1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: your home of the Black and Gold, Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Ally, he is Matt Williamson, and

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. And why

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: would you want to be anywhere else? Right here, right now? Absolutely? Uh, Matt,

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a look at Mark Sessler's NFL Quarterback

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Index on the NFL dot Com And well, the reason

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to do this because there's so many new

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: guys in and there's a lot of change over night. Right.

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: In fact, this is so new today. They just posted

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: it today and the news comes out in Atlanta, desm

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Mariota's on the list. That's a good move by them. Oh,

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week. I'm kind of surprised.

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: I think if if the Falcons and gotten back into

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: the game, they would have gone the ridder. At some point,

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: he might be better than Mario than he might be,

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: I mean with what they want to do right right,

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're similar styles. It makes all the

19
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: sense in the world. You at least need to look

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: at the kid before you go to the off season.

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I think do you need a quarterback

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 1: or not? Right? Right? No, I think this makes perfect

23
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: sense with the bye this week as well. So this

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: week Mark Sessler right, has Uhl Allen and they went

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: to and they've gone back to Mills. Yeah, which Alan

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: was would have high five point three yards per attempt.

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: It was so bad, awful, I mean, you have no

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: choice to go back to the middle. Guess I can't

29
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: blame them. Four interceptions for fumbles in two games. That's

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan like. Yeah, Um at thirty one, brock Purty,

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: I suppose that's where you gotta put him. I mean

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: you have to put him half to above Alan, but

33
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: you have to put him the thirties. Yeah. I'm mean

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: the people who are saying that this is gonna a

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: forty nine will be perfectly fine, you're crazy. You're fooling yourself.

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: He may manage games, you may you know, win games

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: that against decent teams. The Steelers putting in Yeah, this

38
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: is not the plan at all, um right Yeah? Uh

39
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: at thirty John Wolford, who's expected maybe to start tonight,

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: he's gonna warm up and go from there. And Baker

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: John Wolford, you're gonna try to give it a go, yes, absolutely,

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: if Mayfield plays. I mean, he's gonna have a wrist band.

43
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can have a couple of basic concepts

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: that every team runs and we'll see so real quick

45
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: on Baker, I want to throw this out there too.

46
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: I like this move by the Rams because if you

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: think about it through the comp pic window, it costs

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: you like a million bucks for the rest of the year.

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a Travisky like contract, don't you think.

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, which from the quarterback World's carries a lot

51
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: of weight in your I don't know he'll get that much.

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the only think he'll get what Mariota did

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: or Trabiski Marioda didn't get much at all. I know

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: they both were. I mean Mayfield is gonna get maybe

55
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: five million, four or five million. That's not gonna be

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: enough to offset your comps. I mean it helps your

57
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: comp equation, not really those low ends, because there's only

58
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: thirty two compics. So if it doesn't if it doesn't

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: reach that level, it doesn't help you. Yeah. I mean,

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they're a group of well enough

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: to say that they're gonna lose more than they're gonna

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: gain this weyear or I don't know, but I also

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: don't know the Stafford to be a football player next.

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: Well that's the problem, that's that's the real question. No

65
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: way of replacing him. I mean they may look at

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: and say, we don't know if staff Stafford may have

67
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: to have elbow surgery in the offseason. From what I understand,

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: he has to have a pretty extensive surgery to play again,

69
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: and he hasn't decided if he want to or not,

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: and his wife's been publicly saying I'd really like him

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: to hang it up. Yeah, so I don't think they

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: have their quarterback next right, So yeah, it could be

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield at twenty nine, Sam Donald, I forgot he's

74
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: starting up. It's hard to keep track of team. Well,

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: they are coming off to buy and they only did

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: start to watch. He wasn't horrible in that game. Yeah.

77
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: In fact, there's there's word now that they're talking about

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: keeping him around and let him be the bridge. That's

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: what he's that's what he is working, that's what he's playing.

