Chris and Rob share their thoughts on Dak Prescott's brutal thumb injury and tell us if the Dallas Cowboys should 'tank' the rest of the season in hopes of finding Dak's replacement in the upcoming NFL Draft, discuss the likelihood that the San Francisco 49ers would give the team back to Jimmy Garoppolo sooner rather than later in the wake of Trey Lance's ugly week 1 performance, and tell us if it’s fair to say that Patrick Mahomes has almost become a victim of his own success.

(00:21):
s R. You're listening to the Best of the Odd
Couple with Chris Brush and Rod Harker. Last night, everybody
wanted to see the Dallas Cowboys host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
You and I both thought Dallas would win, even though
(00:42):
we weren't really high on them going into the season,
we did think they'd win and also going to win
the NFC East. And they and they, Chris, I'm just
gonna say this, they held to field goals. They were
that that was a game that they could have, that
they could have generated any offense. I mean, temp a
band to settle for all these field goals. That's the
(01:02):
game you win. You hold Tampa Bay to one touchdown.
The defense was good. The defense the reason it wasn't
a route They Tampa was in the red zone three times,
came away with one score. Right, you don't get that
with Tom Brady much and so, um, you're right. I mean,
the defense was fine, Michael Parsons was a man, and
(01:27):
they are not to blame for that loss. But the offense,
which was the best in the league at least statistically
last year, Rob Mustard three points and no touchdowns, they
got beat nineteen to three. And to add insults, or
I should say injury to insults, Dak Prescott fractures his
(01:49):
thumb on his right hand, will have surgery or maybe
he already had it today, already had surgery today, and
we'll be out, is it as it changed, Robs six
to eight weeks, six to eight weeks, So Rob Parker,
the floor is yours. Chris. I'm gonna be honest after
watching that, And of course I'm not talking about the
(02:10):
injury and and what happened to Dak. That's a shame.
You hate to see athletes get hurt. But I gotta
tell you, if if I'm the Dallas Cowboys and I'm
the brain trust or Jerry Jones and the family runs
the Corner Store or whatever you want to call them,
I'm done with Dak Prescott. Chris. I'm done. Wow, I'm
(02:32):
out on Dak and I'm not saying he can't play,
but I mean, I'm I'm further out there saying the
Cowboys should move on. Yes, if I if I could
find if I could find somebody else once you know,
he gets back, or whatever you want to do. But Chris,
the last two games we've seen him. Don't you remember
(02:54):
the offense against San Francisco in the playoff game. It
was god awful. It was awful and last night awful.
I'm not saying it's all his fault, but I just
see offense isn't good enough. I mean, even you who
are that guy, backed off the idea that he was
(03:15):
on the road to be in a league because you
saw it too and you felt like, okay, there's something missing.
All I'm saying is he might be a serviceable quarterback
going forward, Chris, but I don't think he's that guy
to get you there when he has to carry the load.
I'm not saying he couldn't be on a team that
(03:37):
has a great defense, you know what I mean, And
all they need you to do is not make mistakes.
But I'm talking about when you're short and they need
you to lead the team and put it on your back.
And get you there. I'm out on Dak Prescott. I
don't think he could do it last night. This is
(03:57):
a crime to lose to Tampa Bay. No, they weren't favorite,
Tampa Bay was favorite. No, but it put in another
pits poor performance like we saw in the playoffs and
last night at home. I can't do it anymore. I'm done.
Well for the record, last night, fourteen for twenty nine. No,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry last night, Yeah, fourteen for twenty nine,
(04:21):
one hundred and thirty four yards, no touchdowns, one pick. Well, Rob,
I'm not gonna say I'm done with Dak Prescott if
I'm the Dallas Cowboys, but I do echo some of
the points you've made. And you said I was a
Dak guy. Yeah from the beginning, And we both were
(04:41):
on the air with Brian No Dak's rookie year when
we were on air with him, and he was really
down on Dak, and I like Dak, and I used
to say Dak is a game manager. I never went, oh,
he's the next you know, Aaron Rogers, He's the next
Tom Brady sister that. But I thought he was a
(05:04):
game manager with great intangibles who could also make plays
like he's a game manager that can make a big
play for you here or there when you need it
and help a team win. And I did think, especially
last year, that he could grow into be an elite
(05:26):
But where I'm with you, Rob, is that I don't
think that's the case anymore. I think he is still
a game manager, not a pedestrian game manager, but a
game manager who can make a play with his legs,
with his arm here or there. But he is not
an elite quarterback. And you said it, Rob, if you
(05:47):
need him to carry you like a Aaron Rodgers carries
the Packers, like a Patrick Mahomes carries the Chiefs like
Tom Brady has I'll be see carry teams. He ain't
the one. Can't do it the one. Yeah. So you
look when he was on his rookie contract, Rob, that's
(06:09):
when they were a threat. I mean, they've never really
been a serious threat, right they never. They still aren't
getting deep in the playoffs. But you had the great
running back in Ezekiel Elliott, you had the great offensive line,
the deef, they had everything, and that was when they
were good. Right now, they let him Mary Cooper go,
and I'm not saying he's, you know, a Hall of Famer,
(06:29):
but he was their best receiver. He's gone now, right, Yeah,
and he's gone because that got so much money. And
now they could have probably kept him, but they were
they're worried about finances. And that's what happens rob when
you get when you pay your quarterback big money. And
teams better recognize this because they're giving just pretty good
(06:50):
quarterbacks huge money. That means you can't build around them.
It's got to make sure that boy is bad. If
you give him that forty fifty million dollars, he's got
to be able to carry you, Chris, when you're shorthanded, well,
you don't have all your weapons and you don't have
all that stuff. If he can't do it, it's gonna
wind up being a waste. And I'm just basing it
(07:12):
off the last two games I've seen from Dak. That
playoff game was awful and last night was another cup
of awful. I just if you're a Cowboys fan, how
do you feel good going forward? And I'm not saying
he'll be back and he'll be able to play, But
if I had a chance to a draft the next
quarterback for the Cowboys, or make a move and go
(07:34):
get somebody who I really feel will give you a
better shot, especially Chris. You talked about the defense last night,
but you helped Tom Brady and them the four field
goals and a touchdown right at home. That's a win, Chris,
that's a win. It should be. I mean, last year
they scored twenty nine points on Sampa Bay, right, you know,
(07:55):
but they gave up thirty one. Now you're right, the
getting rid of that. There's some school of thought out there.
