1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, it is Wednesday, February twenty second, twenty

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: twenty three. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where

3
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: we're all about bad action boss. It's me your man MG.

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio. Ryan Dennis is

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: on the controls and look, we got free agency stuff

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: to talk about. Florio. I'm excited because today is the

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: start of the Florio Film Festival. We will get to

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: that at the end of the show. Um, just you know,

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: how are you feeling after your first your first big

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: nineties action movie. Watch? I enjoyed it. Um. I will

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: say I almost texted you that night because I know

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: you've referenced this uh with a friend of the show,

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, about how he'll watch any number of TV shows,

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: but like a movie feels like work. When I went

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: to press play on Terminator two and saw that it

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: was two and a half hours, I was like, Oh no,

17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna be hard to get through. And I've

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: thought about it. I was like, if you would asked

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: me to watch two and a half episodes of a

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: TV show right now, I could easily do that. So

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: I realized I very much still fall in that same boat.

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's a weird thing. I guess because the

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: show was broken up into like more bite sized bits.

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: I guess as opposed to a movie. It's I feel

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: like it's definitely a mental thing. And I think because

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I've binge watched so many TV shows, I think I'm

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: transitioning to that. So I gotta shake myself out of

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: that at all. So, but we will talk a little

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: bit of movies at the end of the show, so

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna talk to some football at the

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: beginning of it. So for those of you who okay,

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: no offense if you don't want to hear us talk

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: about action flicks. But we got football heading into that.

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: So let's actually just just dive into that. Because it

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: is free agency time. We are less than a month

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: from the opening of the new league year when free

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: agents can sign with new places. Over the next couple

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: of weeks, we will break down each of the fantasy

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: relevant position. So today it made sense to start with

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks because there are a few interesting names out there.

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I kind of them broken up into three groups. Basically,

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you got your Tier one guys, Tier two, and then

43
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: sort of everybody else. So let's start at tier one,

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: because I mean, why wouldn't you. I got three guys

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: that I basically felt like fall into the tier one category.

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: The first one it's Tom Brady, And yes, I know,

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: he put out the statement that he is retired, that

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: it's for real this time, but Mike, he also sort

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: of left up in a window and that he's not

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: going to take a TV gig until next season. There

51
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: is some rumor mongering out there that maybe he's gonna

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: stay away for a little while, then the itch is

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: going to hit and maybe he comes back to his

54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: hometown team. He's always wanted to play for the forty

55
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: nine ers. He grew up a Joe Montana fan, you know,

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: San Mateo. His hometown is not that far from Santa Clara,

57
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: where the Niners play their home games. San Francisco has

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: some quarterback issues coming up, so it's a simple question.

59
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Is Tom Brady actually done and can we put this

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: all to bed. I want to say yes because it

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: feels more real than a year ago, Like it came

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: out that he actually filed the paperwork this time, which

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: he didn't do last time. But then the year off,

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: right like that is what gives me all of this

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: doubt and part of me when he first said he

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: was taking the year off and he was like, I

67
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: don't want to do anything unless I could be great

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: at it, and I want to just take this time

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: to practice my broadcasting and get really to a place

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: where I'm comfortable with it. I was like, Wow, that

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: is so commendable. Like we normally see people just jump

72
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: in and they collect that paycheck and they're learning on

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: the job, and we always say like, oh, it's tough

74
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: to listen to. Brady doesn't want to be in that category,

75
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: so it's really respectable. But yeah, it leaves open that

76
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: window for him to come back for twenty twenty four

77
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: and play football, especially because the news that brock Purty

78
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: still hasn't been able to get that surgery on his elbow,

79
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: some more inflammation that he's dealing with. The longer that

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: that goes on, the more of a risk he is

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: of not being ready to start this season, And to me,

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: with Trey Lance already coming back from an injury, that

83
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: seems like the perfect landing, Like to me, I think

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: it would be forty nine ers or bus kind of

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: because I think if he wanted to go to the Raiders,

86
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: he would have never retired. So I think it's either

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: forty nine ers or we don't like. How weird would

88
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: it be of a year where we just don't see

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady at all? It would be strange, right, I

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: mean it would be. It's nearly a quarter of a

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: century since Tom Brady wasn't in the NFL, so to

92
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: not see him would be weird. I know. Look, I

93
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: look at this forty nine or team and I see

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: what happened last year, and it's easy to think, if

95
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was the quarterback, this is a super Bowl

96
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: winning team that they even can beat. They beat the Eagles,

97
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: they beat the Chiefs, that this team is good enough

98
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: to win the super Bowl. As much as it's fun

99
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: to talk about, I think it's just a rumor. I

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: think I think what's gonna happen is he's gonna take

101
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: this year off. He's going to reconnect with his family,

102
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, at least spend time with his kids. I

103
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: think he's probably going to work on his broadcasting skills,

104
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: because you know, say what you want about Tom Brady,

105
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: you can never say that he is unprepared for a situation.

106
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: So I really do sort of take him at his

107
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: word that this is a year to kind of decompress

108
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: from twenty three seasons of NFL football and that he

109
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: will really start fresh next year and dive into the

110
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: broadcasting thing. But I do think it's fun to talk about,

111
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and I think, I know, especially in the Bay Area,

112
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of chatter and it's just kind of

113
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: fun bar conversation about what would happen if Tom Brady

114
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: took over as the quarterback of this team. I don't

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: think it's actually going to happen. I think we have

116
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: actually truly seen the last of Tom Brady. I have

117
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory with Tom Brady. I

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: think that last season he actually was stepping away from

119
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: training camp to film the Mess Singer, and then the

120
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: rumor got out and they were like, we can't do

121
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: it this season, so they're using him in the Mess

122
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: Singer this like the season comes out like in a

123
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, he's gonna be in that, and then

124
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like, I'm playing football again this year

125
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: and he's never gonna go away. That would be amazing

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: if if Tom Brady actually showed up on the Mass

127
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Singer this year because that was Remember, we really mapped

128
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: it out right, We mapped the whole thing out, and

129
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: the dates lined up creepily. Well. Ryan has an interesting

130
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: that maybe he was filming eighty for Brady, which is

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: that one even out yet? Has anybody seen it? I

132
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm gonna I haven't seen it, but

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: I know it came out. I haven't really heard many

134
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: people talk about it. I let's see, it got a

135
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: sixty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes. So take that everyone.

