Scott Fowler back 259 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: with us Charlotte Observers sports columnist. What's in worse shape? 260 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: Carolina basketball? Carolina football? 261 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 7: Well, Dan, first of all, you're nominated in my book, absolutely, 262 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 7: thank you, scon thank you. Sorry, I'm not getting any 263 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 7: of those burritas. But I think the answer to that 264 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 7: question is clear. Eighty five percent of those people are 265 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 7: indeed right, football is worse off. I mean, whoever they 266 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 7: hire here as a you know, as the basketball coach, 267 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 7: this remains one of the five best jobs in college sports, 268 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 7: and I have confidence that the program will return to 269 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 7: some prominence, but right now it's obviously lost some luster. 270 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 7: Really has How did that happen? You know, I think 271 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 7: that's a good question. Gradually and then all at once. 272 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 7: I think it became after Roy left. They have not 273 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 7: quite figured out how to sustain it. You know, Hubert 274 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 7: Davis had a great first year and the last four 275 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 7: years have been sort of trying to recapture that magic. 276 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 7: And the last these two first round exits in a row, 277 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 7: and in today's environment, I don't think this would have 278 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 7: happened twenty years ago. I don't think you get fired 279 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 7: for something like this, And make no mistake, he was ousted. 280 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 7: This was not Hubert, you know, a parting of the ways. 281 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 7: This was Hubert wanted to stay. But yeah, I think 282 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 7: in today's climate it's very you know, a lot of impatience, 283 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 7: a lot of donors and boosters with a lot of influence. 284 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: And that's where we are. And you're measured by the 285 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: school eight miles down the road. And they made a 286 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 2: seamless transition from their hall of fame coach to John Shier. 287 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: They've come up with incredible recruiting classes here. So having 288 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: that the proximity, if I'm a donor, a booster, a collective, 289 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: I'm only measuring North Carolina. I don't measuring North Carolina 290 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: with anybody else in America, only with Duke. That's a 291 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: tough comparison, Scott. 292 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think you're right on the money there, Dan 293 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 7: he if Duke was in New York or something, you know, 294 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 7: it doesn't it's not the same. But because that is 295 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 7: the blue blood rivalry to end all rivalries around here, 296 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 7: and Duke has been so darned good and they're good 297 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 7: again and they might win another championship and plus now 298 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 7: they they seem to have employ the best player and 299 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 7: employee literally employee the best player in America. Like now, 300 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 7: it's been two years in a row with Cooper Flag 301 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 7: and Boozer, and Carolina had one of those players. And 302 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 7: if Caleb Wilson hadn't gotten hurt, I'm not sure that 303 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 7: Hubert Davis would have this would have happened. 304 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 4: But it did. 305 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 7: I was at the game in Greenville when they blew 306 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 7: the nineteen point lead, and even then in the I 307 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 7: was in that postgame press conference and asked one of 308 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 7: those questions too, and oh it was. 309 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: It was bad news. 310 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 7: One of the one of the low points of press 311 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 7: conferences I've ever seen. 312 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: Let me give you what information I got this morning 313 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: from a source saying, I don't imagine Billy Donovan is 314 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: in play, nor Brad Stevens, Tommy Lloyd at Arizona, johnsh 315 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: Shirts at Saint Louis make sense. My source also threw 316 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: in Michael Malone feels like a super creative, capable option 317 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: as well. Nat Oates feels like he's not controlling his situation. 318 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: Todd Golden appears to be possessed by spirits when he coaches. Uh, 319 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,119 Speaker 2: what do you what do you make of that information? 320 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 7: Well, it's a lot of fun to speculate. 321 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 4: Right now. 322 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 7: I can't tell you I know anything about really where 323 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 7: they're going to go next. 324 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: Uh. 325 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 7: Accept And I wrote this today, uh in our in 326 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 7: my Charlotte Observer column.

