Former NFL quarterback, Fox Sports Radio NFL analyst.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
I don't be arguing with him. I'll be trying to
set him away. They will ask him, hey, man, who's
the best quarterback right now? As soon as he says it,
are you telling me you go off on him? They'll
be asking that man his best for the best, and
then you want to go off on them.

I'm gonna go off and he don't give me the
right answer.

not even kidding you.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
This is what we strive to do every day. I
didn't realize anomaly hit us yesterday. He was crying. Feel
so good to laugh his butt off when you were
doing your particular impression. Who was that? I'm just saying,
when you were doing that, that's all. Don't do it again. Stop,
I'm gonna write it down for you. All right, come.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
On, stop doing that. I just want you to know
though I was in tears because you're not. You don't
do mister impression like that.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
That was good. That's not that's that was good. That's
not in my bad and the Lord sad. That's right, Amen,
like my childhood. Here we go, rob g.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
You know, ay, the Pittsburgh still is off to a
good start four and two and uh it is kumbaya
in Pittsburgh. I mean so much so they love I
think that they would just eat heines ketchup all day.
I mean, that's how excited they are to have Aaron
Rodgers fondly as their quarterback. And the kind words are

(03:36):
just flowing and all the other stuff that's going on,
a lot of people didn't want them there, Like they've
all flipped.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know, you, Aaron Rodgers, you hear all kinds of stuff.
Those guys have flipped now, Alex, which is crazy, but
rob G, what are you hearing?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well.

Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah, despite Aaron Rodgers saying himself back in June that
he's pretty sure this is the last season. That's why
I did a one year deal, despite them losing to
the Cincinnati Bungals on primetime television. But he played well
in them, I mean, through two picks in their most
recent game touchdowns, just saying I.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Gotta keep it a hondo.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Even with all that said, ESPN's Jeremy Fallon, friend of
the Show, reported earlier this week on his weekly Buzz
column that folks in Pittsburgh are hopeful that Aaron Rodgers
decides to for go retirement and run it back one
more time.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
In twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
Guys, we're only through a week seven, they've only played
six games, and they're already talking about re up in
the contract.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm not surprised, only from the standpoint, and we talked
about it before. The reason that they waited for him.
The whole idea is that this franchise was waiting for
a quarterback. And as you just saw, who was it
who just was at Mark Spears on ESPN who just
came out and said, Justin Field is not a starting

(04:59):
quarterback in the NFL like a lot of Marcus. I'm sorry,
I said, Mark, Mark, you know what I mean. Like
people are like, okay, like And the point is that
even the Steelers who originally wanted them back, you know
what I mean, to come back and sign or whatever.
But the point is the Steelers felt like they just

(05:21):
needed a quarterback. He didn't have to be Aaron Rodgers
from twenty ten, even though he's putting up some decent numbers,
but they need a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
And I think that they've seen that. They've seen what
he brings to.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
The locker room, the respect level that they have for him,
and you know, him and Mike Tomlin, they got a
break like it's hot and heavy. So there's a lot
of good feeling. Even they haven't won every game. He
hadn't been perfect, nothing like that. Nobody's looking for that,
but I think he gives them an element that they
feel like, if we could get our defense. Together, we

(05:55):
could win this division. The Ravens are down, you know
what I mean, there's an opening there for sure. And
I just think that there's good feelings because he came
in with the right attitude that Jets didn't want them,
playing a simple knot. He went there. Jets didn't want them,
and he came there. Terry Bradshaw, one of the most
celebrated guys, came and trashed Aaron Rodgers up and down.

(06:19):
He didn't take the bait that I respect him. I
hope he gets to know.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Me about.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Even if you're right or if you you know, would
he come back. You could have easily went off on.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Terry's old coupe, you know what I mean, and blah
blah blah whatever it would have been. He didn't do that,
And I just think it's the good feeling of having
a quarterback who they really feel is a quarterback and
I mean can do a lot of different things. He's
not the best quarterback in the league, but I think
for the first time in a while, they feel like

(06:54):
they have a real quarterback. I think that's what the
feeling is, and they can feel.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
That you have ever had an old car that still
rode pretty well, still look pretty good, and you just
enjoyed it, and you always like, I just love this car,
and you know it's dangerous and you hope it's working
and it's working out, but eventually, you know you need
a new card. That's the Steelers right now. Aaron Rodgers
is playing exactly how I thought he would. I has

