00:00for another one of your guys, Justin Fields,

00:03three for four, 42 yards.

00:04I think the more important thing was a 13-yard touchdown run

00:08that he had on a scramble.

00:10I've kind of been saying this.

00:12I don't know where I'll land on the Jets' win total,

00:15but they really do have an opportunity

00:16to be one of the five best rush attacks in football

00:20and maybe even better than that.

00:22I think they could be a nine-win football team.

00:24I think they're the second-best team in the AFC East,

00:27and I know everybody's pumping up Vrabel and Drake May.

00:30I'm sold on McDaniel and the Dolphins.

00:33I believe in this team.

00:34They're young.

00:35They're healthy defensively.

00:37They have playmakers that could step up.

00:39And again, I don't expect them to knock off the Bills,

00:42but I think they can legitimately be a nine-and-eight,

00:45ten-and-seven football team.

00:46And what more can you ask for?

00:48Justin Fields, in my opinion, is a winner.

00:50Bottom line, run it, throw it.

00:52He'll find a way to get it done.

00:54It's similar, and I have to watch my choice of words.

00:58It's similar to the knock on Jalen Hurts.

01:01Jalen Hurts wasn't a quarterback,

01:02but all he did was win games, right?

01:05He won games in Alabama.

01:06He did it with his legs.

01:07You know I'm putting you on the spot.

01:09Is he as polished as a pocket passer as Jalen Hurts?

01:13No, but he wins games, Kev.

01:15And that's all that matters.

01:16It was 4-2 last year.

01:184-2.

01:19Joe.

01:19They had a better shot of winning a playoff game with Justin Fields

01:23than Russell Wilson at the end of the year.

01:25I said it.

01:26His career record is 14-30.

01:29What in the world are you talking about?

01:31He was playing with Eber Flus in Chicago.

01:33No, you can't be.

01:33No, you can't.

01:34Come on.

01:34So here's what you're doing.

01:35Come on.

01:35So here's what you're doing.

01:36Eber Flus is a terrible coach.

01:37Justin Fields' NFL career hasn't happened,

01:40and you're treating him like the kid coming out of Ohio State.

01:42Is that – because you can't go, kids are winner, 14-30.

01:46That's crazy.

01:47But we do the same thing with AR.

01:49No, I don't.

01:50I didn't say he's a winner.

01:52That'd be nuts.

01:53But he is a winner.

01:54No, it would be like me saying Anthony Richardson's

01:56the househouse quarterback in football.

01:57So wait a second.

01:58Justin Fields led Pittsburgh to a 4-2 overall record

02:01and lost his job.

02:02But Russell Wilson, that didn't elevate that team.

02:05That didn't elevate them in any capacity.

02:07If you want to tell me that Fields at this point in his career

02:11is as good as Russell Wilson at this point in his career,

02:16that's fine.

02:16That doesn't make Justin Fields a winner.

02:19And have you uttered the name of the Super Bowl MVP?

02:23Super Bowl MVP?

02:24Okay.

02:25Yes.

02:25In the Super Bowl?

02:26Yes.

02:26I said it's similar to –

02:28The MVP!

02:29He wasn't the MVP his first year coming out of college, was he?

02:32He heard nice.

02:33Oh, so Fields just got drafted.

02:35No, but I'm so –

02:35That's exciting.

02:36Look, I said it to you –

02:37That's exciting.

02:38I said it to you all offseason.

02:40Aaron Glenn and this staff will devise a game plan to Justin Fields' strengths,

02:45something Pittsburgh and something Chicago didn't do in his previous stints.

02:49You're going to see the best version of Justin Fields.

02:51And if he doesn't step up, I'll be the first one to admit it.

02:54I just think the upside is there where it's going to shock a lot of people.

02:58You will be the first one to admit it because it turns out you haven't admitted anything

03:01that's happened to his first 50 games.

03:02They're going to be a nine-win football team.

03:04They're going to be the second best team in the AFC East.

03:06I said it, and we'll see where it happens.

03:08Upside, he's only a couple months older than Tyler Schott.

03:09And you know how I feel about Hurts.

03:11I love Jalen Hurts.

03:12No, no, no, no, no, no.

03:13Oh, you love Jalen Hurts.

03:14Yeah, yeah.

03:15You love –

03:15No, don't you start now.

03:16You love Jalen Hurts.

03:17Fields and Hurts, hard to tell him apart according to Lisey Joe.

03:20We'll be –
