• 1:02
  Speaker 3: on the Raisin Kanes studio. Jake, Elandra and Tata all
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: here with you. Or earlier we were talking about Patrick Mahomes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: He didn't have a lot of weapons and he's always
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: been able to do it on his own.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: He's always been able to create.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Now he's coming off an LCL and an ACL injury,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: so it's going to be a new.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Challenge for him as well.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And it had us thinking to start talking quarterbacks and
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: heading into this twenty twenty sixth season, we wanted to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: give you a list of top five quarterbacks, and of
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: course we waited until Flynn was gone because we don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: care about his list.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: What's he know about quarterback play. We want to give
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: you our own list.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: And so this isn't what you did five years ago,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: This isn't what you're going to do maybe five years
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: from now. This is heading into the twenty twenty six
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: season top five quarterbacks. So that's important to remember because
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: there's quarterbacks out there a lot Aaron Rodgers that five
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: years ago, right, it was awesome. He's in Green Bay
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people were wondering, is Jordan I've
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: ever gonna play like? So it's not that conversation. It's
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: not what Jackson Dark can be five years from now. Cambore,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck. It's heading into this season, Tata. I know
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you're You've been ready to go since we asked the question.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: We know that, Uh, let's go. We'll go around the room.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We'll go five, four, three, all the way down to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: number one. So your number five quarterback on your top
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: five quarterbacks heading into the twenty twenty sixth season.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is gonna make some people mad.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: But you said, take away the last couple of years,
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: take away the couple of years in the future. What
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: you think they're going to do this year, Jake, I'm
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: rolling with Jared Goff number five, man, I mean last year, Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: they took a little bit of a step back as
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: a team. They would break it in a first year
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: offensive coordinator Dan Campbell took over Frank ragnow retired like
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: late July from center. You had to replace your starting
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: center who had been a stal Ward. That's going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: mess up the offense a little bit. Gibbs is great, He's.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Got ada for half the year.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Right, and if he's back fully healthy that should help.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I mean Jamison Williams and I'm annrow Saint Brown's kind
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: of an underrated one two punch at receiver in the NFL,
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: so I'm gonna go him. I really wanted to go
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson here. It's just there is so much new
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: around Lamar for this particular season. I just want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: see what it looks like, what Jesse Mentor looks like
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: as a head coach. It was a toss up, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: I think I I trust the familiarity with the Lions
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: a little bit more than the Ravens, So I'm gonna
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: go Jared Golf.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: All right, Alandra, number five on your list.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: I also thought about putting Lamar Jackson there, but again
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: with him having a new coach, unsure what that offense
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: is gonna look like now, Lamar is still Lamar Jackson,
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: so I think he just barely missed my list, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: I put him at five because I wanted to put
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: him in the top five, but I also don't want
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: to put this person too high. I'm gonna go with
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Caleb Williams.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: And I know my guy Matt would back me up
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: on this.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: One right there on the edge of your mind.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So I'm gonna go with Caleb Williams based off
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: going into the twenty twenty six season.
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: You said, don't look at the past whatever.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but going into the season, Ben Johnson unlocked something
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: in Caleb Williams that we didn't see year one. So
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: I think that with another year under him, you did
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: some work in the draft. I think Roma Dunes is
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: gonna be really good. I think if we're looking for
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: somebody to prove themselves, it's gonna have to be him. Obviously,
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: Luther Burdens really good too, So I think that with
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: them the second year with Ben Johnson, I'm gonna go
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: with Caleb Williams at five.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I like that when he was probably like seven. Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I mean he was right there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: I had golf Lamar Caleb Aul bad one for that spot.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: I just I love Caleb. I just want to see
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: a little bit more of six to eight yard throws.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: He could make the wild players more than anybody. That's
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: the only thing that held me back. His talent's incredible.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited for the Bears offense this year be.
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: Awesome and like cal guys to watch too.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: So he was on the All Meadhead team for two years.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: He went down and was banged up a little bit
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: with that at stepped up also did.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was awesome.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: He helped my fantasy team shutout team.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: They got good tight ends, they got good receivers, their
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: offensive lines better.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good call.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: I mean he has good arm talent too, like Matt
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: talks about all the time.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: So I think he backed me up on this one.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, alone, no doubt. And like I said, like
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: he was right there. He was right there on the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: verge for me, and him and Lamar were the hardest
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to keep out. Same but I did go Jared Golf
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: at five as well.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Now I'm not like I don't want to look back
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: at what they did in the past to say like
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: they're going to do it again, but if they continue
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to do it and leading into this season. Top five
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: passing yards over the last three seasons, Jared Golf is
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: number one by thirteen hundred yards, He's number one by
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: thirteen hundred yards. He's got thirteen seven hundred and sixty eight.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford's at twelve four three four.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: I told you I got into an argument with someone
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: on social media because that's what I do. And uh,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: he was actually on the OTV Saints page.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: So go check that one out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, forty four hundred yards four years in a row
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: since he's been in Detroit, sixty eight percent completion percentage
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: one hundred and forty nine touchdowns to just forty seven interceptions.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: Forty seven interceptions over five years is impressive.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: He also he throws.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Over the last three seasons, he's number one in touchdown passes.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He's at one oh one over the last three seasons.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: He's number two in passer rating, only behind Lamar Jackson.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: So a lot of people are going to be surprised