Let the season go to waste, don't don't start Cooper Rush,
don't try to upgrade. Let it go now. I this
is a a draft where you know, Bryce Young from Alabama,
(08:18):
CJ Strile from Ohio State, some other good quarterbacks. I
don't know. I'm not saying I would definitely take a
quarterback if if, if indeed the season went to waste,
but I certainly look at some receivers too. They could
upgrade in other places. But look, Dak will be back
in six to eight weeks. Here's ultimately, Ryan, we didn't
(08:39):
even get to this because we've been talking about Dak.
The season's over all, I hate to say it, Cowboys.
We both picked them to win the NFC. It's over
for Dallas's They look horrible with dad, That's what I'm saying.
Like a joke, right, but without even what the heck
are the next six seven weeks gonna look. I know
(09:00):
one thing, Shekel City bet against the Cowboys every week,
I'm telling be sure to catch live editions of The
Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker weekdays at
seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the iHeartRadio app. HI. This is Jay Glazer. And
you may know me for the world of football or fighting,
(09:22):
or even shows like HBO's Ballers. Well you don't know
is for my entire life. I have lived in something
I refer to as the gray depression anxiety. So now
I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable, a mental
health podcast with Jay Glazer, where each week, while we
talk about mental health, I hope to describe it, give
it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on the
(09:43):
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
One of the biggest upsets in the of the week,
losing the Steelers, was used, but this was nearly as
Big Chicago, who many people think is gonna be, you know,
(10:06):
one of the worst, maybe the worst teams in the league.
Stun a team that something could make the Super Bowl
to San Francisco. Forty nine Ers beat him nineteen to
ten in a down pour. Adele huge Well, I heard
people making Noah's arc comments on TV and radio today,
(10:28):
But nineteen to ten, the Bears beat the Niners, and
kind of like Rob we talked about with Dallas and
Tampa Bay, the Niners couldn't get any offense going Trey Lance,
the quarterback the future there at least that's the plan.
Was a horrific Rob. There's really no other way to
(10:49):
say it. And it wasn't just a lot of people
pointing out the missed pass to Tyler Croft the tight end,
that that could have been a touchdown down the left
side line. But it wasn't just that he missed Deebo
Samuel on third down. He missed Juwan Jennings on third down.
He threw a pick like he was missing guys left
(11:10):
and right. He ended up thirteen for twenty eight, one
hundred and sixty four yards, zero touchdowns, one interception, and
Rob of all the quarterbacks that started Sunday, maybe even
at play, but I know that started. He had the
lowest passer rating of them all fifty point three and
(11:32):
the lowest percentage completion percentage, which was below fifty percent.
So a very tough start for Trey Lance to his
career as the future of the San Francisco forty nine ers. However,
not all saw it as I did, or as ninety
nine point nine percent of the people out there did.
(11:55):
Jerry Rice, the legend some people think not only the
greatest wide receiver ever, the greatest football player ever thought
Trey Lance was good. Here he is. How would you
evaluate his game yesterday? I feel like he played okay,
you know, I felt like he did enough to win
(12:16):
that football game. Man. You know, you got to look
at what happened with the well, the Chicago Bears. I
think they tot of like won that game the last
five minutes you know, left in that ball game. All Right,
all right, you already know, uh, Jerry Rice, please stop it.
I don't know if he worked for the team, Chris,
I know he's a right, That's what I'm saying. So
(12:39):
so I get it. I mean, and I'm just saying
this is why, Chris, when you talk about former players
and they're being analysts and all that, I'm sorry, they
just they're not gonna give you the goods because they're connected. Well,
but most one don't because they're connected. I get it.
He played for the forty nine and I don't want
to rip the kid. I get it, I got do.
(13:02):
But come on, Chris, this was the problem. This is
what me we're talking about. Yourself look bad? Right? It
just nobody believes you, Jerry, Right, nobody that's sitting. There's
not one person on the planet that was like, you
know what, yeah, he played well. No, he didn't play well, Jerry,
It's okay, the kid needs to improve. This something that
(13:22):
was just first off, you could have said a lot
of things, but the same played okay. It was just
not one And anyway, Chris, this is the reason that
both of us questioned the move because we didn't feel
like he was really ready. Teammates didn't vote him captain.
Questions about you know, he hasn't played that many games
(13:45):
the last couple of years period, the level of competition
he played against, it's all that stuff, and he could
be a hell of an athlete, and you got a
guy who took it to the super Bowl and sitting
on the sideline, and a guy who was in a
quarter away from getting you to another super Bowl. Okay,
those are just the facts. And you can't tell me
(14:05):
that his teammates after that game against the lowly Chicago Bears,
who outscored them, Chris one of the sixteen points in
the fourth quarter or whatever it was, twelve in the
fourth quarter. Yep, sorry, like like that was a big
turnaround in that game. And I know that people old
the weather. You can't evaluate him. Stop every the Bears
(14:29):
played in the weather too, and they scored twelve points
in it only rained when the Niners hands. I mean,
come on, Chris, even when it wasn't raining, he wasn't good. Stop,
don't make excuses. It was his first game. Nobody's trying
to bury the kid. No one's trying to tell you
he can't play or he's not gonna get better. But
let's be honest about yesterday. That's all we can evaluate,
(14:54):
not what's gonna happen next week, Chris, not what happened
two years ago. What happened yes today was bad. And
if you're a forty nine a fan, Chris, how short
is your leash? Could you you want to give him
keep him on a leash? Did your leash get shorter
after yesterday's game or no, well my leash in and
(15:16):
this is what you're referring to Friday. I said, look, look, Rob,
I'm fine with the decision to give the team over
to Trey Lane. That's fine. Jimmy Garoppolo is not Tom Brady.
Jimmy Garoppolo is not you know. Yeah, yeah, He's not
an elite quarterback. What he is is a winner and
that's just been proven period. And he's a good quarterback.
