1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday,

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: August Wolf. Monday was a big day in the NFL.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Huge day in the NFL. Also mildly large day for

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: your boy. Did host the Herd Radio only uh TV

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: crew is off this week because cow Herds out of town.

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun, chopped it up. Got

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: a pretty good feedback from you guys. I'm assuming I

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: had already blocked all the haters. Um. I did not

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: endear myself to Tampa Bay Bucks fans who did not

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: like my Brady take. We'll see. We'll see with Tom Brady.

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: I he did get a bit of a respite due

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: to some massive news on Monday. Brady falls out of

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: the headlines after his Saturday night podium incident. Because Jimmy

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: Garoppolo in one of the biggest show snockers that I

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: can recall this NFL off season. And there were big

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: ones right A. J Brown trade was big, Tyreek Hill

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: moving on was big. I mean, there were some big

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: moves in the NFL. But Jimmy Garoppolo essentially taking a

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: massive pay cut to stay in San Francisco, the team

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: that didn't want him, the team that would not let

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: him practice with them this month, the team that would

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: not allegedly give him a playbook. They're bringing him back.

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: He's taking a pay cut. Folks, minds are blowing across

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: the league. My mind is absolutely stunned with this. There

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: are so many different ways to look at this. I

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: know forty Niners fans are worked up. Uh the fans.

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: If you're wearing glasses that are the colors of the

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: forty Niners? What are the colors of the Niners? Like

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: red and red and white, red and crimson and white.

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know what officially the colors are the

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: forty nine. I guess maybe red and gold. I'm looking

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: at a forty nine. Red and gold has to be

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: with the forty Niners colors are if you're wearing red

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: and gold glasses. Your reaction Tuesday, you wake up today,

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: You're seeing your buddies at the water cooler at Starbucks.

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: You're pumping your fist. We've got the best quarterback duo

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: in the league. Trey Lance has a high ceiling and

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah, our backup is the best quarterback in the league.

40
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Best backup quarterback in the league and just went to

41
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl two years ago and knows the offense. Oh,

42
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: we're so set. Our defense is going to dominate. We've

43
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: got arguably the best tight end and Kittle maybe the

44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: best receiver in debo top five receiver, and debo, we've got, uh,

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the best left tackle in the game.

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Like we are set, We've got arguably one of the

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: top five play callers in the NFL. And Shanahan like,

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: how how good are we? That's if you're a Niners fan, right,

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: And and I totally get that all of it makes sense.

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Jimmy g was thirty one and fourteen as

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: a starter and now he's will be a backup. Okay,

52
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: so they do have a good quarterback situation. That being said,

53
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: And I know I'm the guy who has somewhat hyped

54
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: Tray Lance here. In the last like week or even

55
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: less than a week, I have got on board with

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, thinking, you know what, this guy's pretty he's

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. At least the potential is there for

58
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: him to be pretty damn good. Do we know if

59
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna be great? I don't think so. I don't

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: think we know we can project and say, well, Shanahan's

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: offense plus weapons, plus his build, plus his arm, like,

62
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: this guy can be something potentially great. I will start

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: the push back here if tray Lance can be so

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: great and transcendent. They saw him last year, he started

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: a couple of games. They've seen him all off season,

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: they've seen him in camp, they've seen him in preseason.

67
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Why the hell didn't they trade Jimmy Garoppolo. Well, Jason,

68
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: there were no takers, so you gotta take. You gotta

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: keep him. You can't. You can't cut him and fork

70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: over twenty mill and have him go somewhere else. Well,

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could have. Now, Jimmy G did kind

72
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: of stick it to san frame by having that shoulder surgery.

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: I tried to read up on it to see if

74
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: the forty Niners thought he should get it, but it's unclear.

75
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: Jimmy G just decided in March, I'm getting shoulder surgery.

76
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: Impossible to trade him at that point, impossible all shoulder surgery,

77
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: you could not, So then you have to wait for

78
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: at started to get hurt. Zach Wilson went down. It

79
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: wasn't bad. Nobody else went down a weird preseason. I

80
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: guess nobody's playing their quarterbacks anymore. Nobody goes down. So

81
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: it's like, well, what do we do with Jimmy g

82
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this right here. Look at what happened

83
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: with Two A Tongue of Valoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick in Miami.

84
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember they were not They liked to it,

85
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: They wanted him, he was their guy. They had offensive

86
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: coordinator issues, confidence issues to it, kept getting hurt. He

87
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: ended up getting pulled and Ryan Fitzpatrick was inserted. You

88
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: guys remember this two years ago, like it was a

89
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: crisis of confidence Miam. He's like, we gotta do good.

