with these new quarterback. Coach marriages will start with
Mike McDaniel into a tongue of Allah first word that comes to
mind for you. Well, I wrote said I said savior that first
when I we talked about it just
a second. I'll say was savior again. I do. I look at Mike
McDaniel and I think that's part of the reason he was
hired. I think they probably looked at it between him and
kelan. More
Kellen Moore that offense. They asked deck prep Dak Prescott to
throw the ball to more traditional way and make big
throws down the field. Not to his game.
Absolutely not. Not. So they got the guy that went. Wait.
He came from an offense where
they made 70 million ways to throw the ball. Right here,
right there, right here, right there, right there, right
there. That's all they did that fits to a perfect. And that's
why I look at it as just the Savior word is, what I'll go
with. Their,
I still view. It is temporary
because I'm not buying. Any of the narratives that have been
put out there by the Dolphins. Post, the firing of Brian
Flores that everybody wanted to accept Flores and he's
the reason that too has been down. And he's the reason that they
wanted to tell. What's
They all wanted Jean Watson.
Stephen Ross is the one
who wants a franchise quarterback and he's already
come to the conclusion. That Tua isn't and they're going to
give him a chance in this new offense. But if it doesn't
work, you know, if he gets banged up,
that's the one thing we haven't discussed
McDaniel was working with Garoppolo who can't stay healthy
to a has had issues staying healthy. So,
you know, this new offense expose you to contact apparently
and to a manned up, not being able to play. So, I think
regardless it's not going to last long and eventually
they're going to be looking at
Again, for a franchise quarterback, the guy that
Stephen Ross, covets not that he doesn't have other things to
currently worry about like, you know,
maybe having to sell his team,
Josh McDaniels and Derek Carr. First word that comes to mind
robots. I do, you know, that's the first thing. I think.
I look at Josh McDaniels. He's a robot. He really is, you know,
he's like a Belichick. It's just everything's detailed
organized.
He knows how to coach everything in the world
and he wants a robot at quarterback like Tom, Brady.
And we've seen Derek
He's got some robotic Tendencies. He can do that.
I think that it'll actually work really well.
I do. I look at Derek Carr. I just think the way he's handled
himself in the Gruden offense. This is going to be a total
mental flip around
for the language of the offense. Some of the rules of
the offense. He's gonna have some things where he lived Jon
Gruden. He's ago. Hey, that was cool. We used to do this with
Gruden and
Josh, McDaniels and go. Oh, yeah. Well I used to do this
with Tom Brady and my way is really cool. So Watch this crap
and he's gonna go. Whoa. It is cool. But damn there's a few
more things to think about there.
They got to rewire the robot a little bit. But these are two
robots. I think together that can do some things, do some
damage in Las Vegas.
You know what? I could try to think of a better word, but
I like yours from the perspective of the player because
that's what you have to be
to be successful in the Josh McDaniels often. Yeah, you have
to allow yourself to completely be programmed by McDaniels. In
everything you do how you operate the offense. How you
operate yourself? When it's time to talk everything.
It's the Stepford Patriot Dynamic where
you don't say anything else.
Going to cause any issues and I feel like Derek Carr
wants to please his coaches. So bad really tries to be maybe
something other than what he really isn't because he's
trying to be exactly what it is. Is coaches are looking for
him. He's dying to be that lump of clay that is molded and he's
willing
to put himself in whatever position. He needs to be in
to satisfy. Whoever the coaches
that's good for Josh McDaniels,
Derek. Carr is going to be whatever McDaniels wants him to
be and apparently they like what they have in car because
they're already talking about son. I need him to
an extension. I saw somebody suggests. He's going to make 40
million a year which seems
Seems like a little much, but okay, if McDaniels
see something there, that could cause
the car to be the guy that McDaniels needs. And,
you know, McDaniels took that job. He could have, he could
have waited again. Yeah, wait a decade, right? He saw something
there in Las Vegas. It made him take that job and maybe he
secretly, you know, in his file that has on Derek Cars. Come to
the conclusion.
This guy can win. Yeah, I think there's got to be some of that.