136
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: That's actually higher than I think than I imagine it

137
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: would have gotten. So all right, So Tom Brady done

138
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: playing football? Next stop broadcast booth. We'll see how that goes.

139
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he shows up on the Mass Singer in between.

140
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: Then if not, we're just gonna, you know, go on

141
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: to Reddit and see what other theories they have about

142
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: Tom at this point. Um other names, though, that are

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: more likely to be playing football next year. Aaron Rodgers.

144
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: Now technically he is not a free agent, but appears

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: very much to be on the trade block. There in

146
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay. He went into the darkness. He is finding

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: himself yet again this offseason, and we'll see what decisions

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: he has when he emerges from his darkness retreat. But

149
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: for us, it's been a long time. His whole career

150
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: has been in Green Bay. The last couple of years,

151
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: he has been flirting with moving somewhere else. So I'm

152
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: gonna channel the clash and say, should he stay or

153
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: should he go? What is the best fit for Aaron

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers Right now? I think he should go. He's been

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: toying with the idea of leaving for a while now,

156
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: and it finally seems like the Packers are kind of

157
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: on that same page as well, and they have to

158
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: be because they need to know what Jordan love is like.

159
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: He's quickly gonna be his rookie deal is gonna quickly

160
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: be coming up, and they're gonna to decide in the

161
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: fifth year option and all of that, and they haven't

162
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: seen any of him. So I think it's been, especially

163
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: with the Packers, kind of in this weird in between

164
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: state where their roster is good enough to compete and

165
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: maybe even win the Vision, But I think that's like

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: their ceiling. I don't think this is a roster that

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: could go on to make it or win a Super Bowl.

168
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I think his best fit is with the Oakland Raiders.

169
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: It's an offensive minded head coach. He gets reunited with

170
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: Devantay Adams there, and I've actually been making the case

171
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: for the Jets because I know they're very much so

172
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: tied into him as well. If I'm the Jets, I'm

173
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: looking at it as do I want to give up

174
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: the many assets it's going to take me to acquire

175
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: a soon to be forty year old Aaron Rodgers and

176
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: his massively bloated contract that is on the books for

177
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: another three years. Or do I want to just sign

178
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Derek Carr and give him like thirty million and use

179
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: everything else to kind of build up my already really

180
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: strong rosters. So I continue to think Car to the

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Jets Rogers to the Raiders would be the best outcome

182
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: for both teams. Yeah, I mean that that Raider rumor

183
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: is really strong, and I mean it doesn't hurt or

184
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: help whatever when you've got Davanta Adams tweeting about it

185
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: that you know he's got he wants Aaron to move

186
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: into his neighborhood basically and see if they can get

187
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: that thing going again. I don't think going back to

188
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: the Packers works for either side. I know that much where,

189
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: whether it's the Jets, whether it's the Raiders, I just

190
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: don't think it can be Green Bay. I think partially

191
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: for what you said about Jordan's love that they need

192
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: to know. You know, we've talked about that with the

193
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They are trying to figure out what

194
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: they have with Trey Lance. At least with Lance, you

195
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: can sort of chalk it up to, hey, look he

196
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: was injured, and so that sort of took away an opportunity.

197
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: With the Packers, it's just been you've had somebody else,

198
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: you had a Hall of Famers standing in the way,

199
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: and you can't move him out of there. I think

200
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: the Packers are sort of ready to move on. I

201
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: think at this point, if you're if you're Aaron Rodgers,

202
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: you're kind of ready to move on. Those would seem

203
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: to be the two best places because those are the

204
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: two places that have quarterback openings while also still having

205
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: a roster that can be competitive. I mean, sure you

206
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: could go to Houston, but he's not going to go

207
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: to Houston. They're awful right, Like, he's not gonna go.

208
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: He's not gonna go somewhere like that, because you know,

209
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: they don't really have a chance to compete. I don't

210
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: think he's not gonna for the Colts. He could slide

211
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: in for the Colts, but I don't. I don't think.

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: Here's the I think if you're the Colts, the last

213
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: thing you want to do is go with another veteran quarterback.

214
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: You've done it five years in a row and it

215
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out. And look, Rogers is going to be

216
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot better than all the other

217
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: four guys, five guys previous to that. I just don't

218
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: think you want to go with another veteran, especially one

219
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: with a huge contract, uh and have him you kind

220
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: of eat up that that spot right there. So I

221
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: they're fully going to draft the guy, whether they move

222
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: up and get Bryce Young, that's another conversation to be

223
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: had completely. Now, assuming he goes somewhere or even if

224
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: he stays in Green Bay, can he get back to

225
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: being a top ten quarterback last year? He was very

226
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: much not that last season. Was that a fluke or

227
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: is this kind of who Aaron Rodgers is now? I

228
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: think it's kind of who he is. Like, even if

229
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: he returns to being top ten, I think it would

230
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: be very fringe. Like. I don't think he can go

231
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: out there and put up the numbers with forget the

232
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: big three like Alan Hurtzon Holmes are in a tier

233
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: of their own, but even like Burrow and Lamar and

234
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: I'd rather justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, justin Herbert. So after

235
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: like to me, there's a big eight quarterbacks and then

236
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: after that, I think Rogers could fall into be like

237
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: the ninth or tenth quarterback. But he's never gonna be

238
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: what he was in my opinion in those two MVP

239
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: seasons again because even then he was relying on uber efficiency,

240
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: like he needed a league high touchdown rate and like

241
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: a league low interception rate, and it's just hard to

242
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: do that for that long and your margin of error error.