80
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: Now you get the last five weeks to say that

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: he could be the bridge fair enough at Russell Wilson,

82
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan of the real quarterbacks should

83
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: be last. Yeah, you know, like team went in and

84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: saying you're our starter this year and are sticking with him,

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: and they married to him, and they they're married to him, right,

86
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean he makes a ton and they give up

87
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: draft picks that are yes, I mean I wouldn't want

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: that job. That's would be a tough sell. At seven

89
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: down a spot this week is Matt Ryan. They should

90
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: be right next to you. Yeah, I mean, I don't

91
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: know what you do with that. I don't think you're

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't think contractually it's that big a problem I'm

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: going from. And they at least have a first find

94
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: a new one. I mean, I think Jimmy could end

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: up there or something like that. Then you're the same.

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: You're being dead money with Ryan. And yeah, he's got

97
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven thirteen touchdowns, fourteen or thirteen interceptions, fourteen fumbles

98
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: in eleven games. The thirteen interceptions leads the league. Fourteen

99
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: fumbles has to lead the league. I mean, that's a

100
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous number that you're directly responsible for. Oh, at six

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: up a spot, it was Marcus Mariota because Ryan was

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: so bad. Um, so that's why you make the move

103
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: to Ritters. Yeah, yeah, you know, I mean I think

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: that's an easy decision. Absolutely at twenty five down a

105
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: spot mac Jones, I think that's deserved. He's been pretty bad,

106
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: that she's been pretty bad, and I don't blame it

107
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: all on him. I don't either. It's a brutal situation.

108
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: And we talked about it all preseasons that this was

109
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: just the disaster waiting to happen. It's a bad plan,

110
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: and well it's happening. That's astressly. Yeah, I mean remember him,

111
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: did you see the last week he's screaming at the coach,

112
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: throw the throw, the flipping ball, the quick Yeah, basically yeah,

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: and he's I'm not sure he's right about either, but

114
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, obviously things aren't going to play.

115
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: Is that as big a deal in New England as

116
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Pickens Slint Pikett Pickings slamming his helmet is in Pittsburgh.

117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was shocked talking about Pickens last night,

118
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: to be honest with it didn't change my life much

119
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: when it happened. I don't care. I want my one

120
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: I want my wide receivers to want the football. Yeah,

121
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: and be competitive, and the guys the only wide receivers

122
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: that I've ever been around who didn't want the football

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: quickly quickly became former NFL watch It's a it's a

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: selfish position. At four, this is how bad the guys

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: below this have played. DeShawn Watson. He was awful last week.

126
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't put him at thirty two even

127
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: though he played le two last week. I don't know.

128
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately you have to rank him. I don't

129
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: know how to do it, but I guess that's as

130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: good as spot as any because everyone below hims bad.

131
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: I bet everyone above him has a case to be

132
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: that they're doing okay. And he can play fifty four

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: and a half percent of his passes for a hundred

134
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: thirty one yards six yards per attempt and through an interception.

135
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: It like he played in ten years. Yeah, like you know,

136
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: like he has been retired. Yeah, it was bad. Like

137
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: he has to be below like a Heineke. No, yeah,

138
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: it has to be without a doubt. At twenty three,

139
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: the guy the Steelers will seat Sunday Tyler Huntley. I

140
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: guess you put Huntley over Watson. I mean, based on

141
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: recent play, that's all you got from both of them. Honestly,

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: their their games weren't that much different, right, Huntley led

143
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: one scoring drive in that game in their offense was brutal,

144
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: and that he can. Yeah, he completed eighty for almost

145
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: of his passes. Yeah, for seven yards, you know, a

146
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: big deal. I mean, I'm sure you've actor and what

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: we saw from Huntley last year if you're doing these rankings,

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, But I mean it's harder to do. What

149
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand is how he turned the football over,

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: throwing everything within in five yards of the line of scrimmage.

151
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: That's tough to do, that stuff to do, but he did.

152
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: He's twenty three, though, and he did complete all the

153
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: short ones soon at two up three spots. Is Kenny Pickett,

154
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I would have him over everyone mentioned, Yeah, I might

155
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: have him ahead a couple of the guys that Yeah,

156
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: like the Jets. Yeah, people were people were blowing up

157
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: over this Mike White thing. Oh this the Jets might

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: have found their quarterback in the future. They lost the

159
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: game last week. I don't care how many yards he

160
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: threw for. He didn't put them in the end zone.

