  Speaker 1: Okay, did you did you do the little was that?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Is that the one where they had the pigs the swimming.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: We did not do that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's one of the zombers, but there's apparently one
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in a Nassau.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Sure, what about you, you're the one that's all over
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: the place.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: No, man, Look, I just uh I had to get surgery.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So that's didn't bring my travel plans. But I did
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: just come back from Liberia, you know, hit Ghana early on.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Love Ghana so much I doubled back for second Africa trip.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I think the next one. Uh me and me and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Nikki are going to like try and dip into Japan.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I saw something. She something happened where
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they alls. Maybe mother in law couldn't couldn't come watch
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the kids, and so she had to stay back.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And you know, I was like, man, I gotta go
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to Ghana by myself. Crazy. Over a thirteen years headed
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: into fourteen years, it's been. I mean again, it's been.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It's been a blessing. But is there a way you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: prepare or how does that change over the years where
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, when you started off at year one versus
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: going into year fourteen, is that preparation changed for you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: at all?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It definitely has, And I think you know, especially when
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you get into the season, you obviously have seen so
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: much football, you know how certain teams are going to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: play you, so you can spend time on little details
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: rather than the big picture of it all.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: As you know, you get into your thirteen fourteen whatever
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it is, and you're not having to think as much.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You're just able to react and play and know what's coming.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: The preparation from an end season standpoint, and then offseason,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody's got the got their different way of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: doing things. But I feel like I've got a good
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: routine of everything that I do.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Having us here, let's just talk about it. I talked
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with Roman and Peanut Tillman earlier and they, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they challenged me on our draft class, and.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: You know, I was like, what did they challenge you with?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Our draft class is the greatest ever.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I just I was like, it's the best, We're the best.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Just look at the first round.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Which which is crazy because we can bring up second, third, fourth,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But it seems like every draft class is is sort
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of heavily regarded by their first class. Right, They're just like,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: all right, the first class. You look at the first
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: round and you're gonna be like, all right, that's your
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: draft class, which is crazy because there was guys like you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: There was guys like justin Houston, there's Richard Sherman. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just look at the first round. I don't know, out
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of what thirty two pigs there had been, I'm looking
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: at what fifteen Pro bowlers? It's crazy hard to miss.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: It's crazy hard to miss.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The significant progress on how to draft the draft class?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what and Pro bowlers?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And there there's gonna be arguably a lot of Hall
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of famers in that right too.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm just so.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I mean again, I guess if you say best draft
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: class ever, it's that's subjective. Everybody's got an opinion, but everybody,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's I think the numbers aren't gonna lie.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: On this one. That's what I'm saying. You should just
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: trust trust the numbers. That happened. You know, there was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton number one. Uh, then we go Von Miller,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Marcel Darius. Then it gets even better, aj Aj You
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: guys came together. That's a hell of a draft class.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You drafted Andy Dalton and AJ Green and put them together.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So that's a great connection. Uh. Then from there you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: know Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Alden Smith, and then you
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: know the quarterbacks of the first round. After that it
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: was J Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Okay, fine,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: uh but then you have Tyrone Smith, J. J. Watt,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Nick Fairley. Nick Fairley was a dog for something, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Robert Quinn.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of hundred guys in this j Yeah, J. J.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Watt, Robert Quinn, myself, Ryan Kerrigan stopped at like what
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: nine nineties, ninety four and a half. I'm like, come on,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just get two hundred. Finish it. But you know there
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: was there's a tackle Nate Solder, what a couple of
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: championships with ye with the Patriots. You know we had
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I know you weren't there. We had Prince of Mukamira.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come to the come to the Saint.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I was not there, but I've been around Prince Prince
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the great guy.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Great guy. But just talk about that first draft like
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: there was, there was excellence, and then we're still in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the top twenty. Then there was you know, me at
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: twenty four, mark Ingram twenty eight, Mohammad Wilgerson that you know,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was that twenty thirty and then Cam Hayward Pro Bowlers.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this provo is all over. That all over that
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: drafts all.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Over And then you talk about again, second, third, fourth
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: round guys like you again justin Houston, Richard Sherman. There
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was guys that were just making names for themselves from
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: our draft class. I'm I'm just going to continue and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: stay we're the best draft cleft to ever.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: In the amount of times that we talked about this
