Speaker 1 (00:00):
It was an incredibly busy weekend by the Minnesota Vikings
front office signing backup quarterback Carson Wentz. And I'm gonna
explain why a major trade is about to go down
for the Vikings very very soon. But let's start with
(00:21):
Carson Wentz. The Minnesota Vikings worked out Carson Wentz this
weekend in Egan and liked what they saw, so they
signed Carson Wentz to a one year, one million dollar deal.
And they also trade backup quarterback Sam Howe to the
(00:48):
Philadelphia Eagles. And they had to give up some capital
to get Sam Howe and their trade with the Seahawks,
but they regained that capital and then some by getting
what they got from the Eagles a fifth round pick,
a seventh round pick. So the Sam Howel trade was
(01:12):
basically a wash. And here's when that trade went down.
The Sam Howel trade went down in the second preseason
game when he twisted and turned his body, he tried
to spin out of the pocket, he launched a ball
up for grabs and it was intercepted. That play has
(01:37):
not escaped the mind of Kevin O'Connell. That play in
and of itself changed the direction of the Vikings for
their backup quarterback spot because Kevin o'connt in that moment
no longer trusted Sam Hum. Now as far as as
(02:00):
the conversation with Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz, this is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He has been with six teams in.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The past six seasons, and you take a look at
these teams and they're not bad teams twenty twenty Philadelphia,
twenty twenty one, Indianapolis, twenty twenty two, Washington, twenty twenty three,
La Rams, and twenty twenty four Kansas City Chiefs. And
(02:34):
an interesting nugget about Carson Wentz didn't even know he's
from North Dakota and he grew up as a Vikings fan.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Have you ever heard that before? And what's also interesting
is that he was.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
The former teammate of coach Josh McCown and he knows
the Vikings system because he was with the Rams in
twenty twenty three and Sean McVeigh and Kevin o'coonn'll run
practically the same offensive system.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But what stands out to me above.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
All of Carson Wentz's previous teams and the system is
the date that Carson Wentz was signed. Because he was
signed officially on the Vikings roster on August twenty fourth,
(03:28):
and we cannot overlook the date of the signing because
the date of the signing tells you a ton about
that player's interest around the league. If Carson Wentz had
it his way, if all the stars aligned in Carson Wentz'
(03:50):
his mind, he would not have signed with the Vikings
on August twenty fourth, but rather he would have been
with a team.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Months ago.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
While mandatory OTAs were going on. But the interest from
other teams was very limited, or at least it was
not what he wanted. Maybe Carson Wentz was looking for
a quarterback availability where he could potentially start. Well, that's
(04:33):
not happening in Minnesota, and maybe that's why he waited
this long to sign and work out with the Vikings.
Or maybe the Chiefs, the Rams, the Eagles, the Colts
of the Command. Maybe they didn't want him back as
their backup quarterback. But the fact that he was coached
(04:55):
by Andy Reid, Sean McVeigh and now Kevin O'Connell tells.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Me that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
The brightest minds in the NFL wanted Carson Wentz as
their backup quarterback. So Carson Wentz has a legitimate amount
of skills to fulfill their role as backup quarterback. And
(05:27):
sometimes I see the backup quarterback position getting made fun of.
And I saw someone post if Carson Wentz is in
the game, the season is practically over for the Vikings anyway,
and I.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Don't agree with that statement.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I believe that the backup quarterback position has become one
of the most important positions in the NFL because what
NFL front office is recognized, if our starting quarterback is
injured for a certain amount of time, we don't want
(06:09):
our team to be completely screwed if he does get injured.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So you see many teams.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Placing a huge importance on that backup quarterback position, and
I think that's what the Vikings are doing. McCarthy missed
the entire season last year, and if he is injured again,
you want someone that is more trustworthy than Sam Howell,
(06:37):
and that's why they traded him and brought in Carson Wentz.
So although he was signed August twenty fourth, and that
says a lot about a player's interest around the league,
I do believe that this was the right decision.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And this brings me to my next point.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Carson Wentz has been slandered for years in the NFL.