I mean, he can, of 341 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 7: course step in and help and be involved anytime he 342 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 7: wants to be. But my conversations with Michael and I've 343 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 7: seen a fair amount of him because he's so involved 344 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 7: in his NASCAR team right now. He was, you know, 345 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 7: he won the big NASCAR trial here in Charlotte in 346 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 7: December and now is one four of six races in NASCAR. 347 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 7: I mean, that is that is a lot of his 348 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 7: focus lies. He wants them to get it right, obviously, 349 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 7: but I don't think Michael Jordan is the man behind 350 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 7: the curtain pulling the strings here. 351 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 2: I haven't heard much about Bill Belichick in Carolina. Football 352 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: is good, It's probably good. Yeah, yeah, Okay, they finished Okay, 353 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: didn't he? 354 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 7: I mean, I guess it wasn't an abject disaster by 355 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 7: the end, but they were still about four and eight. 356 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 7: I think I'm remembering that record, right. You know. The 357 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 7: funny thing is they opened spring practice yesterday and then 358 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 7: Hubert got fired at night the same very same day. 359 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 7: They'll probably be a little better. I think Belichick is 360 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 7: going to learn from some mistakes there. But that's one 361 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 7: where I just, you know, I just don't know that 362 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 7: that's honestly gonna work out long term. 363 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wondering what is long term? M Yeah. 364 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 7: I mean I think he's got one more year for sure, 365 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 7: and then probably a third, and then it better be 366 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 7: right at that point. But if they went two and 367 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 7: ten this year, all bets are off. But if they're 368 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 7: six and six, which may be more like what it's 369 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 7: going to be. I think he gets a third year. 370 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: Is he getting married? I don't know, Dan. 371 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 7: If so, I'm not. 372 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: Invited, Okay, I mean neither.

Great to see you again, Mel. 383 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: Give me the one thing that would make you change 384 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 2: your opinion now that no games are played leading up 385 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 2: to the draft. But what information changes where you slaughtch 386 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: somebody in the draft? 387 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 5: Dan first, were great to be with you as always. 388 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 5: I think the only thing you want to wait on 389 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 5: is guys that didn't do much at the combine that 390 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 5: what do they do during their pro days? Anything you 391 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 5: hear from an interview. Anything you hear about an injury 392 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 5: late Dan could alter some things. Certainly at this stage 393 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 5: of the game. You better know who can play and 394 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 5: who can't play. It's all those little things that you 395 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 5: could tueak it with. I'm coming up in another week 396 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 5: with the top one fifty. You do that every year 397 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 5: and those rankings. I tell you if you lose some 398 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 5: sleepover and Dan at the end of the day, so 399 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 5: many players in this draft are within a range where 400 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 5: you could go one way or the other. You're only 401 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 5: splitting hairs. This is one of those drafts where you know, 402 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 5: it's a lot of mixed opinion and there's very few 403 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 5: positions where you have tremendous depth in the Day three, 404 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 5: but wide receiver is one of those. And it's trying 405 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 5: to separate forty five receivers Dan and have draftall grades. 406 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 4: It's not easy. 407 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 2: But what is the one thing though, that separates wide 408 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 2: receivers well. 409 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 5: In this particular draft when you look at the guys 410 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 5: that if the production and the consistency, you got to 411 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 5: catch the ball. And I understand people say, hey, you 412 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 5: always have a couple drops that are concentration drops. Who 413 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 5: catches the football and you also have to weigh in 414 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 5: what was responsible for that. And you look at a 415 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 5: Zachariah Branch, who I love. He went the goat to 416 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 5: the gauntlet. He caught the ball at the combine, so effortless. 417 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 5: Sep Let's say, well, he had a couple of dry 418 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 5: he's a bubble screen guy. He didn't hear the ball 419 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 5: down the field. So it's how you view projecting a 420 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 5: college player Dan into the NFL. And if you remember 421 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 5: back not that long ago, Zave Flowers, Jordan Addison, Jackson 422 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 5: Smith and Jigbo Offensive Player of the Year Quinton Johnson, 423 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: they were all first rounders. There are some experts that 424 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 5: none of them deserve to be in the first round. 