1 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up, 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire Tuesday, 3 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: March ninth, and we have fire news. Dak Prescott gets 4 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: paid in the escalade. I mean, I gotta say, folks, 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: I was absolutely floored when the news hit. I think 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: I was working on my mock draft for the NBA 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: for Fox sports dot com and the tech start rolling in. 8 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: Rob g was first up, well that's what we'll be 9 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: talking about tomorrow on Straight Fire, and then just a 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: tsunami of texts coming in. Oh my gosh, Jerry Jones 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: is an idiot. I think this is a pretty cut 12 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: and dry story. And I tweeted out on Monday night 13 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott is a roor Shark test. You know, 14 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: you will see what you want to see in Dak Prescott. 15 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: If you look at the stats, you could say, well, hey, Cowboys, 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: they've missed the playoffs three of the last four years, 17 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: and then wow, well that can come on. Though. Now 18 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has more four hundred yard passing games than 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: any Cowboys quarterback ever, and nobody's rushed for more touchdowns 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: as a quarterback in Cowboys history, and then you come 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: back with, well, why are the Cowboys in the last 22 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: four years, six and twenty under Dak against teams that 23 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: end with a winning record. And then you come back with, well, 24 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: that's not Dat's fault. It's the defense and it's Mike 25 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: Nolan and blah blah, and you can do this over 26 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: and over. I think I'll start here. I need to 27 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: give props to Dak Prescott. He is an incredible success 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: story the American dream. He goes to college, he has 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: a nice four year career in the SEC, the best 30 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: college football conference in America. Congrats Dak. Oh, well, give 31 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: this NFL thing a shot. Okay, and then he goes 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: and gets popped du before the draft. Well that ain't good, 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: that's not smart. He's gonna plummet. Now he goes in 34 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: the fourth round, you know, one hundred and thirty fifth 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: overall to the Cowboys, and all he does is he 36 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: makes the most of his opportunity and blah blah blah. 37 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: About five years later, he gets basically one of the 38 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: best contracts in NFL history. I mean, this is staggering. 39 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: Four years, one hundred sixty million dollars. He went from 40 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: a fourth round pick to generational wealth and he only 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: won one playoff game. Now, I'm not gonna start in 42 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: bashing Dak. I haven't even had my hottest take yet. 43 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm just working up to it. Okay. I love this 44 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: stat that was floating around. I got this like text 45 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: from like four different people who are connected to the NFL. 46 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are paying less to Dak Prescott against their 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: cap this season twenty two point two million. Then the 48 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: Eagles are on their cap for Carson Wentz to play 49 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: for another team thirty three mill. So it's like, what 50 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: a win for Jerry. This is great. The Cowboys are set. 51 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: They got their franchise quarterback. You can't hate on that. Okay. 52 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: So I've worked, I've worked myself into a lather here, 53 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and I gotta say kudos to Dak. I'm really proud 54 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: of him. He beat Jerry Jones, a billionaire at the 55 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: negotiating table, and his shout out to his agent, Todd France. 56 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: He used to work at my shop and he's no 57 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: longer there. Dak wanted four years, Jerry said, nope, We're 58 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: doing five. Jerry caved, and Dak got four. Dak got 59 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: a no trade clause, he got a no tag clause, 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: so he can't franchise tag him again. I mean, Dak 61 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: won all around. But the real story here, folks, is 62 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys super Bowl window with Dak Prescott is next season. 63 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: That's it. After that, this probably will go down as 64 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: one of the worst quarterback contracts in NFL history if 65 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't make a run to the super Bowl 66 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: this season. Okay, because remember Dak is saving them fifteen 67 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: mill if he were on the franchise tag thirty seven mill. 68 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: He's only a twenty two million dollar cap hit this year. 69 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: So he even was like, hey, Jerry, you're hooking me 70 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: up with the no tag claws and the no trade. 71 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: I'll do you a solid. I'm only gonna be a 72 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: cap hit of twenty two mills this year. So they 73 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: basically just got fifteen mills that they can play with. 74 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys have a window next year to go 75 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. And this is good news for 76 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys fans. I looked at the schedule. The schedule 77 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: is not out in order, but the opponents are Are 78 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: you ready for this? The Cowboys are gonna only face 79 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: one playoff team from last year at home at Jerry 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: World next season, and that's the seven and nine Washington 81 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: Football Club. That's it. At home, they could run the table. 82 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: The non conference opponents they will face at home Atlanta, 83 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: new coach Carolina uncertain quarterback, Las Vegas Raiders, no idea, 84 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: what's going on with that franchise. They'll they'll either go 85 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: five and ten or sorry, they'll either go five and 86 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: eleven or eleven and five. The Denver Broncos also no 87 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: quarterback Arizona I'm bullish on but we'll see. And of 88 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: course the regular NFC East teams. Now, the road schedule 89 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: is lethal. Okay, at the Saints, we'll see, Okay, we'll 90 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: see no Drew Brees. We think Jay Glazer reported months 91 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: ago no Drew Brees, but we'll see. They probably take 92 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: a step back. They have to travel to Tampa to 93 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: face the defending Super Bowl champs. They have to travel 94 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: to k C to face Patrick Mahomes. They have to 95 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: travel to La to face Justin Herbert, and they have 96 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: to travel to the Vikings, who will be better next year. 97 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how much better, but they will be improved. Overall, 98 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: that's a favorable schedule. Dallas should be a playoff team 99 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: next year. If they're not, you know what's gonna happen. 