00:00
Would the Steelers pay $20 million for Kirk Cousins in a trade?
00:05
Scott, here's the situation.
00:07
They're a team to watch if they do not get Dart or Sanders in the first two rounds, Scott.
00:11
If they don't get their guy, I don't care what they say about Mason Rudolph.
00:15
Mason Rudolph is not a 17-game starter plus playoffs, okay?
00:19
If you want to be a playoff team, okay, I could tell you from how they feel
00:25
from talking to people with the Steelers, they love their roster.
00:28
This is one of the better rosters they've put together in years,
00:30
but they don't have a quarterback.
00:32
They don't have a quarterback.
00:34
And it didn't work out, obviously, at least to this point with Aaron Rodgers.
00:38
Now, yes, that situation is still open, okay?
00:43
So let me ask you about Sanders.
00:46
As you've seen him literally be dragged through the mud over the last 48 hours,
00:52
people bashing him like he's an idiot
00:55
and that he's a horrible quarterback and he did horrible in interviews
01:00
and no one said one good word about him.
01:03
And his dad's not sticking up for him, which is shocking to me.
01:07
Do they still prefer that guy, the Steelers, over Milrow,
01:11
a guy that's never had a problem ever
01:13
and that actually played in monster games that they said over and over that they liked?
01:18
They're going to take this potential problem.
01:21
This guy's so cocky and everyone says he's a moron
01:24
and they're going to take him over this kid that, honestly,
01:27
that's what people are saying about it.
01:28
You watch this stuff.
01:31
All right.
01:31
Let me unpack.
01:33
That's a lot to unpack.
01:34
I'm going to explain everything you just said.
01:36
First of all, if Aaron Rodgers,
01:38
and Rodgers has not given a timeline to be clear here,
01:41
they still want him, okay?
01:42
But let's put him to the side, okay?
01:44
Let's say he doesn't play for him.
01:45
He retires, right?
01:46
He's not playing for them.
01:47
Okay.
01:47
Just hear me out here.
01:48
They need an answer, okay, for the future quarterback.
01:51
So Rodgers has nothing to do with him getting a young quarterback.
01:53
If Rodgers said tomorrow, I want to play for you guys, that's done.
01:57
That doesn't change the fact that they need a future quarterback position.
01:59
Now, Jalen Milrow, okay?
02:01
You talked about Milrow.
02:02
He's a project.
02:03
Shadur Sanders is ready to play.
02:05
The knock on Sanders, Scott, you asked that question.
02:08
I'll explain that to you right now.
02:10
Arm strength, not great, okay?
02:11
Not a great athlete.
02:13
But he's a pocket passer and he's an accurate passer.
02:15
He is a late first round, early second round player, okay?
02:19
I know plenty of teams that don't have first round grades on him.
02:22
I told you last year, right here on SportsGrid, Bo Nix had plenty of second and third round grades.
02:27
But there were a couple teams that liked him in back of the first round.
02:31
One of them was the Denver Broncos, and I got to give them credit.
02:34
To this point, they're right.
02:36
Teams get quarterbacks wrong all the time.
02:37
You know that, Scott.
02:39
You've been covering this business for a long time.
02:40
Shadur Sanders is a nice college quarterback who projects well as the son of a coach and a player.
02:46
But he doesn't wow anyone.
02:47
That's what people have a problem with.
02:49
There's nothing wow about his game.
02:51
Cam Ward is a wow quarterback.
02:54
Arm strength and ability.
02:55
Cam Ward is a much better talent than Shadur Sanders.
02:58
That's the bottom line.
02:59
Yeah, you got that right.
03:00
I was wowed.
03:00
I said wow when he lost to Georgia Tech.
03:03
I said wow when he lost to Syracuse.
03:05
And then I said wow when he lost the bowl game to Iowa State.
03:08
Except I added a bunch of swear words to all of those wows.