I think many people forget that Carson Wentz was going
to win the MVP the year the Egos won the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was a guarantee. And then he got hurt, and
then Nick.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Folesteps In wins the Super Bowl, and then Carson Wentz
couldn't get over those demons of Nick falls winning the
Super Bowl. I mean, think about it. Think about it
in your own personal life. If you're having the greatest
business year of your life, making deals left and right,
(07:43):
and then all of a sudden you need a surgery
for a herniated disk and you're out months, and then
your replacement comes in and makes the biggest deal of
his life, and then you're to come back and fill
those shoes. This replacement becomes the CEO, and then he come.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Back to work. Do you think there's a little pressure there?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Nick Foles wins the Super Bowl for the Eagles, and
then Carson Wentz comes back and becomes the starter.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's like Nick Foles just won the Super Bowl. The
backup just had one of.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The craziest all time runs in NFL history as a
backup quarterback. And then Carson Wentz could never could never
regain that confidence that that strut the ability to dominate
a game like he once did. And Carson Wentz his
(08:44):
last full season starting with the Colts, he had twenty
seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. Those are really really good numbers.
And here's the problem that people have with Wentz and
this has really followed him throughout these past few seasons
(09:06):
of his career.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Carson Wentz, he.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Has a few mind blowing idiotic plays that gets the
fan questioning, what the heck were you doing? What kind
of idiotic play or performance was that? What were you thinking?
And those plays have applied to the rest of his career.
(09:31):
Just like a Patrick Mahomes behind the back pass can
apply to the rest of his career, or a no
look pass that still gets to play from a few
years ago applies to the rest of his career, Carson
Wentz has had a few just mind blowing dumb plays
and those plays have applied to the rest of his career,
(09:51):
regardless of the performance that he actually puts out on
the field. Because Carson Wentz can play football, and that's
why you've seen him coached by Andy Reid and Sean
McVay you see the brightest oviensive minds bring in Carson
Wentz as their backup quarterback, and the backup quarterback position
(10:15):
has never been more valued by the smartest minds in
football than it is right now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You take a look.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
At Carson Wentz's touchdown to interception ratio and this is
about to blow your mind. Carson Wentz's touchdown to interception
ratio is two point two eight, meaning Carson Wentz has
thrown about two point two eight touchdowns per every interception.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In his NFL career. That is a better.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Touchdown to interception ratio than Peyton Manning and Joe Montana,
who was thrown to the greatest wide receiver that has
ever existed. Peyton man touchdown to interception ratio throughout his
career was two point one point five and Joe Montana's
(11:07):
touchdown to interception ratio was one point nine to seven.
Of course, Carson Wentz is not those players, but it
takes the recklessness that has thought of about Carson Wentz.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And puts it in proper.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Context because many people think that Carson Wentz can't play,
but he takes care of the football.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He is careful with the football, has a very good.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Touchdown interception ratio better than two Hall of Famers. Yet
the stereotype of Carson Wentz is that he's reckless, and
that's not true. So the player that sticks out to
me in comparison to Carson Wentz is JaVale McGee. JaVale
(11:58):
McGee was made fun of on Shackton a fool for
years by the TNT Boys, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neill, Kenny,
the Jets Smith Ernie Johnson. JaVale McGee was one of
the most made funnel players in the league because of
(12:19):
these random, idiotic decisions that looked funny on the basketball court.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But the truth is, Javelle McGee could play.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
He is one of the most electric shot blockers in
the league, and he could have run down the court
faster than any center and he guided helped guide Stephen
Curry and the Warriors to two championship rins. Javelle McGee
could play, But you bring up that name and people
(12:50):
are gonna make fun of them.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And that's the same with Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Carson Wentz can play in the NFL at a high level.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And he has proven that he can do it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But there's this stereotype because he's had a couple plays
throughout his career that he can't play.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But the truth is he can.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
All right, let me tell you about five Star Bass
Solutions of Minneapolis, because they transformed our bathroom in forty
eight hours, the entire thing, from a new floor, to
a new bathtub, to a new shower. We got a
new vanity countertomps went from a single to a double
zinc and a new mirror. Five Star Bass Solutions of
(13:30):
Minneapolis your modeled our entire bathroom. And that's their promise
for you as well. Five Star bas Solutions of Minneapolis
didn't just remodel our entire bathroom.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They did it in forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Don't win eight weeks When five Star Bass Solutions of
Minneapolis will get your bathroom done in forty eight hours.
It's gonna happen. And that's their promise. They're guarantee free
consultations and affordable payment plans. Five Star Solutions of minneapol Us.
