We also have our own podcast feed. But 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: thank you to Dan Patrick Show. It's been a lot 13 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: of fun being on there the last couple weeks. 14 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: All Right, if we're going historical intentional talk or Dan 15 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Dan Patrick? Yeah, baseball, yeah, Justin. Let's get into 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: our playoff tiers. Why don't you set it up for us? 17 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're going a through d I wanted to 18 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: have like fun tiers of like is this the guy 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: or I'm not confident this is the guy, or I 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: don't know, it's too early to find out. So I 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: wanted to have fun categories. But Bob Skinner hates fun. 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: So we're so we're doing A through. 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: D, and I'm viewing it more as like, great, you 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: are the reason. B is you should be the reason, 25 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: but I need you to see you do it first 26 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and then mine is like with the 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: right team, you definitely can do it, and then I'm 28 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: not confident that you have the capacities. 29 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I kind of want to start off with 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: A because I think it's pretty obvious who some of 31 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: these top guys are. And I think it's also just 32 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: more fun to talk about top guys and then we 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: can get more critical as time goes on. Are you 34 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: for that? 35 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, how many do you have in the 36 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: A tier? I have three? I have three as well too, 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: so we probably have the same three, correct. 38 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: I would presume that I and I did mine in order. 39 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: Mine too, mahomes Alan H. Stafford. 40 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so that's where we differ. I really like Stafford. 41 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: Stafford is nonumber four for me. Okay, I know that 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: he's had some playoffs struggles. I put Lamar in here. 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: What Lamar does on a weekend week out basis is amazing, 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: Like he like he lifts up everybody. Again, he's had 45 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: some playoff struggles. I agree, but he is. You know, 46 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: a two time MVP is possibly going to be a 47 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: three time MVP after this season, depending on how you 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: know hashtag narratives go over these last four weeks. But 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: I just for me, I love Stafford, and again he's 50 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: four for me. I only put like, you're an MVP 51 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 1: level quarterback in the eighthier like regular season and playoffs, 52 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: you can do it, but you. 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: Don't think Stafford has more Like in the playoffs in 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: the postseason, two minutes to go, you need a game 55 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 2: winning drive, Like I think it's clear, like I'd rather 56 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: have Matt Stafford making that, making that like, hey, that 57 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: beautiful throw to Pookinakool over the shoulder. Lamar can do it, 58 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 2: and I want There's probably no well, there's probably no 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 2: quarterback on this list that I'm rooting for more than Lamar, 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: But I just trust Stafford to do it at this 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: stage of their careers. 62 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: Possible. Yeah, sure, if you're talking about two minute drills, Stafford, yeah, 63 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: I probably give them the edge. But I think it's 64 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: more than just the two minute drill. When we're when 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: we're going through all this, you know, and at the 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: end of the day, Stafford has one playoff run, you know, 67 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: like he never want to play the game outside of 68 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: outside of one year he played. No But like Lamar 69 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: is the type of player where those Lions teams would 70 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: have been in the playoffs every single year. You know 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: what I mean. Where I don't Stafford again is a 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: grade he'll have holder, he'll have Hall of Fame discussions 73 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: when Lamar retires, We're not having Hall of Fame discussions. 74 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: He's just going into the Hall of Fame, right right, 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: So you have to you have to be like that 76 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: guy week in week out for me to put you 77 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: in that tier. 78 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: But crossing that postseason bridge, I mean it is getting 79 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: a little bit like Payton and insert other quarterback here 80 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: that maybe had a little bit of trouble in the 81 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: postseason earlier in their career. It is kind of getting 82 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: to that point for Lamar where that is the next 83 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: bridge that he needs to climb. And that's why, like 84 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 2: last year, I banged my head on the table when 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: number one, the Ravens had that game plan and you 86 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 2: know they showed that type of performance against the Chiefs 87 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: last year because that was the team like that Ravens 88 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: team kicked ass last year. Their record against teams above 89 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: five hundred was really really good, and they kicked good 90 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: teams ass last year. Whereas this year, between the right 91 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: side of that offensive line and especially that pass defense, 92 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: that's not the same team. So they're going to need 93 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: Lamar to carry more than he already kind of has 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: during these regular seasons. They're gonna need to him to 95 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: show up more in the postseason. And those are the 96 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: questions that I have about Lamar right now. Can I 97 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: do it? I think he can, but can he do 98 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: it still is a question. 