Hopefully everyone had 34 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: an enjoyable Monday free agency with pretty Nuts. I'm recording 35 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: this is about eight thirty at night, and I've waited. 36 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: I recorded a large part of it during the day, 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: but I waited to see if something happened with Rogers, 38 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, I'm not gonna stay up 39 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: all night and just wait on this. So if news 40 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: breaks about Aaron Rodgers tomorrow, I will include that on 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: the Go Low podcast on Wednesday, especially because this week's 42 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: not a great golf tournament week, even though actually some 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: guys are playing. But so anything happens with Rogers, I 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 1: will give my thoughts on that, you know, in terms 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: of the meat on the trade, I'll touch on a 46 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: little bit coming up, but the meat of the trade 47 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: on Wednesday's podcast. Me and Kaward did a long one 48 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's why I didn't have anything yesterday. But yeah, 49 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff happened. We will dive into it. All. 50 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Been a wild day, I mean, fast and furious. The 51 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: NFL's king for a reason. It was pretty enjoyable. Uh 52 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: not that I agreed with most of the deals, but 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: it's just it's just cool to see and uh yeah, 54 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: So the plan is today reacting to everything not Rogers 55 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: and Wednesday Golf podcast potentially Roger's thoughts on there, and 56 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: then obviously another pod on Friday.

Let's rock and roll 98 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: a baby speaking of March madness. That's essentially what today was. 99 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: Now I have waited. It is almost eight thirty Pacific 100 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: Standard time. I'm not just gonna wait up all night 101 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: because the biggest story in the league has been this 102 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: Roger scenario. I assumed, like everyone else you know in 103 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: the league, it would happen today. Now it's hard for 104 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: me to have some crazy take right now. He's being selfish, 105 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: he's being a drama queen. He wants Tuesday to himself. 106 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: He wants Tuesday to himself. I don't know. I mean, 107 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: maybe I will have that take once we get all 108 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 1: the information, whenever the dust settles. Isn't a little weird 109 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers if you're listening to this and it's happened, 110 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: that he even took that long for it to happen. Maybe, 111 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: but maybe there'll be more information that comes out. It 112 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: feels like he's gonna end up on the Jets. But 113 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: as I'm recording this currently, he is not on the 114 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: New York Jets, which he spent time in darkness. His 115 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: team didn't make the playoffs. He's had months to figure 116 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: this out. Now it's complicated a lot of money, you know, 117 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: He's been on a you know, he's played for the 118 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers for a long time. They're easily one 119 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: of the biggest brands in America. Anyone who has seen 120 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: the green Bay Packers play on the road. For being 121 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: a small market team, they are not a small market 122 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: fan base. You know, he's been lucky to be a 123 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: part of, you know, one of our biggest American sports brands. 124 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: While New York is the biggest market, the Packers are 125 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: infinitely bigger than the Jets, and the Jets are a 126 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: big market, especially when they're winning. Now they haven't been winning. 127 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: But I don't really know what else to say. Beside 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to have an opinion on the 129 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: situation on the trade when as of recording this nothing 130 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: has happened. I don't have the information. I feel like 131 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: it's easy to like talk some shit about prolonging this 132 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: out because if you're just taking an educated guess, it 133 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: feels like it's on Aaron. But maybe it's not. And 134 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: maybe as the situation comes out, I will react a 135 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: couple other things. And maybe this is a domino effect 136 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: of Lamar because if they don't get Rogers, he decides 137 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: to retire, Goes back to Green Bay, which feels unlikely. 138 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Maybe they make a run at Lamar Jackson, but if 139 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: they don't, salary cap all around the league is drying up, 140 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: and as Colin and I talked about yesterday, we can't 141 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: universally make fun of Deshaun Watson's contract as being an 142 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: awful deal and only Patrick Mahomes deserves that deal. To 143 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: then say give it to Lamar Jackson on top of 144 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 1: giving two first round picks today unless something crazy happens, 145 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a great day for Lamar Jackson. Money 146 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: drying up everywhere, and to make a huge contract, you know, 147 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: not only do you have to have salary cap space 148 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: now you can manipulate it, you have to have cash 149 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: on hand to pay for it now. I know there 150 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: have been reports that Washington still do it and kind 151 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: of kick the can down the road to the future owner. 152 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: But every day that this goes by, you would have 153 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: to say it gets a little less likely that Lamar 154 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: Jackson is traded. And I don't view it as collusion. 155 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: I just view it as good business because I know this. 156 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: If I was a general manager, I could not give 157 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: Lamar two hundred thirty million dollars. Could I give him 158 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: one fifty yeah, could because that's essentially like three three 159 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: and a half year deal. You give him two hundred 160 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars. Yeah, I mean the way it 161 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: works in your cap. You were in bed with him 162 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: for five or six years. And this is a guy 163 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: who's missed ten games in the last two seasons. But 164 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: today could not be a positive for him. Now a day, 165 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: I would say that was positive in terms of the headlines, 166 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: They're signing a lot of players I think represented something. 167 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: And let me preface this whole rant by saying this, 168 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is a legit top five six head coach 169 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now based on resume. There aren't 170 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: many guys ahead of him currently in the league. And 171 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: just if you based it on twenty twenty three, if 172 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: you did a draft from scratch, he would, I'm sure go. 173 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: If it was up to the owners slash GMS, probably 174 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: top five or six. So the upgrade from Hackett to 175 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is as wide as the state of Texas. 