All right, what's next? A big Minnesota Vikings trade is
(14:08):
about to go down. Here is the list of the
draft capital the Minnesota Vikings have available to them in
twenty twenty six. A first round pick, a second round pick,
(14:30):
a third round pick, another third round pick, three fifth
round picks, two sixth round picks, and a seventh round pick.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Here's my guarantee.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's ten picks available for the Vikings in twenty twenty six.
The Vikings have no interest in keeping ten of those picks.
And here's why. Adopho Menza has made a clear change
(15:06):
in direction these past few years. Instead of trading down
and collecting draft capital, I'm gonna trade up and give
myself a higher probability of selecting a player that can play.
We've seen that this past year. They didn't trade up,
(15:30):
but their grade was lowered by ESPN because they didn't
trade down and instead selected Donovan Jackson.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And I approve of.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That strategy one hundred times out of one hundred because
I would rather the Viking stick and select a player
that they believe in, a player that they think will
be great, rather than trade down ten spots select two
guys that might be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And we saw it two years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
The Vikings traded up one spot at the draft McCarthy
and they traded up to select Dallas Turner. Now we
still need to figure out if these guys can play.
We still need to figure that out. However, his aggressiveness
has changed. His strategic approach to the draft has changed.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Quessei has no.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Interest in having two thirds, three fifths, and two sixth
round picks. He's collected this draft capital so that he
can trade for a receiver, maybe Adam Thieling in the
coming days. What's so interesting about it is the Panthers'
interest in keeping Adam Feeling because the wide receiver core
(16:46):
on the Panthers is young, and Adam Deeeling might not
be wide receiver one, but he brings a wealth of
experience to the table filled with young wide receivers. So
the Panthers aren't willing just to give him up for
practically nothing. So the Vikings they collected draft capital, They
(17:06):
traded Sam Howell and got a fifth. They got the
comp from Sam Darnold, they got the comp from Daniel Jones,
and here we are. They've got ten picks in twenty
twenty six. They have no interest in keeping this many picks.
Quessei is about to pull off a trade to bring
(17:28):
in a wide receiver. That is my guarantee. What the
right who the wide receiver is? It appears that their
minds have been set on Adam Thielen and are providing
the Panthers draft capital to get Adam Thielen back in
a trade. Or maybe their eyes are set on someone
else that requires draft capital like this to get so
(17:53):
an interesting story to follow in something that you need
to keep your eyes on, because the Viking are about
to make a trade for who.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We don't know, but a trade is about to go down.
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Let me tell you about Hoakland Farms beef because they
have the best rotationally grays one grass fed beef. Contact
Jared at nine five two four one five four one.
That's nine five two four nine one one five four
one for the best rotationally grays one hundred percent grass
fed beef.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It's better for you and it's financially responsible.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You go to the grocery store for steaks and chuck
gross you're looking at nine to ten dollars a pound.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Hoakland Farm Beef has.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
A flat rate of roughly four dollars a pound for
all their beef, steaks, chuck, roast, ribs, hamburger beef and more.
Contact Hoakland Farms and til Jared Tim sent you and
you'll give you twenty percent off your first order nine
five two four nine one five four one twenty percent
off your first order.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Contact Hokland Farms right now N four four one. All right.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
A story that has been really the storyline of preseason
football outside of J. J. McCarthy playing one series, has
been Max Brosmer. And by all indications, it would appear
(19:26):
that Max is going to make the Vikings roster. As
QB three, they trace Sam how Bringing, Carson Wentz and
Max Brosmer.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
He deserves to make the Vikings roster.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
He has played sensationally throughout preseason, and you watch.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What he has been able to do.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
During his time on the field, and some of the
time he's had on the field has been with the
Vikings threes going against the Titans ones. So the stuff
he is doing on the field has been electric and elite.
The timing, the anticipation, the accuracy. Brosmer has showcased all
(20:16):
of it. And he has been at a severe disadvantage
because of who he's playing with, because of who he's
getting these reps with, and because of who he is
competing against, Titans ones. And it makes me come away
with this conclusion. If Max Brosmer is given an opportunity
(20:43):
to play. It's not gonna be this season, and he
is not gonna be the backup to McCarthy because that's
Carson Wentz's job. And he is never going to be
the backup to McCarthy because you're not gonna put a
first year starter on the field and then put an
undrafted free agent quarterback on the field after him.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And never would in a million years, because the semantics
just don't feel right. For the Vikings, it might be
the right decision, but as far as the Vikings and
their decision making process, they don't feel good about it.