Hey, I think you got the GM there and Dave Ziggler guy,
he's got like, you know, confidence in and knows that
things are going to be running that department. The way that,
you know, he finds
necessary to run a successful football team. So that I think
there's that marriage that's probably appealing. That was
appealing to Josh McDaniels
and you know, like we've talked about before.
Hey, we know I mean Derek Carr. Yeah, I, you know, he's not
he's not Mahomes or Josh Allen or or Joe burrow for that
matter,
but he's that next group of guys down.
I mean, he's hovering around top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL
and I think there'd be some people that would go. Oh, yeah,
he's number eight or nine for me. I mean, he's played too
good at football. He's definitely one of the positives
of the Raiders organization
and I think McDaniels looks at that and goes wait. I got that
now. Let me build everything else. This guy can handle all
the mental aspects that I need for this offense. And I think
to your point,
the demeanor is Derek. Carr goes all into please, his
coaches. He's going to do, whatever. He's got to do
for the betterment of
Team, the coaching staff, whatever it may be.
I do think this this, you know could work certainly there in
Las Vegas.
Well,
and
I look I just I agree with everything you said and and it
could be
kind of like the flip side of what we've seen with. Tom Brady
and Matthew Stafford, where you have established quarterback,
that goes to a new team and has great success right away. Could
be, you have established quarterback who stays put, but
new coaching
staff comes in and changes everything and It's more out of
him than anybody ever has. That's possible. Yeah, laughs
division, especially if Aaron Rodgers, shows up in Denver,
but Derek Carr may be in a position to hold his own, Brian
De Bal, and Daniel Jones with the Giants first word that
comes to mind
potential. I think that's what I look. I look at Brian, bade
a ball. I mean, you know, I love the higher. We talked about it,
a little to start the week. I mean, I'm so excited for
what the Giants are doing.
I'm as excited as I've been
since Tom Coughlin,
you know, Brian De Bal love, his offense, love that. He's
the head coach. They got Wink, Martindale. Also D coordinator,
I mean, come on big blue,
but I think we'll just as far as Jones and de-ball together.
Yeah, I mean first off I think day ball has potential to be.
You're an awesome head coach. Yeah. I think he's an awesome
play caller and I think he could get
the potential out of Daniel Jones.
You know? Again, this is going to be the best system. Daniel
Jones is a part of I do think that Brian table as smart as he
is new to the new GM everybody. They're gonna get
an improvement to the offense of line,
so we can finally see what Daniel Jones is all. About like
we've discussed before, you know, not that we sit here and
think again that he's the,
you know, next or the best quarterback in football, but
it's hard to really know what Daniel Jones is
evaluating on the Giants. The last few years. It's really
hard. You break down film. Ahem and you just go, I don't care
who you put here at quarterback. There's so many
issues with that offensive line. It was the worst
offensive line in football.
It was not it's not even close.
It's so bad. So that's where I look at it de-ball, his
potential and hopefully he can get
The potential we want, you know, as Giants fans out of
Daniel Jones,
Josh Allen jr. Is what comes to mind because that's what
they're trying to do. They wanted last year. They want to
Daniel Jones to make that same third year. Jump that we saw
from Josh Allen. Now, you got the guy who
engineered it who's in a position to take what Daniel
Jones can do, it gets back to what we were talking about
earlier.
What the guy does? Well
bring it out of him. What he doesn't do. Well
like trip over the 15 yard line, have him not do that.
So, I think, I think there is potential there. I think
the goal is to make him not necessarily Josh Alan, but
something in that vicinity,
Doug Peterson and Trevor Lawrence,
I guess, like, I want to say like
been there done that.
As far as when I just think of that, I just
Peterson been a quarterback,
was arousing as a quarterback himself in a back up. He saw,
you know, other young quarterbacks get groomed. He
was there to see Brett Favre. Go through some of the lumps,
you know, in Green Bay
and other places and then Course,
you know you say what you want.
He did do a good job with Carson wins
in Philadelphia.
He's, you know, again, like we've mentioned a million times
Carson, Wentz was on Pace to be the MVP and football in his
second year, as the quarterback of the best team in football
and was on fire.
