Athlon on the quarterbacks they would start and bench
Transcript
00:00Start five, bench five, quarterbacks.
00:03Brock Purdy.
00:04That's a weird intermediate one.
00:06It's like the perfect intermediate one.
00:07I'm going to bench him.
00:08I think, yeah, we're going to start in quarterbacks.
00:10I think there's a lot more that are better than him.
00:12I think he's got to go to the bench.
00:14We got Bryce Young.
00:15Bench.
00:16Bench.
00:17Bench.
00:19Bo Nix.
00:20Bench.
00:21You got to bench.
00:22Well, maybe we should have started Brock Purdy.
00:24Yeah, I know, the bench is filling up quick.
00:27JJ McCarthy.
00:28Got to bench.
00:29They don't even know what he does yet.
00:31They don't even know if they should bench him.
00:33Okay, Gino Smith.
00:35I'd start him.
00:36I think you got to start him.
00:37We can't take our last bench spot
00:39and then end up having to start Aiden O'Connell or...
00:42Well, I think he's better than any
00:43of the quarterbacks we've gotten so far, so.
00:45You think he's better than Brock Purdy?
00:47Yeah, I think Gino or Brock.
00:48Yes.
00:49I think he's definitely close.
00:51All right, Joe Burrow.
00:52Start, baby.
00:53He doesn't have aura.
00:55Bench.
00:56Justin Fields.
00:58I think we got to bench Fields
00:59and just rock with what we get.
01:01I think he got to bench Fields.
01:02I think so.
01:04Let's go, Patrick Mahomes.
01:06Thank God.
01:07We're going to win.
01:09Oh no, Steelers.
01:10They don't even have a quarterback yet.
01:12We got to start Mason Rudolph, guys.
01:14Hey, of all the bench guys to throw in as a starter,
01:17he gives you some hope.
01:19If this is a pitching rotation,
01:21that game is going to suck.
01:24Drake May.
01:25Let's go, my boy.
01:27We could do so much worse.
01:28All right, well, Mason Rudolph is the clear outlier.
01:30If we just swap Purdy with Rudolph.
01:33I would swap Rudolph with literally everybody else
01:35on the bench.