243
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: As we saw last season, that touchdown rate decreases, and

244
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers goes from being, you know, a top six

245
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: or seven fantasy quarterbacks is someone that you don't even

246
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: want to start most weeks. And he's not only did

247
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: you see the touchdown rate go down, you saw the

248
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: interception rate go up significantly as well. And you're right

249
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: that you know those years, I'm just looking at it

250
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: right now. Twenty twenty twenty forty eight touchdowns, five interceptions,

251
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one thirty seven touchdowns, four interceptions. Those are

252
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: Banana's numbers and the fact that he went six, seven, eight, nine,

253
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: ten eleven straight years with single digit interceptions is it's

254
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: mind blowing and it is hard to fathom, especially when

255
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: you don't have a receiver like Davante Adams or you

256
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: didn't yeah before he had, when he had Jordy Nelson,

257
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: when he had these sort of elite level wide receivers,

258
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: which is something he didn't have last year in Green Bay.

259
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: Now you can make the argument that maybe it's better

260
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: if he had spent some time with some of these

261
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: guys and kind of gotten to know them and worked

262
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: out with him and gained a comfort level, and you

263
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: kind of saw that late in the season. But there

264
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: is something to be said for having those guys there

265
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: that you know can make plays, not only you know,

266
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: make the big catches and turn them into big plays,

267
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: but maybe occasionally save you when you make the ac

268
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: asianal bad throw and prevent those from being interceptions as well.

269
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: I think he can kind of get back to the

270
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: top fifteen. I know he's outside the top fifteen. I

271
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: think he can be a top fifteen guy, maybe even

272
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: sort of knock on the door of top twelve. But

273
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you the fact that the idea of him

274
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: being a top three, top five quarterback, I think that's

275
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: probably done. But I would say this putting him in

276
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: New York, Garrett Wilson and those guys kind of interesting.

277
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Having Breeze Hall behind him, I don't know, be an

278
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: interesting look to me. I think Rogers is at the

279
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: point of his career where whatever team he goes to,

280
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna do more for their surrounding players than he

281
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: will for his own fantasy stock, if that makes sense.

282
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Like he has of the Jets like he or the

283
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Raiders like it's stock up for all of their guys,

284
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: but for him not as much. In my opinion, Yeah, no,

285
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: I think I think that's fair. He is that guy

286
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: who's fantasy wise, is probably a QB two, maybe elevates

287
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: the guys around him, but isn't necessarily gonna lift your

288
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: fantasy team to victory. Which seems like a good way

289
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: to transition to Lamar Jackson because he's a guy who

290
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: has done a lot for fantasy. He's done a lot

291
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, but they seem to be at an

292
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: impass right now where they can't really come to an

293
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: agreement on anything. And I think what's telling the reports

294
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: that when they were out looking for an offensive coordinator

295
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: before hiring Todd Monkin from the University of Georgia, that

296
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: they weren't really giving their candidates assurances that Lamar was

297
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: going to be there. Depending on who you listen to,

298
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: their may or may not have been, you know, an

299
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: invitation for Lamar to be involved in the process. It

300
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: just seems like these two sides are really really far apart.

301
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: Now that can't you know, that's something that can't be

302
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: solved Mike with the right amount of money. But at

303
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: the moment as to be sitting here, is it just

304
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: maybe time for Lamar and the Ravens to have a

305
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: conscious uncoupling. I think so because you at the free

306
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: agent quarterbacks and one of them is very much different

307
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: than the other, and it's Lamar Jackson, and it's like,

308
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: how is this guy able to hit free agency? And

309
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: you look at every other elite quarterback and I think,

310
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, whatever you want to say about him, he

311
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: belongs in the upper echelont tier of quarterbacks. Josh Allen

312
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: got an extension before he hit the market, Patrick Mahomes

313
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I mean, we don't see big name quarterbacks

314
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: like this. Like the talk in LA right now is

315
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: we got to sign Justin Herbert soon. In Cincinnati, they're

316
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: already planning around a Joe Burrow extension, Like teams don't

317
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: let their quarterback hit the open market. And Lamar Jackson's

318
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: been asking for a contract for three straight off seasons now,

319
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: so at some point it's like, hey, you had your

320
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: chance to sign him. Lamar Jackson is the Ravens offense,

321
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: like we see it every year when he gets hurt,

322
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: and I the thing I know, people say like, oh,

323
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: well he didn't play through injury. If you want him

324
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: to play through injury secure his future, he will then

325
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe do it. But when he has no contract for

326
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: next season, why would he risk everything for a team

327
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: that clearly doesn't want to risk everything for him in return?

328
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: So I do think that this has kind of ran

329
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: its course, and selfishly for me, as a fan of Lamar,

330
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: I would like to see him go elsewhere because not

331
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: only did I think they've done him wrong, I think

332
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: they've everyone always says, oh, we built a whole system

333
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: around Lamar. It's like you built a running attack, you

334
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't give him anything really in the passing game. Well,

335
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: first off, I just looked up the franchise tag for

336
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks thirty two million, So it would be quite a

337
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: bit under what market value is right now for a

338
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: lot of these quarterbacks out there. I mean, you're talking

339
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: about Derek carrs you know out here, potentially getting forty

340
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: million a year. I would say that I'd rather have

341
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson than Derek Carr. It just feels like these

342
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: two sides have sort of reached an impass and I

343
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: think I think for Lamar, leaving means one of the

344
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: opportunities to make get a better offer from somebody else

345
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: and a chance to maybe put himself in a different situation.

346
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: I think for the Ravens, maybe it does free you

347
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: from an offense that you know has become a little

348
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: bit stale and predictable, and that I don't I'm not

349
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: putting all of that on Lamar Jackson, but having been

350
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: there all those years under Greg Roman and having been

351
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: basically a very heavy running attack, it has become sort

352
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: of something that everybody's seen, and I think it's become

353
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: a little bit easier to defend so maybe this is

354
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: a situation for both sides that it's just better to

355
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: kind of part ways now. Again, if the Ravens decide

356
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: to come up with the ride offer, I'm sure that

357
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: bygones will be bygones and you'll see, you know, Lamar

358
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: Jackson back to the head of the Ravens flock again

359
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: and working things out. But it just does seem like

360
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: we've gotten to a point where these two sides just

361
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: aren't seeing eye and eye about a whole lot of

362
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: different things. And I think the other question is with

363
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: Todd munkin coming in, a guy who wants to be

364
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: more of a vertical passer, a little bit more wide open,

365
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: is Lamar the best fit for that? Um, you know,

366
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: we don't know, and right now there's there's certainly no

367
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: indication that he's going to get a chance that least

368
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: practice with them in the near future. Who knows. But

369
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: it also begs the question have we seen the best

370
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson? Outstanding runner, good, not great passer, hasn't

371
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: necessarily had a ton of weapons around him, And you

372
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: do wonder if the injuries are starting to take a toll,

373
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is this has he hit his ceiling already.

