout Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: But it's not about the Hall of Fame though, it's
Speaker 2: not about the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: About your you said it at the top of the show,
Speaker 3: what is it to be a quarterback? Right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Defined, Okay, okay, So let's let's let's let me throw
Speaker 6: this out there. If you're looking at our candidates on there,
Speaker 6: who is the most likely of these guys are not
Speaker 6: likely to not win an MVP or at least be
Speaker 6: in the MVP conversation this year? Well, and let's say
Speaker 6: with Jery Goff, two are Aaron Rodgers, Which one of
Speaker 6: those three is most likely to not be an MVP competition?
Speaker 2: It's m.
Speaker 5: I don't know, because I actually it's a tough question.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I have like an obvious things.
Speaker 5: I feel like we have to eliminate because remember Rodgers
Speaker 5: versus one of those guys makes sense. But someone we
Speaker 5: should decide between Tua and GoF who's safe because to me,
Speaker 5: they're kind of in the same category.
Speaker 6: I guess like Tua wasn't that conversation for like twelve
Speaker 6: weeks last year. Jared Goff was in it for like
Speaker 6: maybe one or two, And I mean, I'm just this
Speaker 6: is all this is last year solely and again like
Speaker 6: this is painful because I love Jared, But I mean,
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, I.
Speaker 5: Think we got to decide before we decide between the three,
Speaker 5: we have to decide between two and GoF who's safe
Speaker 5: because to me, they're those two are in the same category.
Speaker 5: You know this the system and kind of what they're
Speaker 5: ceiling has been really so I think we have to
Speaker 5: say one of those two is safe and then just
Speaker 5: decide between them and Rogers who is getting kicked off.
Speaker 5: I don't have a strong take. I lean towards Tua
Speaker 5: because if I was starting a team, I think I
Speaker 5: feel like I love watching Jared Goff spin the ball,
Speaker 5: and I actually think I would prefer to have Golf.
Speaker 5: I just feel a little more comfortable with Jared Goff
Speaker 5: than Toua. But I could be convinced.
Speaker 3: What do you think? I, oh, man, this is tough.
Speaker 3: The inventor of the game suddenly Sophie's choice. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I gotta say, if if I'm building an offense, I
Speaker 3: would really want to build it the way the Lions
Speaker 3: have built their team. I love all the speed that
Speaker 3: Miami has. I I stand by my take. Look at
Speaker 3: Steve Space.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm listening.
Speaker 6: I'm interested. I no, no, I'm reading it. I'm reading
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: No, Here's how Jordan's thinking.
Speaker 6: Okay, twenty two Offenser, run too tight, two tailbacks, and
Speaker 6: they're gonna throw a go pattern to I'm already Saint
Speaker 6: Bron out of a run formation.
Speaker 2: That's how she's thinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so, but that literally is what my brain
Speaker 3: was doing. You're the best, Steve, Okay, so I am,
Speaker 3: And if it comes down to me over, I have
Speaker 3: to think about the durability factor. I love for Tua
Speaker 3: that he is healthy. I love for Tua that he
Speaker 3: came back from some horrible stuff mentally and physically. I
Speaker 3: love that for him. Jared Goff came back from some
Speaker 3: horribly mental stuff as well. Jared Goff has improved over time,
Speaker 3: particularly when he has been at the correct pace, with
Speaker 3: the team growing around him, with the OC, with the
Speaker 3: protection he is. I'm not punishing. I'm not gonna punish
Speaker 3: either of these guys for succeeding with the players around
Speaker 3: them and also everyone lifting each other in many many ways.
Speaker 3: Jared Goff with the durability, I think I got a
Speaker 3: lean toward Jared Goff's staying because of that durability.
Speaker 2: Okay, good, good argument. So I'm out.
Speaker 6: So two is off, but I'm I'm keeping Tua on
Speaker 6: because if Tua got to play thirteen games in domes,
Speaker 6: which Jared.
Speaker 2: Goff gets to do this, Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 5: Two is known for five thousand Okay, So I think
Speaker 5: we've determined, and I didn't feel that strong about this.
Speaker 3: I'd rather have two.
Speaker 5: I think you'd rather have to.
Speaker 3: Guys, let me do Greg's face, I said over time,
Speaker 3: I'd rather.
Speaker 2: Have who's on QB Island, Jordan.
Speaker 3: Jared I already said, Jared, Yeah, you guys have golf
Speaker 3: to to us on QB Island.