99 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: And I agree, and I think that's a good reason 100 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: to maybe put Lamar in the beach here. Fortunately I don't. 101 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: I'm still not putting Stafford above him right like you 102 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: can say, oh, well, Josh Allen hasn't made the Super Bowl, okay, 103 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: but look at the games that the Bills have lost 104 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: in their playoffs. Now again, he's had some bad ones too. 105 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: The game against the Bengals two years ago, that was 106 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: a stinker of a game, you know, the first AFC 107 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: Championship with the Chiefs. He certainly didn't play well in 108 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: that game. But the twenty twenty one playoffs and this 109 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: most recent year, like he's played, he's went above and beyond. 110 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably had the best losing effort quarterback, 111 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacking playoff performance in a long time. You know, in 112 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: the thirteen seconds game against the Chiefs, and with the 113 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: new rules, he'd get a shot to match that at least, 114 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: and hell, maybe they go for two and win the 115 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: damn thick. But so I do I think there's good 116 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: arguments for putting Lamarro in the beatier. I don't think 117 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Stafford's one playoff run is enough to move him over 118 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: Lamar as a performer. 119 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 2: I think you're also discounting the game against the Lions 120 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: last year too, with that Rams team, that. 121 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: It wasn't a playoff performance, when remember for the Ages, 122 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: it was a really good playoff game that they lost 123 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: event and essentially in the wildcard round. 124 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: He did outplay golf. But that Lion's team is just 125 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: so much better, all right. So that's my a. You 126 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: have mahomes Allan, I don't think there's any debating that. 127 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: I think some people would debate Alan, But I'm also 128 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: using the context of this season two and Alan's just 129 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: kicking ass. I feel like the MVP goes back and 130 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: forth between him and Lamar every single week. And I 131 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: have Stafford third, and then you have Lamar in that 132 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: A that A tier. 133 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, so my B tier kicks off with Matthew Stafford 134 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: and then has Justin Herbert at five and CJ. Stroud 135 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: at six. 136 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: Oh and my beat this is weird, very different. 137 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: This is my elite tier. I haven't seen you do 138 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: it in the like Stafford is. Again, he's borderline. Herbert 139 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: and Stroud I view as elite quarterback, but I haven't 140 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: seen them have playoff success. I know Stroud won a 141 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: playoff game, but it's just you know, are you know 142 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: put together win two playoff games before I put you 143 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: in the A tier. 144 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: Right, So my B tier, I have Jordan Love at fourth, 145 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: I have Baker Mayfield. 146 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Next, you have Jordan Love over Lamar Jackson. 147 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: I do I do? This is in the context of 148 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: the postseason, Yeah, but I feel like just showed it. 149 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: Man showed it last year falled out. I like the gutsiness. 150 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: I like the ability to I'm gonna have the balls 151 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: to make a throw and even if it's a mistake, 152 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna rely on my talent. I'm gonna rely on 153 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: my guys. So I have Jordan Love, there, Baker Mayfield, 154 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: Jared Goff, and then I have Lamar. 155 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: I think Jordan Love has won one playoff game if 156 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: we had all if we're talking like, man, this guy 157 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: is just a He may not be the best qubing NFL, 158 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: but he showed. He showed from the playoffs year after 159 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: year after year. I think you're taking a play like 160 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: if you say, if you even hinted that Jordan Love 161 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: is a better player than Lamar, you would say that's crazy. 162 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: And we have at the end of the day, we 163 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: have one playoff victory against it and they and they 164 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: blew them out, you know, like it was part of 165 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: the defense. You know, I think they intercepted what deck 166 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: three times in the first half. 167 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: You don't think he played really well against the forty 168 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: nine ers two. 169 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: He did, but he also at the end you talk 170 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: about two minutes drill end of the game, he threw 171 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: an exception, you know, which Again I'm not I'm not 172 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: going to over judge him, but I need to see 173 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: Jordan Love play at a more consistent level before I 174 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: put him. Listen, I can make an argument for him 175 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: in the be tier to put him above Lamar Jackson. 