(15:41):
And but I understand you wanted to go out and
get somebody who was more talented. Now it's in the
second year. We talked about it with Dak Prescott robbed,
these teams want to win when the quarterback's not making
a lot of money. So you want to get Trey
in there and see what he can do. Fine, I
get it. Okay, So I'm fine with them giving him
(16:01):
the team this year. But they are built to win
a Super Bowl defensively, offensively, every place except quarterback. And
I robbed, my least was six to eight weeks and
the forst six weeks. Their schedule is a nice one
(16:24):
to get a good evaluation of him. They opened with
the Bears. You would have thought they could win that game,
whether Trey was good or not. They didn't. Then you
got the Seahawks. Let's see what the Seahawks do tonight,
but they're not expected to be any good. Then you
got Denvert. That could be a loss. Nobody will kill
you for that. The Rams could be a loss. Nobody
(16:45):
will kill you for that. But then you got Carolina
and Atlanta. So you got four winnable games out of
your first six. Rob, if Trey Lands is not showing
any improvement and the team is losing him, then I
think at that point you make the switch. But I
(17:06):
gotta be honest, Rob, and it crossed my mind, but
I want to be a little more patient. I firmly
believe that Seahawks fans and I don't know if players yet.
I mean, obviously there might be a couple here and there,
but I wouldn't say the locker room yet. But I
firmly believe that Seahawks fans or I'm sorry, forty nine
(17:29):
ers fans are saying if we lose to the Seahawks,
if he looks this bad against Seattle and we lose,
bring in Jimmy G. We can't let the season go.
And here's the thing, Rob, People the media paint it
one way, pundits will spend it one way. It doesn't
(17:52):
mean Trey Lance is done. It just means he's not
ready yet. And it means that rather than have him
develop under the crucible of having to win games, you
let him develop in practice. You let him develople on
the side, and then next season hopefully he'll be ready.
So I'm not ready to throw throwing the towel on
(18:14):
him for this season, but I bet you some fans
will be if they lose to Seattle and he looks bad.
I'm with you because you looked at the schedule, Chris.
It was a soft opening, yep, the perfect schedule for
a young quarterback against teams that aren't that good. And
if you get off to a bad start, as you said,
(18:35):
it's going to look worse. I think you saw what
happened in Nebraska, right, because yeah, they're not playing around. Okay,
they don't care. And Rob G told me earlier I
didn't even realize the contract, Chris. If they waited a
few more weeks. They were to cut the money that
they owe him in half, right like the Wow. Still
(18:58):
they were to buy out Chris. They were like, no,
get out now. We don't care what it costs. Get
out now. And at Notre Dame Chris the brother in trouble,
he loosed another game. I'm just telling you well, and
they lost the Marshall Chris. They I don't want to
get you know what I'm saying. That's the thing. They've
hyped him up so much as if he's the second
(19:20):
come into New Rockney and now you know it ain't
looking good so far. They better get together. I tell
you that, no quick. But but in this case, this
is what you worried about with Trey Lance and we
got a view of this. We talked about it before, Christian,
remember with U with um As it hurts and Chica,
(19:41):
Jalen hurts, Jayalen hurts, Jalen hurts and Chicago. Remember when
they wouldn't start him and we were saying, justin fields
and justin fields, justin justin fields. Do you remember when
we're talking about that, like they watch him, they know
there's a reason. There's a reason because it because it
didn't make sense why the Bears didn't put him in earlier,
and this might be the case on why Jimmy g
(20:05):
is still there and why ultimately, you know, he find
his way back into the lineup. And you said it
when you alluded to what happened in Nebraska. This is
big boy football. This isn't pop warn No, this isn't oh,
let's develop the kid. This is a year by year league, now,
(20:29):
am I right? Ye mean yeah, if you're just horrible
and you know you got nothing going for you, then
sure then you can have a little multi year playing
right Jacksonville. Well, Trevor Lawrence, you know he's gonna be
our guy. And we got to talk about Trevor Lawrence.
To him, he doesn't look good, Peter Chris, And now
you can't blame it on Urban mart. He ain't there
(20:49):
right and decent throws, but as the really bad throws
miss miss a couple throws. It could have been scores.
But anyway, am I rob These are men. There are millions,
hundreds of millions, billions of dollars on the line at stake.
I can't play you because I like you. I can't
(21:12):
even play you because I gave up a lot of
draft capital for No. I've got to play the best
players period, No favoritism, none of that, no other side agendas.
We've got to play who's going to win us football games,
(21:33):
especially when your team is built to win. And right,
we've talked about it before. You can't fool players. Man.
They know if you yes out there, Rod putting my
but on the line and we got a quarterback that
I can see every day in practice is not giving
(21:56):
us the best chance to win. You could lose guy. Yep,
they'll be like, why are we sticking with this when
we know he's not good and there's somebody who can
play better than him. You can lose the locker room. Absolutely,
And again it could be he just not ready yet.
We see the talent, we think you'll be good in
(22:17):
the future, but he's not ready yet. It's not Pop
Warner guy, not Cyo, not high school politics, agendas, all
that should be out the window. It's about winning and
delivering on the gridiron. And so far, so bad for
Trey Lance. Again, I'm not ready to toss in the town.
(22:37):
I didn't say that. Yeah, we're just saying that. Let's
keep it real. Be sure to catch live editions of
the odd Couple with Chris Brussar then Rob Parker weekdays
at seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports
Radio and the iHeart Radio app. I guess, I mean
the Bills were incredibly impressive, and I would say, you know,
(22:59):
going in there and beating the defending champions like a
drum would probably have to be the most impressive. You know, certainly,
yeah would. I would legitimately say Patrick Mahomes is performance, Chris,
especially with all the talk about him having to prove
(23:19):
himself and Tywee kill and his comments all the other stuff.
He came out and he beat up a team that
I know it's not exactly the same team, but one
ten straight game eleven games last year made the playoff, right,
I mean that's just a fact. So absolutely, now, Patrick
Mahomes was phenomenal. And Rob g get on the mic
(23:41):
because I know how in the world Pro Football Focus
is rated his game the eighth best performance by a quarterback.
Wend Right, I'm sorry, I actually think Rob he was
better than Josh Allen because he didn't have any interceptions, right,
(24:01):
five touchdowns, more touchdowns, fewer picks, more yards, Like what
what I got? The list for you right here, according
to Pro Football Focus. Again, now Pro Football Focus, nobody
exactly knows how they judge these games, which is why.
But it's strictly that's why people only use Pro Football
Focus numbers when it fits what they're trying to argue,
(24:23):
because nobody really understands how it works because it because
it doesn't make sense. How could he be eight? But
here here's the top ten in order, Number one, Josh Allen,
number two, Kirk Cousins, number three, Ryan Tannehill, which was
surprising what justin Herbert, Ryan Tannehill, Jamis Winston, Lamar Jackson,
who didn't do anything for the first half of football
(24:44):
right right, Neither did Jamis until the fourth Jalen Hurts,
uh Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady and Davis Mills and Tom
was pedestrian. Brady had one touchdown, Chris and here you go, Chris.