374
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: I think we've seen the best days fantasy wise out

375
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 1: of Lamar um. I think we could easily get like

376
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: a new revamped version of Lamar where he doesn't run

377
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: as much, but he passes more, and he's still really

378
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: really useful for fantasy because the Greg Roman system is

379
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: clearly built on running the ball. There was multiple years

380
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: where like his wide receiver two was like Willie Snead

381
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, what are we doing here? But

382
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen season, I don't think it gets enough

383
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: at it, Like that was the best fantasy season we've

384
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: ever seen by a quarterback. And I know, if you

385
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: go total points, it's Patrick Mahomes in twenty eighteen and

386
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: his past season he broke that record. But in twenty nineteen,

387
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Lamar set the record for most fantasy points per game

388
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: by anyone ever and he sat the final game of

389
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: the season because everything was locked up, and Mahomes has

390
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: beat his record by like two points, so he would

391
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: have shattered that record. I think the twenty nineteen Lamar

392
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Jackson season, in my opinion, I've been playing fantasy since

393
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm in high school, like so a good while. Now,

394
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: it's the best quarterback season that I've ever seen, So

395
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll ever duplicate that, but I

396
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: still think he can be really useful for fantasy purposes.

397
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: So Todd Monkin says he has not had a chance

398
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: to speak to Lamar yet he sentence pluck to any

399
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: of the players of the quote, I'm just trying to

400
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: figure out where I'm headed when I drive to the facilities,

401
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: so that the most relatable thing it really is. I mean,

402
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: he's just trying to figure out, you know, where's the bathroom,

403
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: Where's where do I sit? Oh, my stuff? So I

404
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: get that he's doing all the hr stuff, probably trying

405
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: to get his email account set up in all that

406
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: other cre But but there's going to be a question

407
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: about whether he fits in this offense. And look, I

408
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: think Lamar as a passer. I think there's maybe room

409
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: to grow, but I don't know how much higher the

410
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: ceiling is for him. My concern is that the injuries

411
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: will start to sort of take a toll. And you

412
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: mentioned that he's maybe gonna get to a place where

413
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't run as much. You know, he had those

414
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: back to back thousand yards seasons the last two years

415
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: seven sixty seven seven sixty four, not terrible by any

416
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination, but at some point he's gonna

417
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: have to start to protect himself. Whoever the team is

418
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: he's playing for will want him to protect himself, and

419
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to count on those,

420
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to figure out how to

421
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: supplement that for fantasy purposes, with passing yards, with passing touchdowns.

422
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: Maybe some of that has to him, has to do

423
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: with him going to a place where he's got guys

424
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: to make plays catching the football for him, which is

425
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: not always something he's been able to say, at least

426
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: consistently since he's been in Baltimore. Those are the tier

427
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: one guys over to the tier two guys, and I

428
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: got four guys. I debated with a couple of these

429
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: guys whether or not they've landed in there. But Geno Smith,

430
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: to me, is a full fledged Tier two guy. Had

431
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: an amazing year last year. All signs sort of point

432
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: to him staying in Seattle. He seems to want to

433
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: be there. The Seahawks seemed very pleased to have him

434
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: back there, which, you know, all fairness, this wasn't Geno's

435
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: first year in Seattle. I mean, you know, it was

436
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: the first year he was the starter and he played great,

437
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: but he had been there as the backup for a

438
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: couple of years. But when you look at what happened

439
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: with him this past season, was this the magical season

440
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: or you know, is Gino finally finding himself after all

441
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: these years? I think both things are true. I think

442
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: last year was a magical season. And I continue to say, like,

443
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: there will one day be a Gino Smith movie, and

444
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: people on Twitter we're like, it was one year, and

445
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: I was like, have you watched any sports movie? They're

446
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: always about one year, but they're not covering a decade

447
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: worth of stuff. But I think if he returns to

448
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Seattle and my thing, he continues to be like, I

449
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: don't see what either side would want this to end.

450
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: I think Gino Smith his best landing spot is Seattle,

451
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: and I think for Seattle their best quarterback option is

452
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Geno Smith, So I think they should they should both

453
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: want to run this back and Gino I don't know

454
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: if he'll duplicate what he did this year where he

455
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: leads the league in like multi passing touchdown games and

456
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: stuff like that, but I could certainly, I definitely think

457
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Gino Smith will be fantasy relevant either as a low

458
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: end QB one high end QB two. Right now, I

459
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: think he deserves to be in the QB one conversation.

460
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: And most importantly, he's gonna keep dk metcalf Afloat and

461
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett and all those receivers that are awesome for

462
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: fantasy who last year we were super worried about. He

463
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: kept them just as good as they were with Russell Wilson.

464
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: I think I think he absolutely does. Um Ryan ask

465
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: Seahawks drafted five, any chance they go quarterback? I mean,

466
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: I guess there's a chance, but I don't I don't

467
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: expect it, especially because I mean we'll see who's who's

468
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: on the board. I mean, the top three guys are

469
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: probably going to be gone by the time it gets

470
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: to five, and Anthony Richardson at that spot is a

471
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: major leap. So I think they are going to tie

472
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: themselves to Gino Smith. I don't think that's an awful thing,

473
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: and especially because Gino's not going to command the kind

474
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: of salary numbers that a lot of the other quarterbacks

475
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: out there are. I mean, he's not You're not gonna

476
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: have to pay him Rogers or Lamar Jackson. You're gonna

477
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: paying him Derek Carr or Daniel Jones money. I don't

478
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: think at this point he could be that guy that

479
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: helps them really rebuild. And you know, I don't know

480
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: how close they are necessarily being a true Super Bowl contender.