176 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: Like that is a no brainer hire for them in 177 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: terms of a head coach. But when you give a 178 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: guy ninety million dollars, he then has all the Power. 179 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: Of course he does. I mean he makes seventeen or 180 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars a year. He does not know the 181 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: GM Now, I watched some of their press conference at 182 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: the combine. He acts like he respects them and likes them. 183 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: But I thought today was very reflective of a co 184 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: two answers to nobody and an owner who says, Sean, 185 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: we're paying you ninety you do whatever you want to do, 186 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: and for fifteen plus years, and he said this over 187 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: and over, not just a guy that he respected a lot, 188 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: but someone that he viewed as his best friend, Mickey Loomis. 189 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: There was a balance to Sean Payton. Now, part of 190 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: it was like they signed some bad contracts here and there, 191 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: and they didn't always have a lot of wiggle room 192 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: come free agency. But I thought today I think I 193 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: read they spent almost one hundred and forty million dollars 194 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: in guaranteed money. They gave Mike McGlinchey fifty million dollars guaranteed. Honestly, 195 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know about much about the guard that they 196 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: signed Powers from Baltimore, but texting friends in the league, 197 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: multiple people said, yeah, he's kind of a stiff. Now, 198 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: both those guys are pretty good in the run game. 199 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: But today reflected a day where the coach has unlimited 200 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: power and the general manager is essentially his assistant. And 201 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: I don't blame Sean Payton for being aggressive. He ain't 202 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: trying to play the long game. Sean Payton wants to 203 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: win immediately, and I thought that day reflected that. And 204 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you get a coach that has 205 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: no checks and balances, which to me when it comes 206 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: to football, on the field, game planning, no issue with 207 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: him being the grand poo bah, no issue with him 208 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: and having unlimited personnel juice or excuse me, juice on 209 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: the game plan, on preparing for the opponent, on once 210 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: trained in camp, starts in the off season. And listen, 211 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: I'm a little biased. I like the GM, I like 212 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: the personnel people to have some say, what did Robert 213 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Kraft tell Belichick? I don't know, the most accomplished coach 214 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: in the history of the league. You need to listen 215 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: to some other people, because a lot of times head 216 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: coaches aren't the greatest because in fairness, they're not viewing things, 217 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: especially a guy of Sean Payton, who's this is second job, 218 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: making all this money, trying to win big immediately, big picture, 219 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: and signing those two offensive linemen for almost ninety million 220 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed is borderline laughable. I mean it really is. 221 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: Now he might counter and say, listen, we're out of 222 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: some draft picks. We have to utilize the money and 223 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: the cash that we have available because our owner is 224 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: very he's rich, so we can sign huge signing bonuses 225 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: and then manipulate the cap there. And I go, yeah, 226 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: I understand that logic. The problem is the people you're 227 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: paying premiums for are they that good? Are they worth 228 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: that type money? And in a salary cap league like 229 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: ultimately with the Saints, for example, they had a lot 230 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: of money tied up in really good players. When you 231 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: pay guys like Alvin Kamara, Cam Jordan, Drew Brees, I'm 232 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: just coupled to come to my mind over a period 233 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: of time and you have a lot of funds allocated 234 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: and signing bonuses, those guys are high end players. Those 235 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: guys are impact players. Even when they gave Mike Thomas, 236 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: which is backfired, he had proven before kind of fell 237 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: off a cliff, he was a high end player. Mike 238 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: mcglinchey's an average starter. Again, haven't done the film study 239 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: got multiple people saying powers borderline stiff, laughable, but coaches 240 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: just view plug and play guy he started somewhere else. 241 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: There was a reason the forty nine ers and the 242 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: Raven said, see yuh audios, we're not paying you that money. 243 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: And the undoing of Sean Payton will not be coaching, 244 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: will be schematics, will not be motivating the team Sunday 245 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: through January. But we've seen it with Bill, who's, in 246 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,239 Speaker 1: my lifetime, the greatest football coach I've ever seen. Personnel 247 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: can let you down. Making poor decisions in March and 248 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: April in this league has devastating consequences. It can limit 249 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: your ability. I don't care how great you are as 250 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: a play caller, as a schemer, as just an overall 251 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: head coach. And Sean Baton has proven to be a 252 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: big time winner. But clearly with the Saints there were 253 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: some checks and balances there, and I just wonder today 254 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: if it was any reflection. I don't know if there 255 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: are a lot of checks and balance.

And in free agency, especially the last 301 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: several years, most high end Pro Bowl level players do 302 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: not hit the open market. Why because the teams, all 303 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: these teams, this is not baseball. All these teams have 304 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: big money because they all get the media rights contracts 305 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: from the league and the ability to pay their players. 306 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: And you saw today throughout Monday morning into Monday afternoon 307 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: enormous contracts happening for average players. Now, I can find 308 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: you a shitty home, but depending on where that home is, 309 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: it will determine the value. If I say, hey, this 310 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: crappy place is on the water at Pebble Beach, it's 311 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: still is going to be inflated as a price, right 312 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: because the land is valuable. The amount you can get 313 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: for that crappy you know, tear down at Pebble Beach 314 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: or Malibu or Jupiter, Florida is going to be a 315 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: lot different than Stockton, California, right, Phoenix, Arizona, and saw 316 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: you pay a premium certain places in real estate not 317 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: necessarily a better home, but location, location, location, an area. 318 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: You pay a premium if you want to sign a 319 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: guy in free agency, why because you typically have multiple 320 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: people bidding on a services, Like to me, you're paying 321 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: I kind of messed with the mathe little bit. You 322 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: could argue a thirty to thirty five percent premium on 323 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: a lot of these players. When I saw Mike McGlinchey, 324 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: Now he plays a position that is hard to find, tackles, 325 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: pass rushers, obviously quarterbacks, but their position is naturally a 326 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: little higher than the majority of positions in the sport. 