00:00This is anthony who is listening in georgia. Hey anthony

00:04Hey, sir, how you doing? What's up?

00:07What's up, how y'all doing on the podcast? We're doing pretty pretty good. How y'all doing?

00:13I'm doing good, man. I'm at work. What's up?

00:17Okay, so my question is for everybody on the podcast would the patriots be interested in

00:24Aaron riley for the quarterback position with the with the hell no, would the patriots be interested in aaron rogers? Is that what you said?

00:31Yes, no, no, hell no. Is this a plant? I

00:37Sound like you're from georgia

00:39The pod on the podcast what part of georgia atl where you would know? Yeah, where are you in georgia? No

00:46milliville

00:47Okay, I went to uga

00:49So I know athens. Okay. Yeah

00:51So I went there and I lived in fayetteville

00:54Did you find us on the podcast? I'm like, oh yeah

00:57I was gonna ask because like did he just like randomly find us on the podcast and like spot us uh,

01:01Spotify or odyssey or something probably and that's why he just thinks we're a podcast. Yes

01:06Did you say villageville? No, I don't know. There's really no difference

01:09It's just like the form in which something is delivered like I know but it's just funny

01:13I've never heard this show be referred to as a podcast. Well, it is a right it is there

01:18There is a podcast there's podcast versions of the program but the show is the radio show but that's what it is

01:24It's a show but that's what a podcast is. Also. Sure. That's true

01:28I think it's a good sign because it's a podcast is like a younger listener. No, that's kind of why I was curious

01:32I was wondering if he found us in those methods because if so, I think that's great because he said millidgeville

01:37So, okay, like he might be listening, you know, and i'm like, all right

01:41I mean, it seems to me like aaron rogers may end up the quarterback for the steelers

01:45Yeah, I know the pats would know the

01:48No need to have the pats here because you have drake may and aaron rogers. I don't think he's going anywhere

01:54Where he's not having a legitimate opportunity to compete for a starting job

01:58Or maybe even be penciled in as the starter come week one, man. I would stay away from that

02:04I don't know why you'd want to invite that. No, thank you. Absolutely. It really is like a

02:10A cancer

02:12At this point in his life a locker room. What does he bring in? What is it besides the ayahuasca?

02:17What's he bringing to the table? Yeah, but mike tomlin like he's not gonna say anything to mike tomlin like if like he

02:24But I don't know I don't the whole the whole steeler situation is also interesting because like I love tomlin

02:32He might be my favorite coach in the league right now

02:35But that team is just stuck in purgatory because they are never going to bottom out

02:40So they're never going to get something in the draft and they are just going through these quarterbacks since rocklisberger

02:46That just keep them kind of slightly better than mediocre and they're never up or down

02:51They're just there in the playoffs not doing anything. But I think the question becomes with aaron rogers

02:57Is do teams look like all right? He was a year off of his achilles

03:03Does he have one more

03:07Kick at the can in him for him to be the aaron rogers

03:12That we've seen him to be that could be a veteran quarterback. You think he's washed

03:17That's but see that that and I think he's over it. I think he's he's over it

03:23Like don't you watch him and he looks disinterested, but then why wouldn't he just retire, right? I don't know

03:28I don't know. I don't think he is over it. I think I think he's he gets

03:32He gets very frustrated or he's one of them people that like kind of checks out

03:38When everything around them is bad like the organization the coaches have yeah the mark of a great leader

03:43Well, i'm not we're not discussing whether or not he's a great leader or anything like that

03:47But if the team around them is good if the coach is good if he respects the coach and likes the coach does he then?

03:54Stay focused and stay locked in and that's why I brought up vegas to be a good landing spot for him

04:02Well, if you buy the way the jets explained it

04:06You can say that he was more interested

04:10Or it was more important to him

04:12To be able to be on with pat mcafee than it was to keep his job and play for the jets, right?

04:19But I still wanted to do that. Huh? I don't even think that's true

04:22I think it was more so just a power play by the jets

04:24They're like you're gonna do what we say or you're gone and he's like no i'm not gonna do what you say

04:29I'm in charge here and they're like, okay. Bye

04:32Like i'm doing this on my day off on a tuesday with pat mcafee

04:37Who's my boy who pays me some money?

