00:00The other part of this is the quarterback, Daniel Jones, who I think his contract...

00:03They're pushing all their chips in, John.

00:04That's just it.

00:05But here's the thing.

00:06Daniel Jones' contract, I think, is up at the end of this season, right?

00:09Are they prepared, really, to pay the amount of money it's going to take to keep...

00:14They better be.

00:14There's no other option.

00:15I would love to be Daniel.

00:1630, 40, 50 million, whatever it is.

00:19Daniel Jones' agent is a guy named Brian Murphy, who's a local guy.

00:22I would love to be Brian Murphy right now.

00:24Yeah.

00:24Because they have no other option.

00:27Well, Anthony Richardson, of course.

00:28Like, honestly, yeah.

00:31That's the thing is, like, when you take those first-round picks away, that's how you would get into it.

00:34No other option.

00:35Right?

00:35Like, so, now it's...

00:37Now, like, they...

00:38If I were them, if I were the Colts, I would go to him now.

00:41Because you don't have to try.

00:42I would, too.

00:43So, there's no...

00:43Don't wait until the offseason.

00:45Go to him now and try to get something done now.

00:47I mean, that said, he's played great.

00:49You think he can keep this up over the next two or three years?

00:52We'll see.

00:53But, like, I think there's just...

00:55There have been enough cases like this now, haven't there, Baker?

00:58Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold.

01:00I mean, Sam Darnold's been outstanding in Seattle.

01:03I got money on him for MVP.

01:04And now Sam's done it in two different places.

01:07So, you can't just say it's Minnesota and Justin Jefferson and Kevin O'Connell and all that anymore.

01:12And Baker Mayfield has done it, like, with three different offensive coordinators in Tampa.

01:17So, I think you can certainly look at Daniel Jones and reasonably say the Giants failed him.

01:25And, like, this...

01:27Having this environment around him with a really good offensive head coach, like, this has pumped life into his career.

01:35And he played well in spots with the Giants, too.

01:37Like, in 22, in Dave Hall's first year, he was really good.

01:41So, it's not like we haven't seen it before.

01:42I think you're right, though.

01:44You know, it's still tough to wrap your head around the idea of a late bloomer quarterback.

01:48But, when you see it a couple of times over, whether it's with Darnold or Baker Mayfield, like, okay, it's not necessarily an anomaly anymore.

01:57It just happens.

01:58Goff.

01:59Gino Smith, to a degree, like, you know...

02:01I mean, Goff wasn't really a late bloomer.

02:03Goff was a different case.

02:04Because, because Goff didn't fail in Los Angeles.

02:06But, he wasn't believed to be a franchise quarterback.

02:09Right.

02:10He just needed to be with a real capital T team.

02:12Right.

02:13And, I actually think, like, for whatever it's worth...

02:15Like, a team that wins a lot of Super Bowls.

02:16Like, I think we're sort of in a golden age for quarterbacks now.

02:19Like, I think there are more good quarterbacks in the NFL than maybe there ever have been.

02:22Yeah.

02:23Like, I think that there's, like, more competent quarterbacking.

02:26Because, I mean, people...

02:27And, look, like, I think we all romanticized when we grew up, right?

02:29And, for all of us in this room, like, for me, it was Marino, Kelly.

02:34Rob, you know, Elway, Montana.

02:36Like, those are the names.

02:38And, you romanticized those guys.

02:41Who was the 12th best quarterback then?

02:44Was it Eric Kramer?

02:45You know what I mean?

02:46Like...

02:46It was Ken O'Brien, but we don't have to get into it.

02:49And, who's the 12th best quarterback now?

02:51You know what I mean?

02:52Like, it might be Daniel Jones.

02:55Well, yeah.

02:55I mean, top 15 quarterbacks.

02:57I mean, I just saw a quarterback ranking that had May 8th.

03:00And, if May's 8th, that means there's a lot of really good quarterbacks in the top 10.