Speaker 5: What we've determined, Jared Goff is on QB Island. He's
Speaker 5: staying on QB Island to find out who does get
Speaker 5: thrown off the island. Come back. Right after the break,
Speaker 5: we are back on QB Island, and frankly, we had
Speaker 5: to get back quickly before Steve made any more politic
Speaker 5: thing and trading votes and feelings are getting hurt.
Speaker 2: Old called whipping votes man.
Speaker 5: And we've determined Jared Goff, I believe season the island,
Speaker 5: and it's down to Aaron into a tone of bylow
Speaker 5: and before. Yeah, we do determine who's getting kicked off
Speaker 5: and who gets to start the season on QB Island.
Speaker 5: This is going to be something we revisit often during
Speaker 5: the season. We're gonna talk on the show. I think
Speaker 5: Tuesdays would be a great day for it. Well maybe
Speaker 5: not every Tuesday, but pretty semi regularly. We'll revisit who
Speaker 5: deserves to come onto the island, who deserves to get
Speaker 5: kicked off the island. Will be our way of kind
Speaker 5: of talking about the quarterback position of.
Speaker 4: A question about QB Island. Yes, so we often. We're
Speaker 4: gonna windle this down at all, so there's gonna be
Speaker 4: less spots on. We can't have twelve the whole season, right, So.
Speaker 3: We can have twelve spots the whole season because we
Speaker 3: will be adding rookies at some point.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, like some point gets the playoffs, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a winner, like I do.
Speaker 5: Think you've hit upon possible twists that we can add
Speaker 5: during the season, and.
Speaker 2: At some point we need to. We're starting at twelve.
Speaker 2: That's fun willing down like the NCAA playoffs, I think.
Speaker 5: I don't think we're gonna win all to one or anything,
Speaker 5: but I do think it doesn't have to stay twelve forever.
Speaker 5: The key is we have to surprise Jordan and not tell.
Speaker 2: Her about it.
Speaker 4: Make it hard.
Speaker 3: I love how this is.
Speaker 2: Greg cannot wait till.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gregs we're expanding the list.
Speaker 5: H'll earn his spot. Aaron Rodgers to a tongue of Iloa.
Speaker 5: I guess only there's only room for one right now,
Speaker 5: and shout out to Jared Goff just for you know,
Speaker 5: making it. This is a nice career achievement through a lot.
Speaker 5: I don't have a hot take here because I wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I wasn't really in favor initially of either of these guys,
Speaker 5: making I had I had a couple people ahead of them.
Speaker 5: I had Caleb ahead of them, I had Gino ahead
Speaker 5: of them. I had Kirk case.
Speaker 3: I know I argued for this earlier. As we kept talking, though,
Speaker 3: I just kept going back to you know, Kirk's streakiness
Speaker 3: was the reason and the Achilles together were the reason
Speaker 3: why I did not put him on Quarterback Island, plus
Speaker 3: the age the Achilles. If I used it, I'm almost like,
Speaker 3: is it not fair if I used it for one
Speaker 3: to reason with one older quarterback, and they're not in
Speaker 3: the same category of talent. They're not Steve's got that
Speaker 3: face again. And if they're, I mean, they're not in
Speaker 3: the same caliber of talent Kirk and Aaron. But if
Speaker 3: I was going to argue in Achilles recovery and return
Speaker 3: for one, then it's almost like unfair for me.
Speaker 5: You won't even let poor Justin Herbert get on.
Speaker 3: I feel like, I like, I'm trying to create, like
Speaker 3: you know, rules for quarterback Island when it's going to
Speaker 3: devolve into pure nebulosity? Is that a Is that a word?
Speaker 5: Probably chaos and chaos. Steve Axe all nice, He is nice,
Speaker 5: but you know to him his to me, my Gino
Speaker 5: is his Tua. So he's just like sticking up well
Speaker 5: to me, is Rogers defines a position where if I
Speaker 5: had to choose, I'd probably keep Rogers. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Mean to me, I mean, if it's between those two,
Speaker 6: I'm keeping Aaron Rodgers. The guy's got how many MVPs
Speaker 6: got Super Bowl Championship And now I know you made
Speaker 6: the argue the durability argument against Tua. Well he's been
Speaker 6: healthier than Aaron Rodgers the past. Yeah, but at the
Speaker 6: same time, I would have Tua on instead of Jared Golf.
Speaker 6: But I can't put Tua ahead of Aaron Rodgers. I
Speaker 6: cannot do that.
Speaker 3: I think that's that's a well reasoned that's that's rational.
