ACL week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he is
working his way back
into kind of running like I do. I mean that's really not much
runny. But at least with a torn ACL, he's able to get on and
move. We've seen video of him
doing Drop backs and moving laterally. Still got a way to
go to get himself ready to be cleared and that's
the unfortunate part of tearing, your ACL halfway through
the season. You may not be ready to go in free agency rolls around.
And it's time to go out and get yourself a new contract. He was
on a one-year deal with the Saints. He'll be a free agent
in 16 days. And look place in. Filling the brown blank Mike
with quarterback destinations for 2022. We'll start with
Jameis Winston.
Where do you think
Winston will be playing? Come week, 10.
I still think he'll be in New Orleans. You know, I really do.
I think, I mean we're again, what's the alternative is it?
Is it taysom Hill. I mean, is that?
Is that what your quarterback? I
Just don't see it. I never have.
And I won't.
So to me. I still think he's going to be in New Orleans
too much continuity in the coaching staff. Even with Sean,
Payton gone. Dennis. Allen is bumped up Pete. Carmichael
stays as the offensive coordinator. He knows Winston
easier to continue everything and it'll be an affordable deal
for the Saints because Winston won't be able
to pass a physical and sign a contract for a while. Still and
plenty of these other teams will already have made their
plans. So taysom Hill is the guy Ian's bookstore. Loading
around Trevor, Simeon could still be kept on the roster and
you just save a spot for Jameis Winston when he's
ready to go, but you're going to get him cheap, maybe even
cheaper than you did last year as he tries to re-establish
himself as an NFL quarterback. All right, this is the tough
one. And this is the first Domino. We talked about this
earlier. This is
the guy that I think everybody is waiting for, so they can
figure out their plans, Aaron Rodgers. Where do you think he
will become weak one? I think everyone's going to be in Green
Bay. I think he's staying there. Think they're going to
work out a deal for him to stay there.
Like I said, if he wanted to To go anywhere else and win. It
would to me. It would be San Francisco because you know
hearing him say or people say that Aaron says,
it's not about winning the Superbowl. I bet that that
could be the biggest load of garbage. I've heard in a long
time. That's what this guy has got to be playing for right, is
the Super Bowl. I mean, everybody talking about
the legacy of the quarterback
by Super Bowls and I still think one of his best options
is going to be in Green Bay and I think they're going to figure
out a way for him to stay in Green Bay. So I say he stays
right at home right now. I'm
Boring, just keeping the quarterbacks in there saying places.
I was convinced for a long time that he was going to ask to be
traded now. San Francisco wanted him last year. But this
year, they don't have the trade resources to placate
the Packers because they gave up this year's first-round.
Pick and next year's first round pick is part of the trail
and steel. So they have a hard time doing it.
But I think at the end of the day, Mike, where do you really
look, if you're Aaron Rodgers to find a destination where you
could become the third veteran quarterback in three? Reasons
to go to a new team and win a Super Bowl right out of
the gates and
the Patriots were not a one seed. When Tom Brady left,
the lions were definitely not a one seed. When Matthew Stafford
left here. The Packers back-to-back. Number one seed.
Where do you go
to guarantee yourself as good of a regular season
and a better outcome in the postseason.
I don't think he's going to do it at the end of the day.
I don't think there's a spot you look at and say
I'm going to go here and I'm going to have a better
experience. You stay in the division where the
Bears have a new coach in a new GM. The Vikings have a new
coach in a new GM. The lions are in year two of their
latest. Reboot. They can dominate that division, be
the one seat again and try it further time to see if they
can win in Lambeau Field in January. Get back to the Super
Bowl and when you look at the moves the Packers are making
from a capstan point bringing back Tom Clements, I think at
the end of the day, Rogers and going to have the nerve to roll
the dice on, going somewhere else. And
maybe invite the argument,
that it wasn't the Packers failing to put a team.
Around him. All those years. They failed to get to the Super
Bowl. It was him not stepping up in the postseason.
Listen, I'm with you. I plus I just think
I'm just looking at it from a X's and O's standpoint.
They got a lot of weapons. Are they got a great now one-two?
Punch at running back, Renault Davante Adams as you sure Devon
taste, you know wondering what's going to happen if he's
going to stay there, you know, pay devonté or maybe I've
probably tagged them,
but eventually he's going to get paid. I just think they're
too good, a team. I wouldn't leave that. I know. They're
obviously stubbing their toe in the playoffs, but that's still
to me the best option for him to give the Super Bowl. So,
we're in agreement right now.
Real quickly, Russell Wilson Wilson, I think he's staying in
Seattle. I think that not. They got him at a contract for two
more years. He's very good at compartmentalizing. Even if
she's not happy. I think, if the Seahawks just say sorry
under contract for two more years. He's not going to push
it because he's not wired
to push it. He did a little bit last year. We haven't heard any
of that this year. I think he wants to re-establish himself
after a disappointing season.
I think you would like to do that as well. Kind of like
the Damian Lillard and Portland situation, but just for fun.
I'll say, let's go. Pittsburgh right try and rebuild that old
line little more, but he certainly used to run in
a little bit and making plays on
the go. If Seattle is ready to say, we're going to move on. We
have too much rebuilding to do. So, there's no sense in keeping
a high price quarterback for a couple more years.
So we'll get some Assets in return.
So, just for fun on this one. I'll say the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I'm going to Pittsburgh with the next guy in the list in
Jimmy Garoppolo because the bar is low with Mason Rudolph all
due respect, but I could see the Steelers making a play for
Jimmy. Coppola while they figure out who their next
long-term. Franchise quarterback is going to
be, and they went along 20 years between Terry Bradshaw
and Ben Roethlisberger. They need to have a plan to get
a young guy in there, but they could do a lot worse than
Garoppolo. And
Mason Rudolph. Frankly would be a lot worse than Garoppolo.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
How about Garoppolo to go put some pressure on Baker,
Mayfield in Cleveland, or is that too much money with
the two of them?
That would be a lot of money, especially when you have
Mayfield signed and Garoppolo do to make 25 million. Would he
take less than that? If he just gets cut? Who knows?
Lastly. I think Tom Brady to the 49ers. I just have a gut
feeling is gonna end up with the 49ers. He's going to play
and he's going to go
play for the team
that he grew up rooting for Mike.
Hell, I think that's where he wanted to go while ago. I think
it was jealous and Garoppolo when he went to San Francisco.
So I think that would be the perfect cherry on top to his
career because I both think, I think we both believe he's
coming
back and I I think that would be the landing spot.