The gap between Mahomes and Brady was smaller than the
(25:04):
gap between Jamis and Lamar Jackson. Jamison Lamar have very
similar type performances. I'm sorry Rob this and we have
I can't remember the guy's name that we have on
Sam Monson from Pro Football Focus, and I love having
any more and so we'll get him one again. But Rob, honestly,
(25:27):
and I go to Pro Football Focus, I'm not gonna lie.
I go there a lot to see what they're doing.
And Robs, right, you use it to support to bolster
your argument, but if they have a number that works
for you, right right, this is the type of list
that destroys credibility. I'm sorry. Ryan Tannehill throws for two
(25:51):
sixty six two touchdowns, zero interceptions in a loss, and
he was rated higher than Patrick Mahomes, who have I've touchdowns,
no picks, three hundred and sixty yards through the air.
I'm sorry, Like, I don't, How in the world do
you get any numbers that would say he had a
(26:13):
better game than Patrick Mahomes. I don't. I don't know either.
It doesn't make sense. When I looked at against the
playoff team, and I looked at Giant right, and I
looked at what Mahomes did in the afternoon that he
put up Chris, I was like you, other than Josh
(26:33):
Allen going on the road Chris and beating the defending
Super Bowl champs, Other than that, he had the best day,
it ain't even close. And I, like I said, I
would give the Bills say the Bills were more impressive
than the Chiefs, but I would say Mahomes was more
impressive than Allen. You can argue Alan obviously was great,
but he did have the two interceptions. So as to me,
(26:55):
I get that, But I'm just saying, going on the
road against the defending champ and all that stuff, I
know what you're saying. And as far as just pure numbers, right,
Mahomes have better numbers. There's no doubt. I don't even
know how he could be even I don't even get
it right. That doesn't make it. And I'm gonna nick
right as you know. We're co hosting with Long with
(27:17):
Kevin Wilds on first things. First, he made a statement
he's huge Chiefs fan, and you know, obviously he was
glowing iry he is, he is, he'll, he'll he probably
would admit that. Um. But Rob, he made a statement
that I actually agree with. When he first said it,
I would had to think about it, but then I
(27:38):
looked at it, I was like, you know what, I
think I agree with him. He said that Patrick Mahomes,
it's the most disrespected great player in the league, and
I think it's come to that, Rob, if you look
down the list of teams I got saying, I'll throw
Lamar in there, but Lamar hasn't done what Mahomes has
(27:58):
as great as he's been, and I'll throw who was
the other player? We said it was Russell Wilson in there,
but he hasn't been as good as Mahomes. Ever, those
guys have been a bit disrespected recently. And then a
Dak Prescott, a Justin Herbert, a Josh Allen, even they've
(28:20):
been a little boosted up right, probably a little overrated recently.
But I do think Rob, and I said it Friday,
I don't have to rehash everything. I think he's a
victim of his own greatness early in his career. When
you come out in your first year as a starting,
throw fifty touchdowns and win the MVP, and then you
(28:44):
follow that up by winning the Super Bowl, and you've
been to the AFC title Game all four of your
seasons as a starter, like the standard has become either
win the Super Bowl or win the MVP. And if
you don't do that, you're trash or you know you're
falling off. And Rob, I challenge you, I mean, do
(29:06):
you disagree with that? Statement. I mean, I'm who who
has been as a great player, who has been a
bit more disrespected than Patrick Mahomes. They do not saying
he doesn't get any respect, but Rob nfl dot com
had him the fifth best quarterback and coming into the season, right.
I think it's probably a combination of they went God
(29:29):
God for him that he was going to be. You
don't even remember when they had the match up with
Tom Brady uh in that AFC championship game. You remember that?
Oh yeah, then when when when you and I when
you we I don't know, I was sad. We probably
had a TV beat radio. Yeah, I would remember that.
At the restaurant, Rob just left, just just left the restaurant.
(30:00):
Somehow you came back, somehow you came back. When I
heard you, did you know? They're like, how did you
know they tied it? Because people you were literally outside,
people came out of the restaurant. They were like, they
tied it? What happened? I was like, how did he do?
But anyway, um, I think so now they're trying like
(30:23):
like and you know, Chris, he was to catch me out.
Oh my god, he's gonna be the greatest quarterback. He
gonna win the MVP every year. You remember that. I mean,
it was like off the chain, and now I think
they're they're dialing it back the other way. I think
that's right. Do you do you think you see what
I'm saying. I think it's it has something to do
with how they were hand on him in the beginning
(30:46):
and then because he wasn't you know, winning as big
or whatever. And it's the thing that no, I know,
like you saying, Okay, you you've even been critical love
him for last season, but he's still for him, it
was an off year, right, That's all I'm saying. It
was thirty seven touchdowns in forty eight hundred yards, you
know what I mean? He still was great like some
(31:08):
guys with Hall of famers, and I'm not even talking
about old school. I don't think Russell Wilson's ever had
those numbers, right, you know, so, um yeah, I mean
he has been. I think you're right. And because people
and you know, I've called him Jordan esque, I said
he's got gold potential, which I stand by those statements.
(31:29):
But Rob, we saw people on TV saying he's the
best quarterback ever, and they meant they didn't mean obviously
you're rank him ahead of Brady historically, but they meant
like eye test, what who we've seen play the position,
he's the best ever and he had a ring and
an MVP to back it up, you know what I mean,
(31:50):
that's where people were going. So I don't know, right,
maybe there is a little bit of embarrassing. I think so.
And I think that's so yep, and I think that's
where the pushback is. But now I think they're as
much as they were on his bend wagon Chris. Right
now it's the other way, not an overcompensating I'm thinking
he's like, like, I think it's that's what I think
(32:12):
it'll be. Rob Gee, you said there's an explanation. Yeah,
you know what. I think Sam Munson, friend of the show.
I think he may have been listening to you or
just expecting you were gonna go heree something. No, this
was a few hours ago, but I think he knew
that the Eye couple was going to be happy about this. Right.
So here he has a screen grab of one of
(32:33):
the touchdown passes that Pat Mahomes through, which was a
shovel passed into the end zone. Says Mahomes has five tds.