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: by that. Jared Goff has been elite over the last
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: three years. He comes in at number five on my list.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go to number four.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I'm still going to go Patrick Mahomes. If anybody's are
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: in the benefit of the doubt, for me, it is him,
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: just because we have seen him do it in the past.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be tough for him this year.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: I think this is the biggest test for Mahomes. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: it wasn't great last year, it wasn't great a year ago.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: But the guy has three Super Bowls. He's played in
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: five Super Bowls already. Like I know, I said this
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: about Lamar a little bit of there's a lot of
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: new Homes still has Andy Reid. There's still a little
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: bit of familiarity. I get the Kelsey's older, but at
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: least they're familiar with each other. I will put him
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: at four. I mean it's it's a little bit lower
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: than I'm sure a lot of people would still put him,
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: But I do have to put him in the top five.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Just it's Patrick Mahomes. I mean, the guys won three
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Super Bowls. So I am going to keep him in.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: My top five, all right, Elanja number four.
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: Okay, So I really also wanted to hit, like leave
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Mahomes off my top five because we don't know what
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: he's going to be coming off the injury. And then,
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: as we've mentioned, the wide receiver room's nothing to write
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: home about. Travis Kelsey is thirty six years old, I believe.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: So he also didn't have the best season last season,
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: so I don't know. But like Taylor's said, I don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: think I can leave him off just because he's Patrick Mahomes.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: And I don't know who I would put there instead
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: of him, Maybe Justin Herbert, but I still don't think
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: he's like top four, maybe fifth. But yeah, I'm gonna
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: have to put Patrick Mahomes there at four.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: And I get Jake's exercise about not looking in the past.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: I have to do with Patrick Mahomes. I mean, he's
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: he's won so many games, at least a little bit
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: like he still belongs in the top five because he's
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: still really good.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: I was gonna rage bait everybody and put Dak Prescott there.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Look, but.
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: Qbr Rady last season.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: I'm the only person with me.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't think the people listening would blow their
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: freaking lids if I said that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Well, true, because it's the Cowboys that was.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: So my number four is Joe Burrow. When Joe's fully healthy.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: We know what Joe can be, but the reason he's
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: not is because he hasn't been fully healthy. I think
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: in the last fifty one games he's played in thirty
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: five miss sixteen, So that's going to be a big
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: portion of why he's down this far on the list.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Because when you look at what Joe did in twenty
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: twenty four in seventeen games, he almost threw for five
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: thousand yards and forty three touchdowns, completed seventy one percent
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: of his passes. That's what Joe can be when he's healthy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: If he was healthy, he'd probably be number two on
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: this list. But just because of the injury stuff, I'm
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: going to keep him at number four.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I hope he stays healthy. Healthy, Joe Burrow.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Gives the Bengals a big chance to go win the
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: North and make a run in the playoffs. So I've
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: got him at number four, and I'll just give number
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: three because y'all gave him at number four.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes he's.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Still the best thrower of the football. He can throw
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: it at angles that nobody else can. He can escape.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: He's not even the super athletic guy. He's some way,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: somehow finds a way. His receiver room's not great. Travis
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Kelsey is a year older. He did get Kenneth Walker.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: It's gonna take some pressure off of him. He's got
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Andy Reid still though, And this is this is because
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: of the talent that we've seen him have. That's because
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: we've said that he's not gonna be able to get
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it done with the receiver room before, and he has.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: So I'll tip my captain Patrick Mahomes. I've got him
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: at three.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: We're just opposite here. I'm going Burrow at number three
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: for everything you just said. Look when when the offensive
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: line could keep Joe Burrow upright and he plays a
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: full season, He's one of the most talented quarterbacks in
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: the league.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I love his receiving core.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: Chase Brown is a really underrated running back that's gonna
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: help in that running game. He stepped up big from
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: year one to year two last year. I expect a
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: similar jump this year. They say they're investing in the
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: O line. If the defense can be decent and help
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: them win.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Some games, maybe we need money on the defense.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: Right, Maybe we could see playoff Burrow again. But yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm right there with you. I think you're
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: splitting hairs with him and Mahomes. I just like I
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: like Jamar and t Higgins. Is kind of what put
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Burrow over the top for me. Over Mahomes. But yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: I got bur with three.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: To go different, just so I'm not having the same
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: exactly whatever.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna, yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: Gonna, I'm gonna switch up two and three.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Then, so I was gonna have Joe at three, but
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna put Matt Stafford there and then I'll put
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: Joe at two.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, So you got Stafford three, Joe at two, yeah, okay.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: And I know that he's injury prone, but if I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: giving Patrick Mahomes a pass on his injury, I'll give
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: it to Joe as well. I mean, I think he's
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: just a great pure pass the reason. Yeah, I mean
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: like he's just when he's on, he's on. And I
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: think that whenever he is healthy, and he has like
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: a good old line and weapons to help him out,
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: which Jamar, is that anti Higgins.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, we all know.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: What Joe Burrow is capable of, and he had the
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: comments earlier this month about the Bengals reminding him of
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: the twenty nineteen LSU team. So I'm gonna have the
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: confidence in Joe Burrow that he has in himself. I'll
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: put him at Matt Stafford at three, just because I
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: guess I'll the argument for Stafford.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: H I guess whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa he takes