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: when we were teammates a couple of years ago twenty
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: eleven best draft class, Boom dam.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep saying it. I'm hope that everybody
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: hears me. So I'm just gonna do like if you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: if there was a hypothetical draft, do over right, give
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: me your accomplishments and your performances. Do you slide into
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that first round? Where do you think you'd be selected?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I mean I would think that I would be the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: second quarterback taken. I think Cam still goes number one overall.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I mean just I mean, look what he was able
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to do and in his time and when he was
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: at the height of his career, I mean, he was
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: one of the most one of the more exciting players
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in the league for sure, And so I would assume
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that I would probably be the second quarterback taken.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But you take Blaina, Blaine Gabbert or no Jake Locker
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: So but I'm not mad about what happened.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: If I could go in the second round instead of
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the first round and have aj Green go in the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: first round and that be my guy all day, I'm
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: taking where I went.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeahere do you go like a seven thousand yard seasons
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: in a row eight thousand something crazy something ridiculous crazy.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You're out there just red rifling that thing, just wheeling
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and dealing. What do you think is the most significant
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: change that's happened in this you know, games evolution from
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: when you started, when we used to mall quarterbacks and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I have to worry about, you know, the rules implied
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to where we are at now now we're all wearing
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Jimmy's at practice.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the style of play has also changed
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: because it was a very much run first league when
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: we first came in the league. And now obviously it's
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: all about the past game, all about the quarterback, all
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: about trying to score.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Points and all that kind of stuff.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And even that has changed because now you can throw
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: over the middle and not get reprimanded.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: It's used to be able.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: To your rookieyear you threw over the middle, you had
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: people coming down heel.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, the player safety stuff. It makes it
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: hard on somebody that's playing defense. You know where you
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: can hit the quarterback, where you can hit a receiver.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Is it in the head, is it in the shoulder?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Is it it's it's tough to be defender these days,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it's it's hard to play. But I mean, I I
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: understand the argument if we want to protect guys, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, how do you Your natural
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: instincts are going to take over.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And no doubt if I'm if I'm coming downhill, do
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you think I'm really thinking, No, you're not my head.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Let's go across the bow it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I have to make sure that's going to come into
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: this whole hip drop hip drop tackle things.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I now. Yeah, until they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: made it a thing, and now it's.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Are you're in the middle of making a tackle you're
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: going to think I can't do that and let go.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Don't let me swilve all my hips. In fact, let
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: me let him go so he can gain more yards.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm all for fifteen yards. Let's keep it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Let's keep it going.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: First down sucks for you can also move me on
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: down the field. That hurts bro.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Now that you're over at Carolina and you've you've gone
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: through a few teams, uh one, do you have a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: favorite franchise. I'm gonna say this. I'm just gonna say, Okay,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you answer that. And then two,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you know when you when you went to Charlotte, you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: before they drafted Bryce Young, I was like, all right,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he went from starter in New Orleans two starter Charlotte
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and then they drafted Bryce Young, and you know the reins
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: were given. How is your relationship between you and him?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You know, you were excellent for us and then became
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: our starter and took over. Does that is that sort
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of you know, I guess it. You can't mirror Charlotte
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: or what is what is the expectations? Then?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Well, you know when I left New Orleans, I obviously
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: got to start for it's fourteen games or something like that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, I felt like I played pretty well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And for me going into that that free agency that year,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you know, there wasn't uh, there wasn't a ton of
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: opportunity for me to go and to be the day
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: one starter. I got to Carolina and knowing they had
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the first overall pick, you know what's going to happen there,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: regardless of how good I was playing in the off
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: season and the OTAs and all that kind of stuff,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: And in training camp it's the number one overall pick.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: He's going to play, and so.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I knew that going in, so it made it easier,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: like mentally going into it and saying, Okay, regardless of
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: what you do, you still prove yourself. From day one,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I walked in and said, like, you know, I'm going
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to show you what I can do. And you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I felt good about what I was able to do
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: this past year and just being on the team and
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: to help Bryce and to help him grow. Obviously, it
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: was a year of he had to handle a lot
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of adversity. There was a lot of things that were
