Transcript

00:00It seems like the ceiling is sky high.

00:04I mean, what a difference one season makes, you know,

00:08and another coach and another coordinator makes.

00:11And I think he's going to be a superstar in this league,

00:15especially if they surround him with more talent, some more protection.

00:20I can tell right now because in the quarterback position,

00:24year one to year two is the biggest.

00:27This is what we're going to see.

00:29You know what I mean?

00:30Other positions, you take a little bit more time to develop,

00:32but when you get drafted that high, you're expected to go in and play right away.

00:36Look what they're going down there in Tennessee right now.

00:39It's bad.

00:40If they had to do it all over again, who would be the number one pick?

00:43Drake May, if they had to do it all over again,

00:46Drake May would be the number one pick by the way he's performing right now.

00:49Drake May was in the draft before Tennessee.

00:52Drake May was in the draft before.

00:53I'm just saying he would be the number one.

00:56He's saying if he had to do Drake's draft, he would be number one.

00:59Yeah, exactly.

00:59And he's talking about, you know.

01:00Right.

01:01Well, I mean, even if you have a word about how bad.

01:03How many guys in the NFL would you take from today going forward?

01:07So, like, the age matters.

01:09How many guys in the NFL would you take before you'd start your team with Drake May?

01:13So, age matters.

01:14Okay, so...

01:15None.

01:16How old is...

01:1723.

01:18Josh Allen?

01:1927 or 30.

01:21Okay, so maybe Josh, Lamar.

01:26Josh Allen is 29.

01:2729.

01:28So...

01:29You would take Lamar Jackson over Drake May.

01:31I wouldn't.

01:31I would.

01:32I would.

01:33Whether it's injuries or everybody always has an issue with him in the postseason.

01:36I mean, we haven't seen what Drake May could be in the postseason, but his personality

01:41does not...

01:42No, I'm not.

01:42I mean, listen.

01:43Drake May is five years younger.

01:44What time?

01:45He's five years younger.

01:45I'm going to still go with Lamar right now because I think...

01:49Oh, God.

01:50No, if you put...

01:51You and Wiggy.

01:51No, no.

01:52This guy is a two-time MVP.

01:54MVP, Greg.

01:54That's right.

01:55Drake May is going to be a one-time MVP.

01:56I have a two-time MVP, though.

01:57You can't win in the playoffs.

01:59Like, the pressure...

02:00Right, and I'm not saying...

02:01The lights are too bright for him.

02:02No, and maybe they are, but I'm not saying...

02:04Put on sunglasses.

02:05I'm not saying...

02:05But we don't know if Drake May is going to win in the playoffs.

02:07Yeah, I feel confident in that.

02:09I mean, Josh Allen don't win in the playoffs.

02:11Like, unless you're winning the Super Bowl.

02:13So, would you take him over Josh Allen?

02:15Great.

02:15Lamar Jackson?

02:16No, I'm talking about...

02:17Drake May?

02:18Yeah.

02:19I would.

02:20Yes.

02:20Josh Allen's 29.

02:21I got recency bias here and Homer bias.

02:24I mean, Josh Allen is...

02:26Contract, age, talent, all taken into consideration.

02:30Drake May is the number one choice.

02:32He is.

02:33All right.

02:33Right now, I mean, we still...

02:35I mean, look, I'm on...

02:37Listen, I love Drake May, but you guys are out of your mind.

02:39But you're talking about...

02:40Like you said, you're out of your damn mind.

02:42It's a two-time MVP.

02:44Wiggy, remind me if I'm wrong.

02:45I'm sorry.

02:46Didn't we have this conversation and people said I'd be crazy to trade him for Burrow?

02:50And now we're saying we'd take him over Lamar Jackson?

02:52Yeah, I mean, listen...

02:53Lamar Jackson is a two-time MVP.

02:55He's a guy that has carried that franchise on his back.

02:59And I think you can also, when you want to use these analogies, saying, okay, if you

03:03take Drake May, you know, and take him away from Josh McDaniel, take him away from Mike

03:09Vrabel, would he perform there?