100 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Everybody will blame Dak's son, Stephen Jones, for screwing up 101 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: in free agency. They'll blame the head coach McCarthy, maybe 102 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: he gets fired if they If they don't make the 103 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: playoffs next year, everybody will get blamed except Dac. Of course, 104 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: that's how it works in Dallas. I will say the 105 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: super Bowl window for Dallas is next year, and that's 106 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: it because that's when the cap savings start to go up. 107 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: And let's remember Ezekiel Elliott, a lot of tread on 108 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: those tires, big contract, Amari Cooper, kind of a disappointment 109 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: last year. Dak's going into a ready made team. But 110 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: we heard this last year. Last year Dallas and Dak. 111 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: Oh we're a super Bowl odds. Oh, everybody loves them. Okay, 112 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: you'll start out one and three with Dak. But again, 113 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: we can't blame Dak Prescott for some reason. You have 114 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: to use the kid gloves around Dak. You can't blame 115 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: him for the Rams loss he was not, can't blame 116 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: him for the Seattle loss, can't blame him for the 117 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: Brown's loss. Obviously, the defense it was a joke. You 118 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: gotta blame the defense, now, the one logical defenses. Well, 119 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: Dak did lose to three playoff teams, and then he 120 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: got the nasty ankle injury, which we haven't even talked about. Like, 121 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they say no Achilles with Kevin Durant, but 122 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: Dak's ankle was pointing the wrong way. It was a 123 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: grotesque injury. I'm sure he'll be fine and heal from that, 124 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: but there probably are gonna be some psychological scars from 125 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: looking down at your ankle seeing it twisted the wrong 126 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: way on yet another rollout? Is Dak gonna be as 127 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: comfortable leaving the pocket? Will the Cowboys want They're forty 128 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: million dollar man leaving the pocket as often? I would 129 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: guess No. Now he's gonna have an incredible group of 130 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: receivers Gallop, CD Layham, Wari Cooper. They have a stacked team, 131 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: but can the offensive line and hold up? And I 132 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: just I really believe there is joy in Dallas, Texas 133 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: newis scrugs. I guess we had last week. He's all 134 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: chirp and on social media, can't wait to enjoy up 135 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: my steak dinner. Jay fine by me Listen I didn't 136 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: give Dak forty mil a year. Our bet was would 137 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: he get thirty eight? And he got forty. And I 138 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: gotta say, guys, this is going to go down if 139 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: they don't win get to the super Bowl next year. 140 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't not even say win it. Get to the 141 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Hell win two playoff games. This will be 142 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: one of the worst quarterbacks contracts in NFL history. It's 143 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: that bad when you look at it. Okay, somebody joked 144 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: to me Blake Bortles has more playoff wins than Dak Prescott. 145 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: And again, playoff wins, what are they? Mark Sanchez has four? 146 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: Like what is he gonna cuddle with those at night? Like? 147 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Dak's swimming in money. There's there 148 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: are some questions besides the ankle, is the offensive line'm 149 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: gonna come back? How is Dak gonna handle getting heid? 150 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: And listen, a lot of guys have shown up in 151 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: a contract year and played out of their minds in 152 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: the NBA, Major League Baseball, NFL. This happens often, and 153 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: then they get paid and then I don't know what's 154 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: the quote. It's difficult to wake up and grind at 155 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: six am when you're sleeping on silk sheets and silk pajamas. 156 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: I forget who the boxer was. Rob g can check 157 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: me on it. But the idea that you could give 158 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott one hundred and twenty six milk guaranteed when 159 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got one hundred twelve to me is mind 160 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: blowing and maybe I'm not cut out to be an 161 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: NFL GM. That being said, I would have paid Dak 162 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: a year ago. I wouldn't have paid him what he wanted, 163 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: but what he wanted a year or two ago was 164 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: significantly less than Deshaun Watson because Watson hadn't been signed. 165 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: The Cowboys royally screwed this up. We know that I 166 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: do like this tweak. You know this was courtesy of 167 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: Dak and his agent. Richest signing bonus in NFL history 168 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: was Russell Wilson sixty five mill. Dak Prescott has now 169 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: eclipsed it with sixty six mill a week after Russell 170 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Wilson was like, yeah, I'll go to the Cowboys. I 171 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: kind of like that dig. But again, congrats to Dak Prescott. 172 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: His first three years he will average making forty two 173 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: million a year. That's incredible. I mean, I said, it's 174 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: generational wealth, but it's not really it's what multi generational 175 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, is this gonna set up like 176 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: his kids, his grandkids, their kid Like, I mean, Dak's 177 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: set for life, and I hope he wins, but frankly, 178 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: he just won getting this contract. That's really all the matters. 