(07:19):
said he's going to remind me of his hair better
Russell Wilson. For the Steelers, Russ came out, was on fire,
looked pretty good. They're happy. Russ looked bad. They started
to lose, end up losing five or six in a row,
and I think ultimately that's what just gonna be. I
don't think he'll be as bad as Russell Wilson because
he's a better quarterback in you know, at the Pantheons.
But I think it's I think there's gonna be a
downside now. The thing that they're fortunate with and you

(07:41):
can't help it. Sometimes fortune favors you know, the bold.
Lamar Jackson's out, Joe Burrow's out.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
You can kill no right, I'm saying, but that's fortunate.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
And Joe Burrow and the Cleveland Browns don't know what
they're doing so that you have to take full advantage
of that.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I'm saying they absolutely better take advantage of that.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
But my biggest thing goes back to what we talked
about all on the off season all the thing. My
thing is if I bring him back at then what
would he be forty two? Next year? Three forty two?
So he'll be forty two years old. You know Keeley's
a couple of years ago was torn would have had
a solid season assuming this one that you would want

(08:19):
him back.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
My thing is, you don't have anybody in the pocket.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
I would love to have Aaron Rodgers for two years
if I'm Pittsburgh because I'm grooming Mike Jackson Dart, I
have my scheduer.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
So nobody cares about you keep talking about because what's
the point, Rob, No hear me.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I really want to hear me out.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
If he goes nine to seven, like I predict, then
let's say it's tennis seven.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I mean you said nine. Let's say it's nine to eight.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Let's say it's tenants or whatever and they get in
a wild card or something and they lose. How about
they win the division? They they're poised to win a division, right, now, okay,
so they get the division. But let's say my point
is they lose in their first game of the playoffs.
It looks the exact same as Russell Wilson did, and
you don't have someone to replace him. And my point
is who is their guy? And that's all I've been saying,

(09:07):
is not that Aaron Rodgers is terrible. No, he's Anon Rodgers.
He played solid last year with the Jets. My whole
thing was, you're in a division when they're healthy. You
got Joe Burrow, you got.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
The Raiders guy. Who's the Raiders guy?

Speaker 5 (09:17):
That's the point find that's find their guy. They brought
in Geno Smith, and you and I both said that
was in the move.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Okay, And I can list you ten other teams. Who's
the cludes Cleveland's guy Cleveland, they might be Melon Gabriel.
I'm saying, Okay, that's why I never wanted them to
play Joe Flacco. Find your guy if it's Dylan Gabriel.
My biggest argument.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
With you is that's just not the way sports is
set up today. But that absolutely is. It's not Jackson
Dart was the Giants guy. We knew that in the offseason.
We all knew that? Did we not all know that?

Speaker 5 (09:50):
And then they bring in Russell Wilson and James with
all these guys would go okay, and they start Russell
Wilson for a They're still not winning. Jackson Dart is
their guy. They caught a couple, but the coach they
won a couple, the coaching.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
GM might not beat up. They lose the last six
or seven games. Would we would you there next year?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
But I'm just saying, I'm saying that's all the winning.
It's about winning now, It's not. It is, Yes, it is.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It's about winning, about winning the prolonged amount of time. Oh,
it's not.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's about winning every season the seas, given yourself the
best chances done right now, giving yourself the best chance
to haven't.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Won a game and they're not trying to do. You
don't know that. You're just guessing. And that's literally what
we do going on. The mine has insight. I'm like,
that's stuff I've.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
You're saying, it's insight. It's the same guy that again
put up the same similar numbers. It was five and
twelve last year, and his team had similar numbers. They
had similar numbers. Russell Wilson, and they looked the exact
same as they.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Had the last seven eights.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
And here's the problem with your your statistic stick on
your numbers. He's on pace to throw forty touchdowns if
you take his numbers that he has.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Now, I'll take that bet. No, he ain't, no forty eight.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Would you like to make it bet he ain't getting
forty touch down twenty eight and that he'll be what.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
He has ten for six games? Got ten already. Would
you like to make the bet you want to have
more than twenty eight? You said he's gonna have the
same numbers if you get if he gets a thirty,
that's so lower. You said the same. No, no, no,
let's bet twenty eight if he gets less thirty twenty
same thing. He said the same. No, what you just
said ten. You just said said he no.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
No.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
What you said was he's projected to get to forty.
But that's what already the first or that's so put
the bet on what you said he's projected to his
thirty he's got fourteen already.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Put the bet at forty.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
No, I'm saying you said no, you say not, look
about the same. I'm saying my people. How could it
look the same. He's got fourteen, eight thirty. You said
you're gonna end up with twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Let's bet that.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
I'm not betting twenty eight because if it's twenty nine point,
is it gonna be around the same as what I'm saying.
I'm saying it's gonna be much closer to last year
forty eight or thirty? What are you guys gonna be
much closer to last year than forty?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Not the point? That is the point. I can settle
this real quick. Yes, okay.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Aaron Rodgers on pace for forty touchdowns last year at
twenty eight. He's also on pace for seventeen interceptions last
year yet eleven?