90
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: We gotta do good. Two is doing terrible. We gotta

91
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: pull him. He got pulled twice for fits. One of

92
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: them was a National TV game. It was I think

93
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: on a Saturday night Raiders Dolphins. I believe it was

94
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Saturday late in the season. I think maybe it was

95
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: a Thursday. I don't know, but I know you guys

96
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: remember too. It was sticking up the joint. Fits comes

97
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: in crazy, comeback, nearly pulls off the victory, and it's like, wow,

98
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: so much for their young guy. Huh. Well, I'll ask

99
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: you this, what's gonna happen if that scenario unfolds with

100
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Train Lance? Are they gonna pull him for Jimmy Garoppolo?

101
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: Because the stories are out there. Jimmy G is very

102
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: friendly with George Kittle, Deebo Samuel is very friendly with

103
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. If Lance isn't accurate. Now, the first two games,

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: I'll give him, I'll give They're gonna win those two.

105
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: After that, it gets tougher. It gets a hundred thousand

106
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: percent tougher for Trey Lance, the young guy going to Denver,

107
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: good luck at altitude against what's gonna be a juice

108
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: up Denver defense at home. So there's a scenario where Lances,

109
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: oh boy, we got a super Bowl team, we got

110
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: a great defensive. Lance is not cutting until we put

111
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: in Jimmy G. And that's where Shanahan and Lynch are

112
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: kind of hedging their bets a little bit. What we

113
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: love Lance. We're trading up for him. He's our guy.

114
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: They've announced to the fans, to the league, to the team.

115
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: He is their guy. Yet they just couldn't quit Jimmy G.

116
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: He's staying. Now, listen to this number. The salary numbers.

117
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: This is crazy. Jimmy G's based salary was twenty four

118
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: point two million dollars. He's now gonna make about a

119
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: quarter of that, a little over six million guaranteed. Why

120
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: on earth would Jimmy Garoppolo do that? Why that's insane. Now,

121
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: there are nine million dollars in incentives and he could

122
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: make somewhere in the neighborhood of sixty million bucks. But

123
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be the starter for like ten

124
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: to twelve games for that to happen. Now, that's not

125
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen, as the lance gets hurt. But none of

126
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: this makes sense. I don't. None of it makes sense.

127
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: And again the fortins fans or get I get Hey.

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: A worst case scenario is Jimmy Garoppolo comes in, fills in,

129
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: We're fine, we win the Super Bowl or we go

130
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: to the superl whatever, and then Jimmy G leaves because

131
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: that's the big selling point for Garoppolo's contract is well,

132
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: he took a massive haircut four mill guaranteed to six

133
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: huge haircut, but no trade. They can't franchise tag him.

134
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: He can do whatever he wants the next offseason. He

135
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: can go anywhere and oh, by the way, the Niners

136
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: get a comp pick for him. That's not not bad,

137
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: not a consulate, not a bad consolation price. Fox Sports

142
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: one is well. Jimmy Garoppolo was chosen in New England

143
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: to be the backup to Tom Brady. He was going

144
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: to be the air apparent. Of course Brady got jealous,

145
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: shoved him out. Tell you right now. From the looks

146
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: of it, and again it's very early. Brady ain't playing

147
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: more than this season. I mean, you guys saw the podium,

148
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: offensive lines falling apart. The dude's forty five years old.

149
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: This feels like one last hurrah for Brady. Jimmy Garoppolo

150
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: Tampa next year. How are you feeling that now? That

151
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: that that will free up a lot more cap woman.

152
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: He will go to a ready made team with Mike

153
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Evans and Godwin and they got a lot of talent

154
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: there offensive line. Hopefully by next Jo will be sorted out.

155
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: But I think this is a fascinating move. It basically

156
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: puts the Niners for me as the most interesting team

157
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: in the league. Because you guys know this, it's undeniable.

158
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: If Lance had set the world on fire like they

159
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: thought he would in the off season, you move on. Remember,

160
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had Alex Smith, who was a former number

161
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: one pick. They drafted Mahomes. Smith started the entire season.

162
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: Mahomes starts the final game, then in the playoff games,

163
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: Smith starts. They I'm pretty sure they took a big

164
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: lead and then Mariotta and the Titans came back and

165
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: beat him. That was all for Alex Smith. They had

166
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: seen Patrick Mahomes in practice all season and he was

167
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: wowing them. They knew that's our guy. Trey Lance clearly

168
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: has not wowed San Francisco. Now. I know there are

169
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: complications again, the shoulder surgery kind of throws things off

170
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Alex Smith. I'd have to look it up, but I

171
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: don't remember Alex Smith having the success success in Kansas

172
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: City that Jimmy Garoppolo had um in San Francisco. Again,

173
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: when the Niners signed Jimmy g Or they trade for him.