So he does do what it takes at the position,
you know, to not only as a coach, but having the fact that
he's been there as a player
to to steer a Young quarterback like Trevor Lawrence in
the right. Ian
and make him a better player and hopefully that happens down
there in Jacksonville.
I'm going to say curiosity. Yeah, because of all
the marriages I, this is when I look at and I say,
you know, I'm I I'm just curious. Yeah, because it felt
like Byron. Leftwich is their first choice right for Trevor
Lawrence,
but left, which didn't want Trent baalke there. So it all
blew up and shot Khan, the owner of the team decided to
Pivot the Doug Peterson. I'm just very curious how this is
going to work. Is it going to work?
You know, there are unresolved questions about what happened
in Philadelphia. Alfea.
Can he really get the most out of Trevor? Lawrence will see
last one. Kevin O'Connell soon, to be named head coach to
the Vikings. We think
it's not done until it's done
and Kirk Cousins.
Well, it's like,
you know, what is the what is the word I want to use here
in part of the family? I guess is what I want to. I want to
say here, you know, and I what I mean by that is we know, Kirk
Cousins has history with McVeigh
and that coaching staff there.
So this is going to be like
Like, you know, cut O'Connell's going to place where
he's being told good things about Kirk Cousins
and McVeigh love Kirk Cousins. He was
you know back to like our Derek Carr McDaniels and he was
a robot. So you could be a robot that McVeigh could wire and you
know, he'll do exactly the way I did it. At Sean said to go
here and read this guy. Okay. I will. I'm a robot. I mean
that's Kirk Cousins to a degree,
you know, his issue is like what you've talked about
before. It's when there's nothing there and the ability
to make plays off schedule or not his top notch, but
he's part of the family.
No, Cano coming from a coaching tree, that likes Kirk Cousins
and I think within Kirk Cousins, you know, it's good to
have somebody in that family because yeah, he's gonna know.
He's going to know what a little bit. He doesn't know
what he's dealing with these, you know, the offense. He's,
you know, some of the rules,
he's gonna know some of the little nuances about how,
you know, Kevin O'Connell's offense is a little different,
you know, our mcveigh's offense is a little different as
compared to the the, what he's been in the last few years. So
I'll go with that. I couldn't think of a real creative one
there.
He loves him. He loves him. I'm not I'm you know,
I don't I just I still don't know
because part of working with Kirk Cousins for a year in
Washington. They were together O'Connell was a quarterbacks
coach and
cousins obviously the quarterback and
I don't know, I don't know what O'Connor really thinks of him -
yeah, I hear ya, he acts like he really likes him
and there was apparently some chatter last year that cousins
was a guy that the Rams would try to get instead of Stafford,
interesting to know
how that alternate reality would have played out if
cousins it. The quarterback. But
there are limitations the cousins game.
When he, when everything goes. Well, he spectacular when
things don't go. Well, he doesn't make chicken salad.
That's the problem. So they're gonna have to come up with
a way. Yeah, with Kirk Cousins right where he makes chicken
salad
out of chicken crap.
And that's where his biggest failure has been.
Because any great quarterback at some point is gonna have to
make a play When the play isn't there. And I rarely see cousins
do that. No, that's, that's right. I mean, I think that's
what we're
We're talking about when you talk about the elite
quarterbacks and football right now. And again, I got to go
through it my own mind, but I think there's about six, seven,
eight. Maybe even 9 right now and this league where
you go through it and you go wait, these guys would
nothing's there. Still like man, the defense wins ten plays
a game but somehow the quarterback found a
found a way to win six or seven of those plays.
That's that that is what a great quarterback does. And we
saw that just in the Super Bowl. There's a few places.
Is again we talked about it yesterday. The great no-look
throw down the middle. I mean, it's covered Bond bells in
the area. He's in and
you know Cooper comes not gonna be able to pass the ball, but
the fact that Stafford stared over here,
it took Von Bell that way and that was just the two or three
inches, they needed to get the ball behind to make that play
happen. So that's the value of the great quarterback to your
point. Mike.