This is one of them. The play design creates a
throw he could literally under arm, so it's wide the
hell open. So of course this is something that I'm
not gonna go greit for touchdown. And then and then
later on he says, down in distance matters, not all
seven yard passes are created equal. How tight coverage is
(32:54):
ball location. So basically, because he's hitting the open man
every time, he's getting counted against him. That's what that's
a great point. He's not throwing it to the difficult pass. Yeah,
he's just hitting the open guy for five touchdown, three
and sixty yards u UM. That gets Sam on

(00:21):
s R. You're listening to the Best of the Odd
Couple with Chris Brush and Rod Harker. Last night, everybody
wanted to see the Dallas Cowboys host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
You and I both thought Dallas would win, even though
(00:42):
we weren't really high on them going into the season,
we did think they'd win and also going to win
the NFC East. And they and they, Chris, I'm just
gonna say this, they held to field goals. They were
that that was a game that they could have, that
they could have generated any offense. I mean, temp a
band to settle for all these field goals. That's the
(01:02):
game you win. You hold Tampa Bay to one touchdown.
The defense was good. The defense the reason it wasn't
a route They Tampa was in the red zone three times,
came away with one score. Right, you don't get that
with Tom Brady much and so, um, you're right. I mean,
the defense was fine, Michael Parsons was a man, and
(01:27):
they are not to blame for that loss. But the offense,
which was the best in the league at least statistically
last year, Rob Mustard three points and no touchdowns, they
got beat nineteen to three. And to add insults, or
I should say injury to insults, Dak Prescott fractures his
(01:49):
thumb on his right hand, will have surgery or maybe
he already had it today, already had surgery today, and
we'll be out, is it as it changed, Robs six
to eight weeks, six to eight weeks, So Rob Parker,
the floor is yours. Chris. I'm gonna be honest after
watching that, And of course I'm not talking about the
(02:10):
injury and and what happened to Dak. That's a shame.
You hate to see athletes get hurt. But I gotta
tell you, if if I'm the Dallas Cowboys and I'm
the brain trust or Jerry Jones and the family runs
the Corner Store or whatever you want to call them,
I'm done with Dak Prescott. Chris. I'm done. Wow, I'm
(02:32):
out on Dak and I'm not saying he can't play,
but I mean, I'm I'm further out there saying the
Cowboys should move on. Yes, if I if I could
find if I could find somebody else once you know,
he gets back, or whatever you want to do. But Chris,
the last two games we've seen him. Don't you remember
(02:54):
the offense against San Francisco in the playoff game. It
was god awful. It was awful and last night awful.
I'm not saying it's all his fault, but I just
see offense isn't good enough. I mean, even you who
are that guy, backed off the idea that he was
(03:15):
on the road to be in a league because you
saw it too and you felt like, okay, there's something missing.
All I'm saying is he might be a serviceable quarterback
going forward, Chris, but I don't think he's that guy
to get you there when he has to carry the load.
I'm not saying he couldn't be on a team that
(03:37):
has a great defense, you know what I mean, And
all they need you to do is not make mistakes.
But I'm talking about when you're short and they need
you to lead the team and put it on your back.
And get you there. I'm out on Dak Prescott. I
don't think he could do it last night. This is
(03:57):
a crime to lose to Tampa Bay. No, they weren't favorite,
Tampa Bay was favorite. No, but it put in another
pits poor performance like we saw in the playoffs and
last night at home. I can't do it anymore. I'm done.
Well for the record, last night, fourteen for twenty nine. No,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry last night, Yeah, fourteen for twenty nine,
(04:21):
one hundred and thirty four yards, no touchdowns, one pick. Well, Rob,
I'm not gonna say I'm done with Dak Prescott if
I'm the Dallas Cowboys, but I do echo some of
the points you've made. And you said I was a
Dak guy. Yeah from the beginning, And we both were
(04:41):
on the air with Brian No Dak's rookie year when
we were on air with him, and he was really
down on Dak, and I like Dak, and I used
to say Dak is a game manager. I never went, oh,
he's the next you know, Aaron Rogers, He's the next
Tom Brady sister that. But I thought he was a
(05:04):
game manager with great intangibles who could also make plays
like he's a game manager that can make a big
play for you here or there when you need it
and help a team win. And I did think, especially
last year, that he could grow into be an elite
(05:26):
But where I'm with you, Rob, is that I don't
think that's the case anymore. I think he is still
a game manager, not a pedestrian game manager, but a
game manager who can make a play with his legs,
with his arm here or there. But he is not
an elite quarterback. And you said it, Rob, if you
(05:47):
need him to carry you like a Aaron Rodgers carries
the Packers, like a Patrick Mahomes carries the Chiefs like
Tom Brady has I'll be see carry teams. He ain't
the one. Can't do it the one. Yeah. So you
look when he was on his rookie contract, Rob, that's
(06:09):
when they were a threat. I mean, they've never really
been a serious threat, right they never. They still aren't
getting deep in the playoffs. But you had the great
running back in Ezekiel Elliott, you had the great offensive line,
the deef, they had everything, and that was when they
were good. Right now, they let him Mary Cooper go,
and I'm not saying he's, you know, a Hall of Famer,
(06:29):
but he was their best receiver. He's gone now, right, Yeah,
and he's gone because that got so much money. And
now they could have probably kept him, but they were
they're worried about finances. And that's what happens rob when
you get when you pay your quarterback big money. And
teams better recognize this because they're giving just pretty good
(06:50):
quarterbacks huge money. That means you can't build around them.
It's got to make sure that boy is bad. If
you give him that forty fifty million dollars, he's got
to be able to carry you, Chris, when you're shorthanded, well,
you don't have all your weapons and you don't have
all that stuff. If he can't do it, it's gonna
wind up being a waste. And I'm just basing it
(07:12):
off the last two games I've seen from Dak. That
playoff game was awful and last night was another cup
of awful. I just if you're a Cowboys fan, how
do you feel good going forward? And I'm not saying
he'll be back and he'll be able to play, But
if I had a chance to a draft the next
quarterback for the Cowboys, or make a move and go
(07:34):
get somebody who I really feel will give you a
better shot, especially Chris. You talked about the defense last night,
but you helped Tom Brady and them the four field
goals and a touchdown right at home. That's a win, Chris,
that's a win. It should be. I mean, last year
they scored twenty nine points on Sampa Bay, right, you know,
(07:55):
but they gave up thirty one. Now you're right, the
getting rid of that. There's some school of thought out there.