481
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: But you get a guy like Gino Smith who can

482
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: move your offense and help you be productive, and you

483
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: get him at a relative bargain price, you can do

484
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot around him in terms of shoring up

485
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: that defense, building along the offensive line, helping add at

486
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: skill positions where you need help. I think, you know,

487
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if Gino gives you the same level

488
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: of numbers that he did last year, but I don't

489
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: think he goes back to being that guy that that

490
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: sort of flamed out with the Jets all those many

491
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, I think another four thousand yards

492
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: season is possible. Another you know, twenty five touchdowns is

493
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: certainly possible, and I think that's all you kind of

494
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: need if you're Seattle right now, just somebody who's not

495
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: gonna muck it up. I think that's why Gino Smith

496
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: can be. My thinking with the draft picks is like,

497
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: do you want to really hit the reset button with

498
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: the oldest head coach in the NFL when you were

499
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: a playoff team last year, or do you want to

500
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: use that pick at five and at twenty. The Seahawks

501
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: have drafted extremely well in past years. If you could

502
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: add another big player on defense or two something like that,

503
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: you could easily be in the playoffs again next season.

504
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean happened, but you can make the argument that

505
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: they could have had the offensive and defensive rookies of

506
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: the year with Kenneth Walker and Tarique Wollen. You know,

507
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: it's certainly it's certainly an argument that's worth having Derek

508
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: Carr next on the list, And obviously we know he

509
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: secured his release from the Raiders. He is a freeman.

510
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: He has met with the Saints, he has met with

511
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: the Jets. Derek Carr has sort of been to that

512
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: guy that has just been a fringe QB one last

513
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: year he was kind of a mid to low end

514
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: QB two I think at times. But when he's right,

515
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: he's not a bad quarterback fantasy wise. Can he be

516
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: a QB one in the right situation. I don't think so.

517
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: I've never been a huge Derek car guy. He doesn't

518
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: give you anything with his legs. He's not the most

519
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: prolific passer in the league. Even at his best. He's

520
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: like a low end quarterback one. I'm guessing he will

521
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: be more of a QB two that will have some

522
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: good like Spike Weeks. I think a lot of what

523
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: I said for Aaron Rodgers applies to Derek Carr in

524
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: the sense that, like, I don't think he gets a

525
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: huge boost, but like if he goes to New York,

526
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 1: it's all systems go for Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore. Um.

527
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: My thing is like, if he doesn't go to the Jets,

528
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: I am the Saints maybe, Like I don't know really

529
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: where he would end up. Yeah, that's that's a good question.

530
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: And the Saints would have to do a lot of

531
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: creative accounting unless unless Carr really wants to take a

532
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: major pay cut, and I don't know why he would.

533
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't advise it. The Saints are well

534
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: over the salary cap, so they would have to do

535
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of finagling to get Derek Carr in there.

536
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 1: And on top of it, aside from Chris Olavea, who's

537
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: there that really excites you as a pass catcher in

538
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: that offense, there's really nobody, um you know, Alvin Kamara

539
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: one is getting a little bit older, was not used

540
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: in the offense the same kind of way. Also has

541
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: some pendle a pending legal issues that could cause a

542
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: problem when it happens, if something were to happen next season.

543
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of questions there. In New Orleans,

544
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are possibly a better fit for him,

545
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: and again, those are the only places that I think

546
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: would sort of work out. Indianapolis again, I think they

547
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: go young. I think I think it's smarter for them

548
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: to go with a draft pick and go young at

549
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: quarterback and try to build from there. Again, Houston needs

550
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: a lot of help. I don't think if you're Derek

551
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: Carr and you're trying to be competitive and you're trying

552
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: to play to get into the playoffs and potentially a

553
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl, Houston's not going to be the place for you.

554
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: So you are sort of limited. Hnthers Carolina say Carolina

555
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: is an option, but I feel like they're gonna go young,

556
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: like with like a rookie or something like that. I

557
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: would say, look if he if he shows up in Carolina.

558
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: He is immediately the best quarterback in that division. He's

559
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the NUT I would I would

560
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: pick because they have a good roster. The Panthers, I

561
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: would pick them to win that division. Oh absolutely with

562
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: Derek car they are they are, They are the best

563
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: team in the NFC South. Um. But yeah, there's just

564
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: there's just not a lot of places that I think

565
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense for him. It very well

566
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: could be the Jets when it's all said and done. Um.

567
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's enough to make him a

568
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: QB one, But I'm with you. I like Garrett Wilson

569
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot more if Derek car is there. While

570
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: we're telling about the NFC South real quick, I've already

571
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: seen people start saying, oh, well, if Brock Purdy could

572
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: be good, maybe Kyle Trust could be really good. Stop that. Nope,

573
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: not doing it. Yeah, I'm not doing that either. Daniel

574
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: Jones and Damie Joe's gonna get the bag, probably from

575
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: the Giants, but maybe from somebody else. Had his best

576
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: season as a pro. Credit to Brian Dabole for helping

577
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: turn him around. Have we seen the best of him?

578
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Or is there more ceiling for him to reach. I

579
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: think there's room for improvement, and it's it's I don't

580
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: know if it's necessarily with him. I think you have

581
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: to put more playmakers around him because what he did

582
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: this past season with sae Quon Barkley and then a

583
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes off the street was insanely impressive, and

584
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: the Giants have a lot of cap It was funny.

585
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: I was listening to some show and they were like,

586
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: they have to renegotiate Kenny Galladay's contract because there's still

587
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 1: too much talent here to let him walk. And I

588
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: was like, you've watched the different Kenny Galladay than I have,

589
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: but you can save a bunch of money by getting

590
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: rid of him, Like I think, I think that's to me.

591
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: I struggled to see where Daniel Jones could sign that

592
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: would be a better fit for him, because I think

593
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: what Brian Dabele has done for him has been tremendous

594
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: and I don't want to see him leave Brian Dable,

595
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: but I think the Giants need to do a better

596
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: job of putting playmakers around him. That has to be

597
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: priority number one. I mean, they've got to find some

598
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: guys to catch the football. I mean, Darius Slayton is

599
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: a nice player, but he's he's not a wide receiver

600
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: one for anybody's roster. You know. Isaiah Hodgens is back.