And I can and I guaranteed that. That's why I
said how would be the backup? Until this trade and
(21:23):
signing happened, Brosmer was never gonna be the guy. But
if Brosmer Prosmer is given a fair opportunity to play
in the NFL, he will be an elite quarterback. If
(21:46):
Brosmer is given the keys to an offense.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And is given.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Trust by a head coach within the organization, Brosemer will
be a very very very good to great NFL quarterback. Ohid,
And here's why Brosemer combines multiple things within his game
(22:16):
that quarterbacks dream of, and it's so easy to see
on the tape when you watch the game.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's so easy.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Brosemer combines an elite level of accuracy and anticipation. So
many quarterbacks want to throw the ball before a wide
receiver breaks, and many of them are called to do it. However,
(22:46):
there's a couple of problems with that. One, they don't
trust it. They don't trust that the receiver is going
to break, they don't trust their own arm. And two,
they don't have the accuracy to pull it off. So
one they don't have the trust, they don't have the
guns a mentality, they don't have the anticipation skills, and
two they.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Don't have the accuracy to pull it off.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
There's a throw that Alec Lewis highlighted on his Twitter page,
the writer for The Athletic, a Brozmar throw he had
versus the Titans.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I think he threw it to Lucky Jackson.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Lucky Jackson wasn't even turned around yet and he threw
it three yards before he turned around, hit him right
in the chest, turned around first down against the Titans.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Once found the.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Seam in the defense when you see throws like that,
I see a successful NFL player. And then he had
another dart that was about thirty to forty yards down
the field to the sideline in between the corner and safety.
Not many quarterbacks are making that pass. And the reason
why the Vikings released Brett Ripon and are trying to
(23:52):
get him to the practice squad is because they know
if they released Max Brosmer and try to get him
to the practice squad, it's an impossible task. At this
point in time, I would not be surprised if Max
Rosmer had a more successful career than J. J.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And it's really a shot at NFL organizations across the
league because if they knew Brosmer had this skill set
of anticipation and accuracy, which, to be fair, wasn't necessarily
showcased all.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
The time.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
At the Gophers program because PJ. Fleck likes to run
the ball and throwing is not a huge emphasis within
the Gophers program. But if teams knew that Brosmer combined
the skill set that he showcased in the preseason, he
(24:55):
would have been a third or fourth round pick easily easily.
And you look at the best undrafted qbs to play
in the league. Kurt Warner, he's got the movie about them,
Warren Moon, former Vikings great at one point, Tony Romo.
NFL organizations missed on quarterbacks all the time, all the time.
(25:18):
So you've got to be careful when you look at
these teams and you don't question their decision making, because
their decision making is as much a guess as we have.
I mean, seriously, they with all the time on first trundbacks,
and they study the tape, they interviewed the guy, they
(25:39):
know their history, they talk to their coaches, and they
still without all these guys. So one thing that I
am so opinionated on is general managers. As much as
they want to hoist themselves up as being this expert
and knowing how this player functions and knowing good players
(26:01):
from bad players and great from poor ones.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's like they have no freaking clue. They have no
idea who's gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
They try to put together this list of players they
think will be good and put together the probability of
good or this, and you look at this and they
have no freaking idea.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's why you see so many.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Busts in the first round of the NFL draft, you
see so many guys that can't play, and you see
a twenty twenty two NFL draft class by the Vikings
that is one of the worst in history because there's
like two guys left on that team, ty Chandler and
Jalen Naylor.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And I mean, it's like, be careful when you see.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Decision makers within the league poist themselves up as being experts,
because they're not. They have no freaking clue. And Max
Brosmer is a recent example of this. What do you
have showcased in the preseason is quite alarming because thirty
two NFL teams, including the Vikings, passed on him in
(27:08):
the NFL Draft, and Brosemer, in my opinion, is going
to be a very good quarterback in the NFL. When
I watched Brosemer play, there's not a single part of
me that thinks that he's not Rock Party, and Rock
Party has taken the forty nine ers to multiple Super Bowls.