Let the season go to waste, don't don't start Cooper Rush,
don't try to upgrade. Let it go now. I this
is a a draft where you know, Bryce Young from Alabama,
(08:18):
CJ Strile from Ohio State, some other good quarterbacks. I
don't know. I'm not saying I would definitely take a
quarterback if if, if indeed the season went to waste,
but I certainly look at some receivers too. They could
upgrade in other places. But look, Dak will be back
in six to eight weeks. Here's ultimately, Ryan, we didn't
(08:39):
even get to this because we've been talking about Dak.
The season's over all, I hate to say it, Cowboys.
We both picked them to win the NFC. It's over
for Dallas's They look horrible with dad, That's what I'm saying.
Like a joke, right, but without even what the heck
are the next six seven weeks gonna look. I know
(09:00):
one thing, Shekel City bet against the Cowboys every week,
I'm telling be sure to catch live editions of The
Odd Couple with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker weekdays at
seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
and the iHeartRadio app. HI. This is Jay Glazer. And
you may know me for the world of football or fighting,
(09:22):
or even shows like HBO's Ballers. Well you don't know
is for my entire life. I have lived in something
I refer to as the gray depression anxiety. So now
I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable, a mental
health podcast with Jay Glazer, where each week, while we
talk about mental health, I hope to describe it, give
it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on the
(09:43):
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
One of the biggest upsets in the of the week,
losing the Steelers, was used, but this was nearly as
Big Chicago, who many people think is gonna be, you know,
(10:06):
one of the worst, maybe the worst teams in the league.
Stun a team that something could make the Super Bowl
to San Francisco. Forty nine Ers beat him nineteen to
ten in a down pour. Adele huge Well, I heard
people making Noah's arc comments on TV and radio today,
(10:28):
But nineteen to ten, the Bears beat the Niners, and
kind of like Rob we talked about with Dallas and
Tampa Bay, the Niners couldn't get any offense going Trey Lance,
the quarterback the future there at least that's the plan.
Was a horrific Rob. There's really no other way to
(10:49):
say it. And it wasn't just a lot of people
pointing out the missed pass to Tyler Croft the tight end,
that that could have been a touchdown down the left
side line. But it wasn't just that he missed Deebo
Samuel on third down. He missed Juwan Jennings on third down.
He threw a pick like he was missing guys left
(11:10):
and right. He ended up thirteen for twenty eight, one
hundred and sixty four yards, zero touchdowns, one interception, and
Rob of all the quarterbacks that started Sunday, maybe even
at play, but I know that started. He had the
lowest passer rating of them all fifty point three and
(11:32):
the lowest percentage completion percentage, which was below fifty percent.
So a very tough start for Trey Lance to his
career as the future of the San Francisco forty nine ers. However,
not all saw it as I did, or as ninety
nine point nine percent of the people out there did.
(11:55):
Jerry Rice, the legend some people think not only the
greatest wide receiver ever, the greatest football player ever thought
Trey Lance was good. Here he is. How would you
evaluate his game yesterday? I feel like he played okay,
you know, I felt like he did enough to win
(12:16):
that football game. Man. You know, you got to look
at what happened with the well, the Chicago Bears. I
think they tot of like won that game the last
five minutes you know, left in that ball game. All Right,
all right, you already know, uh, Jerry Rice, please stop it.
I don't know if he worked for the team, Chris,
I know he's a right, That's what I'm saying. So
(12:39):
so I get it. I mean, and I'm just saying
this is why, Chris, when you talk about former players
and they're being analysts and all that, I'm sorry, they
just they're not gonna give you the goods because they're connected. Well,
but most one don't because they're connected. I get it.
He played for the forty nine and I don't want
to rip the kid. I get it, I got do.
(13:02):
But come on, Chris, this was the problem. This is
what me we're talking about. Yourself look bad? Right? It
just nobody believes you, Jerry, Right, nobody that's sitting. There's
not one person on the planet that was like, you
know what, yeah, he played well. No, he didn't play well, Jerry,
It's okay, the kid needs to improve. This something that
(13:22):
was just first off, you could have said a lot
of things, but the same played okay. It was just
not one And anyway, Chris, this is the reason that
both of us questioned the move because we didn't feel
like he was really ready. Teammates didn't vote him captain.
Questions about you know, he hasn't played that many games
(13:45):
the last couple of years period, the level of competition
he played against, it's all that stuff, and he could
be a hell of an athlete, and you got a
guy who took it to the super Bowl and sitting
on the sideline, and a guy who was in a
quarter away from getting you to another super Bowl. Okay,
those are just the facts. And you can't tell me
(14:05):
that his teammates after that game against the lowly Chicago Bears,
who outscored them, Chris one of the sixteen points in
the fourth quarter or whatever it was, twelve in the
fourth quarter. Yep, sorry, like like that was a big
turnaround in that game. And I know that people old
the weather. You can't evaluate him. Stop every the Bears
(14:29):
played in the weather too, and they scored twelve points
in it only rained when the Niners hands. I mean,
come on, Chris, even when it wasn't raining, he wasn't good. Stop,
don't make excuses. It was his first game. Nobody's trying
to bury the kid. No one's trying to tell you
he can't play or he's not gonna get better. But
let's be honest about yesterday. That's all we can evaluate,
(14:54):
not what's gonna happen next week, Chris, not what happened
two years ago. What happened yes today was bad. And
if you're a forty nine a fan, Chris, how short
is your leash? Could you you want to give him
keep him on a leash? Did your leash get shorter
after yesterday's game or no, well my leash in and
(15:16):
this is what you're referring to Friday. I said, look, look, Rob,
I'm fine with the decision to give the team over
to Trey Lane. That's fine. Jimmy Garoppolo is not Tom Brady.
Jimmy Garoppolo is not you know. Yeah, yeah, He's not
an elite quarterback. What he is is a winner and
that's just been proven period. And he's a good quarterback.
(15:41):
And but I understand you wanted to go out and
get somebody who was more talented. Now it's in the
second year. We talked about it with Dak Prescott robbed,
these teams want to win when the quarterback's not making
a lot of money. So you want to get Trey
in there and see what he can do. Fine, I
get it. Okay, So I'm fine with them giving him
(16:01):
the team this year. But they are built to win
a Super Bowl defensively, offensively, every place except quarterback. And
I robbed, my least was six to eight weeks and
the forst six weeks. Their schedule is a nice one
(16:24):
to get a good evaluation of him. They opened with
the Bears. You would have thought they could win that game,
whether Trey was good or not. They didn't. Then you
got the Seahawks. Let's see what the Seahawks do tonight,
but they're not expected to be any good. Then you
got Denvert. That could be a loss. Nobody will kill
you for that. The Rams could be a loss. Nobody
(16:45):
will kill you for that. But then you got Carolina
and Atlanta. So you got four winnable games out of
your first six. Rob, if Trey Lands is not showing
any improvement and the team is losing him, then I
think at that point you make the switch. But I
(17:06):
gotta be honest, Rob, and it crossed my mind, but
I want to be a little more patient. I firmly
believe that Seahawks fans and I don't know if players yet.
