1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We spent a lot of time yesterday talking 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: about the Jags, Urban Meyer, Trevor Lawrence, Gardner, Minshew, and 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: Urban made an official He named Trevor Lawrence as he's starter. 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: The Broncos are gonna go with Teddy Bridgewater. The Bears 6 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: are going to start Andy Dalton. The Saints haven't officially 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: made a decision yet, but that should be forthcoming. And 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: then there's Mac Jones in New England. I guess you 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: can throw in Trey Lance. But listen to Jimmy Garoppolo 10 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: being asked about basically who's starting at quarterback for the 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, Kyl said he had a pretty good idea. 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: We dude, to start a quarterback for a week one? 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: Do you have a pretty good idea? Oh? Yeah, I 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: have a pretty good idea. He was smiling about it. 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: One must mean supping, right, that's whatever he decides. Yeah, 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: I have a pretty good idea. I'm pretty happy with 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: where I'm at right now and everything and just the 18 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: offense as a whole. Yeah, Kyle's the head man who 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: at a call. Yeah, the call has already been made. 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: It's Jimmy Garoppolo. If he was crying when he was 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: there asking when he was asked the question, then we'd 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: go he's probably gonna be Trey Lance. But big smile 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: on his face and he realizes he is the future now, 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: but he's not going to be the future after this season. 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: They traded a lot to get Trey Lance. It's not 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 1: like you go, you know, on second thought, we're gonna 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: keep Jimmy g Jimmy Garoppolo is a good quarterback for 28 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers. Is he a great quarterback in 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: today's NFL? No, he's not. I know he wins games. Well, 30 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: he's quarterbacking the Patriots and he's quarterbacking the forty nine Ers. 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: Those are really good teams. I don't know if we 32 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: put him on Jacksonville or the Texans, we would go, Yeah, 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: he just wins games. Jimmy Garoppolo learned at the feet 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. He's not gonna beat you with anything 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: that's amazing, but it's more of a steady drip. That's 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: the water torture that he would provide Trey Lance. That's 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: the guillotine where he can all of a sudden go 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it deep or I can beat you 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: with my legs. We have wishful reporting. I talk about 40 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: this a lot in this business. It's we want to 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: push something so we have something to talk about. Andy 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: Dalton was going to start in week one Trevor Lawrence 43 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew. I thought urban Meyer would maybe go 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: with Gardner Minshew, just based on that offensive line with 45 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, the offensive philosophy that you have in Jacksonville, 46 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: and you bring in Trevor Lawrence with a whole lot 47 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: of expectation there. I said to you that Teddy Bridgewater 48 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: was going to get the start, told you that two 49 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: weeks ago Drew Locke. Drew Locke can give it and 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: take it the way. He's got a lot of potential, 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: he's got a big arm. But Teddy Bridgewater is going 52 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: to give you something steady. That's all. It's just a 53 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: safer pick for the Broncos. And I do think the 54 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Bronchos have a lot of talent the wide receiving corps, 55 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: which you might not take advantage of with Teddy's arm 56 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: as opposed to Drew Locke. But this is about let's 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: just stay in games. Let's not lose games. Here, Mac 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: Jones in New England is the interesting one. Our good buddy, 59 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Tom Curran, writing today he's NBC Sports Boston. He says 60 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: that basically mac Jones should be the starter for the 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: New England Patriots when quote, doing what's best for the 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: football team is the stated objective of every decision. You 63 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: can contort yourself, so any choice is defensible in the 64 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: long term or short term. If the standard to be 65 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: satisfied was the best players play, we wouldn't have this 66 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: discussion anymore. He finishes his column, Tom Curran saying on Wednesday, 67 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: Mac Jones all but rested his case. The time remaining 68 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: for Cam Newton's closing argument has been frittered away. Further 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: questions question mark none Here We'll talk to Chris Simms 70 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: about that, as mac Jones done enough and with Cam 71 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: Newton not being able to practice for five days, mac 72 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: Jones getting all the reps with the starters, and at 73 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: least according to Tom Kern, he's seen enough. Mac Jones 74 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: is your starter, yes, Pauline. How much do you factor 75 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: in your chance to compete for the Super Bowl with 76 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: your starting quarterback like the Patriots? Even a percentage chance 77 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl contender. Sure, yeah, Okay, they got 78 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: don't have a good defense, it's a very good offensive line. 79 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: They have a lot of running backs. I don't know 80 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: about their skill position guys. They did go out in 81 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: the offseason and pick up a couple of tight ends, 82 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: but this to me feels like a Belichick offense. And 83 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: I do think they can win with Cam Newton. It's 84 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: just can he stay healthy? And do you know what 85 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: you're getting week to week? With Mac Jones? You know 86 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: exactly what you're getting absolutely, and it's he's not one 87 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: of those well he's not very athletic like he's. It 88 