(27:30):
When I watched Broseman play, there's not a throw where
I'm like, Eh, McCarthy would have made that throw. So
keep an eye out for Brosmer because what he did
in the preseason was phenomenal and it was very very
interesting to watch and follow. So watch the progression on
(27:52):
him and the development of him within the Vikings organization,
and also follow McCarthy. Because of McCarthy's stinks and is
a bust well be throwing Brozmark, give him.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
A chance in a year or two. Thanks for joining

It was an incredibly busy weekend by the Minnesota Vikings
front office signing backup quarterback Carson Wentz. And I'm gonna
explain why a major trade is about to go down
for the Vikings very very soon. But let's start with
(00:21):
Carson Wentz. The Minnesota Vikings worked out Carson Wentz this
weekend in Egan and liked what they saw, so they
signed Carson Wentz to a one year, one million dollar deal.
And they also trade backup quarterback Sam Howe to the
(00:48):
Philadelphia Eagles. And they had to give up some capital
to get Sam Howe and their trade with the Seahawks,
but they regained that capital and then some by getting
what they got from the Eagles a fifth round pick,
a seventh round pick. So the Sam Howel trade was
(01:12):
basically a wash. And here's when that trade went down.
The Sam Howel trade went down in the second preseason
game when he twisted and turned his body, he tried
to spin out of the pocket, he launched a ball
up for grabs and it was intercepted. That play has
(01:37):
not escaped the mind of Kevin O'Connell. That play in
and of itself changed the direction of the Vikings for
their backup quarterback spot because Kevin o'connt in that moment
no longer trusted Sam Hum. Now as far as as
(02:00):
the conversation with Carson Wentz, Carson Wentz, this is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He has been with six teams in.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The past six seasons, and you take a look at
these teams and they're not bad teams twenty twenty Philadelphia,
twenty twenty one, Indianapolis, twenty twenty two, Washington, twenty twenty three,
La Rams, and twenty twenty four Kansas City Chiefs. And
(02:34):
an interesting nugget about Carson Wentz didn't even know he's
from North Dakota and he grew up as a Vikings fan.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Have you ever heard that before? And what's also interesting
is that he was.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
The former teammate of coach Josh McCown and he knows
the Vikings system because he was with the Rams in
twenty twenty three and Sean McVeigh and Kevin o'coonn'll run
practically the same offensive system.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But what stands out to me above.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
All of Carson Wentz's previous teams and the system is

signed officially on the Vikings roster on August twenty fourth,
(03:28):
and we cannot overlook the date of the signing because
the date of the signing tells you a ton about
that player's interest around the league. If Carson Wentz had
it his way, if all the stars aligned in Carson Wentz'
(03:50):

(04:33):
not happening in Minnesota, and maybe that's why he waited
this long to sign and work out with the Vikings.
Or maybe the Chiefs, the Rams, the Eagles, the Colts
of the Command. Maybe they didn't want him back as
their backup quarterback. But the fact that he was coached
(04:55):
by Andy Reid, Sean McVeigh and now Kevin O'Connell tells.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Me that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
The brightest minds in the NFL wanted Carson Wentz as

of skills to fulfill their role as backup quarterback. And
(05:27):
sometimes I see the backup quarterback position getting made fun of.
And I saw someone post if Carson Wentz is in

and I.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Don't agree with that statement.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I believe that the backup quarterback position has become one
of the most important positions in the NFL because what
NFL front office is recognized, if our starting quarterback is
injured for a certain amount of time, we don't want
(06:09):
our team to be completely screwed if he does get injured.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So you see many teams.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Placing a huge importance on that backup quarterback position, and
I think that's what the Vikings are doing. McCarthy missed
the entire season last year, and if he is injured again,
you want someone that is more trustworthy than Sam Howell,
(06:37):
and that's why they traded him and brought in Carson Wentz.
So although he was signed August twenty fourth, and that
says a lot about a player's interest around the league,
I do believe that this was the right decision.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And this brings me to my next point.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Carson Wentz has been slandered for years in the NFL.