I mean, obviously there might be a couple here and there,
but I wouldn't say the locker room yet. But I
firmly believe that Seahawks fans or I'm sorry, forty nine
(17:29):
ers fans are saying if we lose to the Seahawks,
if he looks this bad against Seattle and we lose,
bring in Jimmy G. We can't let the season go.
And here's the thing, Rob, People the media paint it
one way, pundits will spend it one way. It doesn't
(17:52):
mean Trey Lance is done. It just means he's not
ready yet. And it means that rather than have him
develop under the crucible of having to win games, you
let him develop in practice. You let him develople on
the side, and then next season hopefully he'll be ready.
So I'm not ready to throw throwing the towel on
(18:14):
him for this season, but I bet you some fans
will be if they lose to Seattle and he looks bad.
I'm with you because you looked at the schedule, Chris.
It was a soft opening, yep, the perfect schedule for
a young quarterback against teams that aren't that good. And
if you get off to a bad start, as you said,
(18:35):
it's going to look worse. I think you saw what
happened in Nebraska, right, because yeah, they're not playing around. Okay,
they don't care. And Rob G told me earlier I
didn't even realize the contract, Chris. If they waited a
few more weeks. They were to cut the money that
they owe him in half, right like the Wow. Still
(18:58):
they were to buy out Chris. They were like, no,
get out now. We don't care what it costs. Get
out now. And at Notre Dame Chris the brother in trouble,
he loosed another game. I'm just telling you well, and
they lost the Marshall Chris. They I don't want to
get you know what I'm saying. That's the thing. They've
hyped him up so much as if he's the second
(19:20):
come into New Rockney and now you know it ain't
looking good so far. They better get together. I tell
you that, no quick. But but in this case, this
is what you worried about with Trey Lance and we
got a view of this. We talked about it before, Christian,
remember with U with um As it hurts and Chica,
(19:41):
Jalen hurts, Jayalen hurts, Jalen hurts and Chicago. Remember when
they wouldn't start him and we were saying, justin fields
and justin fields, justin justin fields. Do you remember when
we're talking about that, like they watch him, they know
there's a reason. There's a reason because it because it
didn't make sense why the Bears didn't put him in earlier,
and this might be the case on why Jimmy g
(20:05):
is still there and why ultimately, you know, he find
his way back into the lineup. And you said it
when you alluded to what happened in Nebraska. This is
big boy football. This isn't pop warn No, this isn't oh,
let's develop the kid. This is a year by year league, now,
(20:29):
am I right? Ye mean yeah, if you're just horrible
and you know you got nothing going for you, then
sure then you can have a little multi year playing
right Jacksonville. Well, Trevor Lawrence, you know he's gonna be
our guy. And we got to talk about Trevor Lawrence.
To him, he doesn't look good, Peter Chris, And now
you can't blame it on Urban mart. He ain't there
(20:49):
right and decent throws, but as the really bad throws
miss miss a couple throws. It could have been scores.
But anyway, am I rob These are men. There are millions,
hundreds of millions, billions of dollars on the line at stake.
I can't play you because I like you. I can't
(21:12):
even play you because I gave up a lot of
draft capital for No. I've got to play the best
players period, No favoritism, none of that, no other side agendas.
We've got to play who's going to win us football games,
(21:33):
especially when your team is built to win. And right,
we've talked about it before. You can't fool players. Man.
They know if you yes out there, Rod putting my
but on the line and we got a quarterback that
I can see every day in practice is not giving
(21:56):
us the best chance to win. You could lose guy. Yep,
they'll be like, why are we sticking with this when
we know he's not good and there's somebody who can
play better than him. You can lose the locker room. Absolutely,
And again it could be he just not ready yet.
We see the talent, we think you'll be good in
(22:17):
the future, but he's not ready yet. It's not Pop
Warner guy, not Cyo, not high school politics, agendas, all
that should be out the window. It's about winning and
delivering on the gridiron. And so far, so bad for
Trey Lance. Again, I'm not ready to toss in the town.
(22:37):
I didn't say that. Yeah, we're just saying that. Let's
keep it real. Be sure to catch live editions of
the odd Couple with Chris Brussar then Rob Parker weekdays
at seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports
Radio and the iHeart Radio app. I guess, I mean
the Bills were incredibly impressive, and I would say, you know,
(22:59):
going in there and beating the defending champions like a
drum would probably have to be the most impressive. You know, certainly,
yeah would. I would legitimately say Patrick Mahomes is performance, Chris,
especially with all the talk about him having to prove
(23:19):
himself and Tywee kill and his comments all the other stuff.
He came out and he beat up a team that
I know it's not exactly the same team, but one
ten straight game eleven games last year made the playoff, right,
I mean that's just a fact. So absolutely, now, Patrick
Mahomes was phenomenal. And Rob g get on the mic
(23:41):
because I know how in the world Pro Football Focus
is rated his game the eighth best performance by a quarterback.
Wend Right, I'm sorry, I actually think Rob he was
better than Josh Allen because he didn't have any interceptions, right,
(24:01):
five touchdowns, more touchdowns, fewer picks, more yards, Like what
what I got? The list for you right here, according
to Pro Football Focus. Again, now Pro Football Focus, nobody
exactly knows how they judge these games, which is why.
But it's strictly that's why people only use Pro Football
Focus numbers when it fits what they're trying to argue,
(24:23):
because nobody really understands how it works because it because
it doesn't make sense. How could he be eight? But
here here's the top ten in order, Number one, Josh Allen,
number two, Kirk Cousins, number three, Ryan Tannehill, which was
surprising what justin Herbert, Ryan Tannehill, Jamis Winston, Lamar Jackson,
who didn't do anything for the first half of football
(24:44):
right right, Neither did Jamis until the fourth Jalen Hurts,
uh Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady and Davis Mills and Tom
was pedestrian. Brady had one touchdown, Chris and here you go, Chris.