327 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: Then when you factor in they hit free agency, Like 328 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: I started to think, what would the forty nine ers 329 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: of ever extended McGlinchey for a long term contract, And 330 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: that number is probably thirty million or below. So the 331 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos to get Mike McGlinchey to sign with their 332 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: team gave him fifty million dollars guaranteed. Now, there are 333 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: elements in free agency where if it's a good guy, 334 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: a hard worker, a durable player, that some of that 335 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: inflations already built in, Like you feel pretty good if 336 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: you're the Broncos about getting a guy that you know 337 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: can just start as your right tackle. If the rest 338 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: of your team is good, he can be, you know, 339 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: like he was for the forty nine ers, arguably their 340 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: worst offensive player, arguably their worst offensive player, but full 341 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: time starter for five years on a team that went 342 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: to three NFC Championship games. But relative to their team, 343 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, they would not have extended him. And then 344 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: he hits the open market and to get his services, 345 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: you're paying a thirty five thirty percent help. Some might 346 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: argue forty percent markup for the player Tremaine Edmonds. You 347 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: know the Bears, and I get Roquan Smith didn't want 348 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: to be there. They traded him to the Ravens. Then 349 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: they pay this guy fifty million dollars guarantee too, Like 350 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: it's just the amount you have to pay in free agency. 351 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: Like at least you know, here's the difference is if 352 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: I buy a place in Malibu that overlooks the water 353 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: or pebble Beats that overlooks the water, even if the 354 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: house is god awful and terrible, that is still very valuable. 355 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: If McGlinchey and Edmunds and these guys that you pay 356 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: a lot of money to, Derek Carr do not play 357 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: at a high level. It's a disaster. Part of the 358 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: reason we see these people be major quote unquote bust 359 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: in free agency because the amount of money I'm paying 360 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: you is on the Pro Bowl scale. So if you 361 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: play at an average level, we got problems. We got 362 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: major problems. And when I'm gonna pay a premium for 363 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: your services, that makes me really nervous. My margin for 364 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: error is slim the none. And you saw a lot 365 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: of these contracts to day, for let's face it, average 366 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: to slightly above average players getting paid, you know, like 367 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: borderline Pro Bowl impact level guys, and that's just not 368 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: the case. Just because I pay you like Lane Johnson 369 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you are Lane Johnson. Just because I pay 370 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: you more money than Fred Warner doesn't mean you're a 371 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: better player than that. But that's the price of to 372 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: acquire these guys their services in this market, and this 373 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: market is an all it always has been and always 374 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: will be very very inflated. So it's why the good 375 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: teams historically are very very hesitant picked their spots, and 376 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: even then like they can get burned. It's just part 377 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: of the sport. And I saw a lot of money 378 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: getting thrown around for a lot of players that if 379 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: I was on the team the GM, I'd be pretty 380 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: damn nervous. Some non Rogers quarterback thoughts, I would say 381 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: the biggest name because car signed last year or last week. 382 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: And you know the trade with the Panthers and the Bears. 383 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo officially is the Raiders starting quarterback. And they 384 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: gave a guy who's now back to back years miss games, 385 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: major injuries, thirty five million dollars guaranteed, gave him three years, 386 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, fake money, but you know, close to seventy 387 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: million dollars. And on the positive element here, it gives you, 388 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: like Geno Smith, a lot of wiggle room. Good guy. 389 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: People like him. He's proved when he's on the field 390 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: to be a productive player, good with younger players. He's 391 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: proven you can draft a guy he can be the 392 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: mentor like he was for Trey Lance a couple of 393 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: years ago when Trey was his backup. He was the starter, 394 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: and he battled injuries and he got the forty nine ers. 395 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: He didn't get them, but he was a starting quarterback 396 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: on a team that you know was in the NFC 397 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: Championship Game. Now a huge part of Jimmy's success has 398 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: been the surrounding talent and the coach who was also 399 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: the offensive play caller. And three things jump out to 400 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: me on this contract. One, this guy's not a durable player. 401 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: He was hurt this year, he was hurt the previous year. 402 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: He was hurt in twenty twenty. The only year when 403 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: he was durable for the San Frasco forty nine was 404 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen towards ACL you know, the one 405 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: year when he filled in for Tom Brady, he didn't 406 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: make it to Game three because he got hurt in 407 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: the second game. This guy gets hurt all the time. 408 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: So when you signed this player, if Jimmy Garoppolo could 409 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: just play every game, you would have a serviceable middle 410 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: of the road quarterback who's smart, who you know, gets 411 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: along with his teammates, who just a solid player if 412 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: you have good players around him, which clearly the Raiders 413 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Demante Adams, Darren Waller, renfro have. But I 414 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: can't count on Jimmy Garoppolo. How do you feel confident 415 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna make it ten games? Especially the Raiders offensive 416 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: line you know, isn't exactly some world beater, And so 417 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: the pressure that it puts on Jimmy to play these games. 