161
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: He struggled in the first half too, and that that

162
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Vikings is bad to a couple of interceptions, He's played

163
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: two really really really bad defenses the worst defensive league,

164
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: or bought them two or three in the first start. Yeah,

165
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: let's see, you know. Yeah, he could really turn into

166
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: a pumpkin Sunday. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean he's been

167
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: better than Wilson. Did they go back to Wilson at

168
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: some point this season? No? I don't know. I mean,

169
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel they don't know if they don't go

170
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: back to him at any point this season? Blown out

171
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Yeah, I mean, I'm just thinking, how

172
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: could Zach get in there? If you have to back

173
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: to back bad games and you're still in it as

174
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, you might have to throw the first rounder

175
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: in there. And Plus, if I'm the owner, I don't

176
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: love that the second overall picks chilling out doing nothing

177
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: at the number three quarterback? Like, what are we doing here? Guys?

178
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Unless again, unless you're completely no,

179
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: he's not our quarterback of the future, Well then I'm

180
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: going to the GM and going, Okay, what what I

181
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: think we could end up there? Why do we take

182
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: this guy second overall? Yeah? I mean, mistakes happen I mean,

183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: he's not the only guy that's busted that's the top

184
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: five pick. But would they be a Pop five team

185
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Yeah? Yeah, they think they're right there with

186
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: like Sinse and Dallas and those teams. I do too. Yeah,

187
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: so Canny pick it come. His hundred Yeah, hundred straight

188
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: throws without an interception is a Steelers rookie record. Do

189
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: you know what the overall rookie record is? No? Mac

190
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: Jones last year didn't have a stretcher. No, Kyler Murray

191
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: really had two hundred eleven I believe, So that's it's

192
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: been striking distance. Yeah. Um. At one is Taylor Heineke.

193
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: I would have Heineke over Picket right now, okay, I

194
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: mean not that that could change in a minute. I mean,

195
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: Heineke could throw five picks this week, but he's helping

196
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: his team win more than Picket is in my opinion

197
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: right now. At twenty is Mike White. I see why

198
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: all three of them are lumped together. I can't put

199
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Mike White above those other two guys. I just can't.

200
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we just talked him to death, but he's

201
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: been productive in two games, not putting the ball on

202
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: the ends here's the thing. The first week, White stacked

203
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: up a bunch of a bunch of numbers in you know,

204
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: against an awful, awful defense. Uh. Last week, he didn't

205
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: get them in the end zone, even though I mean

206
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings were pretty handily in that game. I think

207
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: they have like two or more yards in Minnesota Minnesota

208
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: because Minnesota Minnesota is like, all right, go ahead and

209
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: take take all the eight yard passes you want. I

210
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: guess you were going with this. I mean there was

211
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: a lot of pre event and all that that kind

212
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: of stuff, and he still didn't when it got when

213
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: it got down to the red zone, they didn't get

214
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: They didn't get in the the end zone when it got tough,

215
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: and he had a lot of hit Garrett Wilson on

216
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: a bubble and he takes it twelve yards and yeah,

217
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's a facilitator. I mean we know that.

218
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know where to rank them. We'll know

219
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: better after this week. I think that will be yelling yeah,

220
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: uh at nineteens laugh on Monday and say of course

221
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna go to Zach Wilson. I mean that could

222
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: easily happen. Yeah, at nineteen up two spots Andy Dalton.

223
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I mean blah blah. The league's not in

224
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: great shape. If he's ten, yeah, I mean he should

225
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: be five and he really might be and he is

226
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: when everyone's healthy, you know, I mean there's no Stafford,

227
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: there's you know, I mean, I mean, honestly, right now,

228
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: would I take Kenny Pickett or Andy Dalton. I'd rather

229
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: play against Dalton absolutely now, let alone going forward like

230
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: and I bet Watson passes hum and you know what

231
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean? At eighteen, Daniel Jones good up two spots.

232
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: He's better than the White crew. He's better than Dalton.

233
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: And if he's the answer, but he's had an adequate season,

234
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: it's seven. Yeah, because he's not gonna be cheap cheap

235
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: seventeen down two spots is Kyler Murray he should really

236
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: be a dilemma. I mean they're married to him. It's

237
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: it's not as bad as Denver, but you're married to him.

