Tom there, 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.240 we got a full house tonight coming up with our 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.480 producer Adam Stezinski. We got Jim Miller, our weekly guest 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.519 for a few segments, and then at the bottom of 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.320 the hour it Bears new defensive coordinator Sean Decide, Temmy, 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.080 how you doing, Buddy? Doing good? Jeff, I'm looking forward 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.600 to talking to Sean. I think it's gonna be exciting 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.800 opportunity because this is a guy that we've known for 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.920 a long time, but now he's in the pilot's seat, 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.480 so it's gonna be interesting to pick his brain a 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.600 little bit. About the different influences that we've got to 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.080 see in his career. But how he talks about the 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.240 different influences then the impact they will have on his career. Well, 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:16.720 I got taste of it earlier in the week when 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.920 his introductory news conference spoke for quite a while about 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.360 his rise as a now nine year NFL coach and 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.720 all with one organization. You know, worked his way through 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.280 the college game. We know about his teaching ability, his trust, 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.160 his nickname Doc has it carries more to it than 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.760 just his education background. That's a term of endearment that 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.039 players really respect him. And so it'll be interesting to 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.399 see hit on a couple of points. Maybe he's not 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.360 gonna talk personnel or scheme, but you know, just trying 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:45.840 to pick his head a little bit. We know Vic 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.800 Fangio the influence time is significant, right, But his background 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.720 as an educator, I think it's really an asset in 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.880 the teaching of football because you have multiple levels that 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.440 you're going to have to teach a scheme to. Where 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.600 before was kind of centric to the defensive backs in 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:07.720 his NFL career, but now when you're teaching coaches about 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.960 his scheme and how he wants his players taught. I'm 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.040 really interested to watch the impact that Sean's gonna have, 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.760 and I'm excited to see a young coach takeover in 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.160 the NFL because a lot of time we hear names 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.480 being repeated in terms of hirings, but this is a 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.200 new guy on the scene and I'm excited for him. Yeah, 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.200 he's also worked at the linebacker level, special teams coordinator 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.760 in college, and really almost an entirely new defensive staff 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.760 to work with. Will break it all down, and then 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.280 the news of the day Tommy. Another domino was following 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.800 in the quarterback world, with Carson wentz Off to the 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.520 Indianapolis coach for a third round pick this year and 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.960 a second that could turn into a one based on 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.480 playing time in twenty twenty two. The big headline here 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.400 for me is and most people are reporting the Bears 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.359 did not make an offer. Whether that's true or not 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.040 is yet to be seen, but the fact is that 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.640 there's a tight relationship with Frank Reich and this is 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.600 in his headspace, no doubt, is a more comfortable situation 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.079 for him to be within Indianapolis Colts and the guy 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.040 who coached him to what was going to be an 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.280 MVP type season in seventeen before his Aco, Right, But 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.400 if you just looked at some of the still shots 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.080 after the trade took place of he and Frank Reich 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.400 in their past, it was almost a no brainer. Look, 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:29.320 these guys have such a forged relationship already. This is 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.720 the best thing, you know, This is the best possible 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.800 team for him to go to. But what I was 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.240 saying is most of the conversation you and I have 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.200 immediately after the Super Bowl is really I, you know, 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.640 to the combine. But there's been more conversation on the 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.120 sports channels, in the news and the radio about the 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:54.440 quarterback position exclusively and specifically league wide. So rather than 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.000 us talking about Trevor Lawrence or who's gonna be the 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.400 second third quarterback picked in the draft, or who's gonna 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.360 you know, when are the linemen gonna start falling? Or 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.560 when are these linebackers gonna go? Man, it's just that 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.080 there's multiple teams. I think that I saw graft twenty 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.600 one teams will return their quarterback. The rest of them 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.080 are looking for new quarterbacks. Right. It could be more 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.160 than that too. You just don't know what's gonna happen 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.479 with Ben Roethlisberger, you know in Pittsburgh, kind of a 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.160 lukewarm or sponse yesterday from his general manager there in 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.000 Pittsburgh about a return. But you knew this was going 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.880 to happen. The dominoes have to fall. Free agency comes 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.760 before the NFL Draft, so with salary cap and setting 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.520 your course, it has to be somewhat settled at the 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.840 quarterback position unless you're totally dedicated to going