179 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: He can Anybody can take the heat. Hey you made 180 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: a lot of money. You didn't get to the super Bowl. 181 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: Well I got paid. I'm living the dream. You know. 182 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: I hope Dak wins. The schedule sets up, but the 183 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: pressure's on next year. Dak better deliver and get them 184 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. I personally don't think it happens. 185 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: We know the Eagles, they're rebuilding. You saw, I'm sure 186 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: you saw the owners like, oh, we got Jalen Hurts 187 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: next year. Hooray. Like, come on, dude, get a clue. 188 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was your guy. Okay, It's just Carson Wentz 189 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: wanted out of town because he was shot. He went 190 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: off Chuck knoblock on that ass. And then the owner 191 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: was like, oh, we gotta turn our attention to Jalen Hurt. 192 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: She's our guy. You know. That's kind of a joke. 193 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: The New York Giants are a laughing stock, and I 194 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: guess Washington should contend again. But I mean, if you're 195 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: going into the season with your quarterbacks Taylor Heineke or 196 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, good effing luck. I mean, you know, Washington, 197 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: they got they got some room to grow there. They 198 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: got some problems of their own. But right now, listen, 199 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: Rob g. I don't know where you are on this, 200 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: but I'm happy for Dak vid he got paid. I 201 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: personally don't think he's worth it, but I'm sure you 202 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: have other insights. No, well, again, kudos to Dak Prescott 203 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: who turned down thirty million dollars a year August twenty 204 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: nineteen and bet on him self and ended up getting 205 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: forty plus million dollars a year, so he secured the bag. 206 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: There's you always got to apply someone for doing that. 207 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit surprised that you said that the 208 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys super Bowl window is just next season only because 209 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know they had a super Bowl window for 210 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: there to exist. I mean, I think they have what 211 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: one playoff victory and twenty years something stupid like that. 212 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: They're they're more likely to miss the playoffs altogether than 213 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: they are to win the super Bowl next season. So 214 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: I mean I would, I would, I don't know that 215 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: I would agree, Well, win the super Bowl is tough. 216 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: How about this. It's a success if they win two 217 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: playoff games and get to the super Bowl. But I 218 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: think that window closes rapidly. Tyron Smith thirty, You know 219 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: that offensive line is starting to creep up, Lyle Collins. 220 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the injuries are mounting for these guys. You know, 221 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: we saw three years ago, Rob how awesome that offensive 222 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: line was, and now they're rebuilding it like on the fly. 223 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: That ain't easy, right Ezekiel Elio? How an good years? 224 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: I've left one and a half? Maybe no, But I 225 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: mean with the Cowboys, it's not even just the age 226 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: and the injuries. It's that Jerry Jones just might be 227 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: the worst builder of a football team in NFL history. 228 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Nui Scruggs brought it up last week. If 229 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: you have a contract gripe and you want to get 230 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: paid and you're not happy, all you gotta do is 231 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: talk to Jerry Jones and he is going to cave 232 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: because he traded that first round pick for Amari Cooper, 233 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: didn't extend him. Wait until he a free agency had 234 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: to pay him even more. DeMarcus Lawrence wasn't happy with 235 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: this deal, got a massive pay day. Ezekiel Elliott after 236 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: what we just saw with Todd Gurley getting that money 237 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: early and being a colossal failure with the Rams secured 238 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: the bag early. I mean, they are going to be 239 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: in such salary cap hell moving forward that there is 240 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: no way they're gonna be able to build a competitive team. 241 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: And less somehow he becomes the greatest drafter in NFL 242 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: history and he makes the defense, you know, the two 243 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: thousand Baltimore Ravens because they're gonna have so much tied 244 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: up into like six guys. Yeah, and you know, you 245 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: just said something that triggered a new thought in my head. 246 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: So Dak is getting an average of forty mill Okay, 247 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: Next up is Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Baker Mayfield. Okay, 248 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has I think two or three playoff wins, 249 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo was in the AFC title game. Rob Josh Allen 250 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: has got to get more money than Dak Prescott. Correct, 251 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: of course, if his agents worth a thing, of course. Yeah. 252 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: So Lamar Jackson has an MVP award. I think he's 253 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: been to the playoff three straight years. He didn't win 254 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: one the first two, but then he won one last year, 255 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: and he's gotta get more money than Dak Prescott. Correct, 256 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: of course he does. Okay, So Baker Mayfield cycled through 257 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of bum coaches, then gets a good one 258 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: and guests to the playoffs and wins in Pittsburgh. I 259 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: know Ben Roethlisberger really gave that game away, but Baker 260 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: Mayfield was the number one pick in the draft. Uh, 261 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: he's got to get more money than Dak Prescott, does 262 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: he not? No, He's the one I would push back 263 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: on because I think that really what the Stefanski offense 264 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: proved is the same thing that the Shanahan offense has 265 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: proved and in the forty nine ers is I don't 266 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: need an upper echelon quarterback to organstrate my offense. Okay, 267 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: So I like that strategy. Stefanski. Hey, we got to 268 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You had a very good year, but we 269 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: don't need an upper guy to get So, you know, 270 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: we had somebody invested the number one pick in you, 271 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: but we're not going to give you Dak Prescott money, 272 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: like you're gonna have to tag Baker or lose him 273 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: and start over with like a case Keenum or somebody. Yeah, 274 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: I mean, and you could even make the case that 275 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,239 Speaker 1: they would have been just as good with Ryan Fitzpatrick 276 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: if they as they would have been a Baker Mayfield. 