425 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 5: So all four turned three at a four turn, that'd 426 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 5: be great. So at the end of the day, mixed 427 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 5: opinion reigns supreme this year more than other. And the 428 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 5: other Dan that I can ever remember, because there's so 429 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 5: many guys with very similar grades and one little bit 430 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 5: of information can swing it one way. 431 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: Or the other is Fernando men Mendoza, a great story, 432 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: great quarterback or both. 433 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 5: Thank he's both. Think he's a great story. He's a 434 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 5: great quarterback. To see him what he did at Cal 435 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 5: to watch him, and I did that the other day. 436 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 5: I went back to sacks that he took and it 437 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 5: was like forty one sacks at Cal. And he goes 438 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 5: to Indiana. He knows he has to improve on that 439 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 5: and he did so. That extra that year in college 440 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 5: really benefited him. From that standpoint, Dan Layton plays, how 441 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 5: consistent he was making the right decision late in the 442 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 5: play was outstanding. The way he did under pressure in games. 443 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 5: Leveruld say, well, they won in some cake walks, right. 444 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 5: They didn't against Penn State, they didn't against Oregon. There 445 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 5: were games that were hotly confessed. He had to make 446 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 5: plays late. Iowa was defense will frustrate the hell out 447 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 5: of you, Dan, they really will. Phil Parker does a 448 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 5: great job. Look what they did against Dante Moore. You know, 449 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: you think about quarterbacks against Iowa, and again he did 450 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 5: what he had to do late in that game. So 451 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 5: for me, he answered every question that you had from 452 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 5: Cal to Indiana because we had great talent. Well go 453 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 5: into the year. I know Omar Cooper Junior could be 454 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 5: a first round receiver, Elijah Sharratz a good third round receiver. 455 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: You Roman Hem became from Maryland, did a good job 456 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 5: run the ball, and Kaylin Black did a good job 457 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 5: as well, being at one two punch. But for me, 458 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 5: Fernando Mendoza for what he did from start to finish 459 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 5: with the pressure and in the playoffs stand eight touchdown passes, 460 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 5: no picks and a rushing touchdown and he was at 461 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 5: seventy five percent in the three biggest games of the 462 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 5: year at the end of the season. 463 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: If you were drafting him on what you saw at Cow, 464 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 2: not Indiana, where would Mendoza go? 465 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 5: Well, he probably, you know, going into the year, you 466 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 5: hoped he would improve. If you would have just come 467 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 5: out after the Cow year, you probably would have been 468 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 5: thinking maybe because of the talent that he had. He 469 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 5: showed what he could do at col even what he 470 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 5: had some situations that weren't benefiting the quarterback that he 471 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: had to deal with. I'm talking about pressure from the 472 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 5: defensive front. He still probably would have been a second 473 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 5: round pick, late first round pick. So he was a 474 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 5: guy that people thought. I'm on people in the NFL. 475 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 5: My friends in the league, Dan thought back in August 476 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 5: he could be a guy to keep a close eye on. 477 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 5: But there were other guys that were talking about Arch 478 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 5: Manning being the number one pick guaranteed. Yeah, you're talking 479 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 5: about Sam Levin coming off that great year at Arizona State, 480 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 5: Leonora Sellers at South Carolina. Tons of quarterbacks were talked 481 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 5: about a lot more than ty Simpson from Alabama, and 482 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 5: certainly for Nando Mendoza from Indiana. And now all of 483 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: a sudden, I got Mendozo's number one of my big board. 484 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 5: Dan and ty Simson's twenty five won my big board. 485 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 2: Okay, that's a big disparity, one to twenty five. Dan 486 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 2: Arlovsky loves him some, Ty Simpson. What is Orlovsky seeing that? 487 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: Maybe you're not seeing? Yeah, I know Dan. 488 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 5: When he explained it, and I just went back away. 489 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 5: I would counter that. You say, Okay, you know the 490 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 5: factors that you have to look at closely. You know 491 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 5: who's the bigger quarterback four inches nearly four inches taller, 492 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 5: twenty five pounds heavier. You think about the experience, Dan, 493 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 5: fifteen starts is a dangerous risky number for ty Simpson. 494 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 5: Look at the you know the seven eight quarterbacks that 495 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 5: had below twenty starts and look how they fared not well. 496 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 5: So again that's a risky number. Fernando has thirty five starts. Dan, 497 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 5: he had a completion president of seventy two percent. Ty 498 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 5: was around sixty four percent. Seven rushing touchdowns for Fernando, 499 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 5: two for Simpson. So you talk about accuracy, you talk 500 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: about decision making, you talk about being able to see 501 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 5: the field, dealing with pressure to have about expectations, Dan, 502 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 5: when you're an Indiana quarterback and you roll through the 503 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: year and you get to the playoffs, everybody's saying, after 504 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 5: what happened last year, Okay, when you know Indiana had 505 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 5: a great regular season, then you lose a notre name. Well, 506 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 5: let's see if the Ada can finished the job. Now 507 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 5: they're playing big time opponents. He did that with all 508 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 5: that pressure. Then he wins the Heisman. Then he has 509 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 5: to go win a national title. Right. He always talked 510 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 5: about cracking the code, and he is obsessed with that. 511 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 5: He kind of has that Peyton Manning ability in that 512 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 5: regard to just be so into what he's doing and 513 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 5: studying it so hard. He's got a little Matt Ryan 514 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 5: in him. So I think if you look at comps, 515 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 5: it would be kind of a Peyton Manning Matt Ryan 516 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 5: comp for Fernando Mendoza. Dan explained, that I don't agree. 