176 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: I I don't know if I'll ever be in that situation, 177 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: but like, yeah, I got to see a lot more 178 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: than what I've seen, and just that playoff performance. Alan 179 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: can't do it for me. 180 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, But what about Baker and Golf. 181 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: I put I mean, I put them in the seat 182 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: tier they're they're I don't think they're elite quarterbacks. I 183 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: think they're good quarterbacks. 184 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 2: I think Baker need him to get this opportunity to playoffs. 185 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 2: I'm pretty confident they're gonna, you know, they're gonna get 186 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: the AFC South, They'll have their home playoff game. Who 187 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: are they projected to play? Right now? Like if the 188 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: season were going to end, do you know on the 189 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: top of your head, like who you play? 190 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: Who? 191 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: You can look at that up really quick. 192 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: I believe the Vikings. 193 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: Fascinating matchup, you know both. Defense is kind of a 194 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: similar aggressive manner. I think Baker's a baller man, and 195 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: I think this year he's even better. He's already matched 196 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: his touchdown total from last year and reviewed last year 197 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: as like this renaissance year six point four percent touchdown rate. 198 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: Interception rate is a little bit higher, but a seventy 199 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 2: percent completion rate, while the yards per attempt is a 200 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 2: whole half yard better. And he's at a part of 201 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: the year where Chris Godwin's hurt, Mike Evans is hurt. 202 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: You know, the the tight end Kate Atton was, you know, 203 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: their number one target for a couple of weeks there. 204 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: So this isn't a perfect team, and certainly Baker is 205 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: not a not a perfect quarterback. The sack rates relatively 206 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 2: low and it matches what he was doing last year. 207 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: They're better on early down, so they have a better 208 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: run game this year. So I think Baker given that 209 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: opportunity in the postseason, I think he has that moxie. 210 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: I think he has that swagger, and I'm excited to 211 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: see him in this year's postseason. I think he can 212 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: win a postseason game. 213 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: I am too, like Listen, he's throwing threw for three 214 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: to fifty in both playoff games last year, and again 215 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: he's second one finished on a bat interception. But it 216 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: is what it is. But still, I again, I understand 217 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: this is specific to the playoffs. I think elite qbs, 218 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: even if they haven't had great playoffs, success will find 219 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, water finds this level and I'm I'm not 220 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: putting someone in Baker who I view is a really 221 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: good QB above an elite quarterback like I do with Stafford, Herbert, Straud, Lamar. 222 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: Reel off your B tier, your B tier. 223 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: Gun. I only have three and this is not their 224 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: B level players. It's just be in this context, Yeah, 225 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford number four, Justin Herbert number five, C J. 226 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: Stroud number six. 227 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 2: Who do you want to touch on first? Herbert or 228 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: Herbert or Stroud? 229 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: Maybe Herbert because people are like, oh, well he the 230 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: hint win the He's had one playoff game, it's that 231 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: Jags game. He's had some pretty bad situations, and I 232 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: think we take for granted that he is elite because 233 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: of the bad situations that he's been in. 234 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: Right, He's also had some bad fourth quarter moments, and 235 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: that's what kind of. 236 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: Again I have questions, But at the end of the day, 237 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm put I'm putting an elite quarterback in that beat here, 238 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: and that's what I view with Justin Herbert. Herbert's the 239 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: first also had some great fourth quarter moments too, you know, 240 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: like I've seen him make some unconscious throws in the 241 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter as well. You know. Uh, so I like 242 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: Herbert a lot. If you I like him, I put 243 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: him above C. J. Stroud. Uh again one playoff game 244 00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: where hey, they put up some points in that one 245 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: just couldn't finish. Uh. You know we fired Staley and 246 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: Harballs in here, they have no they have no weapons, 247 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean that offensive person thing, and he keeps them 