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: kind of stacked against him that he had to try
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: to overcome and had to handle. And he's never had
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a season like that in his life, from high school
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to college, being in a Heisman Trophy winner and what
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: he was able to do with Alabama to and then
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: get into the league and have to handle that. But
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I think what we've been able to do this offseason
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and to try to bring in the right pieces and everything,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I think we're trying to help set him up to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: have a more successful season than obviously we had last year.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's gonna be easy to do.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: But when we play Saints, it's two wins on the
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: schedule for us.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, was there a moment or throw or a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: game from last season that you can point to say
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that like Bryce is going to be okay and figure
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: There was a game we played against the Packers. We
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: did not end up winning the game, but you could
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: tell he kind of took over in the game and
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: was like everything was flowing. He was he was playing
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: on time, playing in rhythm, making big players, getting out
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of the pocket, finding guys down the field, and it
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: was a game like, okay, this is what this is like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: shows what he can be if we kind of get
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: everything around him built built the way it needs to.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: And so that was a game and even though like
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I wanted everything just to win that game, to felt like, okay, hey,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you've got to feel that moment of you were feel
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: like you're taking over the game and you found a
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: way to win. We obviously didn't win, but it was
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a game that felt like, Okay, this is definitely something
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: you can build.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: On, okay, right, and building block, especially for a young quarterback,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is key. Confidence is key. Not that you know it's.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Year one, it's your year one, you know, but.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: As a number one overall pick, you know how bright
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that spotlight was.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, for sure, and I think especially with the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: success of some of the other quarterbacks in that in
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that draft class too. Yeah CJ. I mean, he had
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: an unbelievable year. But the best thing for you, as
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you know, is experience to be out there. If you're not.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: If you're not out there, you're not getting that experience
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and you're not.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: That trial through fire is real because then then you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: really figure out that mental spot too, like you figure
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: out if you're a dog and that that's like able
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to weather the storm or do you sort of like
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: tuck the tail, like I can't do this right? Like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you could shine bright whenever you're having immediate success, but
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: are you still shining as brightly like when you're not
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: for sure in being in that role? Does does that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: change how you approach how you take care of your
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: body at all, mentally and or physically, well.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Physically, This is the best I've ever felt because you're
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: not taking any hit. You know, I got one. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: got one game this year and uh, you know, I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: felt the little sore and felt like I was part
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of it. Then after that my body was feeling great
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and the best I felt going into an off season.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: But I think it allows you time to focus on
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: some other things too, you know, your body being one
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of them. You know, making sure I probably spent more
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: time in the weight room and training room and stuff,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: just because you, I mean, the toll You're not having
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: to to do all the extra stuff that you know
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the starter has to do.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, I feel like I'm in I'm in
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: a great place.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Right now, okay, mentally meaning that I'm not ready to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: go whenever that that I figured.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: You say, you all walked in into the off season
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: feeling the best you've ever felt. That probably bodes well
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: just in case your number is called.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: It is to you what my hill is now is tennis.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Ye.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, I wasn't expecting.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I sort of I should have should have expected.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: You should have you knew that that was going on.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: JJ was getting your no no out there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Get my wife Nikki out there and starting to play.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Now She's like, babe, what are we going to play? Yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: we're not. I was like, my body hurts. Actually, I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: looking forward to pick a ball that's gonna be mine.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Well, the good the good thing is tennis translates so
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: well to playing quarterback with all the different movements that
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: you do. And so I've been all in and uh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: that's been my office game changer.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: How much longer do you want to play?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: How much longer do you want to play? Again?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: The conversations that we had in the conversation sitting in
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the locker room waiting for this, Yeah, you know, I
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: want to go as long as it keeps making sense
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: for me and my family and my body feels great.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, I can keep going. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: think it'd be fun to to touch forty years old.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, so you're you're my hero.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: We'll see thirty six right now, be thirty seven in October,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: so only a couple more years. But we'll see if,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: as you know, we get to this thing and we
