You know you talk about droughts, sports droughts. Canadians. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.600 Last time they went to the Stanley Cup Final one 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.120 it was nineteen ninety three. They beat Gretzky and the 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.760 La Kings. Barry Melrose, I believe, was the coach of 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.720 the La Kings at the time, And you think about 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.240 the proud tradition of the Montreal Canadians and you're going, oh, 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.399 that's right. In nineteen ninety three, and then you start 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.080 to think, you know, at my age, I go, nineteen 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.800 ninety three wasn't that long ago? And then you realize, yes, 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.760 it was. It was a whole generation ago. It was 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.559 twenty eight years ago. We talked about the Phoenix Suns. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.120 Oh yeah, I remember when they were in the NBA 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.920 Finals against the Bulls. That was back in nineteen ninety three. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.760 That's a long time ago. And you start to think 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.479 of a sports drought, all right, the Canadians nineteen ninety three. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.040 I mean, the Cleveland Indians. That's a sports drought. Detroit Lions, 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:42.559 that's a sports drought. The Clippers, that's a sports drought. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:50.040 The Atlanta Hawks, that's a sports drought. Milwaukee Bucks back 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.640 in the early seventies. That's when they had Kareem and 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.560 they had Oscar Robertson. But that's it. So you had 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.080 these sports droughts that are still alive here. And Montreal 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.360 is going to the Stanley Cup Final. The Indians are 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:10.840 over seven decades. That's a drought. That's like, what's worse 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.920 than a drought? Mclovin, like a super drought. I don't know, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.440 I don't want to find out. Oh my god, Todd 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:22.240 what's worse than a drought? Famine? Drought was far with 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.840 My answer is that I thought you're searching for an 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.720 actual vocabulary word. Well, no, a super drought. I don't 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.480 know the Weather Channel though, that's probably a thing now. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.640 By the way, the Indians almost beat the Cubs, which 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.400 would have been that. That's the og drought. The Indians 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:42.360 almost beat the Marlins as well, but they didn't. The 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.840 Eagles had a drought for a lot this video. Philadelphia 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.040 had a huge drought. Yeah, yeah, you got yours. You're good. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.040 It's like the Bears got theres. You're good. It really 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.720 is like that. Yeah, the Cubs got theres, Like we're good. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.040 Nothing to see here, Let's move on. Red Sox of 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.120 course got theres. Yes. Point, if you're a fan of 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.240 a certain team and because sign a contract, you get 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.079 one for the rest of your life. Like if I'm 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.840 a Cleveland Indians fan and I'm forty, I could sign 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.960 a contract for next year and says you're gonna win 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.400 the World Series and you get to see it and 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:11.679 go and all that stuff, and you're guaranteed to never 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.000 win one in your lifetime. Yeah, I take that. I 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.200 would have done it as a cub fan if you 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.720 ask me in twenty ten, yeah, yeah, I could see that. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.440 I mean, if you said that to a Hawks fan, 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.720 you're gonna win the title and you'll never win another 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:27.280 one in your lifetime. And ask you to try. Lions fan, Sure, 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.720 if we get one, you can take ten years off 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.240 my life. Go ahead, because the Lions have taken ten 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.880 years off my life. Your Fast Family is back, Fast 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.680 and Furious F nine is now playing in theaters. Scan 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.600 the code on your screen to buy tickets now. Isn't 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.040 there something you do on your computer with F nine? 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.440 Is there? Am I like a like the keyboard. Is 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.360 there's something that happens with F nine? Or am I 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:57.640 just totally making something up here? I thought that signified 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:02.880 something on your computer. Yeah? Yeah, the F nine updates 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.480 fields on your computer. Whatever that means. I don't know 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.080 if that's what I was. I meant, yes, dud. The 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.960 key is most often used to open mission control on 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.480 an Apple computer. Okay, yeah, I thought there was something 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.760 with F nine, But uh, Fast and Furious. The Fast 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.960 Family his back. It's a Friday, you know. I'm sorry 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.400 that Friday New Pole, which is the best Fast and 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.840 Furious I have all nine listed here. Is there one 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.200 that's better than the other? They all sort of seem 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.880 the same. Yeah, one is probably get some credit for 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.839 being one. Oh, I loved I loved one that you know, 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.240 aside from Tokyo Drift. All the other ones we were 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:50.080 pretty good. And I loved Paul Walker, Vin diesel Um. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:55.160 Who's my U? Minka Kelly? She in there? Jordana Brewster, Oh, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.400 that's great. She should have got Minka Kelly would be 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.479 a great amission. Jordana Brewster. That's okay if that's my 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:07.279 consolation project, Yeah, not at all. Kevin Durant's social media 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.240 feed takes some time getting used to. We want our 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.960 star athletes to be honest. I hope that they always are. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.080 Makes my job easier. Sometimes Kade can be too honest, 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.080 and I'm not talking about missteps with burner accounts. Seems 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.200 to have put that behind him, but if somebody calls 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.560 him out, he likes to come back even harder. And 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:32.239 the latest interaction was with Scottie Pippen. Scotty said Lebron 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.200 would have found a way to lead his team to 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.719 a series win where Durant fell short against Milwaukee. According 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.400 to Pippen, Durant's problem was that he tried to do 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.240 it all on his own. Katie was not having anything 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.800 to do with that. He brought up that Scottie wouldn't 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.680 come into a playoff game because Phil Jackson designed a 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.600 play for Tony ku coach to take the last shot. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.240 Scotty took himself out of the game. We expect our 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.600 stars to take the higher road sometimes in social media, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.200 but if you've ever been on a basketball court, that's 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.960 social media, Like you're talking trash during the game, and 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.039 it's not like you have a helmet on you. You're 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.360 right next to one another. You can say a lot 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:20.520 of things. So social media seems to be a little 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:24.800 bit better when they actually act like real people in 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.720 real life. And I don't want to make Kadi mad either. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.320 It seems to be pretty good. Now. I don't know 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.200 if Kevin should have responded to Scottie Pippen because Scotty 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.520 was talking about in this GQ article and the author 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.479 is Tyler Times, so he's interviewing Scotty and Scotty's promoting 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.360 a bourbon and by the way, I hope that bourbon 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.279 does well because Scotty didn't do well. But he's promoting 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.640 a new Bourbon line. And he started talking about the 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.360 difference between Lebron and KD, and he said, when you're 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.480 leading the troops, you got to know how to lead 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.680 and win. Katie is great. As his offense was, it 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.200 turned out to be his worst enemy because he didn't 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.120 know how to play team basketball. He kept trying to 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:12.720 go punch for punch. Have you ever seen Lebron take 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.480 a shot like that? He ain't gonna take that shot. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.120 He's gonna be smarter, He's gonna force a double. That's 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.760 what Katie wasn't able to do. Katie can score better 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:26.800 than Lebron, but has he surpassed Lebron? Nah, he tried 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.200 to beat Milwaukee instead of utilizing his team. You see 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.800 what I'm saying. Lebron would have figured out how to 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.240 beat them and wouldn't have been exhausted, and he may 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.520 not have taken that last shot. Lebron ain't KD. KD 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:48.160 ain't Lebron. Okay, I guess, I guess it's a fair criticism. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.400 It's just out of nowhere that Lebron is saying that. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:56.320 Scottis saying this. Well. Kevin Durant responded on Twitter and said, 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.760 didn't the great didn't the Great Scottie hip and refused 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.120 to go into the game for the last second shot 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.560 because he was in his feelings. His coach drew up 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.360 the play for a better shooter question mark. He then 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.640 follows up this guy. Scott also wanted to enjoy his summer, 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.680 so he chose to rehab during the season. L L YO. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:23.240 They followed Phil not you is there? Do they do 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.200 a chalk outline of a body on social media? Because 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:33.920 that's what they should do. Yeah, Scotty, rest in peace there. Okay, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:38.320 Kevin Durant is different than Lebron. Lebron we know has 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.960 been a facilitator. He's gonna end up probably top five 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.520 and assist and the all time leading scorer in the 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:48.240 history of the game. But Scotty made it personal about 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:53.800 k D. If you went, if you criticize the team 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.199 or said, you know what, our team would have shut 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.240 those guys down. Whatever it is. And remember Scotty this 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.600 with the Golden State lawyers. I believe this is a 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.720 couple of years ago. He said, oh, our Bulls team 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.800 would have swept them. Okay, it