Speaker 3: I would probably I'd probably say I'll go with Steve
Speaker 3: on this, Aaron Rodgers over Tua.
Speaker 2: But again, oh, I thought we were getting Golf off
Speaker 2: the island.
Speaker 3: If you want to reopen it, we don't have time.
Speaker 2: This is the initial this is the initial twelve.
Speaker 5: Look, there's only three of us. We're the only voters.
Speaker 5: Who are you voting off the island? Tua Golf or
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers Golf.
Speaker 2: I already told you that, but I got I got
Speaker 2: voted down.
Speaker 5: I thought I had created an alliance that was unstoppable.
Speaker 5: You go first, Greg, Well, now I'm confused. I'm I'm
Speaker 5: voting too off.
Speaker 3: I'll vote too off. Good, But Tua will be back on.
Speaker 3: I guarantee it.
Speaker 6: He's got four people coming on so this list, So
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray is going to be on.
Speaker 3: Jordan I said, I'm excited for him to play his way.
Speaker 3: I don't think Rogers stays there the whole year.
Speaker 2: Okay, real quick, who who?
Speaker 5: I'm changing my vote. I'm going back to my list.
Speaker 5: I'm voting Rogers off out of those three. So now
Speaker 5: we're so now we're still maated, we're still MATD only.
Speaker 2: So let's go back to work. So we're now Tu
Speaker 2: and Rogers.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna flip flop like a freaking fish right now.
Speaker 2: Don't you do it? Don't you do?
Speaker 3: Vote Rogers off? It can come on?
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, I'm.
Speaker 5: I on Survivor. I don't know how to play this game.
Speaker 2: What's okay? Real quick?
Speaker 3: I kind of lost the plot, like.
Speaker 2: I don't really know what's going on, like the borderline people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, could work their way back on Kyler, Murray, kirk Cousins, Trevor, Lawrence, Rogers, Rogers.
Speaker 6: Who's gonna be the first one to work on?
Speaker 3: Between Rogers and Kyler? M okay, we're putting them in
Speaker 3: the in the safe raft.
Speaker 2: What about with kirk Cousins in there too.
Speaker 5: I think Caleb's gonna have a chance. I think Gino's
Speaker 5: gonna have a chance. It's almost harder to get on
Speaker 5: the island to start with, then it will be to
Speaker 5: kick off, because it's gonna be hard one once we
Speaker 5: get there to.
Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins will be on.
Speaker 5: There's a big moment for.
Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins, he's got a better team than
Speaker 2: those other guys. What Gino's got a good team?
Speaker 5: What a first episode of Q. Do you feel satisfied?
Speaker 5: I know we got a little confused there at the end.
Speaker 3: I feel scared.
Speaker 2: George did not.
Speaker 6: Right now, she's thinking about like twenty to personnel. She's
Speaker 6: thinking about everything going on. She's knots right now.
Speaker 5: The final list of the players.
Speaker 3: Turns out Quarterback Island is my personal.
Speaker 5: Health on Quarterback Island. Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, Jared Goff,
Speaker 5: Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, Brock Purty, Josh Allen, to a
Speaker 5: tongue of Iloa, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, c J. Stroud,
Speaker 5: and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that's a hell of a list. That's
Speaker 2: a freaking good list.
Speaker 5: It's a hell of a list that we're leaving Justin
Speaker 5: Herbert and Aaron Rodgers off. But I'm looking forward to
Speaker 5: discussing her.
Speaker 3: Quarterback not on it because he has an injury, Greg
Speaker 3: and it's sending people after me.
Speaker 5: It's not a ranking Jordan want to be sure this
Speaker 5: is not a ranking. We're not ranking them. She doesn't
Speaker 5: like rankings, but this was a fun other way. I
Speaker 5: appreciate you guys for being here in the Chris Westling
Speaker 5: Podcast studio got a message from one of Chris's great friends,
Speaker 5: Rosie Laney today. It was fourteen years ago today. She
Speaker 5: had put on her Facebook congratulating Chris Westling for getting
Speaker 5: a promotion at Rootal World, which I remember he was
Speaker 5: elevated to senior editor and their Dynasty Football experts I Chris.
Speaker 5: She sent that right before we came into the Chris
Speaker 5: Wes Podcast. So just thinking of Chris Westling today and
Speaker 5: thinking about Quarterback Island. It's a lot like Tybee Island
Speaker 5: got hakapoos. Yes, yes to Quarterback Island. We will see
Speaker 5: you next time on NFL Down