248 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: a lot alive. So I just I know Herbert is 249 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: a little bit polarizing, but I just kind of don't 250 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: care that people are going to be like, well, what 251 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: is he one yet? Okay, that's sick. What did what? 252 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: You know? What did Baker Mayfield win at this time 253 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: last year? Right? For sure? 254 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? I have Herbert as the first QB in my 255 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: in my seat here, and I very much like I 256 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 2: could very much be very okay with full flopping him 257 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: to putting him behind Lamar and my rankings in the 258 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 2: bee I'm I'm very okay with that if you really 259 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: put a gun on my head. 260 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: So how many what is your beat here? And how 261 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: many are in there? I had three staff fourtou what's yours? 262 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 2: Love? Baker Goff and then Lamar? I want to talk 263 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: about Stroud? 264 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so you have I want to talk. I want 265 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: to touch on Lamar Stroud. I don't have much touch 266 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: on he. He's outed some struggles this year, but he's 267 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: so young. I'm not gonna could be don't I'm not 268 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: gonna have the strongest taken them. You have Lamar. 269 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: Eighth. 270 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: You think his playoff of force had been that bad, 271 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: Like you're basically saying he's a choke artist and I 272 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: have no faith in him to do anything. 273 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: Now he's gonna beat tier Man, Yeah, but you put. 274 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: Him eighth below guys like Goff and Baker and Love. 275 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: I just think they're they're possible postseason runs and their 276 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: own QB play in the Lamar's got to prove to me. 277 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: Lamar's got to prove to me man, and I'm a 278 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: huge I'm a Lamar stan and I want him to 279 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: kind of prove me wrong in this context, like there's 280 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: no other QB that I'm mooing for more. But just 281 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: based on past evidence, based on even the teams that 282 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: they're on right now, I would put those qbs ahead 283 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: of Lamar, not based on talent. I'm not saying that 284 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, like Jared Goff, is a better quarterback than 285 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Baker, Mayfield, Jordan Love, none of those guys, 286 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: even Stafford, who I have an a. 287 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can't say all this just okay. So 288 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: he's like, listen, I think he's not performed to the 289 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: expectation we expect in the playoffs, but you're just like 290 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: this is like he is, he's warm blooded when it 291 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: gets to the playoffs, Like he just can't handle the 292 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: pressure when it matters the most. 293 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: I would, if I really believe that, I would have 294 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: him in sor. 295 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: Or d' let's talk about C. Yeah. So for me, 296 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: this is my number seven through twelve. Jared Goff at seven, 297 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield, Gino Smith, Jaden Daniels, Jalen Hurts. Okay, 298 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: this is my I can definitely see you getting to 299 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: the super Bowl tier. Maybe not this year, right, I 300 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: don't see I don't see Geno getting to the super 301 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: Bowl with the Seahawks team. I don't see Baker getting 302 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: to Super I don't see jad Daniels getting to the 303 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: super Bowl. But this is my like, if you're on 304 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: a really good team, I can see you in the 305 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: super Bowl tier and playing really well well, but I 306 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to be better than the other 307 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: team's quarterback. 308 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. I think I think I approach it 309 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: the same way. And I'm going to talk about something 310 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: right after I give my seat here. Justin Herbert, I 311 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: was that first guy, Jalen Hurts, I have as the second, 312 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: c J. Stroud as the third, Sam Darnold, and then 313 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 2: Gino Smith. 314 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: All right, why don't you talk to us about something? 315 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: I will talk to you about something.

So again, I described this 336 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: as the get to the Super Bowl, possibly not this year, right, 337 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: Like I don't again, I said, Baker, Gino and Jaden. 