00:00Can we just bring up the Colts quickly?

00:01Love it.

00:01Yes.

00:02Yeah, uh-huh.

00:02Chris Ballard is now in first place for worst GM in the league.

00:06Because I've never seen someone clearly not understand the things he's saying.

00:14They draft Anthony Richardson.

00:16They go, listen, man, we know this kid's raw.

00:19We got to give him time.

00:21He only started a handful of college games.

00:23And Anthony Richardson now in year number three, who has appeared in 15 NFL games, is going to lose out on the job to Daniel Jones.

00:37Okay, yeah, so Ballard should be fired immediately.

00:39No idea what he's doing.

00:40The whole thing.

00:42No, I'm sorry.

00:42I know I said it up to you.

00:43You thought you had a chance to talk.

00:44No, no, not yet.

00:46You're saying, Don, to give 19 games to the two young kids in Cleveland.

00:50Yes, correct.

00:51Why would anyone other than Anthony Richardson be the starting quarterback every single game in Indiana?

00:54You're right.

00:55That's exactly.

00:56Like, do the wheels fall off.

00:57Put him out there.

00:58I don't even care if he can.

00:59My leg hurts.

01:00Get back out there.

01:01Like, you're getting 17 games.

01:03You're good.

01:03We'll keep you.

01:04You're bad.

01:05We know you're bad.

01:06And we can move on.

01:07So the fact that, and also, by the way, he's at minus 130 now.

01:09Can he throw the football?

01:11Well, that's the problem.

01:11We're not even getting, like, a draw.

01:12We're not even getting, like, reports that he's going to be in training camp.

01:15And now he's the favorite again.

01:17Yeah, I would bet Daniel Jones minus 106.

01:19He can't start.

01:21Why is he starting?

01:22I'd rather Riley Leonard.

01:24You're talking about a team potentially built for a playoff run if you get above average competent quarterback play.

01:29That's the bottom line.

01:30Get out of here.

01:31Anthony Richardson completed 47% of his passes.

01:34I mean, it's pathetic.

01:36And?

01:37I'd still rather him than Daniel Jones.

01:39Roll him out there.

01:39The guy can't hit him a five-yard out.

01:41I mean, come on.

01:42He can't.

01:42I mean, Richardson's hitting the top of his head with flags, man.

01:45He's like, get me out of here.

01:46The problem is the shoulder injury is enough to say I'm not taking a shot.

01:51I'm not rolling the dice, giving him first-team reps.

01:53What's he doing on the roster, then, if you're not even going to give him a shot at being a starter?

01:56Daniel Jones' biggest selling point is his athleticism.

01:59His biggest selling point.

01:59And the other option is Anthony Richardson's friendly deal.

02:02He's not a good one, though.

02:03Oh, he's no better than they are.

02:04No, he's not.

02:05I'll think so.

02:06Look, I love Anthony Richardson in terms of the acting.

02:09You don't.

02:10No, you don't.

02:11No, you don't.

02:12Cut it out.

02:13Cut it out.

02:14I'm a Dolphins fan.

02:15No, no, no.

02:16He did make me money against the Jets.

02:18Four-and-a-point dog, 272, and two touchdowns on the ground.

02:22I bought into him that day.

02:24I did.

02:25He won the game outright against Aaron Rodgers.

02:27If we can get that week-to-week-to-week, I buy Anthony Richardson every week.

02:32He's hurt.

02:32Why wouldn't they just play him, though?

02:34His shoulder's going to be there.

02:35Why wouldn't they, if he's healthy, just run him out there every single week because

02:39you'll know if he stinks or isn't good and you can move on and say, we gave him an entire

02:42year, guys.

02:43What do you want?

02:44You have one of the best running backs in the league in Jonathan Taylor.

02:47So trade him.

02:48No.

02:49Trade who?

02:50Jonathan Taylor.

02:51No.

02:51Why is he on this football team?

02:54They're not good.

02:56Why is he on this team for what?

02:58I'll say this.

02:59You want to bet this team to make the playoffs?

03:01Yes, he does.

03:02With Daniel Jones?

03:03I'll take the shot.

03:04Come on now.

03:04I'll take the shot.

03:05Yeah.

03:06Yeah.

03:07Yeah.

03:09Shane Stiked in Coach of the Year tickets?

03:11He did.

03:11Why not?

03:12Guy reappears on the network after the Super Bowl making these brash announcements.

03:15All I know is you can't have a quarterback that can't hit a 10-yard out.

03:20Neither one can, though.

03:21Daniel Jones is the other...

03:22By the way, Daniel Jones' best attribute was that he signed a contract that you could

03:25escape in two years.

03:26Correct.

03:26That's his claim to fame.

03:27I don't love Daniel Jones.

03:29He's a significant upgrade.

03:30No, he's not.

03:31Wow.

03:31He's a downgrade.

03:32He's a downgrade.