418 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. You pay a guy thirty five million dollars, 419 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: you expect him to start seventeen games, and I just 420 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: don't think you can't. The other thing is, what if 421 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: Derek Carr is good this year. If he goes to 422 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: the Saints a division that stinks, and they win ten 423 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: or eleven games, and he is in the playoffs, and 424 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy and the Raiders and Josh are in a division 425 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: that best team in football chiefs in it. The Chargers 426 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: are going nowhere. They're really good. They were a playoff 427 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: team this year, and if it wasn't for one of 428 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: the great collapses of all time, should have won a 429 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: playoff game. The Broncos were an abomination last year. It 430 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: will be hard even if they got to figure some 431 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: things out still, and Russell may never be the same guy. 432 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: The upgraded coach is the size of the Grand Candy. 433 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: So in those games, while the Raiders beat him twice 434 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: this year, were hard fought. I'm pretty sure they won 435 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: one game in overtime if I remember correctly. My point 436 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: is this division is very, very difficult. So Carr, who 437 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: you just kick to the curb and rightfully. So listen, 438 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: everything comes to an end, is now With the Saints, 439 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: They're probably gonna have some success, even if it's ten wins, 440 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: and it probably wins a division. And then you who 441 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: have this injury prone quarterback, and it's gonna be very 442 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: difficult to have just a solid season because of your division. 443 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a ton of pressure. Like, I don't know, man, 444 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: I think the pressure on Josh McDaniel's going to the 445 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: season is really really high. And if they end up 446 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback, which Jimmy is equipped to handle that, like, 447 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: is he a lock to make it to year three? 448 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: If they win six or seven games again, which is 449 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: very much on the table. Some other quarterback news, it 450 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: was a little shocking when Jared Stidham, who to me 451 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: in the couple games he played for the Raiders looks 452 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: pretty intriguing, goes to Denver as a backup quarterback. I think, 453 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: like ten million bucks, good backup money, interesting player. I mean, 454 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: the game that he played against the forty nine ers 455 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: might have been a one off situation, but holy molly, 456 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: was he good. Sam Darnold, you know, couldn't go to 457 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: a better situation to resurrect his career. One offensive weapons everywhere. 458 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: Two doesn't really have any pressure because he shouldn't beat 459 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: out Trey Lance. But I would say that they're gonna 460 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: be a backup quarterback. Controversy is the wrong word, but 461 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: a competition and brock Purty, you know whether he's ready 462 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: at the start of training camp, in the middle of 463 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: training camp per week one. He is a starting quarterback 464 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers if he's healthy, but the 465 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: backup situation is not situated. It is not set Trey 466 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: Lance unlike last year where he was handed the starting job. 467 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: It's just gonna have to compete this year. And that's 468 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: healthy and if Trey's better, okay. Sam Darnold has started 469 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: fifty five games in the NFL, and he showed some 470 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: signs of life last year. You know. And to me 471 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, I haven't seen the money. It can't 472 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: be much. That's pretty intriguing spot. And if he ends 473 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: up being your third quarterback, it's a damn good third 474 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: of quarterback. If he ends up being your backup quarterback, 475 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: pretty good backup quarterback. And ultimately Sam Darnold fits right 476 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: now with the forty nine ers. Guy who's been injured 477 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: a lot with a couple other quarterbacks who are injured. 478 00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 1: You know, it's very on brand. It fits vertically, and uh, 479 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: Mike White. Man. It's interesting with the Dolphins. They draft 480 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson last year in the seventh round, who ends 481 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: up playing at the end of the season because of 482 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: the injuries. Showed some actually some promise, I would say, 483 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: some nice throws in that playoff game that they that 484 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: they lost to the Bills, though it was a really 485 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: good game. You signed Mike White, So you got a 486 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: guy that started a playoff game. Do you then get 487 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: Mike White, who you know was kind of like this sensation. 488 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: Is he actually that good? I don't know, but he 489 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: started some games. He's tough. It gives you some backup plans, Mike, 490 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: specifically that if you don't end up getting Tom Brady, 491 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: if Tua gets a concussion, you just have I think 492 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: I would rather have Mike White at this point than 493 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. So I like the Stidham, I like the 494 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: Mike White, I like the Sam Donald. I like signing 495 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that don't have to start that our young, tough, 496 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: high character guys who have proven to be able to 497 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: handle the backup spot and just get along with a 498 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: lot of guys. It's a very unique job, right, because 499 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: you might end up not playing a snap all season long, 500 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: and you are just the demand at the position. Is 501 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: basically like be a great guy, be a great teammate, 502 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: be a great study buddy. But at any moment, rolled ankle, 503 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: broken finger, who knows what snap of a finger. You're 504 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback, so you better not only know what's 505 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: going on, you gotta be like mentally prepared, even though 506 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: there's a chance again you do not touch the field. 507 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: It's it's a unique position. There aren't positions like it 508 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: in sports, right, every other position in football because you 509 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: don't have two kickers on the roster, so every other 510 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: position has several players and they all rotate in. In baseball, 511 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: even if you're a reliever not a starter, you play 512 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: right if you're the backup outfielder, you're still rotate in 513 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: and those guys get days off during the season. In basketball, 514 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: you could be the twelfth man. A couple injuries all 515 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden, and you're like rotating as the seventh 516 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: guy backup quarterback. Like we see it every year, backup 517 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: quarterback gets no snaps and with a forty nine or 518 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: sometimes like the backup quarterback always ends up starting games. 519 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: Mike White ended up starting games. Stittum ended up starting games. 