And so much for then, 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:31.000 It's time for The Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:38.280 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.879 It is Monday, July twenty ninth, twenty nineteen, season fifteen, 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.080 episode number fifteen, and we are live here from Oxnard, California, 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.839 for another edition of The Break. Got Nick, Dave and 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.320 Amber along with me. We're talking some Cowboys football with 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.600 you guys for the next hour. Man, we got a 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.800 lot to get into talking about. We'll talking about quarterbacks today. 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.840 I think yesterday we've spent quite a bit of time 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.279 talking about the running back situation in Zeke Elliott. Uh 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.040 and I just think we spend a little time on 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.039 this quarterback. Lots of things to talk about there. How's 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:11.640 everybody feeling this morning? I feel great, feel comfortable. Nice. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:19.400 It's sixty three degrees here. Hey, it's better than Dallas. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.760 It's great for the players Cowboys. All right, Well, let's 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.199 jump right in. Nick. Hey, actually just like we did yesterday, 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.959 We're gonna start. We're gonna start with a segment of 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.640 blanket coverage. That's what I call this segment. What I'll 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.160 do is I'll have some statements for you. We got 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.720 three states, we got three statements, and they're all gonna 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.840 have a blank that you guys will fill in. Let's 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.840 start with the first statement. Kellen Moore is the first 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.720 time Now this one's a little long, so follow me here. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.040 Kellen Moore is the first time offensive coordinator with a 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.520 ton of weapons. John Kitton is the first year QB 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.440 coach task with taking back to the next level. The 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:59.880 coach who has the harder job is blank, Dave Kellen Moore, 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.600 Because I mean John kittnas he said it more times 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.520 than I can count at this point. Like Dak is, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.640 he said. Dak is the most driven player he's ever 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.519 been around. His desire to be great is all consuming 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.280 and refreshing, and he wants to be coached and pushed. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.760 So I mean, it's you know, it's hard. I get that, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.919 but that doesn't sound that challenging. Whereas Kellen Moore's got 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.160 to do something with an offense that finished twenty eight 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.840 second in the League last year ever, Kellen, I mean, 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.320 when you look at it, Kinna essentially has to coach 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.120 one main guy. Yes, he has to coach whoever the 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:37.800 backtub is gonna be. But that's important too, very very important. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:42.000 Don't lose that, don't lose very important. Yes, But in essence, 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:46.480 you're focusing on one to three guys versus Kellen Moore, 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.400 who's having to take control of a whole offense and 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.000 dealing with different components and making sure that he's creating 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.959 something different that we haven't seen before. Not to which 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.880 I mean Nick needs to answer the question too. But 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.960 Kelly Moore's gotta make he's got to make this thing go. 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.000 And there's a lot of talent on that offense, which 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.120 means there's a lot of people who have an idea 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.680 about the way it should be, whether that's dad and 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.640 when someone else's job is on your shoulder. But he 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.800 also is dealing with a lot of guys, at least 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.960 in my perspective, aren't necessarily give me the ball kind 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.840 of guys. No, they all want they all want to 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.440 be a part, don't get me wrong, But I don't 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.320 know if you've got guys that are give me the ball, No, 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.600 like you make not so much. Sometimes you have that 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.160 much talent, Give me the ball. But that didn't work. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.520 This would have worked, which a lot of times this 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.280 would have worked. Means it would have worked if you'd 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:37.640 gotten to the ball. But Nick, it's Kellen Moore because 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.400 last year the offense struggled, and what happened the offensive 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.000 coordinator got fired, or what happened the quarterback coach got 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.080 a promotion, so Kellen Moore moved into a spot. And 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.040 so it is. It's obviously the pressure is on Kellen 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.840 Moore now is the offensive coordinator. If they don't do well, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.480 he may not be the guy. But John Kittenham, for 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.240 some reason, as the quarterback coach, just like Kellen did, 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.040 got a promo motion out of it. So I think 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.040 Jerry and Jason and they look at it, like you know, 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.520 there's obviously a lot more pressure for the offensive coordinator, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:10.600 and I think last year was a good example of that. 