I think many people forget that Carson Wentz was going
to win the MVP the year the Egos won the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was a guarantee. And then he got hurt, and
then Nick.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Folesteps In wins the Super Bowl, and then Carson Wentz
couldn't get over those demons of Nick falls winning the
Super Bowl. I mean, think about it. Think about it
in your own personal life. If you're having the greatest
business year of your life, making deals left and right,
(07:43):
and then all of a sudden you need a surgery
for a herniated disk and you're out months, and then
your replacement comes in and makes the biggest deal of
his life, and then you're to come back and fill
those shoes. This replacement becomes the CEO, and then he come.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Back to work. Do you think there's a little pressure there?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Nick Foles wins the Super Bowl for the Eagles, and
then Carson Wentz comes back and becomes the starter.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's like Nick Foles just won the Super Bowl. The
backup just had one of.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The craziest all time runs in NFL history as a
backup quarterback. And then Carson Wentz could never could never
regain that confidence that that strut the ability to dominate
a game like he once did. And Carson Wentz his
(08:44):
last full season starting with the Colts, he had twenty
seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. Those are really really good numbers.
And here's the problem that people have with Wentz and
this has really followed him throughout these past few seasons
(09:06):
of his career.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Carson Wentz, he.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Has a few mind blowing idiotic plays that gets the
fan questioning, what the heck were you doing? What kind
of idiotic play or performance was that? What were you thinking?
And those plays have applied to the rest of his career.
(09:31):
Just like a Patrick Mahomes behind the back pass can
apply to the rest of his career, or a no
look pass that still gets to play from a few
years ago applies to the rest of his career, Carson
Wentz has had a few just mind blowing dumb plays
and those plays have applied to the rest of his career,
(09:51):
regardless of the performance that he actually puts out on
the field. Because Carson Wentz can play football, and that's
why you've seen him coached by Andy Reid and Sean
McVay you see the brightest oviensive minds bring in Carson
Wentz as their backup quarterback, and the backup quarterback position
(10:15):
has never been more valued by the smartest minds in
football than it is right now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You take a look.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
At Carson Wentz's touchdown to interception ratio and this is
about to blow your mind. Carson Wentz's touchdown to interception
ratio is two point two eight, meaning Carson Wentz has
thrown about two point two eight touchdowns per every interception.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In his NFL career. That is a better.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Touchdown to interception ratio than Peyton Manning and Joe Montana,
who was thrown to the greatest wide receiver that has
ever existed. Peyton man touchdown to interception ratio throughout his
career was two point one point five and Joe Montana's
(11:07):
touchdown to interception ratio was one point nine to seven.
Of course, Carson Wentz is not those players, but it
takes the recklessness that has thought of about Carson Wentz.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And puts it in proper.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Context because many people think that Carson Wentz can't play,
but he takes care of the football.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
He is careful with the football, has a very good.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Touchdown interception ratio better than two Hall of Famers. Yet
the stereotype of Carson Wentz is that he's reckless, and
that's not true. So the player that sticks out to
me in comparison to Carson Wentz is JaVale McGee. JaVale
(11:58):
McGee was made fun of on Shackton a fool for
years by the TNT Boys, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neill, Kenny,
the Jets Smith Ernie Johnson. JaVale McGee was one of
the most made funnel players in the league because of
(12:19):
these random, idiotic decisions that looked funny on the basketball court.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But the truth is, Javelle McGee could play.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
He is one of the most electric shot blockers in
the league, and he could have run down the court
faster than any center and he guided helped guide Stephen
Curry and the Warriors to two championship rins. Javelle McGee
could play, But you bring up that name and people
(12:50):
are gonna make fun of them.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And that's the same with Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Carson Wentz can play in the NFL at a high level.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And he has proven that he can do it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But there's this stereotype because he's had a couple plays
throughout his career that he can't play.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But the truth is he can.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
All right, let me tell you about five Star Bass
Solutions of Minneapolis, because they transformed our bathroom in forty
eight hours, the entire thing, from a new floor, to
a new bathtub, to a new shower. We got a
new vanity countertomps went from a single to a double
zinc and a new mirror. Five Star Bass Solutions of

Minneapolis your modeled our entire bathroom. And that's their promise
for you as well. Five Star bas Solutions of Minneapolis
didn't just remodel our entire bathroom.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
They did it in forty eight hours.

Don't win eight weeks When five Star Bass Solutions of
Minneapolis will get your bathroom done in forty eight hours.