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: always feels like when you talk about Mac Jones, he's 89 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: not very boom fill in the blank, but he is. 90 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: He's a lot of things that you want in a 91 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: quarterback by all accounts. Very decisive, takes command, good arm, 92 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: has athleticism. But you feel like whenever you hear his name, yeah, 93 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: but he's not very what he is Tom Brady, I mean, 94 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: that's that's what you drafted. You're not getting somebody who 95 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: is going to overwhelm you athletically. Cam has that athleticism, 96 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: not what he had when he won the MVP, and 97 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: can you win with him, yes, but Cam out with 98 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: you know, COVID protocol. You know, maybe he did cost 99 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: himself the chance to start this year. Plus understand this, 100 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: if you're a Patriots fan, you're the only team that 101 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: reached out to Cam Newton when nobody else wanted him. 102 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: You brought him in. And I thought that he did okay, 103 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: he certainly ran well, but you know, having shoulder surgery, 104 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: it's tricky. You don't have good wide receivers first year 105 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: in the offense with Belichick, Patriot fans are looking at 106 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: Mac Jones saying, that's our guy, Like, Cam's not your guy. 107 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: Cam was the guy to help you before you got 108 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: to the guy that you think is your future. That's 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: what's going on in New England right now, and is 110 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: Mac Jones the starter. I'd be surprised if Belichick goes 111 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: with a rookie to start, But if he's seen enough 112 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: then he said all along, it's Cam Newton. And that's 113 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: what I was curious about. When Tom Kerrn is watching 114 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: practice and Mac Jones is carving everybody up that you go, 115 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: that's my guy. I'm going to start him now? Like 116 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: is that what it's going to come down to? Was 117 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: it just one of those moments where Belichick goes, I 118 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: can't I can't go with Cam. I gotta go with 119 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: the kid. And maybe that is, but it was wishful reporting. 120 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: With the other quarterback situations, Justin Fields is going to 121 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: eventually start, Trey Lance will eventually start, Trevor Lawrence is 122 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: starting now, Zach Wilson is starting now. There's nothing that's changed. 123 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: New England could be changing right now. That's the news. 124 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: The other stuff that was just window dressing. That was 125 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: just let's have some talking points here. We got some 126 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: time to fill what's going on in New England. I 127 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: think it's real, but I'd still be surprised if Belichick 128 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: goes with Mac Jones. I have no intel. I have 129 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: no sources with New England. I don't know anything. I'm 130 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: not hearing sources close to No, I don't have any 131 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: of that. I tell you when I have a source, 132 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: and I tell you when I don't have a source. 133 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't have anything in New England. But I do 134 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: trust Tom Curran. But I do think Tom Curran has 135 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: not exactly been a Cam Newton cheerleader, and I think 136 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: he's probably going Mac is our guy. Yes, McLevin. I've 137 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: heard the comparison when Balichick chose Tom Brady over drew 138 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Bledsoe Brady early in his career, slow and steady, not spectacular, Bledsoe, big, 139 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: strong armed. But that analogy doesn't quite work, does it 140 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: not in this situation. I mean Bledsoe got injured, Yeah, 141 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: but then he could have gone back to him. He 142 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: went back to him in the title game. Yeah, and 143 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: he chose Brady, who wasn't Brady. Wasn't Brady early right? 144 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: He was more. Go back to that Super Bowl when 145 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: you know, the great John Madden is saying, hey, basically, 146 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: with Brady inexperienced, they're going to be playing for overtime 147 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: in that game against the Rams, and Brady in a 148 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: two minute drill is throwing passes and you could almost 149 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: hear John Madden going I'm shocked, I'm surprised, And then 150 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: Vinetarry kicks the field goal to win a Super Bowl. 151 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: In that moment, it was like, hey, just don't screw 152 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: things up, or at least that's what we thought of 153 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady. I remember after that Super Bowl I 154 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: didn't see enough greatness in Brady where I went, is 155 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: he really their future? Like is he going to be great? 156 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: And I remember asking analysts who joined us that Monday 157 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl because I didn't see it, and 158 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it crystallized and you had 159 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: analysts saying, oh, no, no, no, he's going to be great. Well, 160 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: you gave Drew Bledsoew one hundred million dollars. I don't 161 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: know when you saw it with Brady, but you probably 162 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: didn't see it sooner. Where you're offering Bled If Bledsoew 163 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: doesn't get injured, what happens in this situation? I gets 164 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: It's crazy. How if Trent Green doesn't get hurt, the 165 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner's story may never happen. Right. If Peyton Manning 166 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: doesn't injure his neck, then where does Andrew luck Goo? 167 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: Is he still playing? Now? Does Peyton get another? They're 168 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl? Like? It's crazy how this stuff happens. Yes? 169 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: Do you think Drew Bledsoe and Trent Green could have 170 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: gone on to win Super Bowls with those teams around them? Probably? So? 171 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Drew Bledsoe was a really good 172 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: quarterback and and Trent Green was good enough to be 173 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: starting over Kurt Warner. Trent Green was a very capable. 