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: like I think Stafford sprout young lad all right number
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: two for youdja shock some people. Matthew Stafford number two, Okay,
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: raining NFL MVP. He was awesome a year ago. I
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: was expecting him to slow down by now, and he
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: really hasn't. And then you look at the weapons around him.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Puka Nakula top three receiver.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Right now in the NFL.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Let me and you could argue he's maybe number one
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: coming off of the year he had a year ago.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Then on the other side, you got Davante Adams, who
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: led the NFL in touchdown catches. On the other side
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: of Pukah, you got Kyron Williams and Blake Korhum. In
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: the backfield, you got a good o line in front
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: of you. We know the defense is going to step up.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: They're going to win a lot of games this year.
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: I think Stafford's gonna have another great year. So I
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: got him at two.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I've got Josh Allen at number two. Josh Allen is
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: a unicorn. Josh Allen does probably more with less than
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: anybody in the NFL. His leading receiver I think was
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: forty eighth last year in receiving.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Here here was.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: The leading receiver. They add DJ Moore, who was fiftieth,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I believe. So you add something, but it's still not
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: top level. Now he's got a good tight end room,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: he's got the leading rusher in the NFL.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: That helps.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: But Josh Allen can do more with less, I think
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: than anybody else in the National Football League. He is
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: so impressive. He is again, he is a unicorn. Nobody
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: else like him. So I went Josh Allen number two,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to assume that that's going to be
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: probably both number ones.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: On the area. So my number one is actually Shadoor Sanders,
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: pro bowler. He has his number retired at Colorado, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: mean with the Browns. He has a great opportunity there.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: So my number one is Shadoor Sanders.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: How could it not be right?
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: I mean not be but no, it mind's Josh Allen.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he does more with less than anybody I've ever seen.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: No, I think you know, we were just talking about
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: the weapons around Mahomes and the lack thereof.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen's proved that he can do it. Man I mean,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: It's basically him at James Cook just reckoned everybody else
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: in the league.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: And you know, we always talk about.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Some of these great duel threat quarterbacks, right like Lamar
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: gets brought up a lot.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Lamar is great.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Josh Allen has already set the rushing touchdown record for
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: quarterbacks in an NFL career. Josh Allen has seventy nine
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: rushing touchdowns over eight years.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: The guy doesn't just do it through the air. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: then another knock on him.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Is, oh, well, he's he's really bad in the playoffs
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: against the Chiefs.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: He's really not. Like, Okay, he hasn't beat him.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: But here's what Josh Allen has done against the Kansas
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: City Chiefs in four playoff games. One thousand yards one
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: thousand and thirty nine yards, nine touchdowns, just one interception,
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: and has completed sixty five percent of his back It
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: ain't his fault thing beating the Kansas City Chiefs in
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: the playoffs. Josh Allen's been awesome. He struggled a little
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: bit against that Broncos team last year. I understand that
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: he was still able to take that game into overtime.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Fortunately they did not win that game. But this notion
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: of Josh Allen's not great in the playoffs because you
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: can't get over the Chiefs is really just not true.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's been awesome in those games.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I mean I trust Josh Allen to go
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: out there when the situation's not great around him and
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: get it done more than anybody in the league.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: So yeah, he's my number one as well.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: And you got a great offensive mine and Joe Brady
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: coming you do to be the head coach.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: So well, it's not coming.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: He's there elevated.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Him and Josh have an incredible relationship. That's one of
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: the reasons why he probably got the job. So look,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: it's not a bad pick. Again, nobody liked Josh Allen,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: but I did go number one. Matthew Stafford. The way
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: he played last year was incredible. He still got as
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: good of an arm as anybody in the NFL. Nobody
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: throws a prettier football maybe Aaron Rodgers in his prime,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: but it's close. I mean, Matthew Stafford still had that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: He's still got the gunslinger mentality, but he takes care
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: of the football, which is hard to find.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: He's got Puka Nakoa.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: He's got Davonte Adams, He's got two good running backs,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: he's got four good tight ends. He's got a good
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: offensive line. It's the most talented roster in the NFL.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I know he's older, i know he's damn near forty,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: but I'm still going to go Matthew Stafford. If I
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: needed to go win a game in twenty twenty six,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I'm going Matthew.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Stafford's he makes throws that not other guys can make.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, you saw every week.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: I think Flynn came in here and was salivating at
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: the Matthew Stafford highlights.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: And rightfully.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: So.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: The guy's incredible, Jake. It's amazing what happens when you're
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: at an organization that's invested in winning. He can do
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: for you, and he's a perfect fit for the Rims.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: He is and he's been doing it a long time.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: He played in the early two thousands in the SEC
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: at Georgia.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I mean he was what he was. Oh man, he's
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Aaron Murray.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, so he was Okay, look Georgia, we got
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: blown out. He was right after he started as a freshman.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: He was a three year guy at George was six.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: He was the six or seven was his first year?
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It was six?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Wait, yeah, which we were still well Flynn and I
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: us old bastards were still in the SEC.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: When he came into UH, I know that a team
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: that was really good the cave here at Ticker Stadium
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: and just trounced lsue h.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: He was he was on that team.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, he was six to eight and then got drafted,
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: uh spring of two thousand and nine.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Man is still playing that.
• 17:34

• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, how how does anybody afford to live out here?
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: And then there's that that all the time when I

  Speaker 4: With whatever you wanteh nighttime radio. It was. It was
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: so much fun.

  Speaker 3: a family, but yeah, the actual content.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: That we could do.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: So since I was in high school, I've had this
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: idea of doing like a late night talk show but
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: just for sports and just have like athletes come on, coaches, whatever.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: But it's like very loosey goosey. You can talk about

  Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, yeah, that would be the dream and not
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: that like we're trying to but like just say whatever

  Speaker 3: you want it and not have to worry about getting
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: in trouble or somebody getting in trouble.

  Speaker 6: Especially having athletes, because they're not thinking about like you know,
• 37:34

• 37:36
  Speaker 6: athletes are gonna think about that, right I can.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: I mean when we have a player on on on
• 37:42

• 37:45
  Speaker 3: even though we try not to, like our bosses are
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: always like, hey, don't celebrate it can but let's.

• 44:02
  Speaker 3: The other day, when talking about random l s U players,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: I thought of Craig Steltz. Any good Craig Steltz stories.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Craig was my roommate for the first two years at LSU.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: An incredible human being from an incredible family.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: I love his brother Kevin as well.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: He was a fullback when I first got here, so
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: we shared the running back room together. Played against Craig
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: every year at high school in the playoffs when he
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: was a rumble Raider.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: All those stories you would.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Hear about Craig are great stories. Just an incredible human
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: and everything you've heard about him is true.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: He is literally that nice. There's a story about.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Him hunting on the practice field for the Chicago Bears,
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: which is highly illegal.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: We'll just leave it at that. Disney Land or Disney.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: World World, So actually I.
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: Think Land, Yeah, I wor.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: World's a little bit too much. Yeah, you guys spent
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: some real time there. You can knock out Land and.
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: One day, and I definitely prefer that both parts.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome again, like the weather plays a big factor
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: into it, like you got nice southern California weather. I've
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: been to Disney World in Orlando in December.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: And it's awful.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: I actually like the Universal in Florida better, but then
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: I like the Disney and California better because the Universal
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: in California it's one of those like if you have
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: a fast pass, you can finish it in less than
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: a day. And then we didn't know that, so we
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: had it for like three days and we're just like
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: riding the same rides. It's way smaller.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Than the one in since the Open Epic Universe. It's
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: in Orlando. It's awesome.
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Oh, the Harry Potter.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: World Universal Orlando's really nice.
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: I've done that a couple of times. All Right, let's
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: see can either Argentina or England beat Spain. Man, they
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: looked good smothering France.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: That's who they are, Like once they got up to
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: nil's like that don't matter who they're playing, they're not scoring.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: That is who Spain is.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: That back six, those two center mids and that back
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: and forth with that goalie.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: They ain't gonna let a whole lot of goals in.
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: So I was really confused.
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: They were the underdog in that game because they were
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: favored to win the World Cude.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's just because France has been playing so well. Yeah,
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: that's why we love you, We thank you. We'll see
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: you tomorrow.