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Right, so is that better? Is that better or worse
than I'm just talking about the do you rab? Is
that better word? Are you yelling at me? Because you
yelling at me?

Speaker 5 (12:28):
He's going to look just like Russell Wilson. They're gonna
be nine and eight and seven.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
They're not gonna be nine and there. They're gonna be
ten and nine and eight.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
You know, they don't even they haven't even played well
like they're They're not that great of a team.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
They're a solid team. I'm not even bad.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Come on, man, and then and then whatever you want,
because you've been wrong on so many things, that dude,
And the whole point is they have a quarterback, the
same guy that you thought they had a quarterback went.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
To the That's not what I said.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
No, listen, if you say what I said to me,
I said, find out what you know.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's what I said.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
You said, justin field, We'll find out what you have.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
All the players they rallied around justin jail. That's what
they say, the quarterback of the future. I don't understand
why they're not playing it. That guy's my job in
New York youn't even win a damn game.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
When about them, Where's I tried to tell, where's Russell
Wilson right now? Tried to tell, where's Russell Wilson. That's
what you told me, Russell Wilson. Where's Russell Wilson. I
know there's Russell Wilson. I told yours Wilson. We could
go get the tape.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I said, as soon as Russell Wilson is healthy, he's
gonna start.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Justin Fields is gonna start and said, no, they won't.
And I and I and my whole point, and you
were why would I move on the guys that was
four and too cousin and I stand by that cause
he's no good. Russell Wilson, and Russell Wilson about justin
Field looks and that's my no. One basking you looks horrible. Okay,
that's my point. And find out what you have. We

(14:00):
already know one point, he's been on three teams in
three years. Find out they knew Aaron Rodgers has been
on three and four Aaron Rodgers been on three teams
in four years.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
No, he has it, Packers, Jets, steal it was hurt
one year aftern't even county except four. Otherwise I would
have said three, I gave you a hurt year.

Speaker 1 (14:20):

nine on Fox Steelers essentially saying they would love to
have Aaron Rodgers again next season. I said, nah, Rob says, yes,
what say you? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox?
Who we are?

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Eric in Austin, Texas. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
What's up? Eric?

Speaker 4 (16:25):
What up? Row with them? Kelvin? How you guys doing
what up?

Speaker 7 (16:28):
Okay? So here's the thing. I think y'all are both right.
It really depends on the team. If you're a team
like the Death, the Giants, the Raiders, if you're not
playing for anything competitively this year, yeah you're trying to
find your guy and developing whatnot. But if you're the Steelers,
then you have Aaron Rodgers. Yeah you're gonna resign him
for like another year, maybe two. But Kelvin, you're right,

(16:49):
like in the end, they still need to find their
next guy.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Why.

Speaker 7 (16:52):
I think in the offseason, I wouldn't be surprised if
they trying to make a deal for Anthony Richardson out
of Indy because they got a friend their nest guy
regard this.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
But if you have Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 7 (17:01):
Who can hold down the Ford, who can make your
competitives and you know, lead under the division title and
possibly a yeah, you want to keep him around. But
if you're a team like it's a Giant, you're not
playing for nothing. You're gonna start tacking dark anyway. Russell
Wilson is playing so bad.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
But but but my point is you're trying.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
If you have a team that you feel that can compete,
you're playing for this year, you worry about it.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Rod Okay, just like the Giant. But I'm just saying
that's not here. But here's why.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
Here's why I don't just see what you're saying, Rob,
But here's why I challece. Like if they went out
and got Sam Darnold, meaning not a rookie, not a
you know, lower guy who's gonna have to learning curve,
a guy who's been in the league now, is a
veteran and looks like he's on the uptick, then I
get that you might have your guy for let's say
the forty nine ers just didn't want rock Party or whatever.
They couldn't match dollars and it still is brought in
back party. Okay, you got your guy. That's all I'm saying,