277 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: But I think Ryan Fitzpatrick, whop by the way, has 278 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: never been to the playoffs in his career. Oh gosh, 279 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: if Baker Mayfield makes it, this is never a good team. 280 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: And I'm supposed to be impressed by it, Okay, Dak 281 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: basically just I think this is the popping of the 282 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: quarterback salary bubble? Is it? Not? Like Mahomes? Nobody nobody 283 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: blinked when he got five hundred million dollars right ten 284 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: years five, and nobody blinked. Guy won a super Bowl 285 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: and an MVP. Come on, Mahomes, you need him. This 286 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: is a guy who's done. Dare I say like nothing? Like? 287 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: I know, he's puts up some good stats, He's had 288 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: great people around him. Rob. I'm just I'm lost here. 289 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: Forty million dollars for Dak Prescott. I don't I don't 290 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: see where we go from here. I think the Rams 291 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: are really onto something with dumping golf as quick as 292 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: they could and McVeigh hinted at this that he would 293 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: love to just get a quarterback on the rookie deal, 294 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: ride it out for four years, build a team, and 295 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: then dump the quarterback and do it all over again. 296 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: I do believe we are getting dangerously close to that territory, 297 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: are we not. Yeah, I think you could definitely make 298 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: that case. And I'm glad you brought up Patrick Mahomes 299 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: because when I first saw the details starting to trickle 300 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: out about the Dak Prescott deal, my first thought was, man, 301 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones got destroyed in this. In this negotiation, he 302 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: did not get anything on his end. He conceded everything 303 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott. Whatever Dak wanted, he gave up. But 304 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: my second thought was the next loser in all this 305 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: is Pat Mahomes because even though he got that five 306 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract, which was the big headline that 307 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: everybody was talking about, Oh he got half a bill, 308 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: he got half a billy. You know that Dak Prescott 309 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: is getting more in his first three years than Pat 310 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: Mahomes got that. Pat Mahomes only got thirteen percent of 311 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: his contract guaranteed. And now we you and I have 312 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: talked about this a long time ago before we ever 313 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: had the podcast. After Pat Mahomes signed his deal, the 314 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: Athletic did a big deep dive with a bunch of 315 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: agents and getting their thoughts on their upcoming season and 316 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: some of the things that happened. And to a man, 317 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: every single quote in that column about the Pat Mahomes 318 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: deal was negative because he took a big, lengthy contract 319 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: that it kind of skipped free agency. With lack of 320 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: a better word, he's never going to get there. He 321 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: didn't get more guaranteed when he was If there was 322 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: ever a player in NFL history that could get a 323 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: fully guaranteed deal would be him. And I think he 324 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: took something like a ten million dollars signing bonus at 325 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: the time when he you know, you're getting half a billion, 326 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: you could have got one hundred and fifty million guaranteed 327 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: and it would you wouldn't even blink an eye. And 328 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: so for Dak Prescott to sign a deal that he 329 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: did yesterday, and Charles Robinson from y'all who actually illustrated 330 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: this in a tweet, deal is four years. But you know, 331 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: the way these things all work, once you get towards 332 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: the end of the deals, when you start renegotiating. We're 333 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: seeing that with Tom Brady. Tom Brady is in the 334 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: last year of his deal, so they're gonna renegotiate him 335 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: a couple more years, spread it out and get him 336 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more money. It's really like a three 337 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: year deal. So when Dak in three years from now 338 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: and the TV money has just came in, the new 339 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: gambling money which we know is all coming is coming in, 340 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: He's going to be renegotiating again. So at his trajectory 341 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: that Dak Prescott is into with this contract, he is 342 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: gonna blow that Pat Mahomes half a billy out of 343 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: the water when it's all said and done. And we 344 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: can all agree that Pat Mahomes is arguably already one 345 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play, and Dak Prescott 346 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: is maybe top ten right now, but maybe top five 347 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: in Cowboys history. No, it's interesting you bring that up. 348 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: I guess my counter, and this is not a great counter, 349 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: but it is speaking to Mahomes and what he wants 350 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: to accomplish. Tom Brady has never been the highest paid 351 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. He don't care. He would rather 352 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: win and bolster his legacy. He also has his supermodel 353 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: wife to lean back on who's made a lot of 354 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: money Mahomes Brady would rather win. Now, Mahomes is not 355 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: apples to apples, but remember his father was a professional 356 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: baseball player. Okay, many years Mahomes didn't grow up. Really 357 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: needn't much. Okay, this guy grew up. You know, I 358 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: don't want to We've compared him to Steph Curry on 359 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: the podcast. I think there's a similarity there. Mahomes also 360 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: got first round money. I think he was a tenth 361 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: overall pick of the Chiefs. Dak Prescott was air quotes here, folks, 362 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: only making like eight hundred thousand on his rookie deal. 363 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: So Jerry Jones is such an idiot and felt so 364 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: bad for Dak and his broken ankle that he overpaid. 