00:00I know you just sat down with the new starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts,

00:03former Giants, embattled quarterback, Daniel Jones.

00:06It's funny with Daniel.

00:08There's two separate camps on him.

00:10The one camp is, was never his fault.

00:13Obviously, he had the one playoff win against Minnesota on the road.

00:16Saquon had a great game that day as well.

00:18He just never had a good offensive line, never had weapons, coaching, all that stuff.

00:22The other side is, he ain't any good.

00:24You spent time with him.

00:26He is the starting quarterback in Indy.

00:28What's your just overall take on where he's at?

00:30The first thing I asked him, Craig, was, were you set up for success in New York?

00:34Yep.

00:35And I was really curious to see what he said.

00:37And he said, a lot of the onus is on me.

00:40I did not play well enough.

00:42And ultimately, the quarterback is responsible for winning and losing.

00:46He did say, obviously, there were injuries, but the onus is on me.

00:50And I thought that was pretty cool.

00:53I wasn't expecting him to necessarily go there.

00:55And then I said, what's the difference between Indy and New York?

00:58And he said, obviously, the markets are drastically different.

01:01The attention is different.

01:02The attention.

01:03But I think if it's going to happen for Daniel, it needs to happen now.

01:08And the reason I think it could is because of his relationship with Shane Steichen, who

01:12obviously did a lot for Jalen Hurts.

01:14Right.

01:15Did not work out yet with Anthony Richardson.

01:17Daniel goes there, gets paid about 15 million bucks.

01:19He wins the job and he played golf with Shane that day.

01:23And I said, what is the connection with Shane?

01:25And he just said, schematically, he's tremendous.

01:28But there's a lot of trust that he's developed with him that I think could play a significant

01:32role.

01:33Yeah, I was always in the camp.

01:34I think he could be a good quarterback.

01:36He's never going to be a top 10 quarterback.

01:38Nor do you have to be, by the way, you know, to have success.

01:40And my gut was when Indy signed him.

01:43I thought it was a really smart signing because I don't think they really believed in Anthony

01:48Richardson, he's got some ridiculous freak athletic talent, but you got to also have

01:52the ability to understand how to read your defense and how to not rely just on your ability

01:57to run and throw the ball into tight windows and all that nonsense.

02:01So I thought they signed Daniel to make him the number one quarterback.

02:05Now, if Anthony had beat him out, even better.

02:07Now you've got two quarterbacks, you have a backup.
