<v Speaker 1>l E k n A e b l e twice Yes,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Kannabily, Look, I know what it's like, have to

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>transition people, look, teach people about a tough last name. Yeah,

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm familiar Knebel. He's a tricky one. It is a

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit everyone. It's the either the naval like I

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>called Evil kanevl in like elementary school. Yeah, you didn't

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>even know what that meant that. Yeah, Yes, Evil Knevel

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>was for my time for the most part. Honestly, don't

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>even know what time he was. He was mid seventies, okay, Yes,

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>stunt daredevil guy. Yes, yeah, we're not talking about Yes, well,

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>some some people would say that there's evil. There's plenty

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>of evil in Derek Carr. Yeah, if you've drafted in

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>for your fantasy teams, you've had middling production every year.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>But he's like four thousand yards every year, twenty eight

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns every year, you know, twenty two, it's actually the

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>high in twenty three, twenty five, twenty eight touchdowns every year.

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>He's not you know, he certainly hasn't lived up to

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>his draft status. Speaking of draft status, where is he

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>going in drafts right now? For early drafts for this

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>coming year? Right now, he is the QB twenty about

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>round ten or eleven. It's funny because he was the

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>QB twenty in points per game last year. So in yeah,

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in theory, you could just be do you like a

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>situation better or do you like it worse than the Raiders?

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I like it worse. Although you know, Chris

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>A Lobby is going to be very good. Rashidch Heat's

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty exciting. Juwan Johnson's got some upside, scout some young

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 1>players to build around. I agree. I just think that

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>are they better than one he had with the Raiders

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>because right now, I mean, if we break down his

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two season, we kind of use the some

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>of the stats with with Mariota and a couple episodes ago,

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>but he had the seventh worst on target percentage among

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two quarterbacks, the fifth worst poor percentage throws

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>four throws percentage, and then the only guys that finished

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 1>better than him were quarterbacks like Mariota, Zack Wilson, Davis Mills,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz. None of like the guys you expect like

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>they were better than him or worse. There they were worse.

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>They were worse than him. Yeah, they were worse than

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>him in that stat There was no guys like Patrick Mahomes.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.679
<v Speaker 1>There was no guys. No, That's what I'm saying, Like

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the stat's a good stat because there

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>was no one that you wouldn't expect to see that

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>eye on the things. The guys who were all worse

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in poor throw percentage than Derek Car We all guys

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>who got benched at some point last year. Yes, Mariota, Wilson, Mills,

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and Wentz all guys that got benched exactly, which says plenty.

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Derek Cart technically kind of got benched at the end

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of the year too. It was it was for salary

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>cap reasons. They didn't want to guarantee his contract. But

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you can understand why coming off a surprising number of

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>interceptions last year, which ties into this too. Yeah, he

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>had the most interceptions of his career in twenty twenty

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>two and twenty twenty one, so he's not gotten better

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>in the past couple of years. He also the worst

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>completion percentage since his rookie season at sixty point eight percent. Yeah,

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not good and it's not like because when I

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>was thinking about it was like, the Raiders don't have

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a very good old line do that went to PF.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Raiders allowed the tenth least sacks out of their eighty team, surprising,

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>and they posted the ninth best pass blocking grade per PF.

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's not like he had a terrible offensive support

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>into Pro Football Focus, right, And he also had Josh

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Jacobs last year who had the best season of his career.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>So you'd like to think that Josh Jacobs would at

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>least taken to me off him exactly. And Adams, right,

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And Derek and Darren Waller and Darrell who has hurt

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, Hunter Renfroell hurt a little bit, but

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>he's still like Davanta Adams and Josh Jacobs a good line. Like,

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you put any other quarterback in that situation,

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 1>they might have done a little better. Right. I think

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you're probably right about that. You can dump off to

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara, but dude just doesn't look like he used to.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And I and his legal status, that thing is, that

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 1>thing could end up being trickier than people realize. Yeah,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it doesn't It does not right now, doesn't look

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>necessarily great. Um. Also, you got a factor and I

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>think a little bit with Derek carrt this stupid Taysom

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Hill thing. Yeah, Taysom Hill is good for a lot

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>of red zone production. I would say he's gonna take

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>at least four to five touchdowns a season like that,

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>that's guaranteed. We say, Alvin Kamara owners know that basically

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to take some touchdowns. And if we just

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of look over all at the same situation, I

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>feel like a lave is like really the only piece

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you can feel like great about. I guess Michael Thomas too,

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>depending on where you're at. Shockingly, they're bringing back Michael Thoms.