into the 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.400 draft and pulling out a quarterback. That's for all the 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.240 teams looking for one. So and it is interesting in 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.360 the compensation. I know a lot of people are talking about, Wow, 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.000 that's that's all you gave up for him to get 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.159 him over there to Indianapolis. But the price tag, and 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.440 we'll talk more about this with Jim Miller, the price 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.719 tag you're bringing onto your own salary cap because of 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.080 his big deal that he signed with Philadelphia and the 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.280 cap they're gonna carry now, the dead cap space, I 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.039 believe it's a record for one player. Uh, that's that's 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.560 part of this compensation. You got to inherit some of 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.640 that salary, right. But the thing about it too is 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.680 even the teams are at the top end of the 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.960 draft it's not guaranteed they're going to draft a quarterback 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.839 because they have the assets they could go and possibly 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.440 make a play for some of the other quarterbacks that 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.760 you're you're a are being offered out there and what 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.920 they're willing to give up. And so I just think 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.120 it's going to be a really interesting NFL year through 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.560 free agency and through the combine in the draft that 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:44.040 man teams could completely change the profile that they concluded 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.040 the last season with and they're going into next season with. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.160 So it appeared the Bears drew some interest in Matthew Stafford. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.480 I didn't think that would ever happen within a division 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.760 for starters, and it was a big haul for the Lions. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:06:00.160 So that's one domino. Now this domino, gosh, now it's 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.279 going to be talked about next for the Chicago Bears 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.520 at the quarterback position that'll be now raging over the 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.920 next couple of weeks. Well, you know, you do. There's 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.800 there's guys that have untapped potential at their youth, or 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.760 there's some guys that have extreme amount of experience that 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.120 can come in and fit immediately to the plan that 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.839 you set forth for your offense. So you know, you 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.640 got a figure at what end of the spectrum are 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.719 you trying to, you know, fulfill in your quarterback position? 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.839 All right? Well, coming up at the next segment, we 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.480 got Big Jim Miller from Serious x M NFL Radio 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.440 against Sean Desai. At the bottom of the hour, we'll 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.800 talk off things NFL as it impacts the Bears league wide. 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.919 Got touch on JJ Watt asking for and receiving his 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.600 release from the Houston Texans. With that means now in 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.760 terms of other dominoes around the league, it's an interesting 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.440 start to the offseason, not that far removed from the 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.360 Super Bowl.

Jim Miller from Moving the 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.400 Chains with Pat Kerwin our guest over a few segments 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.320 teaching every week here on Bears All Access. Big Jim 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:28.400 the quarterback carouseuse spinning again to day Yeah, it's you know, 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.680 it's funny when you read some of these articles and 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.240 they're trying to make it all but look at the 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:37.760 compensation Philadelphia got. Philadelphia lost in this trade. Huge, Okay huge, 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.560 they lost this trade. This is a just tells you 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.880 that they're stripping everything down. But this is about as 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.120 bad as it gets. Not only did they trade up, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.880 they traded away five players to get once. They traded 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.000 up not once, they traded up twice to get the 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.760 number two, So they gave away five picks. There, he's 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.400 going to be the face of the franchise. They're trying 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.520 to get the deal that the Rams just traded for 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.760 Matthew Stafford. Right, they got a couple of ones and 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.520 another pick as well there. Plus they got a quarterback 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.880 in Jared Golf in that trade. Also got nowhere near 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.400 that it's a third round twenty twenty one pick and 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.120 it'll be a second round twenty twenty two. Plus they're 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:23.160 still taking a thirty three million dollar cap hit Philadelphia 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.600 is This is about as bad as it gets. Guys, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.280 people who can try and spend it all they want. 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.360 This is a pretty bad deal for Philadelphia all day long. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:37.040 And now if Carson Wentz goes to Indy and Frank 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.360 Reich is able to resurrect his career and he plays brilliant. 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.280 It's gonna look even worse for Philadelphia for making this 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.720 trade today, So just keep your eye on what happens. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.400 But that's about as bad as it gets. What happened 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.080 today good, good for Indie though, good for the Bears 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.680 and team. That's the way you look at it. But Jim, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.840 does Philadelphia now have to look immediately to go older 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.800 and more experienced than Jalen Hurts or how do they 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.479 fill the void if they believe that's the type of quarterback, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.760 that athleticism they want to go with, But there's not 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.240 too alike with more experience. So how do you think 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.720 the direction they're gonna go? Yeah, I think they're gonna 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.120 have to bring in a veteran because I mean, you 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.280 still don't even know about Jalen Hurts. He's played basically 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.720 four games. He's done some good things with how he played. 