03:11Or would you put him in Lamar Jackson's office?

03:13If you take Lamar Jackson...

03:15Right.

03:15...or Josh Allen, you put him on the Patriots, would they do better than Drake May is doing

03:21right now?

03:21Hell yeah.

03:22You damn right.

03:22Hell yeah.

03:23You damn right.

03:24So, I think you've got to look at it from that standpoint.

03:26He's not there.

03:27He's coming, and he's going to be a superstar, but right now, in his second year, you can't

03:32compare him...

03:32Yeah, but the conversation...

03:33That's like comparing him to Patrick Mahomes.

03:35Yeah, yeah, but the conversation isn't to win a game tomorrow or to win the Super Bowl

03:39this year.

03:40It doesn't matter.

03:41It is for the rest of your franchise.

03:42Okay, will you put him over Patrick Mahomes, too?

03:44For the future of my franchise, yes.

03:45Patrick Mahomes is entering his 30s.

03:46You say it, age does not matter.

03:49No, I said age does matter.

03:51Age, contract, and talent all matter.

03:53Okay, but so even if age matters...

03:55I am the one who says frequently age does not matter.

03:57That's correct.

03:58All right, Curtis.

03:58You look like you're 28.

04:00But soul of an 18-year-old.

04:01But even if age matters, let's say Lamar and Josh Allen...

04:06Lamar's 28, Josh Allen's 29.

04:08Those guys are still going to be good come 37.

04:11So, let's say you got 10 years with them, and maybe you got 12 to 15 with Drake.

04:18And I don't know, because Drake May is having an unbelievable year, and I think the kid's

04:24going to be good.

04:25But we've seen a lot, a lot of guys in the NFL have one good year and then fall off.

04:31I've seen Josh Allen over, I don't know how many years he's been in the league.

04:34I've seen Lamar Jackson over how many years he's been in the league.

04:36Well, who do you put in that category?

04:38And I'm assuming, are you allowing for injuries or not?

04:42Well, yeah, that's the thing, though, Greg.

04:44For me, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen are three guys without hesitation.

04:50Given everything I know, even their contracted age, I'm taking ahead of Drake May.

04:54We don't know what's the most difficult thing, Ty and Wiggy, as a great quarterback.

05:00Doesn't it have to be that you're always on the field and you're durable?

05:03We don't know that.

05:04He might be.

05:05Drake May may play every week.

05:06But if you're talking about durability, then you have to take that into account with Lamar Jackson.

05:10Right.

05:10And I'm still, right.

05:11But even when it comes to an example of somebody having a great year and then whatever falling off,

05:16are you talking like Jaden Daniels?

05:18Like, is that an example?

05:19No, I'm talking about, like, I mean, we've seen them, whether it's RG3 or we've seen it with maybe,

05:27I think Trevor Lawrence had a really good year.

05:30We've seen it with Justin Herbert.

05:31Lamar Jackson has basically played in every single game, except for he's had, like, a couple years where he only played in 12 games.

05:39So has he had injuries?

05:41But everybody can have injuries.

05:42I mean, short of Tom Brady, everybody deals with something.

05:47Right.

05:47And if you're telling me right now for the next five to six to seven, eight years.

05:51I would take Tom Brady today as is.

05:53But I'm saying for the next five to six, seven, eight years, because, you know, 12 years is pushing it or 10 years is pushing it.

06:01Give me Mahomes, Allen, and Lamar without even hesitating.

06:07Because Ty brings up a good point.

06:08And if you put Drake May and Todd Munkin's offense with the Baltimore Ravens, you'd think he would.

06:14They'd still be great.

06:15They have Derrick Henry running the football league.

06:17Bullshit.

06:18Come on, Sean.

06:19Bang!

06:20Come on.

06:21Bullshit.

06:22Oh!

06:22I'm sorry.

06:23Stop.

06:23We have to dump out of that.

06:24We have to stop.

06:25Come on, man.

06:26You can't say that, Lamar.

06:28They still win the division.

06:28Everything is running around.

06:29Come on, man.