174 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like a compliment, but Trent Green could lead 175 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: your team to the super Bowl, and he did have 176 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: a moment where he was very impressive. Yes, I went 177 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: back to two thousand and one after Bledsoe got hurt 178 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: in Game two and Brady took over. His first two games. 179 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Brady his first three games, he had no touchdown passes. 180 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: He didn't play poorly, he just didn't score. He had 181 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: no interceptions. His fourth game as a starter was against Indianapolis. Indianapolis, 182 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: he beat Peyton Manning thirty eight seventeen with three touchdowns, 183 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: no picks, and outdueled Manning. And you could see the 184 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: articles nationally and locally, maybe the Patriots have found something. 185 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: But the first four weeks it was like mixed reviews. 186 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: Yeah soon, and that trend would continue itself over the 187 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: next twenty years, which was just wonderful to watch. Never stop. 188 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: There are so many analysts who cover the NFL, and 189 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: there are so many of us that don't know anything. 190 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: Remember when Lamar Jackson was coming out, right, there was 191 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: a curiosity and that you would hear accuracy issues. Okay, 192 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: we didn't focus on what he did well, we focused 193 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: on what he didn't do well, and it drives me crazy, 194 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: especially with basketball players. Steph Curry, Yeah slight. He can't 195 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: play point okay, can he shoot? Yeah, he can shoot. 196 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Steve Nash, that guy he can't start. Oh, they're gonna domit. 197 00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: He can't guard anybody? Can he pass? Patrick Mahomes I 198 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: look at the look at the profile here, didn't win 199 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: a lot of games. You know. Yeah, he takes chances. Project. 200 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: You would hear he's a project. Okay. That's why when 201 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: it comes to this, we don't know mac Jones man, 202 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: he only played one year system quarterback here. That guy 203 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: not athletic, didn't have a big arm like we okay, 204 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: like we talk ourselves into things and out of things here. Yes, 205 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: I just remember a dad Bob mac Jones. That was 206 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: that was the headline. Yeah, Like Zack Wilson threw a 207 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: role left throwback right fifty yard or in you know, 208 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: his pro day and we went, oh my god, he's 209 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: the next Patrick Mahomes Is he? I don't know, Yeah, Polly, 210 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: I just went back to Brady's first playoffs. You were 211 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: talking about how you weren't sure after the first playoffs, 212 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: which they want a super Bowl, by the way, his 213 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: first three playoff games, he had one touchdown passing three games, 214 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: he had one pick. His stats were, you know, not 215 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: that great, They're average. That's why you know when somebody 216 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: gives you that stamp of approval, Okay, when do you 217 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: give that? And I go back to Josh Allen, he's 218 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: never won. I give you go back to high school. 219 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: He got very very few scholarship offers. He went to 220 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: a junior college. He wasn't great. He went to Wyoming. 221 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't even know if he was first team All 222 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: conference when he was at Wyoming Mountain West. I think 223 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: he was second team All Mountain West. And that's why 224 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: I had been told the Browns were interested in Josh Allen. 225 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: But that was his smoke screen. They were drafting Baker Mayfield, 226 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: which they did. Buffalo gets Josh Allen. And I remember 227 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: watching Josh Allen his rookie year and I said, he 228 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to play the position right now, and 229 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: he didn't and even the next year, last year, I 230 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: thought he should have been MVP. Like if you look 231 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: at value to your team, Aaron Rodgers was unbelievable. Josh 232 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: Allen was a difference maker for a team that another 233 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: quarterback in there would not have led them as far 234 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: as he did, just in my opinion. That's why when 235 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: it comes to Josh Allen, you got a big arm here, Okay, 236 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: they all have big arms. It's hard to play the 237 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: position if you go you know, he's got a small arm. 238 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: That dude, he's got a noodle for an arm. Like 239 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: most of these guys, good size, some athleticism, got a 240 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: great arm, Okay, And that's why when it comes to 241 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: trying to handicap this, it's really difficult. Trey Lance has 242 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: played one football game in twenty months. I don't know 243 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: if he can play the position. Do I like the kid? 244 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: Does he have a lot of talent? Yes, Easton Stick 245 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: had a lot of talent at North Dakota State. That's 246 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: why when it comes to trying to handicap this, good luck. 247 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: That's why you have so many bust at that position 248 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL, because it's hard to quantify what is 249 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: going to make you great. Everybody passed on Tom Brady 250 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: a couple of times. People passed on Russell Wilson a 251 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: couple of times. It's a great unknown. It's what's fascinating 252 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: about that position. Be sure to catch the live edition 253 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern 254 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio in the iHeart 255 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: Radio a app. Well, let me start there with Chris Simms. Chris, 256 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: whose career would you rather have, Ryan Fitzpatrick's or Jay Cutler. Well, man, 257 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: that's a tough one. I mean, you know, I guess 258 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: I come and let me just go through this with 259 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: my thought a little bit. You know, Cutler had certainly 260 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: more high end talent and did bring a team to 261 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: an NFC championship game, There's no doubt about that. But 262 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: I guess I'd also look at it and go, Damn, 263 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm better than what my career ended up really being. 