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.199 Obviously that last game everybody was concerned and probably what 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.760 led to Peterson getting shown the door when he put 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.920 in Nate Sudfeld when the game was on the line. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.280 But he said, hey, we thought Sudfeld had played well 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.560 and he deserved an opportunity and he wanted to play him. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.640 But you still don't know about Jalen Hurts. He loved 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.240 the background, He's a winner, all those things that he transfers. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.800 He wins with Lincoln Riley, and has shown flashes in 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.280 the NFL. But I don't think you can say he's 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.559 a surefire starter right now. I think you would have 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.320 to bring in a veteran to compete if you're the Philadelphiagles, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.959 because one thing about that division it's wide open. Is 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.800 any team in that division look like they're the leader 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.120 in the clubhouse. I don't think anybody could say whether 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.319 it's Dallas, the Giants, Philadelphia, or Washington are the leaders 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.640 in the clubhouse. I mean Washington won the division, then 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.120 their record wasn't even a winning record at the end 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.400 of the day. Pretty much. Yeah, yeah, Well, you gotta 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.000 find out what player the player procurement part of the year. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.719 We'll bring each of these teams and will they get 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.400 Dak Prescott signed in Dallas. That's a big bar where 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.400 the Redskins going quarterback wise. A lot to discuss, obviously 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.360 with all that, but just a real quick word on 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.840 Wentz from my perspective, because you know, we are quick 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.160 as fans and in this case, teams to hit the 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.960 dump funton, right. I mean, it's insane what's going on now, honestly, 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.280 because yes, he was the most sack quarterback in the 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.360 league last year fifty times. He was responsible for the 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.120 most turnovers. What was around him also matters, and yes, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.200 quarterbacks have to elevate everybody around them. But he's coming 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.240 off an ACL from seventeen. Do you think that changed? 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:05.760 And did he get into bad habits? Is that part 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.079 of it that they think and you played it? So 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.280 can you get coached out of some bad habits and 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.240 resurrect and lead a team that does have many weapons 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.160 and a powerful running game with a very good offensive 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.880 line and likely to go with a tackle maybe in 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.839 the first round now after keeping their first round pick. Yes, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.200 you cun coach players out of bad habits, and he's 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.719 going to a coach that has already done it. I 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.800 mean when you look at Frank Reich, he did that 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.040 with Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck he told him, hey, you 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.840 can't take the sex you're taking. You can't run down 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.000 the field and continue to take the hits. That you're taken. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.480 And in one year with Frank Reich, with Andrew Luck, 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.880 he turned at what even Frank described as a complete 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.520 one eighty about how he was getting the ball out 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.480 of his hands, he was making smarter decisions when he 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.520 started taking off at the ball, sliding, getting out of bounds, 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.480 all those type of things. Yes, you can coach those 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.760 things out of a player, and Frank Wreich knows that 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.120 as he's already done it, and he's already coached this 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.240 player as well. So they felt very good about this trade. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:11.400 And they're working relationship previously in Philadelphia. So you know, again, 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.160 we'll just see how it works out. But I'm with you. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.560 I think if you go look at Carson Wentz's numbers, 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.839 Pat and I compared kid, if you look at Cam 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.840 Newton's Andrew Luck their Pro day workouts, in their combined workouts, 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.920 Carson Wentz is right there with him. I mean, this 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.760 is a big, strong, attic guy. Shoot, he was up 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.040 for League MVP. That's how will he was playing until 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:35.160 he tours ACL. So I think Frank Field's very certain 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.199 that they can resurrect his career and get him back 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.800 playing to the level that he was So are they 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.800 going to piggyback off of the philip Rivers offense or 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.839 are they going to deconstruct that offense and introduce a 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.240 new offense because of Carson Wentz. Because I think, in 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.240 all fairness to the other guys on the offense, it's 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.440 better for them to keep the similar terminology that they've 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.280 all they've already learned throughout the philip Rivers experiment. Yeah, 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.439 Phillips is more straight line. They'll be able to do 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.680 more movement plays with Carson and no offense to Philippa. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.520 He'd kind of lost a little bit on his fastball. 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:12.280 If you look at Indianapolis, he was spraying the ball around. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.480 That's why t Y Hilton wasn't getting as many catches 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.319 as he has previously. They may want to resign t 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.319 Y Hilton now because I think they'll be able to 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.640 stretch the field more with Carson Wentz at the helm 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.719 And I think if Frank Reich will tap into that, 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.000 say hey, this is what Carson can do. He can 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.360 launch it and launch the long ball, and maybe that 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.360 becomes more effective. And think about it, up until when 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.200 Philly went to the Super Bowl, that's all they were 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.520 doing all year is launching the ball, and that's kind 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.520 of what put Nick Foles on the map. But Carson 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.040 gets hurt, and what's Nick doing. He's doing all those 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.760 launching the long ball, double move goes, and all those things. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.640 They were already doing that earlier in the year, and 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.520 why Carson was up for league MVP. So I think 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.760 you can incorporate all that stuff back into Philadelphia or 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.559 excuse me, Indianapolis's offense now is what it will be 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.760 with Carson Wentz. All right, Jim Miller, Tom, Jeff, Johnyac. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.120 Time for a break. This is Bears All Access on 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.319 Chicago Sports Radio six seventies score. We're brought to you 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:11.920 by IGS Energy. Back in a minute. Jeff Jonnyac top 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.319 there and Jim Miller with you on Bears All Access. 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.959 The Chicago Bears Network presents Inside the Bears, brought to 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.720 you by Verizon. Anthony Adams and Lawrence Greeden cover the 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.160 world of Bears football, on and off the field, every 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.480 Sunday night at ten thirty five pm on Fox thirty 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.520 two Chicago, or watch anytime at Chicago Bears dot Com 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.880 or on the Bears official app. Coming up at the 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.320 bottom of the hour, new defensive coordinator Sean Decide joins 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.880 the program. All right, Jim. Every quarterback drafted in the 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:41.240 first round from two thousand and nine to two sixteen 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.280 no longer with their original team. Yeah, we're talking twenty 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.400 two guys. Ten are already retired, not because of great 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:54.080 careers necessarily. That's stunning in and of itself. And then 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:59.040 you go further, and now you go to the situation 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.600 with the number one, one and number two picks in 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:06.920 the draft quarterbacks in twenty fifteen, Winston and Mariota, twenty sixteen, 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:13.000 Goff and Wentz twenty seventeen, Mitch de Sean. They could 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.840 be in these categories as well. I mean, I saw 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:21.680 somebody tweaked Tom and Jim this hashtag quarterbacks equal risky business. 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.920 This is not simple. I know here it's been challenging 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:30.080 obviously to find the right a combination of quarterbacks over many, many, 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:35.000 many decades. But it's not like it's an acute problem everywhere. Yeah, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.160 And it just tells you about the evaluation process, how 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.360 difficult it is, and what type of system you're gonna 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.840 put them in, and are you know what's around the 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.600 young quarterbacks? Are there coaching changes that affect a young player. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.760 There's a lot that goes into it. But I think 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.240 it does touch on the evaluation process because if you 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.080 don't have one, I think we know it's difficult to 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.720 win the NFL. Otherwise you're gonna be watching the playoffs 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.720 at home on your couch. I mean, let's be honest, right, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:05.520 But you know what though, Tommy, that's we agree. But 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.280 when you think you have one and then two years 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.360 later you don't that those are the gut punchers because 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.400 maybe you've reinvested him, Bears invested, reinvested in Jay Cutler 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.320 at that time. You know, you think one thing, and 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.480 as you say, time, you think you're beat. But this 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.880 is such a really it's a conundrum. He really is, 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.400 you know, since Jim and I and you know, you 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.440 see all these guys drafted. The reason these guys are 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.280 drafted in the first couple of picks as they do 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.280 have a poor supporting cast, and then do they ever 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.480 have a chance to stay healthy long enough or do 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.480 they surround them with a supporting cast to turn them 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.920 into the quarterbacks they were drafted to be. Then you 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.760 have a guy like Joe Burrow last year, he was 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.480 the quarterback that you drafted him to be. However, he 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.280 didn't have the supporting cast, and then he ended up 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.600 injured late in the season. How will that affect him 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.840 in this upcoming sea And so it's really a conundrum 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:06.280 these guys face when they get drafted that high. Yeah yeah, 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.680 and another ac to come back from it too, and 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.560 then you're developing him and the fruits of the labor. 