520 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold started games as the starter, then as the backup, 521 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: and then came back as the starter. So it's just 522 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: it's a crazy position. Think how many quarterbacks in the 523 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: NFL started their careers as backups. They're good. I mean, 524 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: even Mahomes started his career as a backup. Aaron Rodgers 525 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: started his career as a backup. Dak Prescott Kirk Cousins 526 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: started their careers as backups. Now Dak because of injury, 527 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: started immediately. Cousins took him a minute, right. They drafted 528 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to beat the backup. He ended up beating 529 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: them out. The quarterback position is just it's this fluid 530 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: situation that even if you got Brady r Manning, your 531 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: one neck injury or acl injury away from the how 532 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: many times you know, I'll never was at Monday Night 533 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: Football when Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone, boom, you got 534 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback in. You just never know. It's not 535 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: like that at other positions because you're just constantly rotating 536 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: even if you know offensive line, like at any moment 537 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: you know you might play, and every single team I 538 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: don't care who you are, never starts the same five 539 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman all season. It's impossible. Hell, the Eagles were 540 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. They were rotating offensive linemen all 541 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: year long because you get injuries. Part of the deal. 542 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: Wanted to hit on a couple contracts. Most a lot 543 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: of contracts I don't like just because of the price points. 544 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: Like I have no problem if the guy's a starter 545 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: on my team, but you start paying McGlinchey, you start 546 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: paying Edmonds like that type of money. It's not those 547 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: guys have been starting players for playoff teams. I just 548 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: view it differently once I start paying you premiums. But 549 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: there are some contracts that like Hargrave the forty nine 550 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: or signed to forty million dollars, which is somewhat risky. 551 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: He's a thirty year old player coming off the best 552 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: season of his career. Like that guy's a plug and 553 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: play ass kicker. The only question is just he's just older, 554 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: you know, but he's going into his eighth year. He's 555 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 1: just awesome. Eleven sacks last year. You put him with Bosa, 556 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: you put him with Armstead that defensive line with the 557 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,959 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Takes random guys to become stars, So 558 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: I don't that's a lot of money for a guy 559 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: on their third contract at defensive tackle. But based on 560 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: the tape last year, he was a complete and utter 561 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: dominant player. You know, Jesse Bates is a good example. 562 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: I always struggle with this, and if you're a Bengals fan, 563 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: maybe you know his flaws, Like I'd be lying if 564 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: I broke down Jesse Bates tape. But he's a basically 565 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 1: a five year starter on your squad. You draft him 566 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 1: the second round years ago, franchise tag last year on 567 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: these last couple of years, one of the better teams 568 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and honestly, for a large percentag, one 569 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: of the better defenses in the NFL. So I get 570 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: a guy who has been part of winning starting player 571 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: in certain teams, don't value use certain positions. I'd never 572 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: like that, Like I don't care linebacker, safety, guard, center. 573 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: When I get an impact player, I like to keep him. Now, 574 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: it's not like Bates is you know At Reid or 575 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: you know Earl Thomas in his prime. It's not like 576 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: he's an All Pro every single year, a Pro Bowler, 577 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: but he's pretty damn good. So I love that signing 578 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: for the Falcons. I think I saw like twenty three 579 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: million dollars in the first year. Their defense has been 580 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: a trocus the last couple of years. Just the Falcons 581 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: just need more talent. They got a long way to go, 582 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: and to me, Jesse Bates could play for my squad 583 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: any day of the week. Another sneakier signing just because 584 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: the guy's become a backup. But the reason he became 585 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: a backup is one he can't play right tackle or 586 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: any other positions but left tackle. And to it turns 587 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: out the Eagles just found this incredible rugby gym and 588 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: Malata is just a baller at left tackle. So Andre 589 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: Dillard who they drafted years ago in the first round 590 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: is a good player. Now. The one knock on him 591 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: he gets injured. He's got some injury question marks, but 592 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: when he plays, he's a solid left tackle. So to 593 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: get him for twenty nine million Titans obviously, you know, 594 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: rotating through some offensive lineman, got rid of their center, 595 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: got rid of their left tackle. I think this has 596 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: got a potential to have pretty good upside for a 597 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: guy that you didn't need to break the bank for. 598 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: Like back to mcglinchy, and again I feel like I'm 599 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: crushing mcglinchy, but I am because of the money. If 600 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: I gotta pay Mike McGlinchey fifty million dollars guaranteed, Like 601 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: if I'm given a guy fifty million dollars guaranteed, the 602 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: guy's got to go to the Pro Bowl. A couple 603 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: of years ago, Trent Williams got sixty million guaranteed. Trent 604 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: fucking Williams goes in Pro Bowl every year. So you 605 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: just you gotta pay so much money for half the price, 606 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: I get Andre Dillard, who's a much better athlete. Now, 607 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: mcglinchey's better in the run game, but and mcglinchy has 608 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: been more durable. But my point is, like the price 609 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: point in these contracts for nonlike impact players to me matters. 610 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: So I get a guy that could start it tackled. 611 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: It's a ten million dollar player that's that's got a 612 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: chance to be a pretty good value signing. Okay, let's 613 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: dive into the mailbag at John middlecoff Is he instagram 614 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: dms wide open fire in those dms with a passion 615 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: and a fury for life, as my guy Jim Harbaugh 616 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: would say, enthusiasm unknown to mankind at John Middleoff Instagram 617 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: Fire in the DMS. I'm recording this part a little 618 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: earlier in the day than the open because as of 619 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: this I'm recording this about four o'clock Pacific Standard time. 620 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: My guy Aaron Rodgers taking a sweet ass time. Let's 621 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: start with Bruce. I'm so fucking sick to my stomach. 