238
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to hire a new coach,

239
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: you gotta fix Yer. You gotta work with Wilson. They

240
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: don't exactly seem like the salt of the earth to

241
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: hang out with every day either. You know, we're the

242
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: best leaders. You know that's brutal. At sixteen, up two spots,

243
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. He's getting better and better. He finally figured out,

244
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw the ball to Davante Adams. I

245
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: don't think he's starting it over much lately either. Um,

246
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: he did have a pick six last week. Yeah. I

247
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: remember before the season I had quarterback ranks and I

248
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: had him like twelve or thirteen. He's not far off that.

249
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: At fifteen, Jared Goff really having a good year up

250
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: four spots. Yeah, I would have Golf over car this year.

251
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: That offense we were talking about like recent d v

252
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: o A and e p A and things like that.

253
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: If you look at like their last five games, it's

254
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: like the second best offense in the league since well

255
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: since the was since I mentioned the Steelers ten throught.

256
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: The Lions are actually eighth and overall d v o

257
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: A and their defense was like thirty two. Yeah, well

258
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: in that period. Now their defense is thirteenth. Their offense,

259
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,359
Speaker 1: like to of it, their offense is eighth. Wow, okay, okay,

260
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: but recently it's been quite good. Um, and their favorite

261
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: over the bikes at fourteen, Ryan tanney Hill. Yeah, I

262
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: think he should be like right next to Andy Dolton. Yeah,

263
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: I thought Tannehill is a tremendous story trade to Dolphins

264
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: a fifth round pick for starting quarterback. But now it's

265
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: like he's never gonna get any better. I mean, like

266
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: I would much rather have cars. It's yeah, I mean

267
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: it's it's the gradual decline is here. He's two years

268
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: away from being a backup, like two years away for

269
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: me and Joe Flaco, you know, like borderline backup. You know,

270
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Mike White gets started over you. And thirteen is Trevor Lawrence.

271
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: M hm. This after a game in which they just

272
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: got destroyed by the brutal I assume he went down

273
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: a spot War two I actually went up. Really, I

274
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: guess those guys we have mentioned that weren't lighting it up. Yeah,

275
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: there's a name that's too high that but he's gonna

276
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: say soon he went up because Lamar dropped out. That

277
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: makes sense. At twelve up a spot is Kirk Cousins.

278
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: He's having a bad year, no one seems to recognize it,

279
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: and Cousins having a bad years having a better year

280
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: than Cousins. Don't get to see those guys. I mean,

281
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: if you look at the overall numbers and they're not.

282
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: But you know when they played the Eagles, when they played,

283
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, that game against the Cowboys, he was terrible, terrible.

284
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: When you look at like the advanced metrics and e

285
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: p a s and all those things, he's like twenty four,

286
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, he's just a guy

287
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: at eleven is Aaron Rodgers. I'm okay with that. It's

288
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: a little rich based on reputation. But those names we

289
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: just mentioned, if Aaron Rodgers was quarterback in the Vikings

290
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: right now, yeah, they might be unbeaten. They might be

291
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: with those weapons, but it's not like his weapons are

292
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: junk junk junk. Jefferson Jefferson, Yeah, no, you're right about that.

293
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: You're right, I mean, my goodness, right, let alone. Do

294
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: you think Rogers should be higher? I think he should be.

295
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean just I think he's playing like. I don't

296
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: think he's close to Cousins. That's what I'm saying here.

297
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he and Cousins are closing everyone the plan.

298
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: I would rather play against Cousins. Yeah, he's not having

299
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: a good year. Ten is justin Herbert. He should be five.

300
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: But I can see why he's at nine. Is Justin Fields.

301
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I put out a crazy Herbert stature. Yes, yeah, I

302
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: mean just under so much pressure and not taking sacks.

303
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I guess Fields belongs there. I can't put Justin Fields

304
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: up there. Here's why he's hard to play against before.

305
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of work to twelve games this

306
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: year that he's played in ten interceptions, thirteen fumbles, but

307
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: a great deal those were in the first months of

308
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: the season. I get it, you know. I mean, we're

309
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: gonna hold that against Kenny, to get it. But the

310
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: stats are the stats, and actually they have held it

311
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: against Kenny, right. But I think he's a much different

312
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: player than the first months of the season. They're still

313
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: not winning games, no, but his supporting cast is bad

314
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: any too. I mean, I mean he I think he

315
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: has a long way to go. And I am as

316
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: big as Justin Fields fan as you will find, but

317
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: he isn't. I would he's not playing better football than

318
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Well, it's almost like they played two different positions.