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.680 The next team's going to see him, because what's happened 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.880 to Ryan Tannehill. Tennessee's getting the fruits of the labor 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.800 that Miami all the things that Tom just mentioned. They 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:24.480 weren't a good team, they change coaches, things don't go well, 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.160 they trade him to Tennessee. Lo and behold, everything comes 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.240 together for him because although all that experience that he got, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.160 and he's mentally tough now and he's ready to really 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.600 play some good football. And now all the fruits of 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.720 that labor is gone to another team. And that's happened 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.560 to a couple of guys. You know what, We'll see 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.920 what happens with these quarterbacks moving forward. You know, whether 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.159 it's you know, even guys like Teddy Bridgewater, who's now 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.840 you know, five and old. Last year in New Orleans 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.240 and then Carolina takes a shot him, or what even 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.880 will happen with Jamis Winston. He may be the guy 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:01.080 nowels too emergence. Yeah, Darnel could be another one. Well, 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:02.879 you know, I don't know. I'm gonna stick to it. 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.280 I I personally, you know, if teams are gonna give 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.400 up multiple number ones with the hope of getting somebody 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.359 or moving up in the draft, I just you know, 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.639 as you just laid out what the Browns did and 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.000 you saw, I saw there's too many names and a 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.760 lot of guys that never materialized to anything that they 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.040 analytically thought we're gonna be nice fits for the Cleveland Browns. 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:29.480 That's just one example. I mean, it's it's almost nauseating 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.960 to think. I just don't want to do that. I 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.240 just don't. You know, Well, John Dorsey think about that. 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.920 He got it right. Buffalo got it right, you know 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.800 with the Josh Allen who they chose. Obviously, you know, 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.199 Houston feels that they got it right. The player may 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.480 want out right now, and that may ultimately happen, and 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.720 that's something to keep everybody's eye on. But I would 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.080 think Dak Prescott is another guy if the Cowboys. Don't 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.360 put the tag on him. Watch the flurry for Dak Prescott. 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.680 That guy's got a winning record. He's led that team 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.879 to the playoffs, and look what they were without them. 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.159 Because if you don't have one, forget about it. So 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.280 it's going to be interesting here this offseason. Well, is 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.720 a good experiment going to be the new England Patriots 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.360 because here's a coaching staff in place with Bill Belichick 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:18.600 and an organization that has an extreme success. When we 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.600 talk about these other quarterbacks trying to be saviors of 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:26.000 miserable programs, that's not the Patriots. They were down a 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.440 little bit last year, but now they're not expected to 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.399 be down anymore because that forgiveness period is over. So 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:34.639 if they go out there and they research and they 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.240 find the quarterback that they believe is their quarterback of 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.040 the future, is that going to be an example to 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:45.080 look at of a successful organization coming back to you know, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.360 the success that it has if it finds that right quarterback. Yeah, 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.840 and they're probably one of fifteen teams that are in 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:54.280 that mix right now. Think about that half the league 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.200 has a quarterback conundrum. Half the league that are trying 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.320 to solve it, right now and we'll see how these 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.239 dominoes fall. Like I said, Dac to me is going 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.080 to be an interesting guy to watch. Do the Cowboys 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.240 want to put the second franchise tag on him or 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.080 do they work out a long term deal? And he's 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.480 coming off a injury, But I think Deck would be 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.639 Garner's serious, serious interest if he does make it to 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.600 the free agent market and that franchise tag can start 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.000 being applied just in a few days, five days from 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.560 now February twenty third, with free agency opening on March seventeenth, 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:31.400 that's certainly something in play potentially for wide receiver Allen Robinson. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.200 How do you guys feel about that situation? Start with Tommy, 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:37.159 you know, I feel bad that it's come down to this. 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.440 I really admire everything that Alan Robinson is a distribute 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.240 have showed what football means to him, how hard of 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.240 a worker he is, how he is able to recover 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.600 from injury and still be a serious competitor and contributor 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:52.920 to the Bears. But I don't think he can ever 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.359 look at it just as you're a good player, you 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:57.960 always have to put in the business side of it, 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.720 and you can ever think about that again. I like 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:04.719 Allen Robinson. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.479 but you know, I don't want to pay him as 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.040
