Baker, Mayfield Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco all quarterbacks
facing their former teams week one. It's not 100% sure. It's
going to be Joe Flacco against the Ravens but it's trending
that way which doesn't belong in why, out
of Mayfield Wilson and Flacco
give me Joe Flacco, because in the year of Our Lord 2022,
I just have a hard time believing that he should be starting
caliber quarterback. Where is Russell Wilson? Baker,
Mayfield, those guys, we know they can
Start football games. If they're at their best, they can
win football games, right? And they've also got a little more
Mobility than a Joe Flacco's. So if you're giving me those
three Flacco to me is the one that doesn't belong.
And look, I say this all the time and I'm going to say it
again because I've never said it to you. I don't think on
this program, I respect Joe Flacco because he is the only
that I'm aware of
former franchise quarterback. Once Upon a Time, the highest
paid player in the NFL who keeps hanging around the game,
who loves it enough
to to set his ego aside. And just be backup quarterback guy,
right? He doesn't need the money,
he does. He's doing it for the Love of the Game
and I respect that. I think Wilson doesn't belong because
of those three. He's the one who left. He's the one who
wanted out Baker. Mayfield. Got kicked to the curb by
the Browns. Joe Flacco got
kicked to the curb by the Ravens.
When they drafted Lamar Jackson,
Russell Wilson is the one who would still be in Seattle, but
for the fact that he made the power play to get out, all
right, three quarterbacks in a far different position to
a Tonka by low, a Daniel Jones, jail and hurts all who need to
prove themselves
this year and who could be down to their last chance which
doesn't belong in why
give me Geralyn hurts because jail and Hertz is at least LED
his team to the playoffs before.
And look, I think that. Yeah, he does have something to prove
this year and who knows what the Eagles are going to do. If
One Hertz doesn't, you know, prove himself or whatever it
happens to be but
Jalen hurts has shown that he can go in there and he can lead
a team and he can be a good quarterback. Now I think
they're going to need him to use more of his arm this year
than he did last year when
they basically flipped the whole offense around became one
of the best rushing teams in the league and use his legs in
that way. And I give Nick syriana a lot of credit for
being able to adjust on the fly like that
but I mean turmoil or hasn't necessarily proven much.
Of anything. And he's got a great situation down there.
Daniel Jones. I mean,
I don't know man, he just doesn't really pass the eye
test for me, at least, not yet. We'll see what he can do with
Brian De Ball, but I think hurts doesn't belong in that
group
when I'm going to say hurts for a slightly different reason.
Okay, we don't believe he belongs in that group because
we don't believe he is on thin ice. But I think the Eagles
have such a Wandering eye. When it comes to quarterback in
a low key way.
They don't do it clumsily like the Dolphins do.
But I think they're always Looking for an upgrade and even
though they went out and traded for Jalen hurts, good friend,
AJ Brown. And I guess it would be awkward if they would move
on from hurts after this year, but
I just think from everything I've heard.
If he stinks then, what do you do? And if you're AJ brown,
maybe this is the guy who's throw me the football, and if
he's not getting me the football, then let's get
somebody in here, who can get me the football, but I think
that that
we don't appreciate.
How tenuous Jalen Hurd status. Could be
because the Eagles do a good job
of not broadcasting their intentions to the world but
I still think they continue to be constantly. Looking for
that guy who would be a short list franchise quarterback and
let's face it. You know, I know people are mad because
the Raiders talked to Tom Brady about, you know, taking the job
and Derek Carr would been kicked to the curb. Well until
you are one of the top
the true top five quarterbacks.
You're always going to be at risk. If your team deciding,
we need to go get one of the true trop top five quarterbacks
we just we have to do it. If we can do it, if we have
the opportunity to do it, how would we say no to it? Because if you
have one of the true top five quarterbacks in the NFL,
you are a contender.
Every single year, your stadium is full
every single week. You're selling jerseys
all year long. You're
developing a bigger fan base. Coast-to-Coast are so many
positives that come from having a Tom Brady,
a Patrick Mahomes, an Aaron Rodgers,
there's so much good that comes from that.
That of course you would, of course you would consider that.
So any of these three teams, any of these trees teams, if
they could get themselves into a position where they had
a short list franchise quarterback, they would do it
next year, including the Eagles.
Yes. Yes, absolutely. I totally agree with you. I mean,
especially if you've got guys like brown and Devante Smith.