338 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: They to me they have no chance or very little 339 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: chance of getting to the super Bowl this year. But 340 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: I think if you put these guys on the Lions, 341 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: Packers or Eagles roster like Hertz Golf and love Are, 342 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: they would have that opportunity to be there. And I again, 343 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: I think you can go there. I think you can 344 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: win Super Bowl MVP. But I think when you view 345 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: the AFC quarterbacks, no matter what, you're probably going to 346 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: be the lesser quarterback on the field that day. Yeah, 347 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: because this is for me, this is all NFC team 348 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: these are these are literally six NFC quarterbacks for me. 349 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have three of them out of the five 350 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 2: our NFC quarterbacks, and then Stroud and Herbert as as 351 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 2: my other two. I know you said he didn't really 352 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: want to talk about Stroud. I have some pretty pretty 353 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: strong feelings on CJ. Stroud and that Houston Texans offense 354 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: this year. They've been a very under talked about team 355 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: when they've been extremely extremely disappointing. If you look at 356 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: EPA per play in the fourth quarter, I mean you 357 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 2: have to go down to thirty second this year to 358 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: find CJ. Stroud, you know, and part of this list is, 359 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: you know, being in clutch, being clutch in the playoffs. 360 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: I think CJ. Stroud is a clutch quarterback. I think 361 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: he's a very very good quarterback but still a great 362 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: ability to make a lot of great throws. But this 363 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: offense for Houston has really, I think disappointed him. And 364 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: I think they have reached between the health the health issues. 365 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: Maybe Bobby Slowick isn't the mastermind that we all thought 366 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: that he maybe would be. I think that Houston Texans 367 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: I think they may be a wild cardan out. I 368 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 2: think they will be a wild card and out the 369 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: team this year in the postseason. So that's why I 370 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: have Stroud third, just not the same juice that we 371 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: saw the rookie year. Who do you want to go 372 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 2: to next? 373 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: Where's Stroud overall in your rankings? 374 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: Three, six, seven, nine, nine? 375 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: Okay, I have him six, you have him nine. Mine 376 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: would be that we talked love Jared Goff Again, I 377 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: think everyone butt Lions fans would agree with us on 378 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: where we have him. And again he's he's number seven 379 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: for me in this Where do you let's talk about 380 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts? So I have Jalen Hurts at twelve. Yeah, 381 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: they have the thirty first passing offense in the NFL. 382 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: They've invested so much money into weapons around that they 383 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: should be there should be no if the criticism of 384 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: them should be like, yeah, it's good, it's a really 385 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: good passing offense, but what quarterback won it? Instead, they're 386 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: like actually having issues of the passing game when there 387 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: should there should be none, Like there should be no 388 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: issues there at all. But here's the thing is, I 389 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: don't understand what happened the twenty twenty two Jalen Hurts Again. 390 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: I want to there was if there was some regression. 391 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,239 Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, but he played so well that 392 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: year and then listen in the playoff games he didn't 393 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: have to do much. But that regular season he played, 394 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: He quarterbacked great, he was making the right decision NonStop. 395 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: The Super Bowl he played extremely well, extremely well. Is 396 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: it simply just Shane Steiken? Like it is it just 397 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken's not there and not giving him the answers 398 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: to the test. The teams are just like I just 399 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles should not be having these if won nine 400 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: straight and there's like you know, talk radio there, you know, 401 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: Brandon Graham is throwing people, you know, players under the bus, 402 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: and like, what the hell is going on there? 403 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 2: I don't think it also starts with your leadership too, right. 404 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: I don't think they have a good leader to that 405 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: team in Nick Sirianni, who that team has stayed a 406 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: flow and they've succeeded in spite of him. You know, adding, 407 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 2: you know, adding Kellen Moore is better than what they've 408 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 2: better than what they had last year. And you know, 409 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 2: Vic Vangio has really lit a spark under that young 410 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: defense and some of those players are really starting to 411 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: get it now. The difference between Hurts last year is 412 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 2: that he was genuinely just bad taking a million sacks. 