365 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: It's not quite what the Lakers gave Kobe Layton his career, Like, hey, 366 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: thank you for your service. Here's a vast overpay. Essentially, 367 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was like, you know what, you weren't making 368 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: much the last three years. You were good, and I 369 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: feel bad that you broke your ankle. Or fans love you. 370 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: Here's a pad on the back in forty mil Do 371 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: you feel like there's part of that overpaid aspect to it. Yeah, 372 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you could say that, But then 373 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: I also, you know, just to go back to the 374 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: Tom Brady thing, I mean, this idea that's been perpetuated 375 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: in the media that he was taking less money than 376 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: he could have gotten is grossly exaggerated because whither but 377 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,479 Speaker 1: while his cap number was never the highest and he 378 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: was never the highest, you know, per year, of what 379 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: he was getting every time he negotiated, you know that 380 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: he was getting cashed out up front. So they're kicking 381 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: the can down the road. But it's not like he 382 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: wasn't getting paid. He made almost two hundred and fifty 383 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: million dollars in New England, so it's not like he was, 384 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: you know, clutching purses, you know, for Tom Brady, he 385 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: wasn't taking Yeah, he got paid. No, yes, I mean, listen, 386 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: it's one thing, though, to be paid what market ish 387 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: rate versus I demand to be the highest paid. Like 388 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: we've gone through this. When you asked to be the 389 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: highest paid, all of a sudden the roster starts to 390 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: look incredibly weaker around you. This has happened for I 391 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: don't know the last six or seven years now. It 392 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: didn't kick in yet from Mahomes at least this past season, 393 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: but it will. I think next season it kicks in, 394 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: so we'll start to see some crumbling. We saw it 395 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: with golf in the Rams as soon as he signed 396 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: his deal next year. Oh man, these guys got holes. 397 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: They were able to patch it quickly with the Jalen 398 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: Ramsey deal, and they're punting on first round picks. There 399 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: are ways around it. Jerry Jones just said, we're just 400 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: taking this head on. I don't care we're paying and 401 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: it's idiocy. But he's a billionaire and he can do 402 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: whatever the hell he wants. It's his team. Fox Sports 403 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 404 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot 405 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live. 406 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: This whole narrative, and I know we didn't even plan 407 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: on talking about this, but it's kind of come up 408 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: in the conversation is guys should feel guilty, I guess, 409 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: for getting the most money that they can and I 410 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: think that that is absolute hogwash in the NFL. In 411 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: the NFL, the not for long league, where you can 412 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: get cut at the drop of a dime for a 413 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: guy like Tom Brady, a guy like Pat Mahomes to 414 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: give a quote unquote hometown discount to their team to 415 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: build around them is doing a disservice for the guys 416 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: coming after them. You brought up right now about Doc Prescott. 417 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: This is gonna set up Josh Allen to get paid. 418 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: This is gonna set up Lamar Jackson. It might set 419 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: up Baker Mayfield, depending what Cleveland decides about him. And 420 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna get set up, and then the next guys 421 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: are gonna get set up, and then the guys after 422 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: that are get set up. Because Dak Prescott said, no, 423 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm not taking less, No, I want to get my 424 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: market value. No, you're not gonna lowball me because on 425 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and I'm gonna get the endorsement 426 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: money on the back end. You're gonna pay me what 427 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: market value is for a franchise quarterback. You're gonna pay 428 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: me what the highest amount guy is getting plus one dollar. 429 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Because that's the way it works nowadays. And so when 430 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: guys like Tom Brady and like you mentioned, Pat Mahomes 431 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: decide that they'd rather give some of it back, I 432 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: think that it's not in the bigger picture a positive 433 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: thing for his peers and the guy's coming after him. Yeah, 434 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: I hope it wasn't coming across as everybody should take 435 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: less so you can win. I think it's kind of similar. 436 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: But if you want to ensure or no, not insure, 437 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: if you want to enhance your chances of winning, take 438 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: less and trust your front office. I'm not saying you should. 439 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean, hell, Dak Prescott should not. I don't think 440 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: he should have taken less. He should have found the 441 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: sucker who's going to pay him the most, and that 442 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: suckers Jerry Jones. I maintain if if Dak Prescott hit 443 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: the open market, ain't nobody paying him forty million year? 444 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: They're just not you know, I did not see that materializing. 