174
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I forget what it was. Yeah, they traded for him

175
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: from Denver. They made Jimmy Garoppolo the face of their

176
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: franchise and gave him a massive deal, humongous now I'm

177
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: looking it up now. Alex Smith had been in Case

178
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: for looks like one and two three. He had been

179
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: in there for four seasons. Then they drafted Mahomes. It's

180
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: Smith was very good. In Smith's final season in Case,

181
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: twenty six touchdowns, four thousand yards passing, which was a

182
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: career high for Alex Smith, sixties scent completions, only five picks,

183
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: career high quarterback rating, CABER, career high QBR. Alex Smith

184
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: had the season of his life, literally the best season

185
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: he's ever had, most touchdown passes, everything. They moved on

186
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: from him because they knew Pat Mahomes was great. When

187
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, you know right, it's clear the forty Niners

188
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: don't feel the same way about Trey Lance. They don't. Otherwise,

189
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you move on. You take whatever you can for Garoppolo.

190
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: They don't want to give him away to Seattle. But

191
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: you're telling me you couldn't get anything for him even

192
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: after the soldier surgery. This sets up for like a

193
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: just a weird ass locker room man. I just want

194
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: to remind you guys, publicly. They're saying all the right

195
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: things about Trey Lance. He's our guy, he's our quarterback.

196
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: We thank Jimmy G for his service. I was reading

197
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: an article where the last time Jimmy Garoppolo met the

198
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: media was back in um January after I think the

199
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: day after the playoff loss to the Rams. Garoppolo had

200
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: tears in his eyes at the podium because he he

201
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: knew it was over, his run was over. They were

202
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: handing the baton to Trey Lance, and again Jimmy G

203
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: had gotten this franchise out of an ugly place. People

204
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: seem to forget what was San Fran before Shan a

205
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: hand and Garoppolo got there. It was not Harbaugh and

206
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: Kaepernick dominating. People seem to forget the brit like the

207
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: end of the Hardball tenure was ugly. The GM really

208
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: screwed it up. The league figured out Kaepernick, the Chip

209
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: Kelly experiment. They had this goober of an offensive line coach,

210
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: Jim Tomsula, like they were grasping at Straw's. The once

211
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: proud forty nine franchise, which I will remind people had

212
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: an epic quarterback tandem, arguably the two best quarterbacks ever

213
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: to play on the same team in Steve Young and

214
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: Joe Montana, and people are online we're trying to sell

215
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: me like, oh, listen, Bill Walsh handled the Montana Young situation.

216
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear Kyle Shanahan can handle Jimmy g and

217
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: Trey Young. And I guess, did I say Trey Young

218
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. I'm sorry, I just watch some Trey Young

219
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: highlights this morning. Trey Young and Steph Curry were the

220
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: pickup game. Rico Hinz, former u C l A player.

221
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: You know he has pick up runs out here in

222
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: l A. Rico, you're not gonna hook your boy up

223
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry in the building with Tray Trey Young. You're

224
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: not gonna give me an invite. Disrespectful, only my favorite

225
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: player in the league. And you know Trey Young, who

226
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: I like a lot. Nevertheless, back to the Niners. Um, yes, so,

227
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: Steve Young and Montana were teammates for four years. They

228
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: couldn't move on from Montana to get to Young until

229
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Montana get hurt. And still it took four years. Ladies

230
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, I've seen Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy Garoppolo is no

231
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: Joe Montana. Okay, let's just let's and by the way,

232
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: Steve Young had accomplished way, way more than Trey Lance

233
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: ever has. By the time it was a quarterback controversy,

234
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: Steve Young was older. Remember you did the USFL stuff,

235
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: so that that kind of falls flat. Um. But again,

236
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: no social media, no twenty four or seven news. Um.

237
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: It was just a different era. You could you could.

238
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: Bill wash was able to manage that. I don't know

239
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: that Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch can because you know

240
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: what's gonna come up. Wait a minute, did did Kyle

241
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Shanahan really want Trey Lance? Because there were rumors he

242
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: wanted Mac Jones, and I forget it might have been

243
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi, former Patriots front office guy. He's been on

244
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: this podcast before. I worked with him briefly at F one.