Yeah. You would want that quarterback to be able to help
those guys in the.
Those guys can help Elevate the quarterback to, so
it, if the Eagles have an open situation at quarterback next
offseason, that's one where you might see a guy try to maneuver
their way into Philadelphia.
And look, I'm not uncomfortable saying all this because Jalen
hurts is unaffected by. It makes arianny the coach,
the Eagles praised him recently for the fact
that nothing bothers him. I mean, he's walking by
the stands at FedEx field and almost collapse onto his leg
and shatter bones. And he's like, hey, whoop, that was
something. He doesn't get upset, he doesn't get
flustered. He's not going to be emotional about it. He gets it,
he knows how it works.
He just goes out and plays and he could play himself into that
franchise quarterback gig or they could decide, you know,
what we could keep. Jalen hurts and not have to pay him 50
million plus per year.
Maybe we can pay him 30
and use that money to otherwise have a great team and
maybe he'd be fine with that. So I'm not I'm not saying it's
a done deal, I'm just saying we don't understand. Generally we
as fans and media that
the Eagles are
they are constantly looking. They're determined to get one
of those top five guys at some point and just like
the Dolphins, just like the Giants. Just like anyone that doesn't
have a top five guy.
They've got their eyes open. All right.
Speaking of a trio of top five guys. Aaron Rodgers Patrick
Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. I know some would argue whether
or not Jackson's top five, I think he's closer to the top
five, then bottom
of the top five
which doesn't belong. And why in that group, quarterbacks who
lost their best receiver via trade in the offseason, who
doesn't belong,
Lamar Jackson? Because, no matter who is top receiver, is
it kind of doesn't really matter. Because, the way that
offense runs, right? That offense runs through
Lamar Jackson and his leg. And the running backs in
the running backs legs, that that it's just a run based off that.
So, whoever that lead was Seaver
is it's going to change. Its going to do this, it's going to
do that. They've got Mark Andrews at tight end. That's
probably always going to be Lamar Jackson's top Target, and
that's okay. And I have no problem with that. I mean,
that's
one of the great things about the NFL is, there's more than
one way to do things, but, you know, when you're talking about
Patrick my homes and Aaron Rodgers, like, those guys
are going to be able to Elevate their receivers in a different
way because of the different structure of the offense and
the different structure of their arms than Lamar Jackson.
In the Baltimore Ravens,
I agree with you again, but I'm going to
apply a different take here. Just couldn't kering variety.
I can occur concurring in part and descending in part.
I'm going to say Aaron Rodgers just because of the three. He
is the most likely to publicly piss and moan about
the Handy's, Bend out. We've already seen her,
right. He's got his Tuesday, safe space with Pat McAfee, he
can go on there and say, yeah, you know, we don't want you
were guys, okay, we got guys in can't catch a football, me.
Patrick Mahomes is never going to do that. Lamar Jackson is
never going to do that. We know Aaron Rodgers will do it,
because
he's done it before and he's done it recently. And if his
collection of not Davante, Adams is,
is not getting it done. He's not going to be bashful about
telling the world what he thinks miles even in this new
Iowa.
Oscar fueled love of humanity, he ain't gonna love that depth
chart if they're dropping his passes and he can't trust them.
Well, if you took a look at Twitter yesterday and saw
the things that Derek Carr and Davante Adams were apparently
doing to the Patriots defense that I'm sure he's like there's
that Meme of like the cartoon character and he's like, got
the picture and it's like
a picture of what, whatever the meme is supposed to be like,
that was probably Aaron Rodgers on his phone. Just let go
Devonte and miss you
of all.
The blows to the ego that Aaron Rodgers has surely taken over
the past couple of years and I've defended him, as it
relates to how the Packers have screwed around with him. The
Jordan love thing. What a mess, although it did,
it did spark him to have back-to-back
MVP season because I think that motivation in part came from
the decision to draft your in love, but it really has to
sting that the guy that he played with for eight years
chose Derek Carr
over him. I mean, that's what it came down to and I know
he wanted to live in Las Vegas. Who wanted this? Look
yeah but the quarterback is fairly important co-worker
and you chose Derek Carr over Aaron Rogers and Rogers has to
carry that around and maybe maybe that's maybe that's why
I went back to Peru or wherever he went for round two of
Ayahuasca trying to process that