(17:52):
is not that Aaron Rodgers. Just when will you have
your guy for the next five six years that you
can start rolling out.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's just that's that's where we That's what this.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Year we disagree. I believe it's a year to year basis.
That's why you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
That's why.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's why a coach can What do you mean that's
all of the teams that win. No, it's not.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
It's they've got their guy, but that has Jaylor Hurts
is the Eagles guy. That's That's not what Patrick Mahomes
is charge the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
That's not what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I'm talking what I'm saying every year, if you can
win and be a good coach, like Mike McCarthy won
twelve games, okay, three years in a row, he's no
longer the coach because it's.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
About year to year, how did we do, did we win?
What went wrong? What went right?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
It ain't no long term playing that he has a guy,
he has Dak Prescott a coach. No, because I'm trying
to talk about an organization. No, But I'm Jerry Jones
are trying to win a Super Bowl. He loves Dak
Daxon's guy. You're talking about the coach.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I know what about proskin you If you got your guy,
you're good to go. They won twelve games three years
in a row when he was out. You know you
speak for Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
I'm saying the Dallas Cowboys, you don't have their guy,
got periods.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Have their guy, Hills have their guy. The why is
Mike McCarthy not there because his corner is Jerry Jones.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
No, because they lost, and when you lose, regardless of
your guy, you make changes.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Your thing. But the guy isn't gone. No, you're not
making any sense. I am. You know the quarterback is
still there. Having the quarterback makes you have your guy.
You should be the coach and you should still be there.
It doesn't matter. It's about we're literally your question is
about Aaron Rodgers. Why the coaches because it ain't justbatim,

(19:35):
it's about year to ye. The Steelers want Aaron Rodgers
back year to year.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Mich McCarthy, because you don't know what you're talking, ignored
the question.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Dion and Tech business like talking to you man, not
making you don't make any sense. Aaron Rodgers is the
copic and do you prove this point?

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Dak trust got still there, don't They got their guy?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Don't be talking because you.

Speaker 8 (20:02):
Hilarious.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Man, you got.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Quarterback double talk me sounds crazy.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
If it's all about having your guy, how the hell
is Mike McCarthy, which.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Was where's that president?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Because they had a bad ye right now, they had
a bad year and it's year to year, Dion.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
Go ahead, my man, Hey, guys real clad I do
want to weigh in, Rob. I just want to tell
me if you look at Pittsburgh's schedule, where is Aaron
Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Where would they win four games?

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Uh? They might not.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
I'm telling you this division is not over. If Lamar
comes back healthy, I want to see this thing finish
out Cincinnati or or or the Lamark. They could challenge
the uh, the Pittsburgh Seelers. I don't see them winning
another five games. I know you say ten wins. I
just don't see it. But I do see your point,
Rob's this year they want to get Mike tom to win,

(20:53):
get out the first round. They want to win that
first round. Again. I'm still not sure that's going to happen.
And I get Calvin's point. You need to find your guys,
all right.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
So they found Dak Prescott. They got their guy, but
that didn't save Mike McCarthy. You know why, Dion, because
they didn't win, and they because it's about winning year
to year. It's about winning. It's not about anything else.
That's my point. It's about winning every year. It's about winning.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's why. All right? Who did they just fire? Who
was the coach in Tennessee or whatever they just got
rid of?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
They got their quarterback and guess what, they ran them
out of town.

We are joined now by our guy, Sean King.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
We're down with the King, former NFL quarterback Fox Sports
Radio NFL analysts Twitter.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
You can hit him up at real Sean King? What up, Shark?

Speaker 4 (21:51):
What's I just got off the phone to FBI? Please
go a risk Carson Wentz for a person naming an
NFL quarterback last night?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
What they say?

Speaker 4 (22:02):
What they say? They left me a whole time.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
That sounds about right. You're in Vegas though, right, all right,
damn Vegas. Everything going on?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
What did you make sear? I real quick of how
how much gambling is going on with players? You think
in pro sports now with everything that's out there, just curious.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Curious, don't I don't know what I would constitute gambling.
I don't think there's a lot of guys going games.
What if you're asking me, are there are a lot of
conversations that guys have with people around them about things
that could give you an edge when it comes to gambling. Yes,
that's human nature.