made news because he 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:13.160 said it on our air, But okay, I mean Kevin Durant, 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.199 what he did was herculean. If you look, first of all, 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.640 the last play in that game against the Box is 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.160 poorly designed because Katie is all alone and his teammates 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.320 are nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be found. I 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.880 got the feeling, you know, Joe Harris didn't play well, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.520 James Harden didn't play well. I can facilitate. I didn't 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.840 think about this. I can throw it to somebody ten 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.440 times and if they can't make it the previous nine, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.320 do I keep throwing them the ball because I'm going 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:50.199 to be a facilitator. Kyrie out hardened coming back from 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:56.720 the hamstring and wasn't playing well. I don't look at 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:01.800 Kevin Durant as a gunner. There are I can tick 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.800 off probably fifteen guys that I would think are more 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:10.760 volume shooters than Kevin Durant. But if I look at 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.560 the situation here, Kevin Durant had to do all of 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:18.080 this stuff. Do I think Lebron's a better player? Yes, 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.760 what I want Lebron on my team over Kevin Durant. Yes, 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.960 But it's not that I dislike Kevin Durant. I think 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.560 he's I can look at Kevin Durant and Kareem Abdul 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:38.720 Jabbar as maybe the two most unstoppable players. You can't 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.320 guard Kevin Durant and you can't guard Kareem. I got 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.040 a seven footer with a handle and range. All right, 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.840 that's a damn good advantage you got there. But is 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.760 he a better player than Lebron? No, he's not. But 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.640 I we get into these discussions, then it's an argument, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.760 and then all of a sudden has becomes semantics and 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.400 gifted talented. It's like Aaron Rodgers. Oh, he's the most 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.240 talented quarterback to ever play the game. Not the best, 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.960 but the most talented. Okay, Brady's the greatest because of 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:17.440 his resume. Okay, so this became a big deal. But 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.760 the big deal was really what Scotty had to say 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.560 about Phil Jackson, and that is that last shot in 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.720 a playoff game, one point eight seconds to go and 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:30.360 Phil Jackson calls Tony Kukach's number during a timeout and 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:37.600 Scottie sits down. Scotty said, you gotta read between the 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.160 fine lines here with that decision by Phil, and then 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.439 he says it was a racial move to give Tony 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:52.720 ku Coach a rise how that doesn't bring up a 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.280 follow up question to say, are you calling Phil Jackson 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.800 a racist? And of course he is. This is nineteen 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:07.400 ninety four postseason between the Bulls and Knicks. I got 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.640 more of a problem with that than I do that 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:14.640 he's calling out KD. I mean, Scotty has his opinion. Okay, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.160 he's a top fifty player, he's a Hall of Famer, 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.960 he's got six rings. I loved watching him as a player, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.960 as final all around town, who's ever played the game, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:30.040 could do everything that you needed. But calling Phil Jackson out, 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.720 how does that not bring about elicit a Wait, you're 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:42.320 calling Phil Jackson a racist here, but I haven't seen 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.760 a follow up. I haven't seen a correction by Scottie. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.160 But man, did he do a disservice to Phil Jackson? 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.720 Because that's just hanging there. That's like a marine layer 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.880 and you're going, oh, it'll burn off eventually. Yeah, I 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.679 don't think it'd be that easy. All right, Poll question, mcleven, 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.160 whose career do you want? Kadi or Scottie Pippin fifty 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.440 six percent Kadi. By the way, I looked up the 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.760 ESPN dot com Top hundred lists from a couple of 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.920 years ago, Katie was already fourteen and Pippin was twenty one, 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.560 so and I think Durant might even move up higher. 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.720 So if you look at it that way, Scottie is 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:25.679 a great team player, not a solo artist. And if 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.920 he doesn't have those six titles, if he has three titles, like, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.400 he's not a top fifty player of all time. But 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.760 he was there with Michael and he did whatever needed 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.080 to be done to allow Michael to do what he 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.200 was going to do. They were rock stars. It's like 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.840 Dennis Rodman did what he was supposed to do. So 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:51.760 and Scotti is Keith Richards, not Mick Jagger, and I 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.760 think it bothers him. I think the documentary The Last Dance, 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.720 I think that hurt him. I think Jordan did him 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.160 a disservice. Now he's got a book coming out, and 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.000 who knows who he's taking shots at in that book 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:12.520 that's coming out, But you know Michael did him a disservice. Yeah, mcclub. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.160 Katie is thirty two, kind of needs to win to 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.200 get into a top five, top ten? Does he need 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.160 to win a couple more? He's a top ten player. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.480 I think he'll be a top ten player of all time, 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.160 could have won that one against Toronto too, if he 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.840 didn't get hurt. Yeah, yeah, but he did. I mean 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.120 Magic could have won another title if he didn't get hurt. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.720 Like you know, Larry Bird could have won more titles 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.120 if he didn't hurt his back. I mean the sport 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.080 is littered with that. I mean, if Anthony Davis doesn't 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.080 get hurt this year, what happens to the Lakers? Like, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.080 you can always do the what if, but you got hurt. 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.480 I don't know why everybody's focusing on the Kevin Durant 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.760 Scottie Pippen part of this. I guess because Durant responded, 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.080 and if you can include a little secret here, folks, 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.920 if you can include Lebron into a conversation, you're gonna 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.640 get clicks. Yeah. Pippan also said he thinks Aaron Rodgers 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.960 going to come back on time. I didn't mention that, 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.920 but in the g I didn't see that. I didn't 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.400 read the whole article. Is that true? Okay? That's something 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.520 all right? Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, where is he on 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:24.600 the Pro Football Focus Top fifty list? They just put 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.920 this out. I got some real questions here, take a break. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.400 We'll discuss that coming up next to it at sixteen 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:35.960 after the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show.

I'm going down the 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.800 list a little bit here, and I agree with a 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.000 lot of the names that are in here. I was 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.760 surprised at a few names that we're in here. Some 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.320 a little too high, some a little too low. I 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.479 have a real problem with Josh Allen being the fortieth best. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.600 But I want to have some context here, because we're 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.280 all about context. Steve Palazzolo, Pro Football Focus Senior analyst, 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.920 host of Pro Football Focus the NFL podcast. All right, 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.200 give me context here, Steve, of how you came up 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:59.800 with the fifty best players in the NFL. Yeah. The 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.399 context behind it is essentially all positions are created equal. 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.320 Just for this exercise, we're not worried about positional values. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.680 You know, obviously if we were, it'd be all quarterbacks 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.520 and that'd be it. So that's the first step, and 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.920 then it's looking forward. It's looking to twenty twenty one, 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.000 so it's taking not just last year, but you know, 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.840 multiple years of information and then saying, Okay, who are 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.680 the best players going forward based off everything we know, 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.120 and again not worried too much about the quarterback being 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.240 the most valuable player on the field. Okay, what makes 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.000 Aaron Donald number one on the list. He just we 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.320 grade every player on every play, Dan, and he is 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.880 just dominant, you know, from a pass rushing standpoint, from 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:40.159 a run defense standpoint, and it's been like that for 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.320 you know, since he entered the league. He's been the 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:46.840 highest graded interior defensive lineman every year since his rookie season. 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.480 And he just does it all. And it's one of 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.200 those things that shows up when he when he plays 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.960 eight hundred nine hundred snaps. It shows up more than 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.919 more than just sack totals and tackle numbers. He's just 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.480 the most unblockable player that we've ever seen. Really in 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:05.160 the PF ERA then yeah, Patrick Mahomes two, Travis Kelsey three, 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.840 Quintin Nelson four, Davante Adams five, Khalil mack Is six, 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.720 Tom Brady seven, Bobby Wagner eight, George Kittle nine, Aaron 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:21.360 Rodgers ten. Um, I can't put Brady that high. Wagner, 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.040 I like, but you know, like Khalil mack they're not 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:29.080 playing in really meaningful games. Give me your ration, now, 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.480 give me your ration now. Yeah. So with Brady, you know, 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:34.719 he was our number two graded quarterback last year. Now 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.000 it was behind Aaron Rodgers. But again we're taking body 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.359 of work. So if you yeah, until Brady really shows 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.879 physical decline, he's our highest graded quarterback not only you know, 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:45.920 of the pf ERA, but of the last four years, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.680 of the last five years. So we gave Brady the 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.320 nod there with Wagner. It's really a tough time for 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:55.320 linebackers in the NFL. Offensive coordinators are just attacking linebackers 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.560 that everything that they they're spending right now this entire 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.960 offseason thinking of ways to make Bobby Wagner another line 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.600 backers lives are miserable, but Wagner has been the clear 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.720 top linebacker in the league since Luke Keikley retired, and 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.960 a guy like Khalil Mack is similar to Aaron Donald. 