The big german at the helm there with 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.400 his sidekick is Trusty Robin to his batman Dylan, who 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.120 wants Scott us breakfast. Now he's doing graphics for us. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.040 You move up quickly here on the Dan Patrick Show. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.200 Let me see. We're also part of the Fox Sports 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.240 Radio lineup. Three hundred and sixty two radio affiliates around 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:04.240 the country. NBA pushback in state to reopen practice facilities yesterday. 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.160 They were looking for May first now they're going to 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.920 look for May eighth. Here. This is what I don't 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:13.319 want to hear and don't want to see. The Commissioner, 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.720 Adam Silver said this a couple of weeks ago. I'm 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.880 not going to set arbitrary dates for us to return 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.520 because what it does is it provides false hope. Also, 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.400 as a citizen, you think, Wow, the NBA's coming back. 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.800 Maybe we've gotten through the worst of this pandemic. I 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.440 think it gives us false hope there. We all want 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.960 the NBA to come back. I just get nervous when 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.920 we say, you know what, we're gonna start college football 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.880 on time. We don't know that we're gonna have the 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.480 Olympics next July. We don't know that. It's nice to 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.360 dream about it. But these people who are in these positions, 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.160 we tend to think they have more information than us, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.360 and then you start to realize maybe they don't. So 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.080 May eighth right now, And it's a lot for the 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.360 league to figure out. And you got states who have 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.640 different rules. Competitive balances an issue if one state says, hey, 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.320 you can come back and another state says no, you can't. 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.720 Like the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks. They 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.239 would be at a decided disadvantage here. You're going to 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.040 limit four players in the facility at once. Players have 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.280 to be twelve feet apart while on the court. That 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.240 sounds like me when I was playing defense in high school. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.200 The NBA's not alone. Other leagues are going to face 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.560 the same issues as they try to get back to business, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.800 and for better for worse, sports will be a viable 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.760 barometer of really how we're doing as a country. We 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.480 keep saying we need sports to kickstart the economy. To 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.040 kickstart the economy with sports, you have fans going to 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.960 sporting events. We're not kickstarting an economy here, and I 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.160 hope that we're not hinging all of our bets the 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.560 future on sports coming back that will kickstart our economy. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.960 It's not easy. It's a chance for the leagues to 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.000 shine by making smart and safe decisions here. Golf will 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.320 come back. Golf is going to be the first sport 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.919 to come back. And I understand that you can do that. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.600 You could have robotic cameras, you have you know, social 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.880 distancing already, you know you're gonna walk separately. Uh, you know, 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.640 is there a way that you don't have to touch 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.600 the pin when the ball goes in the hall, Like 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.720 there's things that they still have to figure out here, 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.000 But golf could still come back, and I think you 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.800 could have events. You just won't have a gallery there. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.760 You're gonna come back for a football You're not going 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.959 to come back for football and have fans come back. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.400 Students won't be back, but we're going to expect football 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.160 players to come back. As far as the NFL goes, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.960 they're already contingency plans of what they plan on doing. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.240 You know, are you going to move back the Super 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.600 Bowl Probably a couple of weeks, and you're gonna probably 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.080 start this season a little bit later. Like these are 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.440 just thoughts, these are these are things being discussed right now. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.440 And I take you back to whatever whatever it was 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.120 a month ago when I said that they're looking at 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.080 a twelve game schedule in the NFL, like that might 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.720 be best case scenario. You might look at it as 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.080 worst case scenario, but that might be best case scenario 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.680 where you have a twelve game schedule. You know, the 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.640 Sports Business Journal had a report the detailed contingency plans 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.839 possibly starting the NFL in October, pushing the Super Bowl 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.799 back to late February. I was told that they wanted 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.400 to do the Super Bowl on President's Day weekend because 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.839 then that gave you that Monday off, so you actually 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.720 had a holiday for people with the super Bowl. So 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.360 that might not be a crazy thing. You might eliminate 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.360 the buye weeks here, there would be no Pro Bowl, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.920 but nobody would notice. But the NFL is a big story. 