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.320 All right. Statement Number two, Shaun Lee reportedly asked to 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.200 be a special teams player entering his tenth season. Sean 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:21.960 Lee is blank. I'm not going to agree with that. Okay, 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.279 I don't think Sean Lee asked to be a special 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.000 teams player. I think Sean I think Sean Lee has 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:31.479 said I'll do what it takes, whatever is needed of Okay, Okay, 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.080 I just want to get out there. I think that's yeah. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:37.560 I think you could probably say the same thing about 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.360 moving to Sam linebacker too. Okay, but let's okay, Let's 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.160 say Sean Lee has agreed and he's willing to be 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.640 a special teams player in his tenth season. Shan Lee 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.600 is blank nick, all in, all in for this football team. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.080 He whatever it takes. Sean Lee is there. And I 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.040 know that there was a lot of talk about, Hey, 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.520 he lives in California. He wanted to go go back 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.320 to Dallas just so he could take the charter, and 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.520 he said to us yesterday, I want to get on 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.320 these charters as long as I can those charters. This 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.880 is when the football team is together and going up there. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.320 He's all in. He knows Layton and m Jalen are 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.400 the two best linebackers on the team. He wants to 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.880 have a role, and he understand it. I just think 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.760 it's all in, Dave. I just suck up to Jason 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.080 Garrett and say driven les driven, which that can mean 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.680 a lot of I mean, he's he's been driven to 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.680 be great at football since he was, like, what at 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.760 fourteen years old? But I think, you know, I think 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.159 i'll use a Brian broadest term too, like he's he's 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.640 chipping in on seventeen or eighteen, like his his career 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.480 is much closer to the end than the beginning, and 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.479 wouldn't surprise me if this is the final year of 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.120 his career or you know, it's close. And I think 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.080 he knows this is a really talented team and rather 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.919 than worry about his ego, he's gonna he's driven to 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.919 do whatever he can to help them. I really admire it. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.680 Shan Lee is blank Amber. He's awesome. I love him. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.760 I love Slee. He's passionate, he's smart, he is driven, 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.919 he's focused, he loves this game. He is a great 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.039 teammate and like every both of them have said, he 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.480 would do anything for this team. And the fact that 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.880 he's not selfish and still does it with good heart. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.760 You know, you don't see any animosity. I don't even 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.680 know if that's the right words, but he sounds right. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:24.680 He doesn't have any hate or envy towards anybody. He's 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.200 just a great teammate, and I think that's exactly what 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.640 the Cowboys needed, especially at this time. And he's he's amazing. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.120 All right, let's move on statement number three. The Cowboys 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.080 to this point have had all their practices in shorts 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.760 and T shirts. Today they put on the pads when 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.520 the Pats come on. I'm most excited to see Blank 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:49.120 Amber fight fight. I already sucked up to Garrett you 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:54.880 can't do it too from last year. No, I am excited. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.960 I'm excited to finally see some contact and be able 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.320 to see, for example, players like Tacco, what is he 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.320 gonna do? There are some guys I come in here 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.159 and yes, they look physically, they look good, they have 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.400 you athletusis and but once that contact comes in in 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.240 action and you get to do it and get off 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.320 the line of scrimmage, what are you gonna do? Are 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.160 you able to move around? Are you able to take 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.040 guys like Tyrn Smith? Are you able to take other 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.800 guys out? You know? So, I'm excited to see them 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.240 full go Dave action. Yeah. I don't want to single 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.920 one specific thing out because there's so much to watch, 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.560 but I mean these, you know, the OTA practices are 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.000 I mean boring, for lack of a better word. There's 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.880 not a lot going on, especially out here. At least 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.640 in the spring. They were going against each other, no 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.240 offense versus defense whatsoever. The last two days. That's going 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.480 to change today, whether it's one on ones, whether it's 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.080 actual offense versus defense, We're just gonna see action in 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.800 real football. And it's great. Yeah, I'll just be specific 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.400 to what they're saying. I mean, one on one drills, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.040 you know, the lineman versus the live versus the D line. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.000 You know, the guys like that, and that's where you know, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.400 that's where you noticed Antoine Woods from a year ago. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.160 That's where he started to make, you know, some noise. 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:11.600 And so who's this year's guy going to be? So yeah, 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.680 it's it's very interesting you said that. I know you 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.400 and I were talking about this yesterday talking about the 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.160 offensive versus defensive line. This may be the deepest offensive 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.720 line that we've had around here in a while. We 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.680 were talking about the fact that if you look at 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.320 this second team offensive line, they may be as good 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.400 as some first team units around the NFL. So when 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.440 you when you consider that and you consider that up 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.960 against the talent that this team has on the defensive 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.080 line as well. I think there's some really really unique 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.600 opportunities to see some really good football there and see 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.719 some fun competition here over the next couple of days. Um, so, 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.679 let's let's go and jump into this conversation on the quarterbacks. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.560 I guess the first thing I want to kind of 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.000 get into is a lot of talk that was happening 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.360 during the offseason, and you guys watched all the OTAs 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.000 in mini miniicamp practices. There was a ton of talk 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.040 about how, you know, Dak's been working with Kitna, He's 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.240 improved his footwork work, his accuracy is better. I'll ask 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.640 you guys, after watching that, was there anything that you 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.320 saw that that gave credence to those kinds of statements 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.440 that his accuracy has improved, his footwork has improved. What 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.280 have you seen just in OTAs in mini camps and 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.439 maybe the first two days practice mid level throws eighteen yards? 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.360 Those throws right there are the ones that you see 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.560 these guys open a lot. I think that that's a 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.880 credit to also Kellen Moore. I feel like these guys 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.000 are getting schemed open more. But you know, he can 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.480 throw the ball deep. He can obviously throw it short 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.440 underneath and make the right reads and all that, but 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.240 those eighteen yard throws, those are the ones that are 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.280 the toughest ones. And to make a really good quarterback, 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.280 you got to throw it over the linebacker and under 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.560 the safety as the guys moving. And I think we've 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.800 seen We'll see what happens when them when you know, 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.800 pads come on. But I think those are the passes 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.880 that I've been impressed with. Yeah, just looked, I mean, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.880 his anticipation and his placement looked phenomenal. In the spring, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.319 it really stood out to me with Randall Cobb. That's 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.960 I just have sky high hopes for what they can be. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.240 And yeah, intermediate throws leading the receiver, putting it on 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:07.959 him instead of behind him or too far out in 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.080 front of little stuff like that. I haven't really you know. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.560 I know people are arguing about some of his throws 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.839 out here so far these first two days, and I 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.400 couldn't care less. It's all on air. It's really hard 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.760 to tell how accurate they are when nobody's contesting it. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.440 So I haven't seen anything to really give me an 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.920 impression to this point out here. But in OTAs he 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.319 really he looked different in a good way. Really, yeah, 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.520 he did. That's good old now, you know well, And 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.040 I like when he's starting to step out of the 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.880 comfort zone that I feel that the Cowboys had built 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.480 around him and for him of those short yardish throws 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.440 you know, to Cole Beasley, Jason Witten when he was 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.800 here and now that he's back, Yeah, that's great. But 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.760 being able to see him make those throws down the 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.480 field now at this point of the what it's not 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.800 the season, but the off season. I guess at this 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.679 point of the year, it's good, yes, training camp, but 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.960 it's good to see and the fact that he is 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.080 being able to make those throw it's very motivational for 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.520 what is to come this year. Yeah, it's interesting. I 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.320 just I want to see it here now. Yeah. Right, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.160 it's very interesting. And I think at this point what 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.559 we really are wanting to see is does he take 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.840 that next step into being one of the elite quarterbacks 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.080 in the NFL. He's done some really good things. I 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.720 was telling you, Dave before we went on the air. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.640 I went back last night and I was doing some 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.720 research on just some historically how you would how would 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.200 you would characterize what Dak has done in the first 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:34.800 three years of his career, and check out some of 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.680 these numbers. Really remarkable stuff when you think about it. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.640 But the first thing said out to me is he 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.160 is only one of eight players in the NFL has 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.520 started all games. So the first three years as a 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.680 quarterback's again, we're talking about one hundred years NFL this 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.520 year is celebrating a hundred years of existence, and in 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.000 a hundred years, he is one of eight players that's 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.400 been able to do that. Here are the interesting numbers. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.800 He is second all time in completion percentage in the 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.960 first three years of his career at sixty six point 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:05.400 one percent. He is fifth in wins with thirty two. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.480 He is six in quarterback rating with ninety six. And 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.199 here was the stat that really jumped off to me. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.840 He is number one all time one hundred years first 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.120 three years of a quarterback's career in game winning drives 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.880 with fourteen. This guy's had a pretty phenomenal first three 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.319 years as a quarterback in the NFL. So here's what 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.679 I wanted to do with you guys. We're gonna play 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.679 a little game. It's gonna be I'm gonna give you 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.680 a name I'm gonna go down this list of last 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.920 season the quarterbacks in the NFL in order of passing yards, 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.840 and when I want you guys to tell me would 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.080 you rather would you rather have Dak or this guy? 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.439 All right on, Dak for what to this year? Or 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.360 as my quarterbacks because I have a new franchise. No 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.679 that Derek acts like that's not fair, but it totally is. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.080 It's fair. I just it's just I didn't think that 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.840 far ahead. Tell you what, let's how would you prefer 0:12:55.880 --> 0:13:00.280 to do this year? This year? Just for this year? Yeah, 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.400 just for this year, not for the future, just for 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.400 this year. All right, that's fine. I'm going with that. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:05.839 I'm going with that. So here's what we're gonna do. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.680 I'm gonna go through the list. You tell me would 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.000 you rather have that guy? That guy. I'm gonna try 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.160 to keep score here, and what I'm looking for is 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.720 the total. So if we can get two out of three, 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.680 then we'll count that person. I want to see how 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.400 many quarterbacks in the NFL you guys would rather have 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:25.920 instead of Dack? Okay, got it, Ben Roethlisberger, Dak. That's tough. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.600 Come on, first thought, I don't like this scheme, let's 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.600 go probably been all right, which that's tough because I 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.800 assume Ben's gonna miss like anywhere between two and four games, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.800 all right, and you'd rather have been I think, So okay, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:46.480 Amber this year, I think Dak. I'm gonna go with that. Okay, 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.840 So Ben is out. Patrick Mahomes my homes all right, 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:58.640 that's one. Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan. M I would say 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.960 with Dak, you stay with Dack Nick. I'm sorry for 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.040 I need the judge's ruling on this. Is this for 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.960 the Cowboys? Is Matt Ryan on the Cowboys or Dak 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.400 on the game? Is that what we're doing? Who would 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.480 you rather have on the cowbooks for this year? Matt Ryan, 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.559 Matt Ryan. Okay, So Matt Rown makes two. Jared Golf, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.200 Dack Dack I'm not a I'm not a believer in 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.720 golf yet. Andrew Luck Luck Look yeah, all right, So 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:27.040 that's three. Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers, that's four. Tom Brady, 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:32.600 Tom Brady, that's five. H Philip Rivers Rivers for one year. Right, 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:38.960 We're not building the franchise this year? Yeah yeah, uh 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:45.680 Rivers Rivers Okay, I mean yeah, all right, So Rivers 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.240 that's six Eli Manning. Dak seriously, come on, Kirk Cousins 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:55.320 back all right, Deshaun Watson Dak Dack all right, that's 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.800 interesting to all y'all said that, okay, Um, Derek Carr 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.520 Dak Dak all right, Drew Brees breeze freeze all right, 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:09.400 Caseina Dak Dak all right. I mean and now and 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.960 now and now and now you get to the point 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.160 of that's where Daki is right now, yeah, in passing 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:22.080 guards right then. Matthew Stafford, Oh, that's tough. Like that. 