264 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: I should have had more success. So I think, you know, 265 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go 266 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick. I am, I'm gonna It's a close 267 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: one there, but I'll go with Fitzpatrick. You know, I 268 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: just give him a lot of credit for the fact 269 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: that he's hung around, you know, and really beat the doubters, 270 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: and he's had some good moments and played some of 271 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: his best football here at the end of his career. 272 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: I would say Ryan Fitzpatrick because he's an underdog, whereas right, 273 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Cutler we look at and we go and I remember 274 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: you loved Cutler coming out of college, like right, and 275 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: you liked him more than any of those quarterbacks, I believe, right, Yeah, 276 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: remember that. That was one of my first proclamations. I think. 277 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: What was that when I was like a weekly guest 278 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: and I was down there in Tampa, right, and you 279 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: were like, so who do you take Matt Leinard or 280 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: Vince Young? And I was like, neither, you take Jay Cutler? Right? 281 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: So I do. I remember that very clearly, and I 282 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: took some heat from some of my Texas friends that 283 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: day when I said that Cutler feels like an underachiever 284 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: where Ryan Fitzpatrick feels like an overachiever. Agreed, Agreed, I'm 285 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: with you there all the way? All right? Has mac 286 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: Jones earned the starting job in New England? Tom Curran 287 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: was gushing about this that Cam's been out, Mac Jones 288 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: has been in and has looked very impressive. Knowing Bill 289 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: Belichick having spent some time there, could you imagine Belichick 290 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: going with a rookie quarterback to start week one? I mean, 291 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: I think before training camp I would have aired a 292 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: no to that, But like, I think Mac Jones has 293 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: impressed so much and been so good through training camp, 294 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: everything he does on and off the field that I do, 295 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: and the fact that they kind of praise them, you know, 296 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: praise him as well. I don't think they're scared. I don't. 297 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: I think in the perfect world they'd probably rather go 298 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: with Cam Newton. But I mean, I still can't believe 299 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: what Cam Newton did. I don't know other way to 300 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: say it. I'm shocked. I mean, his career is hanging 301 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: in the balance, and to make a mistake like that 302 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: and do that, it's just unforgivable. And as you know, 303 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: and anybody knows, it's the Patriots, they're like psycho detailed. 304 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: Then now you got a guy where he's not vaccinated 305 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: and you're not sure if you can trust them. And 306 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: then he got this other guy who's like a robot 307 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: and kind of like Tom Brady ish, and he continues 308 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: just to get better and better and been very impressive 309 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: in the preseason. So yeah, I think there's a chance. 310 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: And if he balls out this weekend, Dan and I 311 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: don't know if Cam will play or not this weekend now, 312 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: but if Mac goes out there and plays phenomenal. I 313 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: would not be shocked if they just pulled the trigger 314 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: and started the Mac Jones era. I know that. To 315 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: your co host, Mike Florio brought this up about the 316 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: Jags that maybe they were waiting to name the starting 317 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: quarterback because maybe everbend Meyer wanted to go with Gardner Minshew, 318 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: because maybe he didn't like what he saw with that 319 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: offensive line for Trevor Lawrence. He has since named Trevor Lawrence. 320 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 1: I follow Florio's philosophy here. I don't want to put 321 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence out there and have him become another Andrew Luck. 322 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that there is that I'm 323 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: going to protect him. He might not make good decisions. 324 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: I want him protected at all cost. And that's what 325 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: would be my big concern. Yeah, your thoughts on Trevor 326 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: Lawrence getting to start. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm with you there. 327 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: I mean that that is a concern. It's something that 328 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: we talked about a lot on Monday. You know. I 329 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: brought out up with Florio and I was like, listen, 330 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a real competition here, Like Trevor 331 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: is way better than Gardner Minshew. I mean, maybe doesn't 332 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 1: have quite the experience yet in those things, but the 333 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: talent is that's not comparable. But you know so I 334 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: thought like maybe that's and he listened to the Monday 335 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: Night crew, right they were kind of saying some things 336 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: like that, and I thought, oh, okay, so this is 337 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: more about getting the team in the right place. It 338 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: really has nothing to do with a true competition, I 339 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: think really ultimately, Urban Meyer, Hey, I know he's adjusting 340 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: to life in the NFL and all those things, but 341 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: damn he's still really smart understands football, and I think 342 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: he'll play a certain way to protect Trevor Lawrence. You know, 343 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: I said today on the show today the phrase I used, 344 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: you said, Andrew Luck. I said, don't Joe Burrow Trevor Lawrence, 345 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't have him drop back forty five 346 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: times a game at all. We gotta win, even though 347 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: we know we're not gonna be in the playoffs. We 348 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: gotta go for five and eleven, Like, who the hell 349 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: cares if you're five and eleven or three and thirteen, right, 350 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: like save the franchise. And they didn't do that in Cincinnati. 