517 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 5: Everybody has their opinion. I was big on Shador Sanders 518 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 5: last year, and I thought Shador played well this year. 519 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 5: We'll see how it plays out. For Ty Simpson, I 520 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 5: think that with fifteen stars, sure at sixty, but fifteen starts, 521 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 5: you need to have a chance to transition to the 522 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 5: NFL another year at Alabama, I think it would have 523 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 5: helped him. He had five straight games DAN where he 524 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 5: had a fumble lost, and then he had another fumble 525 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 5: loss which was a sixth against Indiana in the playoff 526 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 5: game when he got hit by D'Angelo Pons and cracked 527 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 5: that rib. So those are at an area he could 528 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 5: have improved upon. He get sacked and coughing up. Can't 529 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 5: do that in the NFL, where you're expected. Dan. In 530 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 5: the NFL, and you guys know what you talk about 531 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 5: every week, Guy is a bad game. 532 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 4: What happened? 533 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 5: He's not playing well. You are scrutinized, you are picked apart, 534 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 5: and you're expected to play at a consistently high level 535 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 5: every week in the NFL. And you don't get any 536 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 5: free pass as you'r a rookie or a second year 537 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 5: quarterback in this league, they will chew you up and 538 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 5: spit you out before you can blink. You better be 539 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 5: prepared to deal with that mental part as opposed to 540 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: the physical part. Mendoz went back, got another year, improved 541 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 5: in that key area. Ty Simpson I think needed another year. 542 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 5: He's not gonna get it. So you better be patient 543 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 5: with ty Simpson and realize to force him in this 544 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 5: year as a rookie, and they all do, Dan, they 545 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 5: all are gonna play. Maybe asking a little too much. 546 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: If Arch Manning was available in this draft, you know, that's. 547 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 5: A tough question. That's a very difficult question because of 548 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 5: what you expect Arch to be this coming year based 549 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 5: on the talent, the way he can run together. But 550 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 5: he's got to improve that accuracy and the decision, all 551 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 5: the things that another year is gonna been. I was 552 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 5: so happy. That's why I never put him on the 553 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 5: big board. 554 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 3: Dan. 555 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: I never put him in anything because I said he's 556 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 5: got to go back. Archie said that back in August. 557 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 5: Don't put him in it. He needs another year. So 558 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 5: the expectations and the struggles back. Remember only in the 559 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 5: year everybody was building up to be to trifect the Dan. 560 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 5: He was gonna win a Heisman Trophy. He was gonna 561 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 5: be the number one pick in the draft, and he 562 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 5: was going to lead the Texas to a national title. 563 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 5: Are you kidding me? Really, that's what you're gonna put 564 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 5: on his shoulders. And he didn't accomplish that. So again, 565 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 5: now he's going back. So had it gone the way expected, 566 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 5: he'd been clear cut number one guy Dan for on talent, 567 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 5: but he didn't had that kind of year. It was uneven. 568 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 5: Started out pretty bad, and then it got better and 569 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 5: you saw glimpses of God, he's gonna be the guaranteed 570 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 5: number one pick this coming year. But to say, you know, 571 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 5: assume that was gonna happen, it didn't happen. It didn't 572 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 5: come together. So he'd have been right there with Mendoz. 