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.680 Matt Stafford is just he's so interesting because like he's 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.960 everything you could want in a quarterback, except like he 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.560 doesn't happen well, he doesn't have the one thing that 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.000 Dak has, which is like it, you know, the game 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:40.200 winning the chair, Matthew Stafford, and once he does, we're 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.080 still at zero playoff wins within with yeah, no and 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.320 what and you know, I get that that's hard, but like, 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.040 and he's very good. Like he's he's super talented. I 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.760 think recently somebody was quoted in the story of being 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.800 like he's the most talented quarter just if you're talking 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.160 about talent, he's the best one ever. Just in terms 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.640 of like god given ability, but he has yet to 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.240 dis like it, like and he's had a Megatron. You 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.360 can't say that he hasn't had Guys, He's had some 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.480 great things. I'll take like. There's no doubt he's more 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.520 talented than Dak. But I think i'll take my chances 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.320 with that Dack. You in Amber, can you switch them 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.880 in now? Like, okay, at this time of the game, 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:24.080 let him all right? Uh so he's out Baker Mayfield. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.040 I really love Baker. I think he's going places, but 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.440 I gotta see more. I gotta see more than twelve 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.240 he starts. Yeah, Russell Wilson, Russ, I love Russ. All right? 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:43.280 Uh Cam Newton, dam Cam Newton on this Cam Newton 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.760 on this team could do some damnah. Yeah, I'll take Cam. 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.120 You'll take Cama going to camp. Okay, that's nine. I'll 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:55.280 take all right, Mitchell Trubisky Dak all right, Um, Carson 0:16:55.320 --> 0:17:01.000 Wentz Dak Dak my game in sixteen games out of 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:05.359 wins this year. Okay, don't want this based on his 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.840 history whatever, whatever you think of his history. That's really tough. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.600 I said it quick, but it's tough. It is tough. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.800 But that may be one of the toughest ones that's 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.359 in this whole thing. I mean, if they're both healthy, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.280 you know, don't kill me. Wentz is probably a better 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.960 pure quarterback. But Dak has never missed a game. Winz 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.840 has had a problem with that his whole career, and 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.840 we had a problem with him. I'll take that because 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.920 I know I'm getting sixteen games, all right? Yeah? Still, okay, 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:35.120 all right, so he's out, Um, Jamis Winston back, Sam 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:40.840 Donald back, Andy Dalton back, Marks Mariota back. I don't 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.040 think you can getting into the Yeah. The only other 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.800 guy that's down here you would even want to throw 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.840 in there would be Lamar Jackson. He's a starter, no back. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.520 All right, So we got nine guys. That's probably where 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.879 you would say that, so he would had him ten? Yeah? 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.080 Is that? Where? Is that? Where? And this is where 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.040 this was all leading? Is that what you would think 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.160 he ends up? If you were to say here's how 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.680 I think Dak ranks in the NFL, would you think 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.520 he's right there around ten? In to is a top 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.840 ten quarterback in the NFL, depending on how much the 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.080 person you're polling likes the Cowboys. Yeah, he's somewhere between 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:17.720 ninth and I'll even say sixteenth. Like, you know, there's 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.280 somebody out there that's, like I saw yesterday, somebody was like, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.119 dak is Andy Dalton. That's just who he is. That's 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.320 what the stats say is And Okay, so you might 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.200 even just drop him down as far as like fifteen 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.680 or sixteen, but he's somewhere in that range between second 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.879 tier in the middle of the past. Yeah, depending on 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.840 who you ask. There's a lot of people, you know, 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:38.320 a national that would say, you know, Roethlisberger is better. 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.679 He's won super Bowls obviously, and then they would go 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.800 wins and and maybe Stafford and some others. But are 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.840 people that are listening right now are probably like, how 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.760 could you pick him over Matt Ryan or something? You 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.440 know what I mean? They would probably have him seven, 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.000 you know, six or seven. So it's a fun game. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:53.280 That was a good game. All right, let's go and 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.080 take our first break. When we come back, I want 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:56.600 to talk about I want to narrow that down a 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.320 little bit more and talk about two guys that we've 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.600 compared him to on this show.
