  Chris who is at least today, Well, let me ask you this.
• 0:03
  Let me still on the forty nineers real quick. You mentioned that about party,
• 0:05
  and I was talking with somebody about that yesterday. Is you know,
• 0:08
  we've yet to see what he'll make and what a value to have him under
• 0:12
  that rookie contract right now. But Christian McCaffrey, how much how much life,
• 0:16
  how much Gaston tank does he have left? Oh? I think he's
• 0:19
  still got a good bit now. You know, obviously shelf life for running
• 0:22
  backs or not talking like with the over quarterbacks of course, but he's still
• 0:26
  he is maybe the most complete back in the league I think right now,
• 0:31
  because he runs with a great deal of power that people don't seem to think
• 0:35
  that he has. I think he's fine. You know, it's just you
• 0:38
  hope that he stays healthy long term. But I think he's got quite a
• 0:43
  bit of tread loved on his tire. Is it still the AFC is the
• 0:48
  more I guess you could say rigorous road. I mean, when you're talking
• 0:52
  about Buffalo, Cincinnati, Baltimore, you look at Miami, you look at
• 0:56
  maybe the emergence. So we'll see what Jim Harball does with the Chargers versus
• 1:00
  the NFC. I mean, I mean we could see maybe the Packers make
• 1:03
  another step up. We'll see what happens with the Cowboys. Can the Lions
• 1:06
  maintain? But as the AFC still waited, at least in your mind,
• 1:10
  the heaviest of the two leagues. Right now, yes, but again three
• 1:17
  months six months from now, it you know, how good can the Packers
• 1:22
  get? What will the Bears do? That's a pretty decent roster. There
• 1:26
  may be a year away from becoming a factor in that division. With the
• 1:30
  Lions, We'll see what Seattle can do. And I mean, you know,
• 1:36
  we've got some teams in the NFC that right now not very good.
• 1:40
  But it's it's the league that you can get better pretty quickly, particularly if
• 1:44
  you find your quarterback. You know, if you can find your CJ.
• 1:49
  Stroud, if you're an NFC team, all of a sudden, you're pretty
• 1:53
  good. I mean, if you're Washington and you can find that guy,
• 1:57
  you know, all of a sudden we're talking about you know you're to changing
• 2:00
  it. But yeah, I would say right now, I mean hardball,
• 2:06
  the Charges make a lot of sense, but how good are they going to
• 2:07
  be this year? They're in major cap properm so the roster that they have
• 2:13
  is going to be hard to keep together. So let's see how well they
• 2:15
  hit on the draft will determine how good they can be. You want to
• 2:19
  talk to me in two three years. I tell you that I think the
• 2:21
  Charger is going to be pretty good in a couple of years. I think
• 2:23
  they'll be good and competitive this year. I just don't know that they're going
• 2:25
  to be the contender issue that they will be in a couple of years.
• 2:30
  So there's a lot of unknown I guess, is what I'm saying. The
• 2:32
  Bengals are, you know, with Joe Burrow, absolutely got a chance,
• 2:38
  but he's got to stay healthy. And if he's not healthy, we can
• 2:40
  talk about it all we want. That's that's gonna be a pretty low ceiling
• 2:46
  every year if he's out for you know, half a dozen games, and
• 2:50
  particularly the end of the year, they don't have much of a chance without
• 2:53
  it. Chris Landry make sure to find him on x at Landry Football also