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Didn't gotta be done with that guy by now, but no,

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 1>they're breaking him back. He looks okay when he's on

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the field last year. I mean I remember Week one

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>he had two touchdowns against my Falcons, So yeah, I

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>know he looked okay, but he is he gonna be

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>on the field. He hasn't been on the field in

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the past three years, virtually, not at all for three

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>years exactly. So I'm you mentioned the Kamara thing. Get

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the suspension was also not twenty nineteen anymore. Their old

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>line is seemingly worse. Saints had the sixth worst PPF

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>pass blocking grade and finished about the middle of the the

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>packinsack a lot, So he's not getting a better situation

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 1>with the Saints for in terms of offensive line their

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>offensive play calling is probably gonna be worse. I can't

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who. I don't even know who the

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.280
<v Speaker 1>offensive coordinator is for the Saints. I kindly gonna better

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>than Josh McDaniels, who, I mean, we know what Josh

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.119
<v Speaker 1>McDaniels is at this point. Their weapons are overall worse.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned the taste mil thing. So yeah, now

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>car is a better deep ball passer than Andy Dalton

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>was and LaVey and Rashishi Head. I mean there those

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>are some downfield fast receivers, so I think he can

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>unlock some of those big plays. Um and i'd like

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to see I'm optimistic about Derek Carr that way. But

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you ask me right now, given that

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>he's going in round ten eleven his quarterback twenty, I

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>could take Anthony Richardson today, not knowing what his landing

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>spot's gonna be or even if you'll start this year,

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>or Derek Carr. I think I would take Richardson, And

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>there's a bunch of other you know, there's a bunch

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of other quarterbacks I think that I I think I'd

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>rather have at this stage than necessarily try get your

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, your twenty five touchdowns out of Derek car

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>every year. Yeah. So there's a lot of notable quarterbacks

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.799
<v Speaker 1>going after him in draft. So i'll read off the quarterback.

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>You tell me if you would take him, okay, right now,

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>over Derek Carr, Bryce Young? Yeah, not knowing landing spot

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>not yet. Um, yes, I think I would. I think

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>he could. I think Bryce Young in the in the

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 1>right spot. It well, he'll be pick one or two

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>probably right. He also presents rushing upside that Derek Carr

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>just does not have whatsoever. Yeah, at least, yes, at

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>least some Yeah, I think that's a yes. Yep, all right,

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm in. I'm in on Bryce Young, Maddie Stafford. Can

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford just tell us if he's gonna quit the

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>game of football or not. I wanted to come out

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and say I'm definitely coming back because we haven't heard

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>that yet and they're gutting this Rams team. I don't know.

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm for me, it's it's probably still Stafford, Cup. Yes,

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that's that's all you need. I need Cup to come

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>back healthy, but hopefully you will. Yeah, okay, I'll take Stafford,

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>all right. CJ. Stroude. Let's say he goes to the

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Panthers at one. I don't get a lot of the

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>rushing production out of Stroud, but I like the passing.

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>But he's gonna be on one of two pretty weaponless teams. Yeah,

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go no on Stroud. Okay,

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Pikett, No zero interest in Kenny Pickett, not Kenygain. No,

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>he showed he did. Hey, dude, could you throw two

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in a game? Is that really too much to ask?

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Because he's never done it? Yeah, he's got some weapons too,

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 1>he does. Yeah, all right, last one, Jordan Love. Yeah,

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>and they could go Jordan Love on the Unknown and

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>just hope he's better. Yeah, yep, as a what is

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the fourth year, fourth year first time starter? Yeah, I