445 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: Now other people say, oh yeah, Glad Andrew brandt On here, 446 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: somebody would pay him. But again, do you remember Matt 447 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: Ryan got paid huge, huge money. Okay, got to a 448 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Have we heard from Matt Ryan since you 449 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: go on down the list? Ben Roethlisberger got paid? Has 450 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: he been back to a Super Bowl? You know? I mean, 451 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, Drew Brees like, it's difficult to get to 452 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when the quarterbacks are making all of 453 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: the money the and the one guy who continuously keeps 454 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: getting to the Super Bowl rob is Tom Brady. I 455 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: don't like how it's set up. The structure is not good. 456 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: Like Tony Romo kept getting paid, he was always one 457 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: of the highest paid quarterbacks. Guy won two playoff games. Again, 458 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Tony Romo should have taken less. Get 459 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: whatever you can, like you said, not for long. Lebron 460 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: has always demanded that he be one of the highest 461 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: paid players in the league. He's always getting those max steals. 462 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: He wants to own a team here soon and he 463 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: probably will own a team in about ten years. And yeah, man, 464 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: get what you can, fight for the most you can. 465 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: That being said, the one guy who hasn't fought for 466 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: the most, Tom Brady has ended up on the most, 467 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: with more Super Bowls than anybody could dream of. I 468 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: think Tom Brady's been to more Super Bowls. What was 469 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: the SAT then half the franchises in the last forty 470 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: years or something, or maybe more than half. Like Rob, 471 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: there is something to that, is there? Not? Yeah, but 472 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: you know it's funny is tom Brady didn't take a 473 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: discount to go to Tampa. He's not going to take 474 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: a discount when he gets his extension here in the 475 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: next couple of so I'm assuming this week he's gonna 476 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: get it. I don't expect him to take a discount. 477 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: Then what's I got to look up who the highest paid? 478 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: But what do you mean by take a distance? Three 479 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: years old? Tom Brady is a very good quarterback. He 480 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: is still an upper tier quarterback. I wouldn't say he's no. 481 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: Is he top ten? He's probably on the back end 482 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: of there, probably somewhere right there. Is he above? Is 483 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: he above Dak Prescott? Oh? Yeah? But he's also at 484 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: the back end of his career. So you're not paying 485 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: for future performance with Tom Brady. You're kind of paying 486 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: year to year at this point. But am I crazy 487 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: for saying that Tom Brady should not be getting more 488 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: than thirty million dollars dollars a year for his next contract, 489 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: especially considering he's year to year and it's almost fully 490 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: guaranteed whatever he's getting. It's not like it's not like, 491 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't even know who would be 492 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: a good example, But let's say Pat Mahomes is getting 493 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, eleven million this year until it kicks into 494 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: sixty the following year. Like, that's not what's happening. Tom 495 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: Brady is getting twenty five regardless this season, if he 496 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: extends or not. So if he extends, he's going to 497 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: probably get twenty seven twenty eight, but it's fully guarante. 498 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: Twenty seven twenty eight is way I mean, that is 499 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: super below market value. So last year, the cap number 500 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: was thirty one mill on Dak Prescott did not make 501 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Cap number on Russell Wilson was number two. 502 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: Thirty one mill did not win a playoff game. Jared 503 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: Goff twenty eight mil, Jimmy Garoppolo twenty six, Rivers twenty five. Brady, 504 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: the sixth highest cap hit, won the Super Bowl. Now 505 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes is way down the list because he was on 506 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: the final year of his rookie deal. But again you're 507 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: seeing these guys. I mean, we could do this almost 508 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: every year, the highest paid the biggest cap hits, by 509 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: the way, twenty nineteen, Matt Stafford was number one. Now 510 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was number two. Did a great job, got 511 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: to the NFC championship. Kirk Cousins one. I think, yeah, 512 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: he definitely wanted a playoff game. Russell Wilson I think 513 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: lost in the first round again. Ben Roethlisberger injured, Eli Manning, garbage, 514 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: Cam Newton trash like, I mean, we could do this 515 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: every year. How do you thread the needle? Then, Rob, 516 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: I guess that's what we need to do. We need 517 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, if you don't want to go to 518 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Brady route, but you want to go the Dack route 519 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: and get paid, is there a middle ground where it 520 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: can be win win for everybody. Yeah, And it's what 521 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,239 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones should have done two years ago. Is you 522 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: pay the guy now. You don't let him get a 523 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: chance to get the franchise tag and then hit free 524 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: agency and then have to franchise him again or pay 525 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: him the greatest contract ever. You say. The Raiders and 526 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: Derek car are a perfect example. At the time when 527 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: he got his think twenty four twenty five million dollar contract, 528 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're really overpaying for Derek Carr. You know, 529 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: that's that's absurd money to give the guy who had 530 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: one good season. And then you look at it now 531 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: you're like, man, Derek Carr is a bargain. I see 532 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: now why they're not so gung ho to give up 533 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: seven first round page for Russell Wilson because you can 534 