319
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: He's having a better year, is he? I think so?

320
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a heart, that's a real apples orangins.

321
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it right. I don't know.

322
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't put him in fifteen though. No, but I

323
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: can't put him. I can't put him above Rogers. I

324
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: just can't. I certainly would not have him. I can't

325
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: put him above Herbert. I was about to say that

326
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Herbert's a thousand times better player than him. Yeah. Uh,

327
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: and it ate up a spot. Tom Brady, Okay, that's

328
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: about where he belongs, if not lower. But I think

329
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: he's having a worse season than Aaron Rodgers. Again, you

330
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: took Aaron Rodgers, would have them right now. If you

331
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: put Aaron Rodgers on that Buccaneers team with those wide receivers,

332
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: it would be far and away better. Brady doesn't throw

333
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: any If he throws the ball down the field, it's

334
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: it's a bounce pass. I don't know that he has

335
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: the accuracy he wants. He doesn't have the accuracy that

336
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: he wants that. He doesn't have the arm strength that

337
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: he wants. Did I mean he certainly doesn't want to

338
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: get hit. No, he doesn't, but he's so's Rogers. I

339
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: would have Hivan Rodgers right next to each other. I

340
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: don't think Rodgers has thrown the ball well or played

341
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: particularly well this year. I mean the circumstances have something

342
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: to do with it. But he hasn't elevated people either,

343
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: not the braid he is. Unless you can elevate I mean,

344
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: you can only elevate him so far. I mean he

345
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: has Watson's playing better. I mean, you're you're the here's

346
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: a guy saying Alan Wizard stinks as that's his number one.

347
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: It's just this group, I mean quarterback eight through fifteen.

348
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: If they were coming to town this week, I wouldn't

349
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: be scared any of them right now. You know Herbert

350
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: only one. Seven is Geno Smith. I'm fine with that.

351
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: We know that's a little bit of a food gazzy,

352
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: but I mean he's having a very very good year

353
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: and it's enough games that I'm gonna a If I'm Seattle,

354
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: I would strongly consider having him be my opening day

355
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: star Wars. And that doesn't mean I wouldn't use a

356
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: first round pick on a quarterback. But Detroit and Seattle

357
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: with two first round picks each. If you don't like

358
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: this class, don't take one. If you like one, and

359
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: it's a good value, take one. But I'm bringing back

360
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: to you know, and golf too. Here's the problem with

361
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: that though, and men and if you don't take the

362
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: quarterback this year, and you play well enough next year

363
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: and you don't have two first round draft picks, then

364
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be in position to get that quarterback.

365
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: Do you trade one of those first rounds? You might

366
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: atally do the eagle Dolphin trick of I'll say I'll

367
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: move this first, take a defensive end for future first

368
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: and a third this year or something like that, and

369
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: just kick the can down the road in terms of

370
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: draft resources. Been in the league for ten years, he's

371
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: not a young man, similar to like, I mean, their

372
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: books close to written, but give you the best chance

373
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: to win next year? Yeah, yeah, you know what I

374
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: uh six is Dak Prescott. I might even have him higher,

375
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: but I'm cool with it. Yeah. Um my Twitter followers,

376
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: I said he's the best quarterback in the NFC. I

377
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: stand by it. But everyone thinks Hurts is better. They're

378
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: the top two to me, and it's not even close.

379
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: But I'd prefer him over Hurts. I definitely prefer him

380
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: over too. I just saw ever your shoulder. Ye five

381
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: is to he had a really bad game and I

382
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,719
Speaker 1: don't think he stinks or it turned into a pumpkin

383
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: but Dak Prescott and Herbert are much better players. Yeah. Again,

384
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: take either one of those quarterbacks and put them on

385
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: the in that Miami. I mean, to your point, do

386
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: you think Aaron Rodgers would do well in Miami? If

387
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers with Miami right now, Aaron Rodgers will be

388
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: the number of two or three quarterback in the league.

389
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: He may another m My problem with Rodgers I didn't

390
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: say earlier though, is he'd be happy in Miami. When

391
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: he's not happy, he just brings the whole room down.

392
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I get it. I don't

393
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: know the dude, but his body language is so bad.