601
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: I think he's he was a nice story at the

602
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: end of the season, but again, he's not necessarily a

603
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: game chain. They need somebody there. I mean, Kenny Golladay

604
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: was straight up a bust for the Giants. Sterling Shepherd

605
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: has had problems staying healthy over the last couple of years.

606
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: They just need somebody who can catch the football and

607
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: maybe that'll help Jones get a little bit better. I

608
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: get the feeling that whoever signs him, and again it's

609
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the Giants for a good amount of money.

610
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that's gonna just put them sort of

611
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: in handcuffs, because you're gonna spend a lot of money

612
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: and you're gonna eat up a lot of salary cap

613
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: for a guy who is good but not a game changer.

614
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: He's not an elite guy who's going to get you

615
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: over the hump. So I think for real football, this

616
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: is this is sort of the worst case scenario for

617
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: the Giants. If you're gonna spend a lot of money

618
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: on a guy who at best is kind of mid

619
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: and maybe hamstring your ability to build around him. We'll see,

620
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: and I think for fantasy, I think what we saw

621
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: from him last year, maybe there's slight room for improvement.

622
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how much better he's going to get

623
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: because at some point and he's not going to run

624
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: for his many yards. I don't know that he's going

625
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: to be a big time passer either. Um he was,

626
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: he was QB nine last year. I feel like that's

627
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: that's about. That's about the ceiling. I think we're Daniel.

628
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: I think so too. Yeah, I think that's it. Um.

629
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: Last one here, Jimmy Garoppolo, who you know, two years

630
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: ago got the Niners to the NFC Championship Game. Looked

631
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: like he was gone. They kept him around because they

632
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: couldn't find a deal. Trey Lance gets hurt, Garoppolo steps in,

633
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: plays admirably until he gets hurt, and then you know,

634
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: you know the story, brock Purty takes them the rest

635
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 1: of the way. I'm gonna say that the marriage between

636
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: the Niners and Garoppolo is officially done. He's not coming back,

637
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: but can he find a starting gig in twenty twenty three,

638
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: I think so um for me, the what I think

639
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: makes the most sense for Jimmy G. I continue to say,

640
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: I think if the Raiders don't get Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy

641
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: G feels like a strong backup plan for them there

642
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: because they need someone. Um. And besides that, the Panthers

643
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: I think make a lot of sense. The one thing

644
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: about Jimmy G you always hear is how he's so

645
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: great to coach and and everything. I think him and

646
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: Frank Reich would make a lot of sense, especially because

647
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: at number nine, if he falls or if they trade up.

648
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I really could see the Panthers grabbing Anthony Richardson and

649
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: being like, hey, Frank Reich, we're gonna let you teach

650
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: this kid and the whole first year he's not gonna play.

651
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy G's the bridge quarterback. He Richardson can learn from

652
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: Reich and Jimmy G and then take over next year.

653
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Because that the Panthers, that's one thing that they were

654
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: very vocal when they hired Frank Reich is saying like

655
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: he never got a chance to really develop his own quarterback.

656
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: It was always veterans that he was handed. So I

657
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna put him in that exact same scenario,

658
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: and Jimmy g being a bridge and like a mentor

659
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: to say, like an Anthony Richardson is something that makes

660
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: some sense to me, That does make some sense. Raiders,

661
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: I think, is the one that jumps out at me

662
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: the most slides in there. I mean, it's one because

663
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't really completely understand what the Raiders are doing

664
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: in terms I don't I don't completely understand what they're

665
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: doing in terms of RUSS they're building. Um, you know,

666
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: obviously they tried to go for it with the Vontae

667
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: Adams that didn't work out. Why not try to bring

668
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: in another veteran quarterback and see what you can do.

669
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: But you know the problem is you're stuck in a

670
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: division with the the fending Super Bowl champions and the

671
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: Chargers who are very much a very competitive, very good

672
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: football team that automatically sort of blocks your path potentially

673
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So I don't know, but maybe they

674
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: go out and feel feel like Garoppolo is that guy

675
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: who at least can keep the seat warm for a

676
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: couple of years until they figure out what their long

677
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: term plan is at quarterback. Either way, not drafted him

678
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. I know that much. So um take

679
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: a quick break. Come back, we'll talk about the rest

680
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: of the free agent market on the quarterback side, at

681
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: least spoiler alert it ain't great. Then we have Flourido

682
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: Film Festival. We'll dive in talk a little terminator too.

683
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: It's coming up after the break here on the NFL

684
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Podcast. So looking at the rest of the

685
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: quarterback free agency market, there are a lot more names

686
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: out there. I picked a handful that maybe would possibly

687
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: generate some interest in no particular order. Baker Mayfield, Taylor Heinick,

688
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: Mike White, Sam Donald, Gardner, Minshew. I guess you could

689
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: maybe throw a Teddy Bridgewater in there if you like.

690
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Those are sort of the best of the rest. Any

691
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: names that jump out here as having any potential fantasy

692
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: relevance in twenty twenty three. I don't think any one

693
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: of them will be like someone that you want to

694
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: start each week or so, but I could certainly see

695
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: them getting either spot starts or like I could see

696
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: if Jimmy g doesn't sign with the Panthers in the

697
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: scenario I explained earlier, like Sam Donald has already got

698
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: gotten some hype about maybe returning there on a one

699
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: year deal. It seems like the league will never close

700
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: the book on Baker Mayfield, so I wouldn't be surprised

701
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: if he gets invited somewhere. And Taylor Heineke is the man.

702
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: He came out and he said, yeah, I want to start,

703
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: but being a backup quarterback is the best job in America.

704
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: And I was just like, I love this guy. Gardner

705
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: Minshew always gets some hype. What I really think is

706
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: gonna happen, Marcus is I think some of the teams

707
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: who swing and miss on the bigger name quarterbacks are

708
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna end up bringing in like two of these guys

709
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: and just letting them battle it out in camp. And

710
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: I also think a lot of them will be like

711
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: the higher paid backups, like Miami's backup it whether that's

712
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: Teddy or someone else like that guy will get paid

713
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: pretty well, and so we'll see they'll be like if

714
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: they don't get starting opportunities, they'll be the bigger name backups.