245
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi, I think, was the guy who's saying that

246
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan wanted Mac Jones. Also it was Chris Simms, Yes,

247
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: that's what was Chris Simms was saying it was Mac

248
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Jones was who he wanted because Mac Jones would have

249
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: fit the offense better and mac Jones, of course wanted

250
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: to have a great rookie year. With the Patriots. Take

251
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: nothing away from what he did. I think Mac Jones

252
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of face plants a little bit here in the

253
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: year two. But again, this is about the Niners right now. Um,

254
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: and I just I don't think it's gonna be easy

255
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: for Lynch and Shanahan to navigate this situation in San Francisco.

256
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: This is gonna fester the first time Land screws up.

257
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Lands throws a pick six in the opener, let's just

258
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: say he does. I mean, they should really handle Chicago

259
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: in the opener. But I don't see how anybody can

260
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: take away anything other than this is a lack of

261
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: a vote of confidence. For Fox Sports Radio has the

266
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: we're worried, but it's not a full on vote of confidence. Again,

267
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: we saw this with Tua and Ryan Fitzpatrick in Miami

268
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: to his confidence was shattered. Then they ended up trying

269
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: to go after Deshaun Watson. Like again, Jimmy Garoppolo took

270
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: a So if you let's just play this out. If

271
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: you're Garoppolo, four Niners are gonna pay me twenty four million, right,

272
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna pay me, or they're gonna cut me, And

273
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm getting twenty four mil. Because that portion of his

274
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: contract was guaranteed. They didn't want to cut him. Why

275
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: because they'd have to pay him and he'd go somewhere

276
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: else and maybe play for peanuts and take two checks.

277
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Like okay, so we paid him and he's playing for

278
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: someone else. Got it? That happens around the league. The

279
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Browns are paying Baker Mayfield to play against them in

280
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Week one. Now, Jimmy g I could have gone somewhere else,

281
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: but again that he hasn't been with any other team

282
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: all off season, so there's no time to get up

283
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: to speed. Like you would have just thrown him in there.

284
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: He had been terrible, and where would he have gone.

285
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: Seattle literally was the only place kind of open, and

286
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: there's there's no indication that they would have taken him

287
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: this late in the game. Maybe Pete Carroll takes him,

288
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: but again, I like Seattle's playing to take more. Although

289
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: it's tough for me if I'm the coach and the

290
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: GM to go to the owner that we're good with

291
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. Yeah, but we don't. We don't need any

292
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: We're good with Gino and Drew lock as our backup.

293
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Yet like like, I mean, you're basically telling them we're

294
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: a five win team. And I do, by the way,

295
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: feel safe about that cowherd bet that I made on

296
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: a show that if the Seahawks finished above five, I'll

297
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: shave the Seahawks logo on the side of my head.

298
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: Not I'm not worried about that at all. Now, if

299
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: they go outt Garoppolo, you know, things change. But again,

300
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: I think the vote of confidence that they could have

301
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: given Lance just getting Garoppolo the hell out of town.

302
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: There wasn't really a spot for him. Just could you

303
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: have cut him and swallowed it and eating the money,

304
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: I suppose. But this move to me weeks of fear.

305
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Fear of having to pay him to play for someone else,

306
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: fear of what trade Lance may not be. Like they

307
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: really were hell bent on Garoppolo not playing at all

308
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: the season because they wouldn't give a playbook. He has

309
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: not been with the team, he's up practiced with his teammates. Folks,

310
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: I I really don't understand it. I really think they

311
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: screwed up a big, big time here San Francisco. I

312
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: just I don't understand the move. Jimmy Garoppolo will stay

313
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. I mean it's earth shattering stuff. And

314
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is thankful because now people aren't talking about him.

315
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: I will wrap up by saying, Jimmy Garoppolo playoff run

316
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: this past season against Dallas they want thanks to defense

317
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: in Dallas ineptitude. Garopolo is not great, zero touchdown passes.

318
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: He got picked hundred seventy two yards passing against Green Bay.

319
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: They won because the Packers could not execute on special teams.

320
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Garoppolo hundred and thirty one passing yards picked. They lost

321
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: to the Rams. The game I was at, really tremendous

322
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: football game. Garoppolo was fairly good, but through uh an

323
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: interception I think it was late. I'm pretty sure it

324
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: was on the fourth quarter completions. He did throw for

325
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: two thirty two yards. That was by far his best

326
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: game of the postseason and third game against the Rams.

327
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Though UM and Jimmy g did play okay in the

328
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: season finale to get them into the playoffs, beating the

329
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: Rams in overtime. UM plus yards. He was picked twice,

330
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: but like down the stretch, you could see Jimmy g

331
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: he knew like everything was weighing on him, like, oh man,

332
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the quarterback. He could tell.