413 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 2: There's no quick game in that offense. The run game 414 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: isn't as good as what it wasn't as good as 415 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: what it was last year or this year. Right, So 416 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: Hurts has fixed some of the bad issues that he's 417 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: had last year. But now the conversation has come, well, 418 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: what can you do to separate yourself and what can 419 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: you do to kind of at times put the team 420 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: on your back and make that throw? Like and part 421 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: of part of this tier maker for me and how 422 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 2: I originally worded it before we changed it through like 423 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 2: A through d can you make that throw? And can 424 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 2: you be that dude in the postseason? And there's just 425 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: way more evidence just how Jalen Hurts has played quarterback 426 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: the last two years. Twenty twenty two, he made those throws, 427 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: he was that dude. There's been way more evidence the 428 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: last two years though that there are so many other 429 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 2: guys that you would rather have making that throw and 430 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: being that dude for you than Jalen Hurts. He's also 431 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 2: barely attempted to throw the ball when trailing are down, 432 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 2: like when two minutes ago or less, or four minutes 433 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: ago or less. They've barely been down in games, and 434 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: you just know in a postseason game, there may be 435 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: a situation where you're tied or you're trailing, and it's 436 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: not going to be sick One Barkley that's going to 437 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: save the day. It's going to have to be Jalen Hurts. 438 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: And how do you Eagles fans feel about that? Probably 439 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 2: not awesome. 440 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: Let's eliminate the touch push even though you can't. Who 441 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: would you rather have quarterback in that Eagles team? Geno 442 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: Smith or Jalen Hurts? 443 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: Oh? Man, that's a I mean with the concepts that 444 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: they run where it's really downfield, right, with the weapons, I. 445 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: Would take Gino kind of yeah, which is crazy? Which 446 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: is crazy? Was the defender. I was like, I don't 447 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: like you say whatever you want about weapons. He's operating 448 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: this flawless thing and that just hasn't been that since Jayden. 449 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: I got to see it in the playoffs before I 450 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: put I have him at eleven. I just got to 451 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: see it in the playoffs. I know the Commanders haven't 452 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: been as fun recently, and they smacked the shit out 453 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: of the Titans and then have their bye week, So 454 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: my C tier is seven through twelve, Golf Love, Mayfield, Gino, 455 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, and then Jalen Hurts at twelve, even though 456 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles have the second best chance. Actually no, 457 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: we talked about the Packers and Vikings might have a 458 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: good chance to get out of there. But right so, 459 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: that means we have one tier left. That's the D tier. 460 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: That's the D tier. 461 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: How many do you have in the D tier? 462 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 2: I have four. 463 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: I have four as well too, I hope though that 464 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: would be my thirteen through sixteen thirteen Russell Wilson, same fourteen, 465 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, fifteen bow Knicks, sixteen Kirk Cousins. This is 466 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: my I don't believe in you to lead your team 467 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, and if you did, it would 468 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: be an amazing story of how everyone else on that 469 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: roster did so well. 470 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: I put the two rookies down here just because I 471 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 2: want to see it. I got to see something, you know. 472 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: I don't want to make a proclamation about any of 473 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: these guys. I'm excited to see them in a post 474 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 2: season environment. I think both of them can maybe even 475 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 2: do a little bit well. I have Russ, I have 476 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 2: Russ thirteenth as well. Then I have Jayden Daniels, then 477 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: I have Bo Nicks, and I have If I could 478 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 2: make an Ean and F tier, I would put Kirk 479 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: Cousins on there because I just I just don't believe 480 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 2: in Kirk Cousins right now. And you know, he could 481 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: still roll the ball somewhat well, but he can't move 482 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: and he's making these bad decisions and all that shit. 483 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: If Kirk, if this was Kirk Cousins before the injury, 484 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: he'd I think he'd be top of the Sea tier 485 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: for me. Now he's like, it's just it's really ugly. 486 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: And again you see high like you watched this most 487 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: recent game. You see high level quarterback and stuff. But 488 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: he can't move, he can't push off, and he has 489 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: these interceptions where they're not just a bad decision, it's 490 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: just like you know, layup duck paired with bad decision 491 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: interceptions like leading the league in interceptions this year. 492 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: All right, So now Steelers fans are mad at us 493 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: once again because we're disrespecting the Pittsburgh Steelers and we're 494 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 2: disrespecting Russell Wilson. What we both have him in the 495 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: same spot and in the same ranking. A part of 496 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: that for me is we've barely seen him throw the 497 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: ball in the fourth quarter this year. Like it's actually 498 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 2: kind of crazy where I think like forty nine attempts 499 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 2: that he's had in the fourth quarter this year. So 500 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 2: I kind of equated this as like a clutch list, 501 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: and I think Russell Wilson can be clutch. We've seen 502 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 2: him be freaking clutch. He was literally won a super 503 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: Bowl right went to another one, was at the doorstep 504 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: of winning a second one. I just don't fully, I 505 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: don't fully believe it in the postseason, and especially when 506 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: you're in the AFC. Like you said, basically any quarter. 