It's gonna happen. And that's their promise. They're guarantee free
consultations and affordable payment plans. Five Star Solutions of minneapol Us.
All right, what's next? A big Minnesota Vikings trade is
(14:08):
about to go down. Here is the list of the
draft capital the Minnesota Vikings have available to them in
twenty twenty six. A first round pick, a second round pick,
(14:30):
a third round pick, another third round pick, three fifth
round picks, two sixth round picks, and a seventh round pick.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Here's my guarantee.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's ten picks available for the Vikings in twenty twenty six.
The Vikings have no interest in keeping ten of those picks.
And here's why. Adopho Menza has made a clear change
(15:06):
in direction these past few years. Instead of trading down
and collecting draft capital, I'm gonna trade up and give
myself a higher probability of selecting a player that can play.
We've seen that this past year. They didn't trade up,
(15:30):
but their grade was lowered by ESPN because they didn't
trade down and instead selected Donovan Jackson.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And I approve of.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That strategy one hundred times out of one hundred because
I would rather the Viking stick and select a player
that they believe in, a player that they think will
be great, rather than trade down ten spots select two
guys that might be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And we saw it two years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
The Vikings traded up one spot at the draft McCarthy
and they traded up to select Dallas Turner. Now we
still need to figure out if these guys can play.
We still need to figure that out. However, his aggressiveness
has changed. His strategic approach to the draft has changed.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Quessei has no.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Interest in having two thirds, three fifths, and two sixth
round picks. He's collected this draft capital so that he
can trade for a receiver, maybe Adam Thieling in the
coming days. What's so interesting about it is the Panthers'
interest in keeping Adam Feeling because the wide receiver core
(16:46):
on the Panthers is young, and Adam Deeeling might not
be wide receiver one, but he brings a wealth of
experience to the table filled with young wide receivers. So
the Panthers aren't willing just to give him up for
practically nothing. So the Vikings they collected draft capital, They
(17:06):
traded Sam Howell and got a fifth. They got the
comp from Sam Darnold, they got the comp from Daniel Jones,
and here we are. They've got ten picks in twenty
twenty six. They have no interest in keeping this many picks.
Quessei is about to pull off a trade to bring
(17:28):
in a wide receiver. That is my guarantee. What the
right who the wide receiver is? It appears that their
minds have been set on Adam Thielen and are providing
the Panthers draft capital to get Adam Thielen back in
a trade. Or maybe their eyes are set on someone
else that requires draft capital like this to get so
(17:53):
an interesting story to follow in something that you need
to keep your eyes on, because the Viking are about
to make a trade for who.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We don't know, but a trade is about to go down.
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Let me tell you about Hoakland Farms beef because they
have the best rotationally grays one grass fed beef. Contact
Jared at nine five two four one five four one.
That's nine five two four nine one one five four

gross you're looking at nine to ten dollars a pound.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
A story that has been really the storyline of preseason
football outside of J. J. McCarthy playing one series, has
been Max Brosmer. And by all indications, it would appear
(19:26):
that Max is going to make the Vikings roster. As
QB three, they trace Sam how Bringing, Carson Wentz and
Max Brosmer.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
He deserves to make the Vikings roster.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
He has played sensationally throughout preseason, and you watch.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What he has been able to do.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
During his time on the field, and some of the
time he's had on the field has been with the
Vikings threes going against the Titans ones. So the stuff
he is doing on the field has been electric and elite.
The timing, the anticipation, the accuracy. Brosmer has showcased all
(20:16):
of it. And he has been at a severe disadvantage
because of who he's playing with, because of who he's
getting these reps with, and because of who he is
competing against, Titans ones. And it makes me come away
with this conclusion. If Max Brosmer is given an opportunity
(20:43):
to play. It's not gonna be this season, and he
is not gonna be the backup to McCarthy because that's
Carson Wentz's job. And he is never going to be
the backup to McCarthy because you're not gonna put a
first year starter on the field and then put an
undrafted free agent quarterback on the field after him.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And never would in a million years, because the semantics
just don't feel right. For the Vikings, it might be
the right decision, but as far as the Vikings and
their decision making process, they don't feel good about it.