715
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: I think, right, Gardner Minshew was one that popped out

716
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: at me. And maybe that's just recency bias, because it

717
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: always seems like he shows up somewhere late in the

718
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: season and everybody gets really fired up about him all

719
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: over again. You know. I mean remember talk last season was, hey,

720
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is a system guy. You can plug Gardner

721
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Minshew and it'll be fine. And then the Eagles promptly

722
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: went on too with Gardner minsheu at quarterback. Everybody's like,

723
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Janen Hurts is good to football. Who knows. Um,

724
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Baker Mayfield will never never quite die

725
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: across across the NFL. Yeah, none of these guys I

726
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: think are going to be more than sort of seat

727
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: fillers anywhere. Um, you know, Heiniky, Mike White, those guys

728
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: are probably destined to be back up somewhere. Uh. You know,

729
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the forty nine ers reach

730
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: out to one or more of these guys after their

731
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: quarterback situation last year, knowing that they're gonna have to

732
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: have a quality veteran backup. So I wouldn't be surprised

733
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: if if you see John Lynch break off a phone

734
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: call to one of these guys that possibly bring them

735
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: in here. But um achieves none of these guys excite me,

736
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: free agency wise or fantasy wise. I just don't Yeah,

737
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: I don't see it. Um there. It is those that

738
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: is the quarterback free agency markets. We will see starting

739
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: in a few weeks, where some of these guys go

740
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: what what kind of money they command and what it

741
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: means for fantasy, not only for them, but for the

742
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: guys potentially they will be playing with and wherever they

743
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: decide to stay. It. Time now for the premiere of

744
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: Florio's film festival. If you have been with us, you

745
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: know than Michael and Florio not a big movie watcher.

746
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: So we are going to spend this summer getting him

747
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: up to speed on some of the important cinema that

748
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: he has missed during his young life. This summer, our

749
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: theme is going to be nineties action movies, and I

750
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: felt like what better way to kick off the nineties

751
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: action movie theme than with arguably the biggest action movie

752
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: of all time, certainly the biggest nineties action movie, Terminator

753
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: two Judgment Day, directed by James Cameron, released July seventh,

754
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, on a budget of one hundred and

755
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: two million dollars, which was insane for nineteen ninety one.

756
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: It grossed five hundred and twenty million worldwide. It is

757
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartz's highest grossing film, and case you haven't seen it,

758
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: spoiler alert. The quick synopsis of it is that in

759
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: the future, the robots have taken over, the humans are

760
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: fighting back, and in an effort to crush quash all

761
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: that the human resistance, a Terminator is sent back in

762
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: time to kill the leader of the resistance, a boy

763
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: named John Connor. But the human sinback a Terminator as well,

764
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was designed to be John Connor's protector. Basically,

765
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: two of them fight it out in a battle of

766
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: good versus evil. So, Floria, first, your first impressions of

767
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Terminator two after you took it in and had it

768
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: blow your mind. I enjoyed it a lot. Um It

769
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: was very nineties, which I enjoyed, like the hairstyles and stuff.

770
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, that is very nineties. But I

771
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: think they did a really good job because I said

772
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: it on the last podcast I hadn't seen the first one,

773
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: Like they did a good job of giving you that

774
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: backstory and explaining it without really like making it drag

775
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: out or anything like that. So I thought that was

776
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: really cool. I will say the bad guy as awesome,

777
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 1: like as his abilities are, I was like, he's half

778
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: the size of Arnold Schwartzenegger. Like, I think it would

779
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: have been hard to find someone who looked like a

780
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: physical threat to Arnold Schwartzenegger at that time. But for

781
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: most of the movie, Arnold Schwartzenegger is just is winning

782
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: the fight until the very end when they have that

783
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: that last like and you're like, oh, wow, Arnold Schwartzenegger

784
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: just got his you know what kicked and and his

785
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: light his eyes go out and stuff like that part

786
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: was really cool. But for most of the movie, I

787
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not even worried about him. All right,

788
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: He's in good hands with Arnold Schwartzenegger. Which is so

789
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: funny because having seen it in the theater, I'm like,

790
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: this dude is a badass because he's so small. And

791
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: I know that you're having read a bunch of notes

792
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: and stuff about the movie. Part of the idea was

793
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: that they wanted the T one thousand Robert Patrick to

794
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: look like somebody who could blend in in everyday society,

795
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: and so you didn't want him to be this big, huge,

796
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: bulky guy. And I just remember seeing it and thinking,

797
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: this dude can shape shift, he can walk through iron bars.

798
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, this dude is absolutely terrifying. You can't kill him.

799
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: When you break him apart, like all his pieces come

800
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: back together again. Um. It was. It was maybe the

801
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: scariest villain I think I'd ever seen at that point.

802
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: I love it. You're like, whatever, man, he's not Arnold

803
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: Like yeah, because for like their first three fights, like

804
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: when they actually fight like Arnold Schwarzenegger wins, it's the

805
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: other guys like in a truck and stuff, and that's

806
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: when he's in danger. But the thing I was wondering

807
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: for the whole movie, like, how can they actually like

808
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwartzeneger could out fight him, sure, but how are

809
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 1: they actually gonna beat this guy? Because one he just

810
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: keeps on coming and two he's the fastest runner ever.

811
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean he's like chasing down cars like

812
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: he's on foot and chasing down cars. You know, they're

813
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: moving fifty sixty miles an hour. Um so yeah, eventually

814
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: if they figure out again spoil this movie's thirty years old,

815
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say spoiler alert anymore. Right, Um, yes,

816
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: they take him to a foundry, a factory, and eventually

817
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: just melt him in a giant vat of you know,

818
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: molten steel, and that is the end of the T

819
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: one thousand. But yeah, he gave them fits. Man, He

820
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: gave Arnold fitz for a while until they figured out

821
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: how to make it happen. When they were I for,

822
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what like that whatever the machine is

823
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: that it's like slamming his head repeatedly. I was like,

824
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: oh man, this can end up bad. After all, it

825
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: ended up it sort of ended up badly, and of course,

826
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: you know you. In the end, Arnold has to sacrifice

827
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: himself because he is the last chip of the Skynet

828
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: system that is threatening to destroy the world, hints the

829
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: title Judgment Day, and so helped protect the world. Not

830
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: just John Connor. Arnold has to be lowered into the

831
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: vat of melted steel. Gives you the thumb up at

832
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: the end to low Key. One of my favorite parts

833
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 1: is when John is like, no, you can't go stay

834
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: with us. I'm like, listen, I understand he's been a

835
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: huge part of your life as of late, but like,

836
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: do you want the terminator to just be your friend

837
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: and come hang out and like watch TV with you?