622 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: He uh Instagram dm me a picture of Jimmy Garoppolo 623 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: in the Raiders uniform. Car costs too much? Now we 624 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: got captain injury at the helm pathetic. Yeah, I gave 625 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: my two cents on that earlier. I think it's pretty bold, 626 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: moved by old Josh McDaniels. I would probably bet against 627 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: it working out as someone from the valley. Okay, this 628 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: is Tristan. I'm intrigued by your pat hill In Freds 629 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: of State stories when you were at GA there, so 630 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: please keep them coming. Also, I'm looking to start a 631 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: podcast myself inspired by you. Cool. I listened to Coward 632 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: growing up my whole life, and then saw that you 633 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: were doing a pod with little experience in the industry. 634 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: Compared to others like him. Any marketing advice or just 635 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: advice in general how to get started, Well, you know, 636 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: I had a little experience. I had a radio show 637 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: for three years and fifth biggest market in America hit 638 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: number one a couple of times. So I had been 639 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: talking for a living for several years now. When I 640 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: started this podcast with Colin it was eighteen. I'd never 641 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: hosted anything by myself. Obviously, I've attempted to work out 642 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: the kinks over the years. I still think we're trying 643 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: to get better, trying to figure this out as we go. 644 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: I think depending on if you do it with someone else, 645 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,919 Speaker 1: it can be a little easier to keep the conversation 646 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: going if you do it by yourself. I've been talking 647 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: for a living my entire life. My dad used to 648 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: yell at me to shut up because I couldn't stop talking. 649 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: So it is an attribute that comes naturally to me. Right, 650 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: Like Kyler, Murray Lamar Jackson have been running since they 651 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: could walk, because fast guys run immediately at a young age. Right, 652 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: some guys, good looking guys, pull chicks early. On Guys 653 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: like me. We've been talking for a long period of time, 654 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: and I've been a heavy, heavy sports talk radio guy 655 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: from probably the moment I was ten years old. I 656 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: don't really listen to it as much anymore. I listen 657 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: to podcasts. But it's something that came naturally because I 658 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: had consumed a lot and I just naturally never shut up. 659 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna do it by yourself, you gotta 660 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: be willing to just talk a lot. And it's not easy. 661 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: You know, just turn on a mic talk for an 662 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: hour sale ghost. Now, if you do it with someone else, 663 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: you can have more of a you know, conversational is 664 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: that a word converse? Converse? You can you can have conversations. 665 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: I have not going on much, sleeps on my head's 666 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: not really working. It can be more free flowing and 667 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: it's not as dependent on one individual. But what Colin 668 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: does on television live TV is really hard. Ultimately, this 669 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: isn't live TV. I'm recording this and if I screw up, 670 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 1: I can edit it always. It is a lot easier 671 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: than doing a live television show, but it's it's not easy. 672 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to do my own horn. But you know, 673 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: it's podcasting game A for everybody. On the trade up 674 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: for quarterback Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes all worked out, true, 675 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: but all were not the first quarterbacks in their draft. 676 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: And Holmes and Watson went ten and twelve, and Josh 677 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: Allen there were two quarterbacks taking ahead of them. So 678 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 1: I think it's how you kind of come in and 679 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: think about that. Mahomes, Alan and Watson, if I remember correctly, 680 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: they didn't mortgage the farm. Pretty sure each of them 681 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 1: had to give up the following year's one, if I'm 682 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: remembering that correctly. But when you look at these enormous deals, 683 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,399 Speaker 1: most of them have struggled because I think there's a 684 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: huge pressure that goes along with Hey, Trey Lance, you 685 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,960 Speaker 1: were traded for three first round picks, Bryce Young or 686 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. You were traded for a first round pick, 687 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: a second round pick in Dj Moore, who's a stud. Like, 688 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: that's a lot, and obviously you flip flop this year's one. 689 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: I think when you get that, you know kind of 690 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know what you would consider it, but 691 00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: the target on your back, that's even the wrong way 692 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: to put a describe it would just be the way 693 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: your career is defined. As a young player. You were 694 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: the guy the team traded a lot for the other. Thing. 695 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: Is like Deshaun Watson and Mahomes were kind of good immediately, right, 696 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen took a minute, but he got to suck 697 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: for a year. When I trade a ton of picks 698 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: for you, you don't really get to suck. You gotta 699 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: be good kind of immediately. I'm desperate for some help here. 700 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 1: Can you help explain these restructured contracts? Clearing out cap 701 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: space is driving me crazy? Does the cap hit get 702 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: to a point where it can no longer be restructured? 703 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: Are they just converting part of the salary to a 704 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: signing bonus? If so's to stop someone from paying all 705 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: someone's salary via bonus and having no cap hit at all. 706 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: I figured there was some kind of negative ramification. Well, 707 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 1: when you give a guy a signing bonus, let's just 708 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: pick an even number, thirty million dollars, and I give 709 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,919 Speaker 1: you a multi year contract four years. I can amortize 710 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: that signing bonus over the life of the contract. So 711 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: when you are just owed, right, if your signing bonus 712 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: has already been paid out, and it's in year three 713 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: or four of your contract, and I still like you 714 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 1: as a player, and your contract coming up is fifteen 715 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: million dollars and your cap HiT's going to be eighteen 716 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,439 Speaker 1: million dollars. I can take and I could be wrong 717 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: how or Parague might have to correct me on this. 718 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: I can take that salary, turn it into a signing 719 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: bonus and give you ten or twelve million dollars up front, 720 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: and then push that back on following years, so the 721 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: cap hit, you're still getting the same amount of money, 722 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: but the amount of money that's on the books for 723 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: this given season is lower. And that's how it constantly 724 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: gets manipulated. So I think you see a lot of 725 00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: guys that get their contract restructured, it's because they transfer 726 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: that year's salary, which for a lot of like Khalil 727 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: Max and Keenan Allen's those that come to my mind 728 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: good players who have a large individual cap hit or 729 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: salary that year and then I push it back to 730 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: previous years. It's why you hear people talk about kicking 731 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: the can down the road or the bill eventually comes due, 732 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: because it's not like you're not gonna owe Khalil Mack 733 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: or Keenan Allen that money. It's just not going to 734 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: hit your cap this year. He's getting his cash no 735 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,919 Speaker 1: matter what. But you're manipulating the books that that's really 736 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: what's happening. So yeah, that's the best way that I 737 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: know how to describe it. How many weeks do you 738 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: give Sam Darnold to become quarterback one due to injuries? 739 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: Where ironically about Sam, like Purdy who now has an 740 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,240 Speaker 1: injured elbow, and like Trey Lance who has a messed 741 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: up foot, is they're all injury prone? Well, Sam definitely 742 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: his battle to injuries, and Trey Lance through two years 743 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: has been injured a lot, So I think he will. 744 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 1: He'll fit right in. You know, he was a guy 745 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 1: that a couple of years ago I thought the Niners 746 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: were going to trade for. They ended up not doing it. 747 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: The Panthers did it, and then they trade it for 748 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: Trey Lance. So I think I talked about it earlier, 749 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: but I'm definitely intrigued. I'm definitely intrigued, especially when you 750 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: get guys cheap. Not much of a question, but a 751 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,879 Speaker 1: content idea for your Instagram or podcast GM John each 752 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: week pick a team and going to depth on what 753 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: you would do as the GM for the upcoming season. 754 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: I'd be really interesting what your ideas you throw out, well, 755 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 1: that's probably a good offseason, a good offseason project. I 756 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 1: would say, you know, I'm in the reaction business. I 757 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: don't create the narratives. I just react to him, so 758 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: that my podcast is basically a reaction to what's going on, 759 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: and that's kind of what I do more than like 760 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:11,280 Speaker 1: hypothetical stuff some of that, and I think people even 761 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: in my business push back say I should do more 762 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: of that kind of bores me sometimes because I'm not 763 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,439 Speaker 1: the gem and it's not my pull. But you tell me, like, hey, 764 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: look at what Sean Payton just did, who he added 765 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: to his staff, and who he signed. I can give 766 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: you a take on that because I do have a 767 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: thought on it. But I'm not a huge, like hypothetical 768 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: guy what you should do, because I don't have any 769 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: control over it. Right, Like, George Peyton and Sean Payton 770 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: are gonna do what they're gonna do, then I will 771 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: give my opinion on what they did. I don't know 772 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: if I'm right or I'm wrong, and I'm not in 773 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: the right or wrong business. I'm in the entertainment business, 774 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 1: and luckily I have thoughts on a lot of these 775 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: things that happen in the NFL and in college football 776 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 1: and on the PGA tour. But I like reacting to 777 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 1: things that actually happen or actually probably going to happen, 778 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 1: Like so and so is on the trade blow. Then 779 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, like I think these couple of teams 780 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: should trade for right, Like if Lamar Jackson is available 781 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 1: and he'll sign for two hundred million dollars, I'll give 782 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: you a couple of teams. And I said, I think 783 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: Houston and Detroit should definitely sniff around on them because 784 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: they got multiple picks. But you know, I'm not The 785 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,399 Speaker 1: hypothetical stuff kind of bores me. And I think one 786 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: thing I try to do on this podcast is I 787 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,840 Speaker 1: try to talk about things that excite me, because I 788 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: think that's what makes a good listen is what excites me. 789 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 1: What I'm fired up about is what you're going to enjoy. Right, 790 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: you're coming to listen to my opinions. Long winded way 791 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: to answer your statement, But I appreciate you shooting content ideas. 792 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,839 Speaker 1: I've never opposed to content ideas. Content is not really 793 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: my issue. We go pretty strong about ten months a year, 794 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: Hey John enjoined the pod with the Raiders signing Jimmy Garoppolo. 795 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,959 Speaker 1: What do you believe we will use our first round 796 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 1: pick on. It seems as if we might take a 797 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: major defensive player, But I can't help draft a quarterback 798 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: to sit under him for a year similar to my 799 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,440 Speaker 1: homes Well, remember he did that with Trey Lance two 800 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: years ago. I think that this is a good example 801 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 1: of a hypothetical. We know the Raiders are going to 802 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 1: draft someone in the top ten, but could will they 803 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: still take a quarterback or now are they more inclined 804 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: to take a position player. I still think they will 805 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 1: be sniffing around the quarterbacks now where they're drafting. You know, 806 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: the Panthers are gonna take someone at one, The Texans 807 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: are gonna take someone at two. The Colts obviously, either 808 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: if they trade up a spot or where they sit, 809 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: or gonna take a quarterback more than likely, so that 810 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: several quarterbacks are going to be gone by the time 811 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: that they pick. But I would say that would still 812 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: be in play now if you look at Josh McDaniels. 