WEBVTT - Madden QB Ratings + Quentin Demps | Texans All Access 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.439 Welcome to everybody to a tgi F edition of Texans 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.920 All Access. I am your host, John Harris Football and 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.080 a sideline reporter, joined by the voice of the Texans, 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.120 Mark Vannimer. Mark, good afternoon. Or you're ready to talk quarterbacks? Johnny? 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.720 I'm ready to talk quarterbacks always. We always love talking quarterbacks, 0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.040 especially on my new microphone. Which does it sound deeper? 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.560 Do I sound Luke? I am your fun I need 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.200 the plans to the Death Star. Does this mic sound deeper? 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.560 I don't know. Maybe it does. It sounds pretty good. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.760 I mean in my ears it does, and then one 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:38.800 of my ears I'm deaf, so it sounds good to me. Okay, good, 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.160 I like it. Yeah. Somebody that wasn't deaf was Quinn Depps. 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.840 We'll have him later on with the where are they now? Well? Mark, 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.160 I saw us today and I immediately circled it. And 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.000 there was a tweet those put out by a guy 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.800 that I follow. The name's Charles McDonald. He covers the NFL. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.400 I'm not sure he's covered for now. He's bounced around 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.040 and I think it was him. Maybe somebody else that 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.640 tweeted something to extend I don't pay attention to Mad Ratings. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.160 But this one got me and he was talking about 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:10.960 the quarterbacks. Oh boy, and I had to one thousand 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:16.000 percent agree with him. Agree. So I threw this out 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.600 to our guys that Aaron here, Tyler Sattar, Jared huff 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.960 Video Jr. Video, guys that do a great job. And 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.600 I just threw it out there, and I said to him, 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.959 who's the number one quarterback in the league? So I'll 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.520 tell you the same question, who's the number one quarterback 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.319 in the league? Just note thinking about it, just you 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.559 got three seconds to answer, who's as quarterback in the league? 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.200 Tom Brady? Really? Have you heard of him? I had good, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.960 He's pretty good. You think he's the number one quarterback asolutely? 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.679 Because listen, who else is going to take that team 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.080 even as far as he did last year? Right? And 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.200 last year they roared back in that game against the Rams, 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.160 the playoff loss, could have, would have should have. They 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.600 didn't do it. The year before they win the Super Bowl? 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.920 Who else can do that? I'm sorry you drop Aaron 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.080 Rodgers in the middle of a West coast of Florida 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.960 with that squad in twenty twenty. I don't believe they're 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.560 winning the Super Bowl, Johnny, Okay, you've brought up a 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.919 great there are other factors then, Oh, this guy's better 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.800 mobility or he's got a stronger arm or whatever. There 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.920 are other factors to playing the position than that, and 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.400 I have multiple examples. Go ahead. I can't believe that 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.079 you actually have said Tom Brady because you must work 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.120 for Madden. Now. I don't have too much of an 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.280 issue of Tom Brady actually being the number one Rady quarterback. Okay, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:33.440 as he is his ratings and ninety seven I find 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.240 that awful little bit considering nearly every other position head 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.920 of ninety nine at that particular position. But Tom Brady 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.639 number one, number two was or is Aaron Rodgers, Aaron 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.760 Rodgers ninety six. Number three, it's either Mahomes or Josh Allen. 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.080 I'll say Mahomes. It's Mahomes, Okay, ninety five. I didn't 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.480 know this. I only know the second year quarterbacks because 0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:00.720 I heard that debate earlier. Yeah, number four, And this 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.239 is where I have a little bit of an issue, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.280 well not a little bit of issue issue. It's Josh Allen. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.679 It's not so much that it's Josh Allen. I do 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.919 think it's pretty clear across the board. The top four 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.960 quarterbacks in the NFL, however you want to slice them, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.520 are Brady Rogers, Alan Mahomes, the four quarterbacks that played 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.160 in the match golf. Those are the four best, and 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:27.720 depending on where your team is in its development, you 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.519 could take any one of those four quarterbacks. If you're, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.840 you know, a younger team, maybe you want Josh Allen, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.520 you want to have him for an extended period of time, 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.600 Maybe Patrick Mahomes at that point. If you're a team 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:41.240 running a precipice like the Colts, give the Colts Tom 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.120 Brady and see what happens, right, So you could pick 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.920 any one of those four. I think what I had 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:51.320 an issue with are the ratings those four quarterbacks. There's 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.000 no there's no team in the league that but turn 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.040 any one of those four away, other than the teams 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.400 that actually have those four players. Tom Brady is in 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.120 ninety seven, Aaron Rodgers ninety six, Patrick Mahomes and ninety 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:07.520 five Josh Allen ninety two. At ninety two, you're talking 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.840 about the ninth or tenth receiver in the league. Josh 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.000 Allen's a ninety two. So do they grade on a 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.000 curve based on every position group apparently not. Apparently not. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.000 So they're saying Josh Allen right at about the top 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.080 twenty five, maybe maybe worse, maybe top thirty to thirty 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.680 five players in the league. And I can't go there. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.160 If anything, you should inflate the value of the quarterbacks 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.400 like all the other ranging systems do, thank you. Yeah, exactly, 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:35.800 And that's why I have That's where I have an 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.400 issue with this, Josh Allen being ninety two. Like I said, 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.320 you can mix those four up in any way that 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.800 you possibly could want. Finn rock On have at it. Yeah, 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.680 but I think I would probably at this point, if 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.040 I've got to win one game tomorrow, I've still probably 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.440 taken Rogers. I think Brady would be fourth for me 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.400 at this point, even though I love Tom Brady. I 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.000 just think that Mahomes and Allen to a different level, 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.280 and you know how I feel about quarterbacks that can 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.480 move a little bit. Fifth on the list was Joe 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.760 Burrow with a ninety. Now I know for a fact 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.880 the receiver A ninety didn't even get you to the the top. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.400 They did get you at number ten. Amari Cooper was 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.400 in ninety, Joe Burrows in ninety, justin Herbert's an eight eight, 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.400 one step behind Dak Prescott in eighty nine, Russell Wilson 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.080 eighty seven, same with Lamar Jackson, and Matthew Stafford rounds 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.080 it out at eighty five. I don't know who does 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.440 these ratings. I really don't. I have no idea who's 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.560 doing these ratings, but I don't know. I probably would 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.479 come up with a similar ten, but I don't know 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.880 that I could put them a in this order and 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.240 be with those particular rankings. Well, whoever does these ratings 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.360 is doing a terrific job at getting people to talk 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.200 about them on the radio, yes, and getting people to 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.279 complain about them. Social media was going nuts today with 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.039 the second year quarterback ratings in Houston. We'll get to 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.159 that in a moment, But hang on a second. I 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.599 didn't catch this. Justin Herbert is behind Dak Prescott. Yes, 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.880 in what universe? Right do we do this? I have 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.360 no idea, And not to take anything away from Dak. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.680 I like Dak Prescott. Yeah, come on, Justin Herbert behind 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.480 Dak Prescott. Kiss. Let's do a little draft here, Let's 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.240 do a little win one game next week here? In 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.279 any which way you want to debate this Herbert's coming 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.719 in ahead of Prescott. Allen has rated way too low. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.040 And what were some of the other ones you had 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.359 in there? Joe Burrows in a ninety I mean you 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.160 can make your case that Josh, that Josh Allen Joe 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.520 Burrow are both ninety five plus comparatively to one of 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.040 the other rankings that we've seen. And maybe it's well, 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.440 he's already done it for a couple of years. I 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.279 don't know Josh Allen's going in year five. It's crazy 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.640 as that sounds into year five. Is it a lifetime 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.160 Achievement Award? Is that why Brady is the number one quarterback? 