351 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: And you know I heard the other night too, urban 352 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: Meyer talked to Joe Burrow in the off season, so 353 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: that's in his mind, and I think he'll do the 354 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: right thing here and realize the big picture and not 355 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: fall into the trap of, oh, we're losing. I just 356 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: gotta let Trevor loose and let him try to carry 357 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: the team. I don't think. I think he's too smart 358 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: to see the big picture. There has John Elway whipped 359 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: on another quarterback. I don't know if he's whipped. I'm 360 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: not gonna say that yet. About Drew Locke, there's some 361 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: things I like. He played better towards the end of 362 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: last year. I think, you know, when you take a 363 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: few things into account here, Vic fangio he's a defensive 364 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: head coach. They usually aeron let's go with the safer quarterback. 365 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: Let's go with the quarterback that's not gonna mess it 366 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: up for my defense. George Peyton the GM, he came 367 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: from Minnesota, he was there when they drafted Teddy. And 368 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: I think, ultimately, you know, Drew Locke, I think scarred 369 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: Vic fangioe a little bit last year with some of 370 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: the bad decisions, reckless throws things like that, to where 371 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: Teddy is the safe bet. You know, I don't know 372 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: if Teddy can maximize the talent of the offense quite 373 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: the way Drew Locke ken, but I think, you know, 374 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: I understand his logic here with going with the proven 375 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: veteran who knows how to protect the football and is 376 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: not going to mess things up early on in the 377 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: year and kind of get them behind the eight ball. 378 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: If that doesn't go well, then you bring the flamethrower, 379 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: you know, off the bench and go, Okay, we need you, 380 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: We need you to make some plays and do those 381 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: type of things. And Locke has looked very good in 382 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: the preseason. It feels like every year we get mixed 383 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: opinions on preseason, like don't read too much into preseason, 384 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: and then we ultimately read too much into preseason. How 385 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: important is like a preseason game to a regular season game. 386 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: How different is it at the quarterbacking position. Sure, it's 387 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: a lot different. I think the biggest thing it's just 388 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: more there. It's just it's elementary for I think some 389 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: of the start, you know, you're not going to unveil 390 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: some of your best plays. There's really no game planning like, hey, 391 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: this team does this, so we're gonna attack them like that. 392 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: You're kind of just like, hey, we got to go 393 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: out here and work on what we gotta work on 394 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: and do that, and you don't want to show too 395 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: much for their you know, and have team to be 396 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: ready in the regular season. The defenses of the same way. 397 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, you don't get to see a lot of 398 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: exotic variety type defenses in the preseason and then it 399 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: slowly starts to progress where you're gonna see a little 400 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 1: bit more of that this weekend. So yeah, you're right, 401 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: you don't read too much into it, but there's certainly 402 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: some things that you can take from preseason to go, oh, 403 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: that team, Like let's say the Miami Dolphins, Right, I'll 404 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: just use them as an example. What are they two 405 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: and oh in the preseason. I don't really care what 406 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: their record is. I just look at them and go, man, 407 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: the way that team looks like it. They got depth 408 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: on the front line, they got depth in the front seven, 409 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: they got speed at the right positions. Two was improved. 410 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: So that gives me the inkling at least to say like, hey, 411 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they're going to the playoffs, but 412 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: they're going to be right in the thick of things, 413 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: and you know, are going in the right direction. He's 414 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: Chris Simms, Pro Football Talk co host. Former NFL quarterback 415 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford says, Hey, I want to play in big games, 416 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be playing at one o'clock 417 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: on a Sunday. Well, how much of that is on 418 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford? That like, he didn't win a playoff game. 419 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: We look at the quarterback, and you know, you're supposed 420 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: to elevate your team. I know he didn't elevate his team. Well, 421 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: let's see, I'll disagree a little bit there. I mean 422 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: the fact that they were even in the playoffs at 423 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: some of those years, they were only there because of 424 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. You know. And again I think we've talked 425 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: about this before. Let's not forget horrible call in the 426 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: Dallas playoff game right with the pass interference late or 427 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: whatever the damn penalty is that they called. There can't 428 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: remember these specifics. They were kind of in the league. 