813 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: He was with the Patriots when they took Jimmy Garoppolo 814 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 1: in the second round when they had Brady, So it 815 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: to me it would be on the table, and I 816 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 1: don't think Jimmy, you know, makes it impossible for them 817 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: to take a guy in like the third round, because 818 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 1: look at some of these guys historically that go in 819 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: the second, third, fourth round, Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, Dak Prescott, 820 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, Hell brock Purty last year was in the 821 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 1: seventh round. You can get starting quarterbacks not in the 822 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,800 Speaker 1: top ten. So as of right now, given that several 823 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks would be up the board, I would take a 824 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: position player, like you said, probably on defense or an 825 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and take a quarterback later in the draft. 826 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 1: But I would probably still draft a quarterback if there 827 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,879 Speaker 1: are guys in the second, third, fourth round that I'm 828 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: excited about for the mailback. What do you think would 829 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: be another option for the Giants to sign a quarterback 830 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: if they don't sign Jones? Well, they did sign Jones 831 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: was today You're saying if they hadn't signed Jones, what 832 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: else would they have done? I would imagine they would 833 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: have been in the Jimmy Garoppolo market. I would imagine 834 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: that they would have who else is really out there? 835 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 1: You know a lot of my whites, Sam Arnold's, you know, 836 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: and Jared Stidhams, So they were always going to resign 837 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones or franchise them. So it was never an 838 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 1: option of Daniel Jones not to be their quarterback, whether 839 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 1: it was the franchise tag and Albert Breer wrote a 840 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,720 Speaker 1: lot about it today. The negotiations back between the agents 841 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: and Joe Shane, the general manager. So you know he 842 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,319 Speaker 1: was always going to be their quarterback because Jimmy Garoppolo. 843 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 1: You know, it would make more sense if you're the 844 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,560 Speaker 1: owner of the Giants, you know the guy he's played 845 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,719 Speaker 1: for you. You finally saw some signs of life this 846 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 1: year to just stick with dj another year. My pushback 847 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: on that deal was like the amount of money. I 848 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,879 Speaker 1: just don't know who they were bidding against. Even though 849 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 1: I get that they liked him, that helped they really 850 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: like him at that much money. First time listener or 851 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: long time listener and second time questioner love the mailback 852 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,399 Speaker 1: segment or insight reach out Dolphins fan, but question about 853 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: the Jets regarding something I heard in the Coward podcast 854 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: talking with Dave Wanston. I always enjoyed Dave Wansta with Colin. 855 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 1: He's mentioned typically defensive coaches and defensive guys like to 856 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: run the ball and keep their defense rested. I know 857 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,319 Speaker 1: the Lamar contract is wild and that his demands are 858 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 1: outrageous even with his injury history, but with his age, 859 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't he be a better fit for the Jets than Aaron. 860 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 1: Salah is a defensive minded coach and Bruce Hall in 861 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 1: one year has shown he can run the ball with success. 862 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 1: Their da is good and they can win games by 863 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: keeping the powerhouse AFC quarterbacks off the field. I thought 864 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: this while watching the Super Bowl. You can't let Mahomes 865 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: back on the field, thoughts well, as of recording this, 866 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 1: Rogers isn't officially on the Jets. I think the differences 867 00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: is you get Aaron. He just he's more of a 868 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: guarantee than Lamar because one with Lamar especially now like 869 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: you got a factor in it's Nate Hackett, So Nate 870 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: Hackett and Aaron there should be a seamless fit in 871 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 1: terms of your offense. The other thing is Aaron once 872 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: he started having a lot of success after the first 873 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: year with La Flora, and he won back to back MVPs. 874 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 1: The Packers were pretty good at running the ball, and 875 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 1: really their offense became you know, obviously Davante was exceptional, 876 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: but Aaron Jones became a star. AJ Dillon really came on. 877 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: I think it might have been his first, maybe even 878 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: a second MVP year. Jamal Williams maybe he left after 879 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,880 Speaker 1: Laflour's first year. I don't remember, but he had a 880 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: lot of success. Aaron did in you know, the Kyle 881 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: Shanahan physical They ran a lot of zone stuff, but 882 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: with the running backs playing a big, big role in 883 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: the team, something that they didn't really do under McCarthy. 884 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: Now he won MVPs with McCarthy, but I thought he 885 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 1: was He played his best football of his career the 886 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: back to back years he won the MVP, And I 887 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 1: even thought the second year he won the MVP. Would 888 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: that have been twenty one when they had the one 889 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 1: seed and they lost the forty nine ers. I thought 890 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,439 Speaker 1: he had kind of mastered the quarterback position in terms 891 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,399 Speaker 1: of just complete control. He was still an explosive down 892 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 1: the field passer, but he knew the run game and 893 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 1: just you know, getting the ball out of his hands fast. 894 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: And that guy isn't that far removed. I know last 895 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 1: year was a struggle, but I thought Aaron Rodgers two 896 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: years ago the way he played that season was some 897 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacking we've seen a long time. You know, Mahomes, 898 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: some elite Brady, some elite Peyton Manning like it was. 899 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 1: It was big time and if you think you can 900 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: get that version, that's better than anything. Lamar Jackson's bringing 901 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 1: the table. Plus, like Aaron cost you a lot of money. Right, 902 00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 1: Let's say he ends up being on your team for 903 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: a couple of years and you pay them one hundred 904 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,280 Speaker 1: million dollars. Committing two hundred million dollars to Lamar Jackson 905 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: and giving up your ones again, don't have the trade compensation. 906 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 1: Assuming Aaron goes to the Jets, it's you still have 907 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 1: more assets doing the Aaron Rodgers. It's a shorter term solution, 908 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: but I think it gives you more flexibility long term 909 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,640 Speaker 1: because you still have the picks. Again, a lot of 910 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: unknown at recording, but I would if I was the Jets, 911 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,439 Speaker 1: I would rather have Aaron Rodgers and my picks than 912 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 1: trade the two first rounders and give Lamar two hundred 913 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: and thirty million dollars.