507 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 2: But if you face Lamar, I give Lamar Jackson the edge. Right, 508 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: if you're playing CJ. Stroud, even though I think the 509 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: Texans have issues, I give CJ. Stroud the QB edge. 510 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 2: If you're facing Josh Allen Mahomes, of course you're giving 511 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: them the edge. So leave Russ them a little bit 512 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: of a tough spot. 513 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: Again, I want to believe in Russ. You know when 514 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: that first year in Denver's like is he just bad? Now? 515 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: Like that's hard to believe. I And hey, some of 516 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: this is the Steelers offensive personnel, right, maybe with maybe 517 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: if he had the Eagles personnel, we'd be much higher 518 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: on Russ. Sure, I need to see a awesome game 519 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: versus a awesome defense, and I don't think we've seen 520 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 1: that yet for Russ. We haven't seen these bad games 521 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: versus good defenses, but we haven't seen the awesome game 522 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: against a good defense. You know where his best games 523 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: are against the Bengals terrible, you know, the Giants, he 524 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: played well, the Jets, and then outside of that, he's 525 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: thrown two hundred yards or less. 526 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: Essentially, Yeah, he's ad two game against the Browns, I 527 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: mean this past week, and he won. 528 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: But he's certainly enough again, and I listen, I think 529 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: the Steelers team is capable of making a run. I 530 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 1: absolutely do. I think the defense is that good, and 531 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 1: I think Russ is running that offense the way it should. 532 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: But I don't think he's lifting you up the way 533 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that I have ahead of him, right, and listen, 534 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: I could move I can move Russ up to a response, 535 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: but nonetheless, I just I'm gonna if the Steelers, Vikings, Broncos, 536 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: or Falcons make it. I just don't think it's we're 537 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: gonna be talking. We will be because it's a quarterback league. 538 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: I don't think we're talking about like these great quarterbacks 539 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: that led their teams. I think it's just going to 540 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: be like, this is a great team effort. 541 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: If you're mad at me for having Russell Wilson below 542 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 2: Gino Smith and Sam Donald, I'll give you that. Hey, 543 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 2: I'll move him up behind. But I'm not what do 544 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 2: you what do you got? 545 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I was saying, like, are you buying into 546 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: the Sam Donald shit? We talked about how the Vikings 547 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: offense it looks makes everybody look good, Like are you are? 548 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not bought into that. If the Vikings 549 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: decide that they want to resign him, then I would, 550 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: But it's everything that's being being signaled out of there. 551 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: It's like, no, we're not resigning this guy. So it's 552 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: like if he was really that guy, then they would 553 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: be like, hey, I understood, we drafted quarterback. We found 554 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: a guy. Okay, we're gonna We're not gonna let that 555 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: go for an unknown. 556 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: I want to see what their schedule is because I 557 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 2: think they have some big games. I mean they play 558 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 2: the Bear of Seahawks, Packers and Lions. If they finished 559 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: the season really freaking strong, and they you know, maybe 560 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: even they go back to back weeks of playing the 561 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: Packers and the line strong, or maybe even beating one 562 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: or both of them, then I'll like, I'll buy into 563 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: a I believe momentum is the thing in sports, I 564 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 2: really do. And if they could heat up late in 565 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: the season with that really really tough schedule, you're on 566 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: the road against Seattle and then you play Green Bay home, 567 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 2: and then you're on the road against the Lions January fifth, 568 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: that game probably will mean maybe will mean something for seating. 569 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: I'll buy into it a little bit more, but right 570 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: now not I think they're good, but I'm not super 571 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 2: bought in yet. 572 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: Right all right, So let's recap go from sixteen to 573 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: one for a so D tier for me sixteen starting 574 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins, Bo Nicks, Sam Donald, Russell Wilson thirteen 575 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: through seven, and the C tier Jalen Hurts, Jaden Daniels, 576 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love, and then Jared Goff 577 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: at seven the B tier.