394
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: He blames everybody else. When he's happy and they win

395
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: thirteen games, he's the m v P. But it's just

396
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: it's a seesaw with him. Then he gets sick of

397
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: the head coach, and you know it, sits out and

398
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: does mushrooms all week, all offseason and not on his pizza.

399
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: At four up a spot, Joe Burrow, it'd be two

400
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: for me, okay. And I got a lot of heat

401
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: because after the Steelers lost the Bengals, I said that

402
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: Burrow is the second best quarterback in the league right now,

403
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: behind my homes. Oh, you're just trying to make it

404
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: look better for your Steelers. Blah blah, blah blah blah.

405
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: I like, no, watch what he's doing. He is a

406
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: master craftsman. Right now, he's completing six of his passes

407
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: and it's not all short. They're shorter than they used

408
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: to be. But he's taking less sacks. He is a study.

409
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: He's running more. At three, Josh Allen, I get it.

410
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know if he's playing there is

411
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: the third best quarterback in the league break now as

412
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Burrows playing better than him, right, Yeah,

413
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean if I was starting a team, he would

414
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: be my second pick. But Burrows having a better year

415
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: and he's playing better. Yeah, Alan's The turnovers are still

416
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: an issue with Alan. He doesn't control control the football

417
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: sincee the arm injury particularly well either. At two, Jalen Hurts,

418
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean I got no qualms. That's

419
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: three interceptions this year. They're pretty pretty good and it's

420
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: not just running. I mean, like last week he just

421
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: ripped them up through the air. He's tremendous. See the

422
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: m v P this year. Is he the guy that

423
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: you is in the running with Mahomes. The Mahomes loss hurts,

424
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean to the Bengals, I mean I would have

425
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: I think I still pick my Homes. We would have

426
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: hurts the sixteen and one, right, That's what I'm saying, Like,

427
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: what if they if they rolled through in the coin flip?

428
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: Right now, I think Burrows now in the conversation, but

429
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: he's third. I don't think anybody else in the conversation.

430
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: Alan isn't anymore, right unless they maybe they blow up

431
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: if they win out, you know, yeah, and there's still

432
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: I just think it's still up. It's it's still for

433
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: grabs at this point. I mean it hurts. His case

434
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: is unbelievably strong. Yeah, his numbers his team twenty rushing

435
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: or twenty passing touchdowns and nine rushing touchdowns, So he's

436
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna end up with forty touchdowns probably more, Yeah, game

437
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: at least if he if he had twenty nine touchdown

438
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: passes and three interceptions. Right now, people, he's he's a

439
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: lock for the for the m v p W. Yeah,

440
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean if anyone ended the season with that, you'd

441
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: be happy. Yeah, because right now, if you look, I mean,

442
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes has thirty touchdowns, eight interceptions, two rushing touchdowns, So

443
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: if his he would be thirty two to eight, whereas

444
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: Hurts his hurts his. Yeah, I mean he has the

445
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: best numbers of any quarterback in the league. I just

446
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: think my Homes a better player. I know my Homes

447
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: a better player. That's not the argument. Who's been now.

448
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: You could argue that Mahomes is doing more with less,

449
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: and I would absolutely get It's a very good argument,

450
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: and he makes those around the better and he's harder

451
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: to play again if he took if he took Aaron

452
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers and put him on the Eagles team would be

453
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: pretty happy there too. Yeahategory I mean Brady two and yeah,

454
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of those guys, right, I mean

455
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: it would be I don't know if Brady would be

456
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: better than Hurts in the sat in Philly. Yeah, I

457
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: don't think he would be. Herbert would without a doubt. Yeah,

458
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, but I can't put Herbert too. I'm not

459
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: saying hurt shouldn't be there. He's probably had the best

460
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: year of any quarterback, and then Mahomes obviously number one.

461
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: As you said, I thought he might consider bumping him

462
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: after the Bengals lost, but it wasn't like my homes

463
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: was bad. I don't think it was necessarily him choosing

464
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: their defense is troublesome. Oh, it's very troublesome. Troublesome. It

465
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: is um. You know, if you can stop them a

466
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: couple of times, you can get them into a slug fest,

467
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: then you can beat them. Yeah. Yeah, their their defense

468
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: comes and goes. Yeah. Uh. You can subscribe to the