06:30How many Super Bowls?

06:31What's Derrick Henry's stats right now?

06:33Huh?

06:33What's Derrick Henry's stats right now?

06:35I think they're decent, but Lamar, before he got hurt, I think he had 12 touchdowns and

06:39one interception or two interceptions.

06:40So he was playing at a high level.

06:41He won one game.

06:43And at one time, we was talking about, hey, Matt Jones look all right.

06:48At one time, we was all saying that, too.

06:51So, again, you have to give him more time.

06:54Greg's still saying it.

06:55And that's kind of disrespectful to talk about putting Drake May as well as he is playing

07:01to, say, put him in the category.

07:03Drake May's running back is averaging the lowest yards per carry in the league.

07:08Right.

07:08You give him the offensive lines and the running backs of the Ravens or the Bills, and he'd

07:13be even better.

07:14Stop it.

07:15That's the crazy start.

07:16Stop it.

07:17I'm probably right about that.

07:17I am.

07:19He's not.

07:19No, he's not.

07:20Absolutely.

07:21So you're saying if Josh Allen is in this offense with Mike Vrabel,

07:33and Josh McDaniels, Drake May's still performing better than him.

07:39I think they'd still be 6-2.

07:41We're not talking about that.

07:42Drake May is not falling off.

07:44I'm not saying he's falling off.

07:46He's every week.

07:47He is breaking records historically.

07:51You know, he's seven games with over 100 QBR.

07:54Hey, I'd say his efficiency is off-chain, but it's about longevity, too.

08:00We're still fairly early in the season.

08:03You know what I mean?

08:03What's the Patriots' record?

08:04Huh?

08:056-2.

08:06If Lamar or Josh Allen are a quarterback, you're 8-0.

08:10Lamar's team is 1-5.

08:11You know, I'm saying here.

08:13I'm saying here.

08:13We're not talking about Baltimore.

08:15Baltimore's team is better than this team.

08:17I got a question.

08:18Patrick Mahomes.

08:19If you put Patrick Mahomes here, do you still take—

08:22You probably ain't know if Patrick Mahomes is here.

08:24I'll give you that one.

08:24And you are with Josh Allen and you are with Lamar Jackson

08:27because in Baltimore, the reason why they stink

08:29is because their defense is pathetic, right?

08:32So let's talk about why they stink in Baltimore.

08:34You put Lamar Jackson here.

08:36You put Josh Allen here because we're talking about those two guys.

08:40We'll keep Mahomes out of the conversation.

08:42This team is 8-0.

08:43No, they do not lose to the Raiders in week one.

08:47And they do not lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers at home.

08:50Nope.

08:50Because your team—

08:51Well, Josh Allen doesn't stop your running back

08:53in the Steelers game from fumbling the football three times.

08:57No, no, no.

08:57But you know why he does?

08:58Because he runs the football.

09:00Right.

09:00So does your quarterback.

09:01When are you talking about James Cook just ran it like 15 or 20 times

09:04literally yesterday or Sunday?

09:05No, Drake—I mean, Greg is saying that in the Pittsburgh game,

09:11Ramondre fumbled.

09:12And I'm saying that if Josh Allen's your quarterback,

09:15he's probably not giving it to Ramondre.

09:17Josh Allen's keeping it and knows why he don't fumble a touchdown.

09:21And Josh Allen is not throwing an interception on the two-yard line.

09:24He's putting back pylon.

09:25So for you to say—and listen, I love Drake, man.

09:27I think he's going to be a great player.

09:29But for you to say that if Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are here,

09:33that this team wouldn't be 8-0, man, pass me the blunt.

09:36Another question for you because I was doing this last night during dinner

09:41going through the schedule.

09:44Did they just play the best defense that they were going to play this season?

09:48You know what?

09:49They played the best player that they're going to play on defense,

09:53which is Miles Garrett.

09:54You see what happened.

09:55You know what I mean?

09:56He gets five sacks.

09:57So I don't think this is the best defense.

10:01I mean, Cleveland, that's all they got.

10:03I mean, Buffalo's defense stinks.