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: evaluate after each season and see if we want to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: keep going. But I'm still loving it. I still enjoy
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the game, still still love all the stuff that goes
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: into it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And so and that's why we're here at there, we
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: are at the broadcast workshop. What are you looking forward
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to this week?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I think there's so many different avenues and different you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: realms of the media, and we as players see it
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: from one side.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Now you obviously different. You've got your.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Whole cool graphic up here with off the Yeah yeah, this.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Off the Edge podcast and and all the different things.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: But you get to see the different side of the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: media and and kind of get to experience all the
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: different things rather be from calling a game to doing podcasts,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to being in studio and all the all the different things.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm just here to learn from the people that
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: are going to be presenting to us, kind of get
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: some of their knowledge and and hopefully, you know, see
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: what if this is something that I want to pursue
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: moving forward, And you know, I think it's it's definitely
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a great opportunity that the NFL puts this thing on
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: that we get a chance to come learn from the
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: everybody here and involved.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: See if you want to pursue. So you see yourself
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in the space, like how active do you see? Are
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you going to like Pat McAfee, like build out your
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: own studio in Charlotte and just make the media come
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to you, or are you going to you know, do
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: like you know these these quarterbacks do and have the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: deal done years in advance and then just.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Go hey, we'll see I'm here. So that's step one, right, right.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Step. Step one is showing up. Ye can't can't, can't
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: get a blessing if without ever stepping into the church.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: You know, So I understand, gotta gotta step in and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: see what makes the most sense. I look forward to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that just because, like people don't know how fun you are.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like I feel like they
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: know any Dalton the quarterback.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I always have our lit I was talking out here
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and with one of these guys, I'm saying, I feel
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: like I've been very vanilla in my interviews, you.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Know how a lot of people do.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: It's like you ask the question and I'm going to answer,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to answer your question, but I'm
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: just going to say what I want to say and
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: kind of move on from there. And so this is
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a good opportunity to kind of get to show a
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: little bit of personality.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Let the red hair flair.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: The hair is flowing, all right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Final question. Whenever they talk about quarterbacks, right, they talk
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: about they may never talk about like the throw percentage.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: They never talk about like, hey, these are the wife
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: shoes day through in his career, they talk about winning.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: At this point, should winning be a part of a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: quarterback stat.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it should because at the end
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: of the day, it's all about winning. The business is,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: you know, that's what it's all about.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Winning can look a lot different based off of what
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: team you're on, who you have around you, and all
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Losses can look a lot different
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: based off who you know, what team you're on, who
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you have around you, all that nobody cares about.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Like how you didn't have any receivers or throw to,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you know, like for whatever it is, quarterbacks get judged
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: quickly and like, oh they won two games last year,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: three games last year, ten games last year. They get
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: judge asap just off of you know, whatever whatever was given.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: To I mean, I think the people that really know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: we're going to go and look and see, Okay, well
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: why right, you know, like the average fan doesn't care
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: about your average fan is going on online and looking
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: at stats.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Looking looking up the fantasy points that they.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: See the fantasy points and all that kind of stuff.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And but I think that's what makes guys special. People
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: are just gonna talk about Tom because of what he
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: was able to do win seven Super Bowls, playing ten,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Like for a while there it was our whole career
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: he was playing in the super Bowl, like every year
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: he was in super Bowl, super Bowl, super Bowl and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: shooting what Patrick's been able to do at the start
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: of his career.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I mean it's like, what.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Has been four out of seven super Bowls the seven
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: years you've been here, four of them?
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, it's one, so don't we all?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think that's what makes the good
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: ones great now you can you know, again, based off
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: your team, there's been some quarterbacks that have made it
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: to the super Bowl and haven't maybe not the one.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Some have won super Bowls that they weren't the ones that.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Was definitely worth the driving driving force. You'd say the
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: team one.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: The team ones. Yeah, but uh, at the end of
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the day, that's what you're measured by. So that's all
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: it matters.
• 20:36