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.840 It's just the down to down consistency. The sack totals 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.639 might fluctuate a little bit, but as far as just 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.800 winning one on ones and being a force in the 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.480 run game, that's where Khalil Mack shines every year. Give 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:22.800 me your biggest surprise, it's Bryce Callahan. Does anybody know? 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:26.480 Bryce Callahan here, the cornerback for the Denver Broncos. Look 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.119 so early, pff Era. We did this back and we 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.240 started this in two thousand and eight, and Chris Harris 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.480 of the Broncos was like the first guy where we 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.359 kept grading him well, grading him well, and people started 0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.480 to catch on, maybe this guy's pretty good. Bryce Callahan 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.359 could be that next guy. He has graded well with 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.040 the Chicago Bears, with the Denver Broncos. He's done it 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.400 in the slot, he's done it outside. He's only five 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.480 nine eighty eight. He shouldn't be that good. But we 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.840 grade production and he's just been really productive every time 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.399 he's been on the field. I the one that stood 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.119 out more than anything else is Josh Allen is forty 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.160 on this list, and I don't think anybody was more 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.679 valuable to their team last year than Josh Allen was. 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.480 What am I nat? He was fantastic last year. Again, 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.440 I think you just have to take the entire body 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.359 of work. So if you look at Josh Allen, he 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:15.760 was he was average to blow average his first two years. 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.639 Last year it was a legitimate breakout season. So the 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.560 fact that he's even on the list after being a 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.680 below average quarterback, probably the twenty eighth, thirtieth best quarterback 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:26.480 his first two years in the league. I mean, I 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.760 think that's just a testament to how much he's grown 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.440 in the short area, intermediate area. His accuracy, decision making 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.160 has gotten better. So, look, Allen was fantastic last year. 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:38.240 I just think it's let's see it for one more year. 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:39.800 You know, is he going to regress a little bit 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.920 or is he there? Is he an official superstar? And 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:44.600 if he is, he'll be in that top ten to 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.280 twenty range. Probably next year. You got Dak Prescott at fifty. 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:54.160 That is that higher than you thought, lower than you thought. Honestly, 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.800 I think it was it was close between Dak between 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.400 Lamar Jackson. If if another quarterback didn't land on the list, 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.280 I wouldn't have been all that upset. I think there's 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.240 I think there's a cutoff between the Mahomes, Brady's Rogers 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.320 and Russell Wilson's of the world, and then again Josh 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.399 Allen kind of in that gray area. I think it 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.639 is a big year for Lamar to maybe you know, 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.720 get back to that MVP caliber self. But with Dak, 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:17.800 I think what we've seen is he's played when he's 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.320 been on the field the last two years, the best 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.280 football of his career. Trending in the right direction. I 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.400 think we saw how valuable he was for the Cowboys 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:26.960 last year after he went down. So a lot of 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.879 things for Dak pointing toward him moving in the right 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.280 direction to be that top seven or eight quarterback moving forward. 0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.919 And this is based on a body of work. Yeah, 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.400 So if it was just based off of last year, 0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.960 how would this hold different? Would this list be? Yeah? 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:43.560 And so we do a list, you know at the 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:45.639 end of the season that is just looking back. It's like, 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:47.280 here's the we do a top one on one and 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.480 it's just the two twenty twenty season. Josh Allen would 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.560 be much higher, you know. So Dak obviously wouldn't be 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.640 on the list. He only played the six games. So yeah, 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:59.119 it multiple year sample sizes do matter right in the 0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:03.320
