How about that Katie from She's a teacher at the
high school that me and Ben went into the Hall
of Fame of I don't remember her. Did you have
her for any classes? No, but you and I are
so old. She was probably good. She's probably she might

(00:43):
even be younger than.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Us, definitely, probably in her twenties.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, So Katie Outlaw kicking ass at Bergner High School.
She's in the running for five thousand dollars. You can
go nominate someone right now at iHeartRadio dot com Forward
slash Teachers. But right now it's time for this.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Now, let's go around the sports KTD twins as all
the sports.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yes, all right, the athletic does it every year. Mike
Sando interviews gms and front office people and they create
the quarterback tiers. And so this is tier one obviously,
elite of elite. So if you're in the top two tiers,
that's good. If you're in the third tier, you're like,

(01:29):
all right maybe, and then when you're in four and five,
your teammate and the running baby. So they move around
depending on what they did the year before. Things like
that happen. So before I give you who the Tier
one quarterbacks are, I will tell you this. Here's the
quarterbacks that move the most. Move the most. What do

(01:49):
you mean, like going up a spot in the rankings?
Oh from last year? Yeah, Sam Darnold jumped up nine spots. Oh,
Baker Mayfield jumped up eight spots. Bryce Young jumped up four. Now,
guess do you think Dak Prescott went up or do
you think he went down? Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
He definitely went down because his hamstring fell off his leg.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yep, he dropped from nine to twelve in the rankings. Oh,
that's it. That's it. Another guy who dropped is brock
Party dropped a couple And if you were to guess,
is Dak Prescott ahead of or below Rock Party. I
think they're an interesting comparison because you know, they both

(02:35):
were low round picks and then they got their opportunities
and then they quarterbacked, you know, at a high level,
and then there was all this debate about whether or
not they should get paid. So in the rankings, do
you think Dak's higher or Brock's hire according to the
NFL gms and such, I think they think Brock is higher. Okay,
I would have thought the same in the rankings, and

(02:56):
they're both considered by the way tier two quarterbacks, which
is good. M h uh. Dak Prescott was twelve and
brock Perty was fourteen. Yeah, so I think it's solid,
you know, for the forever and ever. We would say, well,
Dak is probably a top ten quarterback, you know, if
you want to start debating if he's six or if
he's ten. So he's just right on the cusp of

(03:16):
all that.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, a couple of years ago, he was the second
best quarterback in the league. Yeah, Like he was phenomenal.
He was almost the MVP of the entire league.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
That it just depends on so many other variables, Like
you know this year they're going to be losing so much.
Their defense is going to be so bad, and I'm
not sold on their running game, but they do have
two elite number one receivers. He's gonna be thrown a
lot and guys are going to be open. He's going
to have a really good season if he can stay healthy.
And I think he's got a really good tight end,

(03:46):
and I mean I'm optimistic that the offense is a
good offense. That was one of our main complaints the
last couple of years. Yeah, the guy the got my like,
you know, I don't want to say sleeper guy, like
take him in your fantasy draft.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I'm not saying that. But guy who I think is
gonna have a huge impact this year is Turpin. Oh yeah.
He's just such a unique weapon and they're not gonna
have a traditional running game and so they're gonna do
all that West Coast stuff where he's catching it out
of the back I mean, I think he'll get handoffs too,
but I think they'll be throwing it to him out
of the backfield a lot.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
They just didn't use him right, ye know, sending him
up the field like in like the Battle for a
jump ball, he's four to seven.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, like what, I don't even understand that.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Like, but in shot he was a part of that too,
So Keach couldn't stop it from happening.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
That was all McCarthy. That's kind of the implication. But
we're gonna see here in short order.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
He's had a gadget speechter guy like this with Tevon
Austin when he was with the Rams, and you know,
he used him effectively. I think I think some people
were frustrated that at times. But dude, I just think
with Turpin, you gotta be carefully. He doesn't get hurt.
But yeah, there the offense should be good. And and
again they're.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Gonna be losing a lot, so they're gonna have to
score a lot of points. They have five Tier one quarterbacks.
One of them. I mean, I'm not gonna say he's not,
but it it's just at the age he's adam surprised
Matt Stafford is still considered a Tier one quarter really. Yeah,
So they have Mahomes and Burrow. They're number one, they're

(05:09):
tied for number one. Jalen Hurts Hurts, No, Hurts is
number nine. He's tied for number nine.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Wow, Lamar, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen Yep, yep, and Matt Stafford.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Those your top Stafford and no, Jaden Daniels. Daniels is six.
He's right on the cusp. I think they I think
they want to see him win some more before anointing
him a Tier one quarterback. I think it's very possible.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
The good news for Cowboys fans is by the end
of this year, if Dak stays healthy, you're going to
see him in the top three.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah. I agree. And again, like think about the route
that Jared Jared Goff is number eight, same draft as
Dak Prescott. Think you know who used to be much
higher than both those guys, Carson Wentz. Yeah, Like you
just don't know how these things are going to play
out with injuries and all this stuff. But anyways, Uh,
Dak based on how bad live I sure went for
him at number twelve. He was kind of higher than

(06:02):
I thought he was same. I thought he might be
like seventeen. Now seventeen is who is number seventeen? President Trump? Who?
Uh tag o Valiyah, Yeah, he's number seventeen this year.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
He spun it at the end and made it work
all right. Coming up Next in the Wildlife News, dog
Reynolds are on the rise.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Would you rent a dog? We'll talk about that next