The gap between Mahomes and Brady was smaller than the
(25:04):
gap between Jamis and Lamar Jackson. Jamison Lamar have very
similar type performances. I'm sorry Rob this and we have
I can't remember the guy's name that we have on
Sam Monson from Pro Football Focus, and I love having
any more and so we'll get him one again. But Rob, honestly,
(25:27):
and I go to Pro Football Focus, I'm not gonna lie.
I go there a lot to see what they're doing.
And Robs, right, you use it to support to bolster
your argument, but if they have a number that works
for you, right right, this is the type of list
that destroys credibility. I'm sorry. Ryan Tannehill throws for two
(25:51):
sixty six two touchdowns, zero interceptions in a loss, and
he was rated higher than Patrick Mahomes, who have I've touchdowns,
no picks, three hundred and sixty yards through the air.
I'm sorry, Like, I don't, How in the world do
you get any numbers that would say he had a
(26:13):
better game than Patrick Mahomes. I don't. I don't know either.
It doesn't make sense. When I looked at against the
playoff team, and I looked at Giant right, and I
looked at what Mahomes did in the afternoon that he
put up Chris, I was like you, other than Josh
(26:33):
Allen going on the road Chris and beating the defending
Super Bowl champs, Other than that, he had the best day,
it ain't even close. And I, like I said, I
would give the Bills say the Bills were more impressive
than the Chiefs, but I would say Mahomes was more
impressive than Allen. You can argue Alan obviously was great,
but he did have the two interceptions. So as to me,
(26:55):
I get that, But I'm just saying, going on the
road against the defending champ and all that stuff, I
know what you're saying. And as far as just pure numbers, right,
Mahomes have better numbers. There's no doubt. I don't even
know how he could be even I don't even get
it right. That doesn't make it. And I'm gonna nick
right as you know. We're co hosting with Long with
(27:17):
Kevin Wilds on first things. First, he made a statement
he's huge Chiefs fan, and you know, obviously he was
glowing iry he is, he is, he'll, he'll he probably
would admit that. Um. But Rob, he made a statement
that I actually agree with. When he first said it,
I would had to think about it, but then I
(27:38):
looked at it, I was like, you know what, I
think I agree with him. He said that Patrick Mahomes,
it's the most disrespected great player in the league, and
I think it's come to that, Rob, if you look
down the list of teams I got saying, I'll throw
Lamar in there, but Lamar hasn't done what Mahomes has
(27:58):
as great as he's been, and I'll throw who was
the other player? We said it was Russell Wilson in there,
but he hasn't been as good as Mahomes. Ever, those
guys have been a bit disrespected recently. And then a
Dak Prescott, a Justin Herbert, a Josh Allen, even they've
(28:20):
been a little boosted up right, probably a little overrated recently.
But I do think Rob, and I said it Friday,
I don't have to rehash everything. I think he's a
victim of his own greatness early in his career. When
you come out in your first year as a starting,
throw fifty touchdowns and win the MVP, and then you
(28:44):
follow that up by winning the Super Bowl, and you've
been to the AFC title Game all four of your
seasons as a starter, like the standard has become either
win the Super Bowl or win the MVP. And if
you don't do that, you're trash or you know you're
falling off. And Rob, I challenge you, I mean, do
(29:06):
you disagree with that? Statement. I mean, I'm who who
has been as a great player, who has been a
bit more disrespected than Patrick Mahomes. They do not saying
he doesn't get any respect, but Rob nfl dot com
had him the fifth best quarterback and coming into the season, right.
I think it's probably a combination of they went God
(29:29):
God for him that he was going to be. You
don't even remember when they had the match up with
Tom Brady uh in that AFC championship game. You remember that?
Oh yeah, then when when when you and I when
you we I don't know, I was sad. We probably
had a TV beat radio. Yeah, I would remember that.
At the restaurant, Rob just left, just just left the restaurant.
(30:00):
Somehow you came back, somehow you came back. When I
heard you, did you know? They're like, how did you
know they tied it? Because people you were literally outside,
people came out of the restaurant. They were like, they
tied it? What happened? I was like, how did he do?
But anyway, um, I think so now they're trying like
(30:23):
like and you know, Chris, he was to catch me out.
Oh my god, he's gonna be the greatest quarterback. He
gonna win the MVP every year. You remember that. I mean,
it was like off the chain, and now I think
they're they're dialing it back the other way. I think
that's right. Do you do you think you see what
I'm saying. I think it's it has something to do
with how they were hand on him in the beginning
(30:46):
and then because he wasn't you know, winning as big
or whatever. And it's the thing that no, I know,
like you saying, Okay, you you've even been critical love
him for last season, but he's still for him, it
was an off year, right, That's all I'm saying. It
was thirty seven touchdowns in forty eight hundred yards, you
know what I mean? He still was great like some
(31:08):
guys with Hall of famers, and I'm not even talking
about old school. I don't think Russell Wilson's ever had
those numbers, right, you know, so, um yeah, I mean
he has been. I think you're right. And because people
and you know, I've called him Jordan esque, I said
he's got gold potential, which I stand by those statements.
(31:29):
But Rob, we saw people on TV saying he's the
best quarterback ever, and they meant they didn't mean obviously
you're rank him ahead of Brady historically, but they meant
like eye test, what who we've seen play the position,
he's the best ever and he had a ring and
an MVP to back it up, you know what I mean,
(31:50):
that's where people were going. So I don't know, right,
maybe there is a little bit of embarrassing. I think so.
And I think that's so yep, and I think that's
where the pushback is. But now I think they're as
much as they were on his bend wagon Chris. Right
now it's the other way, not an overcompensating I'm thinking
he's like, like, I think it's that's what I think
(32:12):
it'll be. Rob Gee, you said there's an explanation. Yeah,
you know what. I think Sam Munson, friend of the show.
I think he may have been listening to you or
just expecting you were gonna go heree something. No, this
was a few hours ago, but I think he knew
that the Eye couple was going to be happy about this. Right.
So here he has a screen grab of one of
(32:33):
the touchdown passes that Pat Mahomes through, which was a
shovel passed into the end zone. Says Mahomes has five tds.
This is one of them. The play design creates a
throw he could literally under arm, so it's wide the
hell open. So of course this is something that I'm
not gonna go greit for touchdown. And then and then
later on he says, down in distance matters, not all
seven yard passes are created equal. How tight coverage is
(32:54):
ball location. So basically, because he's hitting the open man
every time, he's getting counted against him. That's what that's
a great point. He's not throwing it to the difficult pass. Yeah,
he's just hitting the open guy for five touchdown, three
and sixty yards u UM. That gets Sam on