333
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: It just wasn't his. It was over for him, and

334
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: you know, Lance filled in a couple of times. I

335
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: didn't think Lance looked particularly good. There was a Thursday

336
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: night game in December against the Titans where looked amazing

337
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: early and then Garoppolo just really botched it with a

338
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: couple of bad picks, and you knew he wasn't a

339
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: long term answer. We're gonna see a lot of fascinating

340
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it is gonna be like every game for

341
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: the Niners is gonna be like, oh, the same way

342
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: it was a tow as soon as he got pulled

343
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: the first time, well two picks for two in the

344
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: first half, is he gonna get benched? Is that gonna happen?

345
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna see that play out with the Niners elsewhere

346
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: around the league. The only cuts that I saw that were, um,

347
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: a big name like Sony Michelle. Looks like he got

348
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: dumped Sony Michelle. Geez, what a fall from grace. I

349
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: mean he was so good as a rookie. I think

350
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I think with the Patriots think he had over a

351
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: thousand yards UM and then you know, Patriots sold high

352
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: got out from under Sony Michelle. He was unbelievable at Georgia.

353
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: I love that guy. I think he was on that

354
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Georgia team that lost in the College Football Player or no,

355
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: that one in the College Football Playoff, great game against Oklahoma.

356
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle actually ninety one yards in year one with

357
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: the Pats, nine twelve yards in year two. But he

358
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: started to get plotting after that, had some injuries mount

359
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: and just he just did not really materialize as the

360
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: running back that everybody thought he would. He was the

361
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: first round pick and now he's been cut and he's

362
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: only what is he twenty seven years old? Like I

363
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I NFL really does stand for not

364
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: to not for long um because Sony Michelle was on

365
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: top of the world. Yes he was in that Rose

366
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: Bowl game. Then epic uh come back where Baker Mayfield

367
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: did the throat slit. Remember in the first half when

368
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: he did, they did what's it called the Philly Special.

369
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: Baker catches a touchdown pass before halftime, does the throat

370
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: slit threw up like thirty one fourteen or something Tony Michelle.

371
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: In that game, eleven carries, hundred and eighty one yards,

372
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, had a seventy five yard touchdown run, had

373
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: forty one yards receiving and a touchdown. So basically in

374
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: a national playoff game semifinal, he had two d and

375
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: twenty yards and four touchdowns all purpose. I mean, the

376
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: guy was a animal in that game. That game was

377
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: loaded with NFL talent. Nick Chubb was also there, DeAndre

378
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: Swift was there, Hollywood Brown Seedee lamb Um Andrews the

379
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: tight end in Baltimore. I mean, just a stacked in

380
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfel obviously, quarterback Jake from who was a backup

381
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: with the Giants last year. That game had so much talent.

382
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, now I've rambled um, I'm gonna do college

383
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: football gambling bets at some point this week. I will

384
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: tell you I took the seventeen and a half with Georgia.

385
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna be able to find it

386
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: much longer. I don't think they I'm sorry, I took

387
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: the seven and a half with Oregon. I don't think

388
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to find it much longer. I'm

389
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: just not as big of a believer in this Georgia

390
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: team in Week one as a lot of people. I know,

391
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: they won the Natty and they just reload with five

392
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: star guys. I just I really do think that this

393
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: Oregon team is gonna be able to put up points.

394
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: I think this is way closer than everybody thinks. So

395
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: I took seventeen and a half. I talked about this

396
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: one on the Coward Show. Cincinnati was getting seven and

397
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: a half. Could not resist at Arkansas. That line is

398
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: starting to move down, So some money coming in on

399
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: the Bearcats on the road at Arkansas UM Razorbacks Stadium.

400
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: I guess the kids are back on pass. It should

401
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: be up quite a scene. But it's a day game.

402
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: If it were a night game, no way I'm picking UM.

403
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: No way, I'm picking the Bearcats there. That being said,

404
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: on deck for Arkansas is South Carolina and Spencer Rattler

405
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: and I have a feeling they care more about a

406
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: game against an SEC team than Cincinnati. I think that

407
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: fact that factors in a little bit to my UM handicap.

408
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: But I definitely like Cincinnati in that game. Those are

409
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: the two I jumped on. I already started in apologies

410
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: in advance to USC fans. I am looking hard at

411
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: Stanford in week two. If they're getting double digits against

412
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: the Trojans, I'll just leave it at that. That's all

413
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: for today. We'll talk to you tomorrow