838
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: Like that? Like that would have been weird fast. That

839
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: would have been like a really great robot chicken sketch

840
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: where it's just John Connor and the Terminator, like hanging

841
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: out eating popcorn on the couch, you know, chilling watching

842
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: a movie or something like that. Yeah, it's sort of weird, right,

843
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: Like this half robot with a busted up face. You

844
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: can't really you can't really just parade around Los Angeles

845
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: with him. You can't really parade around anywhere because you're

846
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: wanted by the authorities for mayhem, murder, blowing up buildings,

847
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: all sorts of things. I did appreciate it even more

848
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: now living in LA I think, because like there's a

849
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: scene where they're on like Sepulvida, and I'm like, I

850
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: know they're like, so I just appreciate LA movies in

851
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: general even more now. That's the best part about movies

852
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: about Los Angeles. When you live here, You're like, I

853
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: know where that is or I wonder where that is

854
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: sort of thing, and you can you can see a

855
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of spots. Um, do you have any unanswered questions

856
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: after after the movie? I had one, Um, when they

857
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: kill the dude who um builds like the sky? Yes, yes, yes,

858
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: they kill him to change the timeline. I was like,

859
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't that get rid of the Terminators, like if you

860
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: kill their creator before they were built, but they just

861
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: kept on being there. That's a good question. It's it's

862
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: sort of the grandfather paradox, right of Yeah, the whole

863
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: time travel paradox. If you go back and you kill

864
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: your own grandfather, then technically you would be killing yourself

865
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: because you would never be born. Uh, that's a fair question. Actually,

866
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: if if if they if they kill Miles Dyson. Huh.

867
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: I thought that's how it was gonna end. Originally, like

868
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: they were gonna kill him since they couldn't kill the Terminators.

869
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh no, they just keep

870
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 1: on Yeah, no't they just keep going. At that point,

871
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: Miles Dyson blows himself up and the world sort of

872
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: keeps on going. By the way. Denzel Washington was an

873
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: approach to do that role, and he said after he

874
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: read the script, he said, you know, all that guy

875
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: does is like scream and sweat the whole time. He's like,

876
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think I want to do that.

877
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: They're not to get dark. There was one line where

878
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: they were like, oh humanity, all you guys you have

879
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: a knack for destroying your or whatever. And I was like,

880
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: oh no, I mean that's too real for me. He's

881
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: not wrong, really really not wrong. A couple other fun

882
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: facts about Terminator to first film to break three hundred

883
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: million dollars at the international box office, and the phrase

884
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: asta la vista baby. For the Spanish language version of

885
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: the movie, they changed it to sianara baby so that

886
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: it keeps a little bit of humor intact, because I guess,

887
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, if he just says losta lavista, it's it's

888
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: not funny in Spanish, because that's just the thing people say.

889
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: I was like Leonardo DiCaprio and uh, once upon a

890
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: time in Hollywood when he said the line, I'm like

891
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: pointing at this, he said it, he said it. I

892
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: truly thought it was gonna come at like the very

893
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: end of the movie. So when he says it in

894
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: like the middle, I was like, Oh, I did not

895
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: expect it to come here. Yeah, exactly. So it's kind

896
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: of throws you off. So in the end, uh, your

897
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: your review of it thumbs up, thumbs down. Would you

898
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: would you watch again? Yes? I would watch it again. Um.

899
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good. I thought a lot

900
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: of acts. So what I was I was talking to

901
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: my friend about it last night and I said, I

902
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: think I would have appreciated it even more if I

903
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: saw it around its time and release, or closer to it,

904
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: because now I know at its time like it was groundbreaking,

905
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: but now compared to the CGI, it doesn't hold up

906
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: in that regard. But where it does hold up is

907
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: most action movies. Now I feel like just rely purely

908
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: on CGI and there's really no storyline, or if there

909
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: is a story, it's very like there's plot holes and

910
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: it doesn't always make the most sense. Like Terminator two

911
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: had a really good storyline and really good characters that

912
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: are easy to root for and stuff, and I really

913
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Would definitely watch it again. And I understand

914
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: why it was as popular as it was because in

915
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: the early nineties, I'm sure it was like completely groundbreaking.

916
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: It was completely groundbreaking, and it made it broke all

917
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 1: sorts of records. It was incredibly amazing and as somebody

918
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: who saw it in the theater, I can tell you

919
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: it warped my fourteen year old mind. So that's why

920
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: this is going to be fun. Next week should be

921
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: a lot of fun too. The selection for next week

922
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: is Speed, which you were telling me before the show.

923
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: You have a friend in town who suggested you guys

924
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: watch it anyway, just unsolicited, not even connected to this.

925
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: So we will watch Speed. Another LA movie. Two Arnold

926
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: Schwartzenegger movies. I have very much have seen. Jingle All

927
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: the Way is one of the best Christmas movies ever made,

928
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: I think, and I know it gets made fun of

929
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: so much. But the Mister Freeze, Batman and Robin came

930
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: out when I was like five or six years old,

931
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: and I watched that movie all the time as a kid.

932
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: All Right. He said he've never played another villain after

933
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: playing the Terminator, but he ended up playing Mister Freeze

934
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: and they only made him say ice lines. That was terrible.

935
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: It was terrible. But so next week we'll watch Speed.

936
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 1: It is an LA movie starring Keanu Reeves at a bus.

937
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's the movie that I've seen in a

938
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: theater more times than any other movie ever in a theater,

939
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: So looking forward to that should be a lot of fun.

940
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll have more free Agency stuff talk next
