00:00Fans, Mark Dundaro's email said you have to bottom out to get the quarterback,
00:04and there are a lot of fans who agree, and I think there are teams that probably agree.
00:09You don't think New Orleans, in the back of their minds, knows exactly what they're doing this year?
00:14No, I don't think that they're in a bad spot, but this is not what they set out to do.
00:19I disagree with you.
00:21New Orleans has actually been competitive.
00:23Yes, but with that quarterback, they'll be just that, and they'll lose a lot of games.
00:28But do you think they wanted Derek Carr to get hurt so he would retire so they could bottom out and get the quarterback?
00:34That was their goal?
00:35Because that's why they're where they are.
00:37This season, but I do know.
00:38Angie Luck was acquired by the Colts because Peyton Manning hurt his neck and couldn't play the whole year.
00:43It wasn't Bill Polian's plan to bottom out.
00:46Our categorically fans, because I talk to them every day and so do you, so don't be disingenuous.
00:51Fans who believe the path is to lose and get a high draft pick, and that's how you get your quarterback.
00:56Most great quarterbacks are acquired in the top 10 of the draft.
00:59I think that that's somewhat factual.
01:02I think that's fine.
01:03So if fans look at that and say, well, we want to get the next great quarterback, we're probably going to have to get it in the top 10 of the draft.
01:10I don't think they're wrong for doing that.
01:12It's your best chance.
01:13You are wrong.
01:13You come up with different...
01:14Because that means you're a bad franchise.
01:16You don't want to be that.
01:18That's not...
01:19This is where I philosophically separate.
01:22It's the trade-off.
01:22People don't factor that in.
01:25They just think the draft pick fairy comes and drops high draft picks on good, smart organizations.
01:32But you don't.
01:32You think they want to do that.
01:34To be one of those top 10 teams, you've got to be a lousy organization.
01:40Correct.
01:40And so you either draft the wrong guy, or what it really is, is that the draft's an effing crapshoot.
01:45And the concessant's number one guy is usually not the guy.
01:48Which is why I don't think teams intentionally do it the way you think they do.
01:52Fans want them to do it.
01:54I'm not talking about the teams.
01:55I'm talking about what fans think is up to fans.