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: build a team around a guy like that. So what 535 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones did and what he continues to do, is 536 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: he waits to pay these guys until either their free 537 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: agency is upon them or they've already reached a multiple 538 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl you know, eleven Zacks season, two thousand yard 539 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: receiving whatever, and he pays them too late. I mean, 540 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: the only exception would be Ezekiel Elliott. And what he 541 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: did with them was he basically did the same thing 542 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: because he would have paid him the same amount as 543 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: a free agency would have gave him three years before 544 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: his contract was. He gave him the richest contract ever. 545 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: So he screwed up already in that regard. He reset 546 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: the market at such a high point it wouldn't matter 547 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: when he would have paid him. So, okay, so let's 548 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,479 Speaker 1: spin it forward. So Dak just got paid an obscene 549 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: amount of money. What do you do if you have 550 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, or you have Baker Mayfield, or you have 551 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, extend him right now, you go. But here's 552 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: the thing. Why would the player rush to be the 553 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: first when if Josh Allen signs first. He just knows 554 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 1: the guy who comes after hims getting next, because that's 555 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: the way this dumb market is broken. So somebody's gonna 556 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: end up getting screwed here, and it's gonna be one 557 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: of the teams. Yeah, but I mean, would you rather guarantee, 558 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to be paying Lamar Jackson 559 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: forty one million dollars per year for the next four years, 560 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: or that will not listen. I like Lamar, that will 561 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: not end well. Or okay, he has a sick roster, Ravens, 562 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: I have one of the best rosters in they do, 563 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: and it's built completely around him, So that's why I 564 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: think he is exactly Or would you rather wait another 565 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: year and you're paying him forty five million a year? Okay? 566 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: So Baker Mayfield and the Browns, if you look at 567 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: their schedule, and I did, like an idiot, there's gonna 568 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: be some regression coming here. I like the Browns next year. 569 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: I liked them a lot. This year. I had a 570 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: future ticket on them to get to the playoffs. It 571 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: was cashed. It was very good. I will need to 572 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: drive out the Vegas to cash that ticket. That being said, 573 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: if you give. If you give Baker Mayfield a deal 574 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: that gives him forty million dollars a year and they 575 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: go out and he go, they go seven and nine 576 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: and miss the playoffs, then what then? What? Rob? Like, 577 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: I know that's the move. You gotta pay early. But 578 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean the only guy I would definitely go out 579 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: and pay right now is Josh Allen. I would definitely pay. 580 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: I think, you know, last year obviously was ridiculous and 581 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: they got to the AFC title game, but that roster's 582 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: built to win now, and I trust Josh Allen going 583 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: forward more than I do Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield. 584 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: Right well, I think Baker Mayfield the outlier of that trio. 585 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way anybody with a a any 586 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: kind of eye for football can tell you that he 587 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: is not worth upper echelon quarterback money. He's nowhere close 588 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: to the top ten has a quarterback he But the 589 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: problem is he's had crap coaches. They've cycled. I think 590 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: in his first three years they had Hugh Jackson and 591 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: then Freddie Bathrooms, and then they had uh Stefanski and 592 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: year three right, Yeah, but he also has arguably the 593 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: best receiving corps in football the last two season don't 594 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: went down I think halfway through. Yeah, and he got 595 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: better because you know what they did where he's gonna 596 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: run the ball even more and we're gonna play action 597 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: like if you're if you're a guy who I'm gonna 598 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: say like a Bucky Brooks, that's all the time. You're 599 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: either a truck or a trailer. And the truck are 600 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: the guys who can haul the rest of whatever you 601 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: have and get it to where it needs to go. 602 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: So if you're a quarterback, that's a guy like Aaron Rodgers, 603 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: that's a guy like Russell will I'm assuming Russell Wilson. 604 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: Even we'll see the curios out on him. Tom Brady, 605 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: were you like, you know what, whatever you have around me, 606 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the reason we're gonna win. Put the 607 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: game on my shoulders. I will carry us where we 608 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: gotta go. The trailer is a guy who needs everybody 609 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 1: else around him to pull him forward. And Baker Mayfield 610 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: we've seen throughout his career and it's never been more 611 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: evident than last season that they couldn't be any single 612 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: good team the regular season and they still made the playoffs. 613 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: He needs a running game. He needs a very above 614 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: average defense, and he needs a ton of weapons around 615 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: him for him to have any kind of success in 616 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: the NFL. What is Dak Prescott? That's here? You're right? 