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.560 I don't think so. I don't think it's quite that, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.280 but I just don't get it. I mean, Matt staffords 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:01.640 an eighty five, eighty five they gave to Shawn eighty four, 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.520 Kyler Murray and eighty also, I'm sorry, Kyler Murray is 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.240 also eighty four, so they got those two on the 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.800 same line. Derek Carr and Matt Ryan are the same 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:14.240 at eighty three. Matt Ryan's eighty one, Kirk Cousins eighty 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.040 and then we can get to the second year quarterbacks. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:21.640 Mac Jones at seventy eight. He is the my matth 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.880 is correct to see the highest rated twenty twenty one quarterback. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.600 He is, Yes, he is, he is. He is at 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.000 seventy eight and Davis Mills came in at seventy one. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:34.760 He is the lowest ranked of the second year quarterbacks. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.320 Three year disagree, Well, obviously I disagree with that. You 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.320 knew I was gonna go nuts about that. That's why 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.640 I just put it on a t FO. You go, yeah, 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.880 they just look at where you were drafted and what's 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:50.160 the buzz factor of the quarterback? Now Mills has a 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.400 buzz factor that's going up a little bit because I 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.640 see more national people, whether they're pundits who I respect 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.920 the opinion of guys who watch a lot of tape 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.320 or guy who might watch some tape and they're not 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.320 necessarily football people, but they're commentators like the Pete Priscos 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.600 of the world right coming around the Mills. They've been 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.080 watching because they weren't paying that close attention during the 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.160 season unless their team that they cover or whatever they 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.240 happen to be at a game that Mills is playing in. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.520 But now they're watching Mills saying, you know what, he's 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.480 better than people think. And I think that's what people 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.240 are coming around to, except for the people at Madden 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.640 who have him rated as the lowest second year quarterback 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.800 on the board. How can you put fields ahead of 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:37.600 him in this game? Right? And if the logic is well, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.960 all around play all different aspects, because I know they 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.200 rate speed and everything and throwing power and all these 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.120 different things. I get that. I don't know how Brady 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:48.920 would be number one and all that because I think 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.640 Brady's the number one quarterback because Johnny he elevates the 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.560 play of his team. And that's why open saying you 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.760 put Aaron Rodgers on the twenty twenty Buccaneers. I don't 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.559 think they're winning the super Bowl. I think they're doing well, 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.160 but I don't think they're winning the super Bowl. And 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.760 I'll use the Peyton Manning winning the Super Bowl in 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:09.520 the twenty fifteen season has evidence here. Peyton Manning not 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.959 what he was. He's on his last legs, the tank 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.000 is almost all the way on e but he finds 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.320 a way to engineer a playoff run and Super Bowl 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.319 victory for Lebron Because I know their defense is going 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.920 nuts that year, so you gotta give them credit for that, 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.560 but Kubiak also able to play call well enough, but 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.880 Manning checking into the right things. But I think he 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.000 elevates the play of the team. I think your defense 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.000 plays better when Brady is your quarterback. I think your 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.440 defense plays better when Peyton Manning as your quarterback. It 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.240 just happens that way. I believe in these things because 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.480 they elevate the whole culture of what's going on between 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.680 the lines, no matter who's out there. Special teams too, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.720 I think all boats rise with that tide. And Brady 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.960 is the number one quarterback in the league now, Miles 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.720 is the number one quarterback in the second year group. Look, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.040 he went two and nine as a starter, and I 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.120 think people are looking at that and holding it against him. 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.079 I get it. Quarterback rating as a starter, it's not everything. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.960 We sometimes over inflate that stat, but it is a 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.560 factor when you're evaluating quarterbacks. However, with Mills, I do 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.920 think you have to look deeply look at the way 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.640 the team was constructed, especially early on. He was thrust 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.400 into action in week two, started in week three, wasn't ready, 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.720 but when he came back, he played better, and I 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.160 think that's what the maddened people should be looking at 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.080 where is he at right now? As we sit going 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:28.280 into year two. You're projecting on fields. You're definitely projecting 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.920 on Trey Lance if you put him ahead of Mills. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.400 I don't agree with what they're doing, but hey, they're 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.959 getting us to talk about them and they're publicizing the game. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.800 So hats off to the Madden folks. You mentioned some 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:43.920 of the media members that have discussed Mills and it. Yeah, 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.160 it hit a couple of nights ago. Wait, what's today, Yeah, 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.559 a couple of nights ago. Pete Prisco. You mentioned Pete Prisco. Yeah, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.240 he had this to say some twitter. He put this 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.680 a few nights ago. The more I watched Davis Mills 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:59.400 on tape, the more I like just going back to 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.360 rewatch some stuff before camp start, and I love how 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.040 he plays. The Texans have a steel at quarterback. I 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.040 liked him before the draft, and I like him more now. 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.680 Pete Prisco's not the end all be all when it 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.200 comes to quarterback ratings. In fact, Pete and I we 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:16.800 were at the combine. You were there at Pete and 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.080 I were talking about which quarterbacks do you like? And 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:20.960 there were a couple that I liked that he didn't 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.839 and vice versa, and we were probably right on more 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600 than we were wrong, but not one hundred percent across 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.680 the board. But when you hear a guy like Pete 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.440 who does watch a lot of game tape, he goes 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.560 through game I mean, he watches a lot of games. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:39.160 Even as a national NFL writer, he watches everybody. But 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:40.840 the fact that he kind of gives a little bit 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.320 of a stamp of approval to Davis that I found 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.480 out to be a minor victory in some sense, because 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.080 Pete can be kind of ornery about certain things. Yeah, 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:54.320 I love him, but he me ornery about certain things out. Yeah, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.920 But the fact that he came out and said about Davis, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.520 I like what he's done, given him kind of the 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.160 thumbs up heading into year two. I thought that was 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.680 kind of cool to see that approval, if you will, 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.040 from a guy like Pete who watches a lot of 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.360 quarterbacks throughout the league. I like Pete And for those 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.680 who don't know, he's North Florida based yea when I 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.400 was there, does not hand out compliments too easily, including 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.920 anything to do with the Jaguars other than trying to 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.439 get Tony Basselli and succeeding into the Hall of Fame 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.200 just a part of it. Yeah, but that's what Pete does. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:31.080 He is a critic. He rips everybody. For him to 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.760 say that about Mills, that the Texans have a steel 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.240 at quarterback is strong again, not that he's the ultimate authority, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.360 because the ultimate authority is winning, right, the ultimate authority 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.400 is winning, is performing well between the lines, and we're 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.920 all gonna get to see it together starting September eleventh. Okay, wait, STU, 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.520 fun game stut Okay, Quarterback Edition kind of based on 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.800 the Madden ratings like this. Okay, here's the overall game. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.719 You gotta win one game. Okay, how much time do 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.800 you have to practice? You have to win one game 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.880 with the Philadelphia Eagles talent, all right, So you've got 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.360 pretty eas receiver corps. Right, you got a j Brown 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.120 out there now with Sith you know, Miles Sanders in 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.079 the backfield. Offensive line is Jason Kelsey coming back. It's 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.240 a pretty good unit. Defensively, you've built it pretty well. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.160 On the other side, I think I don't. I would 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.440 say that the Eagles are kind of the poor Man's Colts, 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:24.920 do you think? So it's kind of the way I 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.600 look at him, Sirianni's coaching them. I mean, they're kind 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.440 of the poor man's colts. They're not quite at that level, 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.800 but they're kind of built similarly. So here we go. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.680 You gotta pick. So you're getting the Eagles talent, right, 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.520 take Jalen Hurts out. Sorry, Jalen, you're from Houston. We'd 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.559 love you or gonna take you out for just the 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.079 time being. And you have to win one game with 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.559 the Philadelphi Eagles talent. And I give you Brady or Rodgers. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.480 How much time do I have to practice? I'll give 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.800 you two weeks like super Bowl, super Bowl time, Brady, Okay, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.319 Mahomes or Alan? Oh, this is a tough one. I 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:05.120 know it's a good one. I'll go Alan. I'm leaning 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.559 more and more towards Josh Allen the more the more 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.160 I think about the bill. Here's my thinking. I only 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.079 have two weeks to get ready. I have faith in 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.839 Brady putting together some sort of great game plan and 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.720 executing it well enough. You know, Rogers, Look, you could 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.720 do a lot worse than Rogers in that situation. But 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.240 with Alan or Mahomes, I kind of want Alan to 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.640 run the show because he can make more plays with 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.240 his legs. I know Mahomes makes a lot of plays 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.160 with the legs, In fact, a lot more than people realize. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.960 Mahomes will go on the run and get yard to 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.800 get key first downs. Might not be spectacular, like oh 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.120 my gosh, fifty yards, but twelve yards? Whoop? Line them 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.560 up again, baby, I still got the ball. But Josh 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.320 Allen can kill you with his legs. And in short order, 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.720 I think I would pick Josh Allen. Josh Allen have 0:14:54.800 --> 0:15:01.080 Philly offense? Who man? Okay, Joe Burrow or Dak Prescott 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.320 filled that the Eagles talent gott to win one game, 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:09.200 either Joe Burrow or Dak Prescott. Wait, Brandon Brooks retired, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.800 right did he not? How's that old line gonna do? Okay? 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.640 Burrow got to the Super Bowl with that Bengals old 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.640 line and got sacked up bazillion times and still made 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.760 it to the big Game. I liked Joe Burrow over 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.080 Dak Prescott. And look, we talk about Dak. We actually, 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.760 even though he's a cowboy, we kind of like Dad. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.320 I like that guy. I know you meant him at 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.480 the Senior Bowl. We've told that story a lot at 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:39.320 the Hurricane Harvey refuge. That was the star to us. 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.680 They put us up for a few days. I'm not 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.600 saying Dak Prescott was serving ice cream or anything, but 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.720 you know, we saw him around the facility. You sort 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.320 of felt like, ma, are you getting a little flavor 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.560 of Dallas here? And by the way, I love those 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.960 blue and silver M and m's they had in the 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.760 dining area there. Those are nice in the press box too, 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.720 don't they. Oh man, those are the whole They had 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.680 him in that dining room, and I thought this is 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.760 good because we don't get the fro yo anymore in 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.640 the cafeteria here. And I was digging those eminem's. Anyway, 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.640 we like Dak, but I'm picking Borrow Joe Okay, Philadelphiagles talent, 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:17.560 A J. Brown, Vante Smith, Miles Sanders, very talented, Dallas 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.880 Goddard tight end. And you have to win one game 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:26.680 with either Justin Herbert or Russell Wilson. Well you might 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.800 think I'm going Herbert here, but I'm going Russell Wilson. 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:30.880 I'm gonna go with the crafty veteran who can still 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.520 make plays with his legs and I think elevates the 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.920 talent around him. I think the Seahawks have been talent 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.720 deprived and he's gotten that team into the playoffs when 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.720 they had no business getting into the playoffs. I know 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.600 they didn't do it this past season, but we saw 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.200 him here at NRG Stadium, and I still thought enough 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.080 of Russell Wilson as a quarterback. Now with the Broncos, 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.000 and we've talked about this team, they won what seven 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.520 games last year? Russell Wilson's gonna be interesting with the Broncos. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.600 This could be a real tough out. That's the Week 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.960 two game. Are we going that? Week two? Week two? 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.840 And the very Week three three back to back to 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.520 roadies in September. Look, the Bears are not a daunting 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.920 team on paper, but Road wrote with this young team, man, 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.280 and you open up against the layup, it's the Cults. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.040 My gosh, you're only nine and thirty one all time 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.320 against them. Gotta get that one. Gotta get the opener, Johnny, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.840 I mean, sell my soul for that one. Football. Worst 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:25.720 case you gotta walk out of the you can't walk 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:27.560 out of their own three. I mean worst case, you 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:28.840 can't walk out of their own three. I mean yeah, 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.760 worst case. You have to want to at least one 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:33.520 of those three wins, and you'd love to be able 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.880 to get one on the road. And the one you want, 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.920 obviously is the Colts. If you're gonna get just one, 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.320 you want the division win. But you gotta get one 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:41.880 of those, one of those three. But I like having 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.520 Denver in Chicago September September. I don't think people understand. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.000 I mean, obviously we try with the teams so we 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.720 get it. Back to back Roadie is a lot harder 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.560 than it looks. Oh yeah, it is, specially coming back 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.800 from Denver. It's going against the grain time zone, later 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.280 game in the afternoon, all of it. Look the Texas, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.080 I'll get into their scheduling week to week later, but 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.680 they're gonna handle that week very um deliberately to get 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.280 them some rest and be ready for the Bears game 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.360 the following Sunday. So who are you taking Russell, Wilson 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.719 or Herbert in that match? I'm taking Herbert. You're taking Herbert. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:22.919 I really like Russell, but against Justin Herbert, I'm taking Herbert, 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:29.640 Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford. Who are you taking to take 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.040 the Philadelphia Eagles. It's just a team that we picked 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.000 with that offensive talent, solid defense, you go win one 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.119 big game two weeks to prepare. You're taking Lamar or 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.159 you're taking Matthew staffor I'm taking Lamar. Come on, I'm 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:46.320 running that jail and hurts offense. And it's looking good, 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.080 my friend. I know, look good. Okay, and look Stafford. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.760 I know we've talked about him a lot. I go 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.560 back and forth with him. He wants super Bowl. Congratulations. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.280 If Tart hangs onto the ball in the NFC Champion 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:05.720 OH three is rewritten very different narratives on the West 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.359 Coast with the Rams and the forty nine ers at 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.080 the quarterback position. Well, we'll get to that in a 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.360 little bit. Okay, Okay, you gotta win one game, Deshaan 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:20.000 or Kyler the Seawan or well, I that's a good one. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.439 I'm picking to Sean. If I have to win one 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.600 game with that talent over Kyler Murray, for sure, you 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.719 could make it more interesting. You know what makes it 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.760 interesting to Seawan or Lamar Jackson because now you have 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.159 different styles, but they do something similarly, and they can 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.679 both make plays with their legs. Watson's a better thrower, 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.080 but Jackson can win a lot of games, and he 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:43.800 throws better than you think. I'm going by what Madden, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.800 so I'm essentially going and you order the Madden put 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.560 That's how I'm giving them to you. Yeah, and Lamar 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.919 DeShawn Lamar would be a very good comparison. But their separation, 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.520 So Deshaun was eleven, Kyler was twelve. So that's why 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.879 I'm asking I'm asking you in in order. What was 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.600 a number for Watson and rating is eighty four, both 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.679 of them, both of them tied for a live right, 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.000 So this is just wrong to have Watson and Murray 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.879 on the same line. Come on, you do watch this 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.359 sport Madden. Even more wrong is the next one. Okay, 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.320 this one's tough, all right? With the Philadelphi Eagles talent 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.320 to win one game, two weeks to prepare, would you 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:28.400 rather have either Derek Carr or Ryan Tannehill. Oh, I'm 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:31.879 I know this one. This one to me is Derek 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.560 Derek Carr. But the fact that they both have the 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:40.119 same rating tied for UH eleven twelve thirteen time for thirteen. 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:43.440 Matt Ryan have the same rating two he's lower. No, 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.480 there's gonna be an it's gonna be another one. There's 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.920 a theme with those two. I'm taking the next two. Yeah, 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:51.440 take it there, Car. Okay, the next two, you're taken 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:56.960 either Matt Ryan or Kirk Cousins. With the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.640 I'll take Ryan. I would too, I'll take I've got 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.800