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.080 And if they get to that point where they start 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.160 making their contingency plans, the other leagues will follow. Jeff 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.680 PASSINEU I have great respect for works for the mothership. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.520 He said, you know, according to sources, we're having baseball 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.640 in twenty twenty. Okay, I don't know how we're having 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.360 it because I can't say, hey, let's use all these 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:01.680 tests for our athletes. But do people who really need 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.000 these tests? Are they able to get those? You just 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.960 can't sit there and go, hey, we get tested every 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.320 single day we go in. Okay, people who are still 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.400 needing test. That's not a good look, not a good 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.279 look at all. Are we going to come up with 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.680 a vaccine? I can't imagine fans going back without a vaccine. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.760 And they say the vaccine, according to the medical community, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:28.400 is twelve to eighteen months out. That's why when we go, hey, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:32.839 everything's returning to normal. There is no normal anymore. This 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.160 is different, and how we adapt to this is really important. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.640 What we expect. It's like the draft. We adapted to it, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.599 we accepted it. How we go to sporting events, where 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.880 we sit at sporting events. When we come back from 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:52.240 sporting events, it's going to be different. It's not going 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.360 to be the same and may never be the same. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.960 But that's why I think patience is really important. But 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.880 when I see doctor and a quote fans may not 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.520 be in stadiums until well into twenty twenty one. We 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.480 can hope for this. We can say we're America. We 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.080 get through this. We got to get through the pandemic first, 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.840 and then we get through too. Hey, now we can 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.080 go out and enjoy things that we took for granted, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.920 like going to a sporting event. We all need it. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.480 The economy, the country, we need it. We understand that. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.400 But you can't push up this time frame. And it's 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.000 dangerous when we do it, because I think it gives 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:37.520 false security, false hope, and a false sense of invincibility. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.120 This program brought to you by Legal Zoom They made 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.480 it easy to set up in the right estate plan 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.480 without leaving your home. Take care of your family today 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.919 the right estate Plan at legal zoom dot com. Not 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.280 to get heavy to start out, but that was what 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.120 was on my mind when I started to read this 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.120 with the NBA, and I applauded Commissioner Adam Silver when 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.920 a month ago he said I'm not going to give 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.280 you time frames, and I said, great, that's really smart. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.160 Look at all the time frames that we've blown through, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.799 Like we ran the stop sign. We didn't even didn't 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:12.400 even stop. We didn't pause because we keep thinking we're America, 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.000 we'll get this done. We of course we're not going 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.080 to stop playing sports. There's other things that we've stopped 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:24.600 doing aside from stop playing sports. And that's where if 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.600 we'd have the patience to say are we safe? All 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.280 it takes is one person, one athlete, and here we 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.280 go again. Imagine the NBA comes back, they got all 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:40.160 these safety guidelines in place. One guy that's positive. Then 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.760 you got a Rudy Gobert situation again, shut it all down. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.880 Baseball trying to come back. We're gonna quarantine you. Hey, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.960 you got to stay in this city for four months. 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.520 You got to stay in that city. You're gonna stay 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.360 in Florida for that amount of time. I mean, it's 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:02.000 it's crazy, really is. Mike Trout said, Look, my wife's pregnant. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.160 I'm going to be self quarantined. I can't even go 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.440 for the birth of my first child. There's a lot 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.920 of things we're trying to think, and we're doing it 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.400 in real time. We're doing it in front of people, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.720 whether it's on the radio or on TV. We're discussing 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:21.080 what if hypotheticals. I get it, but it's dangerous when 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.200 you have an arbitrary time frame because then we think, okay, 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.160 basketball is coming back. Wait May eighth, So let's say 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.440 we give them a month. So June eighth, we're probably 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:35.640 playing basketball, right, I would say probably not if you 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.960 get basketball, are you going to do basketball? Where we 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.520 do a march madness like they're all kinds of proposals 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.600 on the table. In fact, everything's on the table, all 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.640 of these leagues, everything's on the table. And we'll talk 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.719 to Jeff passon the ESPN Baseball Insider coming up in 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.360 about twenty five minutes, just to get his thoughts on 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.440 how is baseball going to pull this off. Golf will 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.080 come back before any other sport does, and that's going 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.280 to be the first week in June. But you can 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.440 practice social distancing when you're playing golf. It's you and 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.520 your caddy and you don't have to have anybody else 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.160 out there. I get that, you know. I was told 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.120 by somebody who covers tennis. He said, hey, I know 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.400 you brought up tennis that you could have social distancing. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.679 What about the tennis balls? If you're holding onto it, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.200 then your opponent holds onto it like there's there's things 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.160 that you don't even think of because I thought, well, hey, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:29.800 I'm on my side of the net, you're on your 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.760 side of the net. We don't even have a ball 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.760 boy out there, he said, but you're still going to 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.680 have You're going to be touching the tennis balls, and 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.560 so were your opponent. I said, I didn't think of that. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.679 So every time we go, I got an idea, here's 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.200 my solution. And then you realize there's gonna be potholes 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.120 in every one of these I plead with these leagues, 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:55.040 these commissioners, patients, really patience. All right, mcleum and what 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.600 kind of poll question do you have Wow, I have 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.320 a bunch of light whole questions. Chet's go after that. Yeah, 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.079 you can lighten it up a little bit here. Well, 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.840 let's talk about Cam Newton, if that's okay. The released 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.840 Vegas odds on where he might go. Which team of 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.360 these in the odds would you go to if you 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.520 were Cam Newton? I'll give you the Patriots, the Jaguars, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.959 the Steelers, the Broncos, the Bears, the Raiders, and the Redskins. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:25.440 I would look at the Patriots first and foremost, because 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.319 if I'm Cam, I'm going in to compete for a 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.920 starting job. He's not a backup quarterback. Jameis Winston needs 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.080 to be a backup quarterback. I just don't think Cam's 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.760 ego would allow him to be a great backup quarterback. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.920 And by that I mean is he all in and 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.960 helping the starting quarterback? Would he go to Jacksonville and 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.839 say Gardner Minshew, I'm right here for you to make 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.400 you better. I just don't see him. And Jacksonville would 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.360 be another place that I would have him go, because 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.520 he might if you let him compete for the starting job. Pittsburgh, 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:08.280 no Bronchos, no Raiders, no. See. I think the Redskins 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.320 are gonna give Duwayne Haskins one more year, and if 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.199 they're one of the worst teams, then maybe Justin Fields 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.959 is going to be the guy they draft. That's just 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.400 a feeling I have with that. If you go to 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.679 the Redskins with Ron Rivera, then you have to let 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.400 Cam compete for the job. And I can't imagine if 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.240 he's healthy that Cam would let Dwayne Haskins beat him out. 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.120 I would start with the Patriots because of the upside. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.880 You might be playing in a super Bowl and you 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.080 might have a chance to win that starting job Jacksonville 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.959 if they give you a chance to compete with Gardner Minshew. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.040 The Steelers, no Bronchos are set on their quarterback. The 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:50.080 Bears got Folds as well with Trubisky. That's a little 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.920 bit of a mess. The Raiders with Mariota and Carr. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.840 You know, you go in there, that's a mess. The Redskins, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.400 you could go in as long as you get that 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.360 commitment from Ron Rivera to say, hey, Cam, we're gonna 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.360 let you compete for the job, because the other places 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.800 he would go in and they would say your job 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.960 is a backup quarterback there. Yeah, Paul I was going 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.319 to throw out the Redskins, but then that may make 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.720 the least sense for the Redskins. They probably can't compete 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.520 in this division. Even with Cam Newton, they would probably be, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.360 you know, at best, like an eight and eight team. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.840 And if you stick with Dwayne Haskins, you find out 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.760 what he is and if he's terrible, you get the 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.920 number one pick in the draft next year and all assault. Yeah, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.920 I think that that would be the approach I would 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.200 have that Ron Rivera is going to want his quarterback 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.920 unless he goes man, I'm all in on Dwayne Haskins. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.679 I don't know what that conversation was like when they said, Hey, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.720 Daniel Snyder talking to Ron Rivera, you want to be 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.240 our coach. Hey, I'm not sold on the quarterback that 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.079 you the owner hand picked for your team to take 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.479 in the draft. I'm gonna guess he's gonna go, Hey, 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.040 can we give Duayne another year and let me see 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.480 if we're gonna make progress and then we can make 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.360 that decision. Because if they have the second worst record 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:02.360 in football, which is a real possibility, then are you 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.240 on the clock for a quarterback. You're not going to 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.680 get the best quarterback in the draft because it feels 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.400 like Jacksonville is going to be in that place. But 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.840 Cam's gonna get signed by somebody. I just don't know 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.720 if he if he's going to go in and say 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.320 I'll be a backup quarterback. Yeah, McLevin. What about a 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.400 situation like Pittsburgh where Ben is thirty eight and then 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.280 Cam could sit a year, get healthier and then take 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.280 over like kind of like Jamis might do in in 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.880 New Orleans. I thought Pittsburgh was gonna take a quarterback. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.600 I thought they were gonna like Jalen Hurts was going 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.520 to be a quarterback that they would have taken. And 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.400 maybe they would have, you know, the Eagles. It's now 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.920 reported that the Eagles said, hey, we missed on Russell Wilson. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.280 We don't want to miss on another quarterback like that. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.160 That's why they took Jalen Hurts. Whether that's true or not. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.319 Inn't it amazing how many teams we're gonna take Russell Wilson. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.960 But I always say, you had your chance. You went 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.920 through a couple of rounds and you had your chance. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.720 Like everybody. Yeah, we hey, we knew we were hoping 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.160 to get him, like Dak Prescott. You know, we had 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.400 a high grade on Dak press You had your chance 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:18.720 and everybody had their chance with that. Yeah, McLevin, Well, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.240 people ripped. The Seahawks were saying their geniuses. They did 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.880 take him in the third round, so they passed on 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.880 him twice too. You know, Russell, Well, I know you 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.760 just have these gms you go. You know, I was 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.040 thinking we were going to you know, I was told 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.040 that we couldn't. Yeah, it's it feels like it's a 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.960 little revisionist history there. Yeah, you can go back to 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.840 the twenty twelve draft. Leading up to it, Russell Wilson 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.560 was considered a high end backup. They're looking at him 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.400 as a really heady player, great scrambler, an improviser, a 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.040 guy who led two programs to you know, pretty good heights. 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.920 He was not considered a possible starter. You could go 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:58.040 through everyone's draft profile. I know, it's funny how that works, 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:02.440 where you'd go, really, everybody knew this after the fact, 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.400 you know, we're gonna have this with this draft here, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:09.400 somebody's gonna say, hey, I told you, Jordan Love great 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.720 pick by the Packard. Now it won't be me because 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:15.080 I'm already on record as saying no, not a good 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.440 pick by the Packers. Yeah, seton. I remember at the 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.560 time thinking, man, I just hope Russell gets a chance. Well, 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.520 we liked him because we had him on the show. Yeah, 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.960 right exactly, And that was I didn't have any crystal 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.600 ball where I go Russell Wilson's gonna be a great 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.080 pro like Kirk Cousins. I thought, all right, you know, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.560 we like him, maybe you'll get a chance. But I 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.280 never was like, you gotta take Russell Wilson. He's a 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.120 leader and Kirk Cousins he's going to be a starter 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.640 in the end of it. We were I felt terrible 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.000 for KIRKD. Cousins when he got drafted by the Redskins 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.680 because I came in on that Monday and I go, 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.920 oh my god, I got drafted by the Redskins. When 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.800 they took RG three, He's never gonna play and Russell 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.240 is in the same boat. Because they just spent a 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.440 boatload of money on Matt Flynn. You thought, oh, he's 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.600 coming into a backup for Matt Flynn, the new direction 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.160 of the franchise. Yeah, McClellan, I remember you took us 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.880 to the Big ten title game where Kirk Cousins and 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.040 Russell played each other and they were both throwing fifty 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.600 yard bombs left and right. I'm like, wait, these guys, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.760 our first round quarterbacks, Why are they throwing fifty yard 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.600 touchdowns every play? That was a great game, great performance 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.760 out of both of those guys. But you know, we 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.760 tend to root for guys that we have on when 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.120 they're in college and then you follow them in the NFL. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.000 But we had no idea. You know, we're right there 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.840 with everybody else. But you start to hear this revisionist history, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.920 and we'll probably hear that with Jalen Hurts. Somebody's gonna 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.400 say what a great pick, or that wasn't a great pick, 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.560 or it could be somebody taken later in the draft 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.600 where you know Jake from Yeah, you know we were 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:45.600 gonna take him in the sixth round. Yeah you know 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.760 we thought he'd fall right too. Yeah, okay, right, I 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.640 hear you. All right, We're gonna settle on a poll 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.680 question there, mclevn. Yeah, I'm gonna put up that Cam 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.040 Newton poll which team should sign him? I mean, I 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.840 think there's a fair question. If you were Cam, where 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.920 would you go but I don't know that he has 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:00.760 all the choices. I want to put up which team 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.720 should sign him with the top six Vegas odds, because 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.960 this is really as a starter, and the Vegas odds 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:12.280 have the Patriots number one? Yeah, and who's number two? Jackson, 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.359 want to have it in front of me. I think 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:20.120 the Jags are number two? Yeah, Jags number two. Then Steelers, Broncos, Bears, Raels, Redskins, Well, Steelers, Yeah, yeah, 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.640 like you said, they need another quarterback in that death chart. Yeah, 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:29.639 but he's he's not a He's not Duck Devlin, like, 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:34.480 he's not Mason Rudolph. This is Cam Newton. Here is 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.600 that the problem? He's gonna be better than half the 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.400 starters he goes into. If he's healthy, he's way better 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.359 than a lot of these guys. But don't you want 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:45.280 somebody who If I'm bringing you in and you are 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.720 better than my starter, then you've made my team better. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.160 You don't go God, I hope he's not better than 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.920 Gardner Minshew. I'd mean, look at the Bears with Trubisky. 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.720 You can't possibly have Cam Newton backing up Mitchell Trubisky 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.880 doesn't make sense. But you got Nick Foles. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.080 not bringing him in. Now, if you didn't have Nick 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.320 Foles and you brought in Cam, Cam could win that job. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.000 The Bears want to see Mitchell Trubisky one more year 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.800 and then they're going to make a decision. Now the 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.080 fans have already made up their mind. But but there's 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.800 a couple of quarterbacks here. Gardner Minshew gets one more chance. 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.639 You know, this year, I think Baker Mayfield is on 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.040 the clock in Cleveland because with their draft, with that talent, 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.800 I don't know how great Stefanski is going to be 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.919 as a head coach. But Baker Mayfield running out of 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.000 excuses here. The Cleveland Browns have talent and should should 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.120 be a playoff team, and you know, so you're gonna 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:43.720 get that. Sam Darnold is this maybe his year? You 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.119 get one more year after this before you go. I 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:50.800 don't know if he's our franchise quarterback. Here. Mariota and Winston, 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.159 you know, they got their chance. They proved that they 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:57.159 weren't starting quarterbacks. Now they might get better, learn and 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.000 come back and having Ryan Tannehill research. But that's the 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.840 way the quarterbacking position is. I'm gonna take you can 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.960 you start. Can I get that rookie contract. If so, great, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.280 now we build our team. If not, I got a 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.399 two year window, maybe three at the most. And then 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.080 you say, all right, you're not our future. Now we 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.520 got a draft another quarterback. Yeah, point, you were going 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.680 to talk about that twenty twelve draft. If you look 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.280 at the career passing yardage for the two twelve draft 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.119 of quarterbacks taken, it's really fascinating. Russell Wilson is by 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:30.160 far number one, Then it's Cousins, then it's Tannehill, then 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:35.119 Luck who's done. Nick Foles is fifth in yardage for 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.000 his career and he's got a super Bowl ring, an MVP. 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.159 Robert Griffin, who is a star, is sixth, in Osweiler seventh. 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.080 That's a fascinating draft, but it just goes to show 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.880 you it's an inexact science when you take that, when 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.960 you draft that position you got. You got fourth round 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.760 picks there, third round picks there, a number one overall. 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.760 Nick Foles was a third RG three, first round link. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.720 It's it's really who you get with your offensive coordinator, 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.920 the talent around you. It's not just the quarterback himself. 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.520 All right, we'll take a break we'll come back. We'll 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.960 talk a little bit more about the Bulls documentary and 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.679 when Michael Jordan decided that he was going to do 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:21.760 the documentary. The day that he decided to do the 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:28.880 documentary just a coincidence or calculated by Michael. Twenty one 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:32.160 after the hour, Thank you boy, This is the Dan 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.200 Patrick Show.

We'll talk to him about 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.560 what is the latest plan and how it works the 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.399 pist At least some of the Marquis players feel like 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:07.480 they're on a apology tour. Isaiah Thomas is Bill Lane Beer. 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.639 Bill Lane Beer is not apologizing for anything, and I 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:16.480 love that Isaiah for some reason is apologizing for how 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.760 he treated Michael Jordan and uh, you know in the 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.600 Chicago Bulls.