And I can and I guaranteed that. That's why I
said how would be the backup? Until this trade and
(21:23):
signing happened, Brosmer was never gonna be the guy. But
if Brosmer Prosmer is given a fair opportunity to play
in the NFL, he will be an elite quarterback. If
(21:46):
Brosmer is given the keys to an offense.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And is given.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Trust by a head coach within the organization, Brosemer will
be a very very very good to great NFL quarterback. Ohid,
And here's why Brosemer combines multiple things within his game
(22:16):
that quarterbacks dream of, and it's so easy to see
on the tape when you watch the game.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's so easy.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Brosemer combines an elite level of accuracy and anticipation. So
many quarterbacks want to throw the ball before a wide
receiver breaks, and many of them are called to do it. However,
(22:46):
there's a couple of problems with that. One, they don't
trust it. They don't trust that the receiver is going
to break, they don't trust their own arm. And two,
they don't have the accuracy to pull it off. So
one they don't have the trust, they don't have the
guns a mentality, they don't have the anticipation skills, and
two they.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Don't have the accuracy to pull it off.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
There's a throw that Alec Lewis highlighted on his Twitter page,
the writer for The Athletic, a Brozmar throw he had
versus the Titans.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I think he threw it to Lucky Jackson.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Lucky Jackson wasn't even turned around yet and he threw
it three yards before he turned around, hit him right
in the chest, turned around first down against the Titans.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Once found the.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Seam in the defense when you see throws like that,
I see a successful NFL player. And then he had
another dart that was about thirty to forty yards down
the field to the sideline in between the corner and safety.
Not many quarterbacks are making that pass. And the reason
why the Vikings released Brett Ripon and are trying to
(23:52):
get him to the practice squad is because they know
if they released Max Brosmer and try to get him
to the practice squad, it's an impossible task. At this
point in time, I would not be surprised if Max
Rosmer had a more successful career than J. J.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And it's really a shot at NFL organizations across the
league because if they knew Brosmer had this skill set
of anticipation and accuracy, which, to be fair, wasn't necessarily
showcased all.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
The time.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
At the Gophers program because PJ. Fleck likes to run
the ball and throwing is not a huge emphasis within
the Gophers program. But if teams knew that Brosmer combined
the skill set that he showcased in the preseason, he
(24:55):
would have been a third or fourth round pick easily easily.
And you look at the best undrafted qbs to play
in the league. Kurt Warner, he's got the movie about them,
Warren Moon, former Vikings great at one point, Tony Romo.
NFL organizations missed on quarterbacks all the time, all the time.
(25:18):
So you've got to be careful when you look at
these teams and you don't question their decision making, because
their decision making is as much a guess as we have.
I mean, seriously, they with all the time on first trundbacks,
and they study the tape, they interviewed the guy, they
(25:39):
know their history, they talk to their coaches, and they
still without all these guys. So one thing that I
am so opinionated on is general managers. As much as
they want to hoist themselves up as being this expert
and knowing how this player functions and knowing good players
(26:01):
from bad players and great from poor ones.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It's like they have no freaking clue. They have no
idea who's gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
They try to put together this list of players they
think will be good and put together the probability of
good or this, and you look at this and they
have no freaking idea.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
That's why you see so many.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Busts in the first round of the NFL draft, you
see so many guys that can't play, and you see
a twenty twenty two NFL draft class by the Vikings
that is one of the worst in history because there's
like two guys left on that team, ty Chandler and
Jalen Naylor.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And I mean, it's like, be careful when you see.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Decision makers within the league poist themselves up as being experts,
because they're not. They have no freaking clue. And Max
Brosmer is a recent example of this. What do you
have showcased in the preseason is quite alarming because thirty
two NFL teams, including the Vikings, passed on him in
(27:08):
the NFL Draft, and Brosemer, in my opinion, is going
to be a very good quarterback in the NFL. When
I watched Brosemer play, there's not a single part of
me that thinks that he's not Rock Party, and Rock
Party has taken the forty nine ers to multiple Super Bowls.
(27:30):
When I watched Broseman play, there's not a throw where
I'm like, Eh, McCarthy would have made that throw. So
keep an eye out for Brosmer because what he did
in the preseason was phenomenal and it was very very
interesting to watch and follow. So watch the progression on
(27:52):
him and the development of him within the Vikings organization,
and also follow McCarthy. Because of McCarthy's stinks and is
a bust well be throwing Brozmark, give him.