617 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: What are you talking? I mean, like, I think you 618 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: were the one who gave me the stat that he's 619 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: six and twenty against teams that finished the season over 620 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: five hundred in the last three seasons or four or whatever, 621 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: not counting his rookie season. Yeah, six and twenty. So 622 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: I mean you look at dude, Look at Dak. They 623 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: handed him at the time the best offensive line in 624 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: the league. You spend a top five pick on Ezekiel Elliott, 625 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: you say we gotta get him Ry Cooper, Okay, let's 626 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: add another first round pick on CD Lamb Like it's 627 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: all set up for Dak. Like, I don't see how. 628 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: And again, I know some of the numbers say he's 629 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: been better than Baker, no doubt about it. I just 630 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: don't know right now if if I think Dak Prescott 631 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: is that much better than Baker Mayfield and he just 632 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 1: Seymour Baker. Obviously early Baker was a problem, but he 633 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: also had you know, head coaching issues that the head 634 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: coach didn't like him and started Tyrod Taylor, and then 635 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: him and the coach are going at it. And then 636 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: he had Freddy Kitchens, who was in over his head, 637 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, and Stefanski, finally an adult steps in the room, 638 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 1: and Baker has a great year. Yeah, I mean, well 639 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: once again mayfielder or Dak Prescott. Well, I got Dak 640 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: in that way. But it goes back to the premise 641 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: of your entire podcast. Is the biggest loser and all 642 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: this was Jerry Jones. Dak Prescott was the big winner. 643 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: He secured the bag. He got a lot more than 644 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: I think he probably should have gotten, or I would 645 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: have given him if I was running a team. But 646 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: he got what he got, and Jerry Jones was the 647 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: big loser in all this. So he I just I 648 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: give them a one year super Bowl window. That's it. 649 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: It's it's gone after one year. That's the savings that 650 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: Dad gave him. I'm gonna give you a year, but 651 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: I need to cash it. And speaking of Baker, Mayfield 652 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: had his best year by far. He cut turnovers from 653 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: at fourteen picks than twenty one, than eight, and his 654 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: yards per attempt was still good seven point three so 655 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: it's not like he was dinking and dunking like Baker, 656 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: like Ben Roethlisberger. QB rating was the best ever. QBR 657 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: was the best ever. Baker Mayfield the arrows pointing up. 658 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: The Browns are gonna have to pay him, you know, 659 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: maybe you oh Man, I just I don't know that 660 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: there is an easy solution to paying these quarterbacks. They're 661 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: just there's no easy way out. You know. I used 662 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: to get in arguments with when I did some radio 663 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: hits with Rob Parker. We would do the Dan Patrick 664 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: Show and we would argue about Wentz and Dak and 665 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: his whole argument about Dak why he was better was 666 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: Dak's available. Part of part of being great is being available. 667 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is always hurt, Okay, Dak press God went 668 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: out with the ankle injury. He's not available. He was 669 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: not available last year. Like you could go back and 670 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: forth on Wentz and Dak. I think clearly Wentz looks broken. 671 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: Dak is not Dak broken ankle, but his game don't 672 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: look broken. Carson Wentz has major problems and they still 673 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: paid him like this, Just I mean, they paid Goff. 674 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: We knew golf wasn't great but he got to a 675 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Well what okay, rob, let's finish up on this. Well, 676 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: now I have one other story I want to quickly 677 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: touch on. Who do you think has a better season 678 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 1: next year? Jared Goff in Detroit, Carson Wentz in Indie, 679 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: or Dak Prescott in Dallas. This shouldn't be difficult by 680 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: better statistically or just a better season like they're winning 681 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: more both stats and winning. Oh well, I think they're 682 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: two different answers. I think the better season is going 683 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: to be Carson Wentz, so I think statistically it's gonna 684 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: be Dak Prescott. See that's what's interesting. What happens if 685 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz with Frank Reich and the Colts get to 686 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: the playoffs and Dak misses. Now, if Dak misses in 687 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 1: that division, he's gonna have problems. Like there's no excuses 688 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys next year. I just run off the schedule, folks. 689 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: It's a joke. One home game he gets a playoff 690 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: team last year, and that was Washington. Okay, no, but 691 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: by the way, Washington destroyed Dallas in both meetings last year. 692 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: I just need to put that out there. The Thanksgiving 693 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: one was a massive beat down. Of course, I had 694 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: bet on Dallas in that game like a jackass. The 695 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: other one was the game where Andy Dalton got knocked 696 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: into next year and none of his teammates went to 697 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: pick him up. I don't know if you remember. It 698 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: was like twenty five three. Washington destroyed them. But the 699 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys have to win the division next year. They absolutely 700 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: have to anything less than a division in the playoffs, 701 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott is a colossal bust. And I don't 702 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: care what receivers are there, what running backs go down. 703 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: Dak's gotta deliver. He absolutely must. You get forty mill. 704 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: I need to see results. I saw them as rookie year. 705 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: I haven't seen much since last four seasons. They missed 706 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs three times. Dak's gotta deliver, and I just 707 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: don't know if he's capable. So there it is, Dak 708 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: Prescott and the Cowboys together for a few more years, 709 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get back to some NBA college basketball tomorrow. 710 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: And we have two great guests coming up the next 711 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: two days.