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Is it intentional or is it just casual? Like Yo,
my leg hurt, I'm hurting tonight? Or is it like Yo,
my leg hurt tonight?

Speaker 4 (22:42):
You might want to Probably a little bit of both.
But people being involved, it's what they're saying upon the
other investigation, like fixing poker games and that kind of stuff,
I would think that's pretty rare.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, the word the poker game is something else compared
to the other stuff.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, that's agreed. It's kind of two separate things.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Hey, we just one thing, though, they're I don't understand
if you're going to give you a homeboy the what's
up on a player? Prop? Why not give him the over?
Like my rebounds an a three and a half. I'm
gonna bust my butt every time I'm in the game
to grab rebounds, like take the over, Like why don't
you get All of these are unders? And they're so obvious.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Unders are easier because I can I can control that.
I can't for sure tell.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
You me saying don't do it, so it's not obvious,
is what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
No, but I can't guarantee you I'm gonna get nine rebounds,
is what I'm saying. Bark Uh, what did you make
of the charges last night? What did you take away
from that game?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
From that game?

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Nothing? I think they're playing a very limited opponent. And
I mean I thought justin Herbert continued his development. I
think this is about far his best season up to
this point. He looks like the package finally after just
being potential. But I mean Minnesota was so inept at

(24:09):
the quarterback position. I mean, what could you take away?
I mean Carson was scared, afraid, you know, sporadic, inaccurate,
like I have a good win for them, But I
mean with the way the quarterback played from Minnesota. I mean,
who couldn't have beat the Vikings last night? I want
I know one thing I want to see J. J. McCarthy.
I don't see anymore. Carson went to ow Viking fan.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Well, that was just staying a minute with JJ.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Whenever he comes in, could be they say the next
nineteen days or something like that.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
What are they throwing in the season.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Not that they're going to throw it in, but I mean,
and you're saying this is just going to be a
developmental year. Do you feel like they still believe they
can win with JJ?

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I think they believe they can win, but I also
think you got to be fair and how you evaluate him.
We're still talking about a young player that's had what
two starts in his career. So again, with these young quarterbacks, patients,
you know is generally what none of them get. So
hopefully the Vikings will demonstrate faces with JJ. Because I
actually coach the kid at IMG I was his coordinator
quarterback coach. He's a really, really good player and if

(25:10):
given time, he'll be good. But you know, patience in
the NFL don't really go hand in hand. In twenty
twenty five, at quarterback.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Lamar Jackson could play as questionable? Would you if he's
ready to go play him? Or do you maybe you know,
send him out another week? Or or are you running
out of games? You know what I mean, trying to
get back into it, to get back into it.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
As unlikely as it probably is, the Ravens can still
go twelve and five. So I mean, if you're Lamar,
you got it, Like, if you're capable of playing, even
if it's an eighty eighty five percent, I feel like
you got to go out because he's a better option
than eighty eighty five percent than anybody else they have
on the roster they've already given up. Or was it
Cooper Rush for the events in the last game, So

(25:57):
I think I thought it just elevated Tyron Toy Huntley, Like, oh,
the season is not over. That's the thing about the NFL.
Like I always tell people my first three years in Tampa,
we started three and four every year, and we made
the playoffs in all three of those years and went
to the NFC Championship Game and won the Super Bowl
and one like, so it's a long season. To answer

(26:19):
your question, if he's a eighty five percent to me
he has to play.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
Shaun King our guest, former NFL quarterback, Fox Sports Radio
NFL analysts, let me ask you this, talk about a
long season. If the Packers the Steals, we're hosting the Packers,
both teams good records right now for one and one
for the Packers, four and two for the Steelers. Where
do you project the you know, almost second half of them.
Is this who they are? Could they trend up? Could

(26:43):
they trend down? Either of those teams?

Speaker 4 (26:46):
This's my favorite play of the weekend. I love the
Steelers plus three. I think the Packers are vastly overrated.
Jordan Love is extremely inconsistent. As much fanfare that was
made about Michael Parsons being added to that defensive line,
they haven't been able to get to the opposing quarterback consistently.
And guess who's the quarterback from Pittsburgh. He's had this

(27:06):
one circles. I think Aaron Rodgers has a big game.
I love Pittsburgh plus the three.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
You saw the reporter we were just talking about it.
Do you do you like the Stealers saying they would
love to have him next year?