429 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: That was a controversial call. You know. The other year 430 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: they went to what Seattle in a wildcard game one 431 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: year and playing the playoffs there, receivers dropped the ball. 432 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, go back and watch it. So the team 433 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: has failed him to a degree and a lot of 434 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: these years Dan where I'll always argue to defend where 435 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: they were maybe seven and nine or six and ten. 436 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to go like they would be two and 437 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: fourteen if it wasn't for Matthew Stafford. No thousand yard 438 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: rusher since what two and twelve? You know, no offensive line, 439 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: no namesake defensive guy. You can come up within the 440 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford ever, other than Sue early on in his 441 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: career to go, oh wait, they did have one good 442 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: defensive guy his whole era there. Oh wait, they did 443 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: have Calvin Johnson. Okay, they've had three people in like 444 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: ten years. What would he do? What is he supposed 445 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: to do with that? So I'm a defender of him, 446 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: But I know I'm gonna be watching this year too, 447 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a big year. He's got at 448 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: least some talent in the system around him here that 449 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: he should be able to maybe shut some the haters up. Well, 450 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: I was on the bandwagon probably before anybody's saying if 451 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: you're looking for an MVP candidate, this is this is 452 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: the guy. And but I wonder about that, You know, 453 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: you lose cam Akers is Sony Michelle an upgrade. No, 454 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: absolutely not. He is not, Sony Michelle. I mean I 455 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: listen that that was. It's a risky trade and in 456 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: my opinion to a degree. You know, first off, he's 457 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,239 Speaker 1: a first round pick in New England's trade in him away, right, 458 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: there's something they don't they don't like, right, and you know, anything, 459 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: you know Rams pick up nikkil Harry, then I'm gonna 460 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: worry about that way, Yeah, exactly right. But they're desperate, 461 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, because you know, like you're saying, you know, 462 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: it's their run game is important to their success. That's 463 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: how that that's really what you know. Their offense is 464 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: based around that, and then the bootlegs and the play 465 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: actions and the speed sweeps all come off of that. 466 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: So they they I think, you know, the one thing 467 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: I always give the Rams credit for it. They push 468 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: the chips in the middle of the pile every year 469 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: and go, we're going for it. We're trying to win 470 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. We don't care. We're not going to 471 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: Eton or Eton nine or with nine and eight or 472 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: anything like that. We are going for it. So but 473 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, I mean, knee issues. Anybody I talked to 474 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: in the NFL thinks it's not going away. There's a 475 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: real issue there. But I would expect them to sign 476 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: another running back or two here when cuts are made, 477 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, to bolster that group all together. If Belichick 478 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: is calling you and he wants to trade you somebody, 479 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: yeah right, you better be like what we need to 480 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: do extra homework than normal, because I will say this, 481 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: Belichick is really good at getting rid of players a 482 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: year early than a year less. He may not be 483 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: great at drafting players, certainly in the first round and 484 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: skill position players. But you know when it's hey, I 485 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: got Richard Seymour, You interested, Uh, Hey, I got Jamie Collins, 486 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: you and I got Lawyer Malloy, You interested like you go? Yeah, 487 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: those are big names. And then all of a sudden, Hey, 488 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: anybody who said in Malcolm Butler? Yes, yeah, thing who 489 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: was the Logan Mankins? Remember that? Yeah? Tom, Tom's mad. 490 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: His offensive lineman got traded to Tampa And all of 491 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, yeah we never heard of right, Yeah, No, 492 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: I know. Bill's got a great feel of getting that. 493 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: You know, Oh, it's coming to the end. Maybe he's 494 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: got one more year, but it's it's about over. And yeah, 495 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 1: he's a step ahead of the game that way, and 496 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: that's some of the toughest things to do as a 497 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: head coach because you know, yeah, it's to say what 498 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: you want. These coaches do like their players. There is 499 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: a personal aspect, but the his ability to cut the 500 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: cord a year early has of course made them really 501 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: really damn good for a long time because of that. So, 502 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: uh yeah, I would be weary of of of Sony Michelle, 503 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: and I'll certainly be watching more likely to disappoint. Yeah, Cowboys, Browns. 