04:38This is a way for me, you know

04:40Even if it's not really about the money because I kind of agree with shy i'm like now you're telling me what I can't do

04:46On a tuesday on my day off. It's you know, and so they're probably using that as like

04:51Well, if you don't want to fall in line, we'll move on. This is tim from hanover. What's up tim?

04:57Guys great morning for you always. Oh, thank you

05:00Hey, I just want to say, um, mr. Hill. You are so right

05:05He's he's a cancer. But you know what? I used to love our aaron rogers

05:09I'd always thought he was a great quarterback, but let me tell you he's done now. He looks like he's throwing

05:15Baton practice and and I tell you what he's throwing ground balls everything. He's horrible

05:21He can't even get around on his feet no more

05:24Whoever picks him up is very very stupid just like they did with watson when they got watson to cleveland

05:30He was a nightmare and he wanted to be in that way. He never did nothing for him. He just brought him down

05:36but is he more like and i'm i'm asking this question because

05:42It is he more and I know russell wilson didn't have a great year

05:46But is he more of a change of scenery guy?

05:50Where you might go or or an organization goes

05:54he still

05:56Can be that type of quarterback that we're looking for because we don't have a guy right?

06:02He still has that in him

06:03We just he needs to be in the right and this is the perfect situation for him to be in

06:08And then you're that's why i'm if if you're going to the pittsburgh steelers and mike tomlin has been there for

06:1620 years now

06:18Yeah, like you're not gonna go down there and tell him what to do

06:21I don't care who you are or if you go play for brady in vegas

06:25You're probably not telling brady what to do

06:28Right if you're aaron rogers

06:30So I think that it becomes that question and and I know he's older and you know, he doesn't look the same

06:37But as an organization think that he especially an organization that might be kind of like right there

06:42Like pittsburgh is kind of like right there and they're just missing out on a quarterback

06:47I mean, it's kind of a waste of a sign though

06:49Like because you're not sure what he is and you're gonna have to give him but what else is out there

06:55Okay, but is he gonna do a deal? He's gonna want

06:58What do you think he's gonna want money-wise?

07:00Still have to pay him don't they so like he's not gonna require a ton. Yeah

07:04I don't know how I don't know how much of that was guaranteed money or whatever

07:07But like I look at it as would you rather pay sam darnold?

07:11Three years a hundred million guaranteed or would you rather sign aaron rogers to whatever contract he wants?

07:18I'd go with sam darnold. I would too. Absolutely, right, but uh, I guess the question is

07:24Is minnesota gonna let him go?

07:27Darnell. Yeah. Yeah, you think so? I do. I I I mean, I think that they're still high on j.j

07:34McCarthy and want to see that through and probably with the setup that they have there

07:40they feel like

07:41If maybe they're they're feeling like they can program any quarterback who they develop themselves

07:46Like they did with sam darnold and his redemption tour

07:49To at least get them to like the second round of the playoffs and they'll be good

07:53See because if you look at like sam donald's like the top three

07:57It's just gonna be so much cheaper to go to j.j

07:59McCarthy and you have one season that you saw of sam darnold, right?

08:03Because the thing you have to ask yourself and we're talking about with a guy like aaron rogers is all right

08:09Let's say sam donald's gonna is gonna run you somewhere to where the baker mayfield contract costs you and the pittsburgh steeles

08:15We're gonna have to guarantee this quarterback a hundred million dollars

08:19Let's say pittsburgh doesn't want to do that or maybe vegas is willing to do that

08:22Now if you're the pittsburgh steelers, you're still in the market for a quarterback

08:27But do you want justin fields as a free agent? You want russell? Wilson did that? Yeah, right

08:33I would rather justin fields than aaron rogers, but you already did that. Yeah, but you could bring him back

08:39Do you want mac jones? Do you want jimmy? I like these are the free agents. Jimmy garoppolo

08:43Marcus mariotta. Nah, excuse me. Jameis winston joe flacco. I might want james over aaron rogers

08:50So I james might go do media. That's true, too. He looked great on uh, super bowl media week

08:54So all i'm saying greg is that I think an organization is gonna look and they're gonna go

08:59All right

09:00If we hit on rogers for one year

09:03He's better than any of these potential free agents that are available

09:06Yeah, and does he have a little bit of left the gas left in the tank? It'll be interesting. It'll be very interesting