573 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 5: And I think that's minimizing how good Fernando is. 574 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 4: Dan. 575 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 5: When you say automatically put Archi ahead of Mendoza, it's 576 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 5: not a force. He's not up there because he's a 577 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 5: quarterback and the Raiders have to take a quarterback. Mendoza 578 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 5: is there because he earned it and he's got a 579 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 5: lot of talent. And when you got comps the Peyton, 580 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 5: Manning and Matt Ryan, that tells you all you need 581 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 5: to know. 582 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: Mel kiper draft expert. You can catch his NFL mock 583 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: Draft four point zero dropping on Tuesday, April fourteen. I 584 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 2: fell in love with Jeremiah Love when I saw him 585 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: in person, and I know, I think you have him 586 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: as your second highest rated player behind Mendoza. I know 587 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 2: that the philosophy is don't take a running back up 588 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 2: that high. But I have somebody who is unique and 589 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 2: different than anybody else. It feels like in the draft, 590 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: I just don't I don't understand that that. If I'm Tennessee, 591 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta have that guy. I can't go. Oh, 592 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 2: I got to worry about a second contract. The NFL 593 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 2: was about now in the next two years. It feels 594 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 2: like with these guys and coaches, So why wouldn't he go? Well, 595 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 2: how high do you think Jeremiah Love will go and 596 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 2: should go? 597 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 5: Dan? You know who's responsible for that philosophy? I am right. 598 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 5: That was the philosophy that started twenty five years ago. 599 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 5: And I got screened that screened at, yelled at tell 600 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 5: it all kind of stuff. And I really believe that 601 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 5: back in those days, you could I've kind of come 602 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 5: around and not come around, But I'm agreeing with you 603 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 5: on this point. He's more than a running back. If 604 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 5: he were not a great receiving option, I'd be saying, no, no, 605 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 5: he has not multi dimensional enough. But as a receiving option, 606 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 5: I'm talking about swing pass, the screen passes, day and checkdowns. 607 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 4: I'm talking about put. 608 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 5: Him out in the slot. Put him why he can 609 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 5: do that. So for me, because he's so more than 610 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 5: just a running back, he is worthy of being the 611 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 5: second pick, third pick to Arizona, fourth pick to Tennessee, 612 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 5: seventh pick to Washington, wherever it may be. So for me, yes, 613 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 5: Christian McCaffrey, say for Washington. Came there, you know, came 614 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 5: to the forty nine ers, right, and look what he's 615 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 5: done for the Niners. Christian McCaffrey, who is a GM 616 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 5: Adam Peters. Adam Peters is at Washington. Adam Peters had 617 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: some serviceable backs, but he doesn't have a Jeremiah Love 618 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 5: for Jayde Daniels, who's a fear factor quarterback. You put 619 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 5: a fear factor player weapon like Jeremiah Love with Jayde 620 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 5: and Daniels. You got something special going on there, and 621 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 5: so much for defenses to worry about. So I'm with 622 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 5: you on Jeremiah Love. He's the second best player in 623 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 5: the draft behind Mendoza for me, somethink, but he's the 624 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 5: best player in this draft. So again, he's more than 625 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 5: worthy of being a top four. Certainly, if he gets 626 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 5: down to seven, it would be almost you know how 627 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 5: long you have to wait for Washington to take that 628 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 5: card up, because that would make perfect sense for them. 629 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: NFL Hall of Fame Contributors to the Game. I keep 630 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: talking about you. I never reached out to you, but 631 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: I felt this strongly about Brent Musburger and went to 632 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame and wrote a letter. You should 633 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame one day as a 634 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: contributor to the game. 635 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 5: I appreciate that, Dan, and I know Adam has mentioned. 636 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 5: I appreciate that you've been great friends for all these years. 637 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 5: But I just feel like I don't want a part 638 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 5: of anything. I just want to do what I do. 639 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 5: Joel Buschbound was there before me. Joel was great, late 640 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 5: great Joel Bushbounce started this a long time ago. There 641 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 5: are plenty of other people doing this before me. I 642 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 5: just got an opportunity for me ESPN to take it 643 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 5: to the entire world and be somebody that was talking 644 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 5: about the draft one television, radio and then the dot 645 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 5: com and all the different entities we do it on. 646 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 5: So it is something that you know, I will say 647 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 5: is Dand one thing I did get right was how 648 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 5: popular the draft would be when everybody was fighting against 649 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 5: the ESPN. Don't televise it. Nobody wants to just hear 650 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 5: names called. Everybody was fighting against me. Why is anybody 651 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 5: watching the draft? Why does anybody care? What Kuiper says. 652 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 5: I dealt with that hostility, negativity and hate up until 653 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 5: really the early two thousand stand when even the haters 654 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 5: had to just shut up or jump on board because 655 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 5: they hated on me. I started this in nineteen seventy eight, 656 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 5: seventy nine, Dan, and to I just say, the only 657 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,239 Speaker 5: thing I did was I survived the hate. If I 658 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 5: read you the scathing articles and the comments that were 659 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 5: made from really seventy nine up until two thousand, it 660 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 5: would say, how did you last that long? I took 661 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 5: a lot of hits in the pocket.