504 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Cowboys. I gotta see it to believe it. 505 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: With the Cowboys. First, the Browns last year just kept 506 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: going like this, and then this year they just made 507 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: their roster just keep going like this. And it's year 508 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: two in the same system for Baker Mainfield and you know, 509 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: everything you hear Odell Beckham junior looking really damn good. 510 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean, on paper, the Browns roster is as impressive 511 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: as anybody in football. So I think between that, you know, 512 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: Stefanski and Baker have created a little culture there. They're 513 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: pretty damn good on both sides of the on the 514 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. And Dallas, I just want 515 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: to go one. I'm not sure. Dak is totally himself 516 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: and he hasn't played and now he's gonna go to 517 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: Tampa Week one, and just what carry the team? I 518 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: don't I'm not sold they're gonna be able to run 519 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: the ball. I gotta see Ezekiel Elliott, you know, and 520 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about he's leaner and quicker. I want to go. 521 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't look good that his legs are half the 522 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: size of Dak Prescott and hub A hard knocks. I 523 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't seen running back to really be 524 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: that successful when their legs are half the size of 525 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So I gotta see that. And then, of 526 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: course the defense we know was a disaster last year, 527 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: so I'll pick the Cowboys in that department. Oh gosh, yeah, what, No, 528 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: it's just the it's the Cowboys. I know, they get 529 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: more attention than it feels like all of the other 530 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: teams combined. I agree, but no, but it's just because 531 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: they're America's team in that popular fan base, right, it 532 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: really is for the most part. And Jerry's you know, 533 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: amazing at keeping them in the news and relevant and 534 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: doing things like that. But you're right, Yeah, it's it's 535 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: amazing they do. They get too much attention. They got 536 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: a few stars, but yeah, they gotta they gotta have 537 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: a team, and you know that's where you know, you 538 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: look at it, where the team. I mean, yeah, you 539 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: know there's some good things, but everybody talks about the 540 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: talent Chris because it's the Cowboys. Like man, those linebackers, 541 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: Sean Lee, Layton Vander and I'm going, where are these guys? 542 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: I know, Jalen Smith, I mean, he's a backup. I 543 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: know they paid them all this Money's a backup. He's 544 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: not even gonna start on their team this year. I 545 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: mean Randy Gregory second round pick. Never, he's never done 546 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: crap for them. You know, they've had some interesting moves 547 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: and decisions. They've made Taco Charlton right round pick a 548 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: few years ago. I mean, damn, he might not be 549 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: in the league this year. So they've swung and missed 550 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: there too. That I think really been a detriment to 551 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: the building of their football team. Uh So, yeah, it is, 552 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: They're they're overhyped. It is. It's just Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, 553 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliott and we'll see where it goes. 554 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: From there, When do you make your Super Bowl pick? Um? 555 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: Probably next week on my podcast. I gotta start kind 556 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: of formulating, you know, playoff teams and doing that. How 557 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: about who are you not picking? Who am I not picking? 558 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: Like you mean that of like true playoff? I mean first, 559 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm not picking Chicago to go to the playoffs or 560 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: anything year in Chicago? Yeah? Right that dude? Yeah, I 561 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: like that music. That's great. Um, you know, I mean 562 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm not picking. That's a Seattle 563 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about. I gotta see Seattle a little bit, 564 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, a little offseason drama, you know, new offense, 565 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: offensive line. Hey, we'll see where that goes. The other 566 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: thing I'll just say too, is you know, let's the 567 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: defense got better last year, but underwhelming secondary other than 568 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: Quandre Diggs, nobody up front that you're worried about, right, 569 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: Geron Read's gone. It's a lot of like young guys 570 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: where you're going, Oh, they got potential, but is it 571 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: gonna come through? So they'd be a team that I 572 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: look at. Yeah, I almost a borderline like some I 573 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: have some thoughts to go. Man, Seattle I think is 574 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: on the playoff bubble in that in that division, I 575 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: think the Booty nine Ers the Rams will be good. 576 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked to see them kind of fighting 577 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: for their life this year. Better team Chargers Rams, who 578 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: has more wins? The thing that scares me so much 579 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: about the Rams is they're just so thin. It is 580 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: a twenty two man team, and like two injuries, they 581 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: could totally be derailed there. M Man, who am I 582 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: gonna pay? I'm still gonna go with the Rams. I'm 583 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: gonna go with the proven commodity here in McVeigh and 584 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris being the defensive core naer with Matthew Stafford 585 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: as that Chargers team, I mean, listen, they're a team 586 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: that I'm certainly thinking about putting in the playoffs. But 587 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: it is a new offensive coordinator. I still don't know 588 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: why they really let Shane Steiken go out the door 589 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: with the success they had, but justin Herbert and him 590 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: last year. But Joe Lombardi, of course, we know he's 591 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: pretty damn good under Sean Payton. So I just I 592 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: guess that there's some things there I want to see. 593 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: Can Derwin James stay healthy? Can Joey Bosa stay healthy? 594 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: So that's why I'll Aaron the Rams would certainly wouldn't 595 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: be shocked at the Chargers were in the playoffs. Too 596 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: great to talk to you, Chris.