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Absolutely? I mean if not him, then who they're probably
gonna be too good enough record wise to get a
high draft pick. And it's not like they have the
air appearing on the well, you know, I take that back.
They got the kid from Ohio State. It was named Howard,
so we'll see. But of course you want Rogers to
come back and get year to two with Ardis Smith,
you know, and give your young quarterback another year to development.

(27:42):
Absolutely all right.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Let me ask you this. Let me ask the Justin Fields.
I just can't let this go. I can't let it
go because everybody swears up and down it's everybody else's fault,
and I'm just asking you now I'm hearing people. Was
it Marcus Spears said he can't He's not a starting
quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
The owner says, on the record, in front of.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Everybody, if we can just complete a pass where everything
was good, where do you go here? Seriously with Justin Fields?
Is there a place for him? Is he just a backup?
Has has his window closed? Or is there somebody else
who thinks they can get something out of the kid.
That's what I really want to know, because it doesn't
look like he's going to play with the Jets.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
It doesn't look like that to me, I think.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Justin has the wrong talent to develop into a quarterback.
But he looked broken in that press conference. He looked
like the criticism of ridicule in Chicago and then being
successful in Pittsburgh and losing his job when Russell Wilson
got back healthy like, he just looked broken, didn't he

(28:46):
He looked like, I got my money, I've had enough
if they played me cool, if they don't cool, And
I don't know that that's not a good thing if
you're a young quarterback still trying to prove yourself in
this league.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
And also, I mean, his comments bother me.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean, and I get it, you know he's a
man of faith, but I'm not knocking that right.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
But the whole thing was, at the end of.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
The day, you know, it's just a game and it
doesn't really matter factor into the real scope of life.
I just don't think you know, you're competing. I get
all that, but you're trying to compete in trying to win.
People don't really want to hear that that at the
end of the day, it's just a game and it
doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of life.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Just is that the mindset to have.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
I agree with you, which is rare row. But I
tell guys this, if it don't mean anything, then get
them money back and great, right, But if you don't
collect the check every Monday, then that check has an
obligation attached to it for you go out and to
the best of your ability trying and do your job.
And he's not playing at a high level. So I mean,

(29:52):
that was a part of it that I was like,
I mean, come on, justin, let's keep it a bucket.
Though you're collecting that money every Monday, they expect him
to get, you know, level for production from the position,
and that's not happening. So that's not a religion thing.
That's a performance thing.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
No doubt. Hey, Sean Man, we appreciate it as always.

Speaker 7 (30:08):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Who you got On the World Series?

Speaker 1 (30:10):

twenty five pitches in the first first period of any
Thank you very much?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Who do you have? And how many games? Real quick?

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I had my sports wrong, lemb me. I told you
that Stanley Cup was going back to Canada. That didn't happen.
It's still in Florida. The World Series is going back
to Canada.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I got Blue Jays and six All right, there you go,
all right, man, alight, all right, Sean King. They're great
to have him on that. Sean King knows what he's
talking about. Man, you know about to be wrong. We'll
see about that.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
There's somebody who's saying y'all just didn't understand Daniel Jones.
We'll tell you exactly who and why they said it.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Somebody had something complimentary to say about Daniel Jones. The
only thing is, and I think, rob if I'm just
made guess may feel me on this. Why didn't you
expect us to think we'll tell you what me talking
about just a second?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
That is right.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
On Thursday, colch receiver Michael Pittman Junior made the round.
He spoke to Sirius XM and NFL Raider to discuss,
you know, the Cult of the Feeld. Good story of
the season so far, they've been really, really good. Daniel
Jones has had a breakout first you know, third of
the season, and when asked about him, Pittman said, quote,
when he came in talking about Jones, there was a

(32:14):
bunch of negative media. I always thought of Daniel's a
good quarterback. He wasn't a great system to help to succeed,
but I always thought he was super tough, tough guy,
took a lot of sacks, used the stand in the pocket,
delivered throw stuff like that. I was excited for him,
and then he got here and he was nothing like
what the media portrayed.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Him out to be.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
And I could just never understand why Dan was overheted
where he was at prior Rob.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
What were what were we supposed to think we I'm
sure he's a swell teammate. Sure he's a good guy.
Sure he's a nice guy. I'm sure he's great in
the locker room. I'm talking about Daniel Jones on the field,
the same Daniel Jones the last two years he was hurt.
One year he played six games, you know what, he
went those six games one in five. The next year,

(32:58):
which was last season, played ten games.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know what. He was rob two and eight, three
and thirteen.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
You're talking about only having in those sixteen games ten
to passing touchdowns two in the year before. What were
we supposed to That's not a bad rep. That's what
we're seeing. That's what we're seeing. They got rid of
for him, the guy who actually was good in Saquan.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
We saw that last year.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
So why would we not acknowledge that that the guy
you got rid of has an MVP caliber type season
Offensive Player of the Year. The guy you kept is
having a bum year. That's not being mean, that's not overthinking.
That's seeing what's in front of us.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
What are we supposed to say? He was overheted? Right,
that's what he said overhead. But the Giants picked him
over sa Quad? How was he overheted? People didn't like that.
They couldn't win games like that, that overheted? No, his
quarterblack play wasn't great.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
They didn't win games. I don't know what what what
were people supposed to throw him a parade? What were
they supposed to do?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (34:10):
This one, this one is there's other people you can say,
like some people will say Russell Westbrook his career is
starting to be overheted and black.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Okay, I can get that right.

Speaker 5 (34:19):
He was an MVP, he'd been to a finals before,
Like you could, okay, I get people maybe in a
little critical of Russ we could have a conversation. Daniel
Jones hadn't done anything even the Pro Bowl year Robbie
at fifteen touchdowns. It was one of those and you
ain't going, you ain't going, You ain't going, Daniel Jones,
you want to go to the Pro Bowl?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
All right, I'll go.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
And the year that he got that contract was off
of that playoff win against the Vikings. Yep, he threw
over three hundred yards those two years, both against the Vikings,
who had the worst defense in the league.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
That that's what it was. There was nothing else there.
So I'm not mad at him sticking up. I get
it right, he's gonna stick up for his teammate. This
is this new guy.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
They're six and one, they're feeling good. Life's good.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
But man, like, don't this is one me and you
always talk about don't put it on us. Wait, don't
make it. We're being bad. We're over think we're the
negative from the media. No, it's based on this is
strike up.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
What he's doing and how he's performing, how this team
is playing. That's it. That's strict, that's it. That's unbelievable.
He got out of this. Yeah, just break it down
for what we just witnessed.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Bases loaded, one out, Piez strikes out on a nasty
three to two pitch out of the zone, down low,
and then he gets show heyed ground to first base
with the basis load.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Way to get out of that, because that could have been.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Tany oh for two already batting average was two fourteen
before that at bat.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
But he's the greatest baseball player ever played. I'm just saying,
are you calling him showy, oh for tany show. It's
a long series.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yeah, he'll come and you know that I was good,
But hope that was great to get out of that.
That's a game, a double, but that could that could
change the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Basic loaded and Piez though, like that wasn't bad at
bat in the postseason, now O four eleven with runners
in scoring position, that that you can't have.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
He's been for eleven, he's not been.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
Uh great, you should have hurt us back in the
control room. It's like, I hope he walks him so
that Rob can freak out on the air again.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
That the Dodgers getting free runs from doing nothing. Well,
how many times I gotta watch it this postseason.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
That's my favorite part of doing radio, whether you're doing
this MB postseason as you being mad at the other
team for something that they did.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Why would you throw the first now? Why would you
throw home? Why would you remember? I threw my phone?
You threw your phone? I can't remember which incident that was.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
When there is that, Kelvin will be going off for
like three or four minutes on whatever the take is,
and we deliberately put the game on both sides of
the studio so that Rob could be facing Kelvin Hanstilty
of the game. But na, Rob still looking this way,
and I got YouTube gets to see it. I've been
telling y'all, don't let it be the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
And stuff back.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
I can tell you exactly what your Barbera did today.
He faded you been back a little taper in the
back because all I see is the back of your head.
Then let me tell you, Rob, I just think the MLB,
and I think and Daniel Jones, this is what you
look like YouTube. You see me right now, just the
back of your head. Huh well, yeah, I think Aaron Rodgers. Great, Sorry,
we're talking about We're not even talking about football right now, Rob, Well,

(37:17):
we had to update the World Series. No, no, no,
that was a big sequence. That was huge they got
out of that. No, that could have been really ugly.
Like I said, even if you just the Dodger get
three runs out of it, that could be you know,
because again it's a team the Dodgers, who haven't put
up a lot of runs.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
They get three in the first you know, a couple
of years.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
And that's been my argument is that they haven't you
know what I mean, they haven't been scoring a lot
of runs.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
So we got to talk more about the NBA scandal.
We'll do it next