How do you 650 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: come up with the idea that you're going to do 651 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: a movie about a basketball scout for the Sixers, down 652 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: on his luck, finds this great player and is going 653 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: to bring him back to the NBA to somehow reclaim 654 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: his career life.

I didn't see the 765 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: whole game. I was shooting and then I went into 766 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: my trailer and it was on and I saw them 767 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: coming back and they they played. I mean, Ohio was great, 768 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: but New Hampshire Manchester hook said we were making a 769 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: run and it was a tight game, and that kid 770 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: in right field on Ohio made a great catch. But 771 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: it was they were rolling all of a sudden. But 772 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't couldn't be happy for those guys. That's a dream. 773 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 1: When we were kids, we were like, man, we gotta 774 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: get to Williamsport. That was every kid's dream in little league. 775 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: And the fact that they did it, and they did 776 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: all those teams to get there. Was very proud of them. Okay, 777 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: but this is your little league team.

And then we 783 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: played pretty well in our tournament. We I think we 784 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: got pretty far into the state championship and then we lost. 785 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly, we played about 786 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 1: eight and like we went on a run. But not 787 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,400 Speaker 1: like these guys. These guys were insane. How good they played? 788 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 1: What position did you play?

The 823 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 1: signs were all over the fence, and I remember hearing boom, 824 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, I had to fence. God, damn well, 825 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: I think I got a double. I was not even 826 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: a thought of a triple. But if I would have 827 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: said back then, hey, you can be a professional baseball player, 828 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: or you can grow up and be a comedian baseball player, 829 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: I would have wanted that. Now. The truth is, Danny, 830 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: I was laying in bed one day. I was like 831 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: a Saturday afternoon, and I said to my dad, I 832 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 1: might have told you this. I said to my dad. 833 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: He goes, what do you want to do one year older? 834 00:45:54,200 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: I said, however, be a pro baseball player. He goes, nah, nah, good, no, no, no, 835 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: I am Kyle mcdonnaugh, Kyle mcdonnah. He could be a 836 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: pro baseball player. He goes, you're slow, and I go, yeah, 837 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: I know I'm slow, but that's all. He goes, No, 838 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 1: you're real. Don't you never seen yourself run? Do you 839 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 1: filmed me? He filled me with one of those super 840 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 1: eight cameras and he goes, look at your run. Not 841 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: that you can't be a pro. That sounds like a movie. 842 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: That's pretty true, man. He was just he was just 843 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: looking at me, like, quit lying, Let's get you something. 844 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: And then I remember when I told my dad I 845 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: want to be a comedian. He was all back, Dad 846 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,520 Speaker 1: out one hundred percent. But he said, but you gotta 847 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: give yourself a time limit, and so if you you 848 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 1: don't make it by the time you're twenty three, you 849 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,280 Speaker 1: come for it. For me, I said, yeah, yeah, okay, 850 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 1: and then I started doing okay. I'm very young, and 851 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: he was like, and I said, do I have to 852 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: work here? Yeah? He just no, no, no, You're make 853 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: it enough. Let's keep going with that. But that was 854 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: that was a fallback play. That's going to be an 855 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 1: electrician for my dad. You and then Danny, were you 856 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: good at little League?
