WQAM-AM / AM 560 Sports WQAM

A Bryce Young vs Tua Tagovailoa debate that isn't as one-sided as we previously thought.

Transcript

00:00You guys saw Christian McCaffrey yesterday just pretty much single-handedly beat the Bryce Young-led Carolina Panthers.

00:07What's your feeling on Bryce Young, Solano? You've been high on him for a couple of seasons.

00:12He's had some bangers this season, no doubt. Where do you stand on Bryce Young?

00:17If he could play the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons every single game, then I think he'd be okay.

00:25The problem is that is not the case. The Bryce doesn't seem to be right currently.

00:31All right.

00:31Hey, hey. Clever. You know what? He's very two-ish. He's little. He makes a lot of mistakes.

00:42Him and two have a lot in common, I believe. He can make throws like two used to be able to make throws.

00:46I think he was a thousand times better than him.

00:50Right. And you sit here right now today?

00:52Yep.

00:53If you had a game to win for the existence of Earth, the aliens come down.

01:04What was Max Kellerman's question?

01:07Yeah, laser beam pointed down at Earth.

01:11And you can't pick Andre Iguodala.

01:12So who do you pick?

01:13Honestly, you have to win one football game and your quarterback choices are Tua or Bryce Young.

01:23Obviously, the best solution is sell all your property and your belongings and do whatever you can until the end is coming.

01:34But no, you have to win one football game.

01:36Your choices are Bryce Young or Tua.

01:38Who are you picking right now?

01:39It's not an easy runaway.

01:41I would go Tua.

01:43But it's close.

01:44It's close, though, Hawk.

01:45That's sad because Bryce hasn't done anything.

01:48Oh, no.

01:49Now, Hawk, you think about 2023 all the time.

01:53As we sit here today, as we've watched Tua go out there and get choked out, throw four interceptions in the Carolina game.

01:59Like, I think you're living in the past with Tua, man.

02:04We scored 16 damn points and it took four and a half quarters.

02:08He was on a two-game winning streak.

02:10What's Bryce Young on?

02:10I know one game losing streak.

02:14Yeah, that's right.

02:18I'm taking J.J. McCarthy.

02:23Alabama QBs.

02:25Kind of trash when they get to the NFL, huh?

02:28This has been a thing for a long time.

02:30Yeah, no.

02:31I mean, kind of just very mid, I guess.

02:34Jalen.

02:34Jalen's in the game.

02:36Yeah, but he was kicked out of Bama for these guys.

02:40If you're giving me the option to go one drive for the fate of the universe, I'm taking Tua Tungabailoa.

02:48One full football game, I'm taking Bryce Young.

02:52Stop it.

02:52Because I don't know if Tua can stay healthy.

02:54Stop it.

02:55What are you talking about?

02:56He's been healthy all season.

02:57What do you mean you don't know if he can stay healthy?

03:00This is healthy from Tua Tungabailoa?

03:02I mean, he hasn't missed any plays other than when he was benched.

03:07Now, okay, I'll say this.

03:09You have to pick a quarterback to have a better record through an entire 17-game season.

03:16I'm taking Bryce Young.

03:18A quarterback?

03:20We have to finish over .500 for that late to be not the real stuff.

03:24You think the Dolphins have a different record this season if Bryce Young is their quarterback?

03:32Yes, yes.

03:34You think that, what are they, four and seven right now?

03:37They're better.

03:38You think the Dolphins have more than four wins this season if Bryce Young is their quarterback?

03:46Yes, I think the Dolphins have more talent than the Panthers do.

03:51No, no, no, no.

03:52Take Bryce Young, put him on this Dolphins squad.

03:57Rod, you're telling me they have more than four wins because Bryce Young is that much better than Tua?

04:04I'm not saying that much better, but yes.

04:06I would say yes.

04:07And McDaniel's system, I think Carolina's system's not that good.

04:11Yeah.

04:11I think Bryce Young would have five wins right now at least.

04:15Solana?

04:18Man, Crowder, I mean, I don't know what you're doing with Bryce Young.

04:21And I'm the Bryce guy.

04:22What are you doing with Tua?

04:23I think Tua is a way better passer, man.

04:30Tua is just overall just a better passer.

04:32Bryce Young can get out of the pocket.

04:34He's shown some flashes.

04:35He can get out of the pocket, make some plays.

04:37That dude is a deer in headlights 90% of the time.

04:40You take away his stats from the Falcons win,

04:44he's literally averaging like 107 yards per game passing.

04:49It's bad, bad.

04:51Tua is a better overall quarterback.

04:52I was riding with you because I thought we were trolling Hawk.

04:55But I mean, Bryce Young is really, really the definition of like,

05:04you hope he's mid.

05:06You know what I mean?

05:07You hope he ends up being mid.

05:10Tua, at the very least, you know is going to come out.

05:12And at his best, he's going to connect on some decent routes with his weapons.

05:18I think they might have a different record, Crowder.

05:24I think it's worse than four and seven.

05:26Like, I'm with you that they might have a different record.

05:28I think they might be three and eight or two and nine.

05:32This two-game winning streak, Tua has completed 30, what, 29 passes for 173 and 171.

05:40You're acting like Tua's throwing up 400 yards a game.

05:44These are pedestrian numbers.

05:46Is there a game Tua Tunga-Wailoa has won this season?

05:50The only game I can think of that he has won with his arm was the Falcons game,

05:57where it wasn't even necessarily his stats, but he was 20 of 26.

06:02He threw four touchdowns.

06:03He had over 200 yards in that game.

06:05And he was just connecting on all cylinders.

06:09Outside of that game?

06:10That's a good one.

06:11It's been a chance season.

06:12So now, when you look at it through that prism, if you put Bryce Young on this team,

06:19they're probably four and seven.

06:21They're probably four and seven.

06:24Oh, no.

06:24They're very similar, but I guess I'm getting after how y'all are looking like.

06:28Y'all are saying, Bryce Young?

06:30I'm getting a saying to his name like you're saying Bryce Young's name.

06:35I'm not saying it.

06:36Yeah, because I think you're overstating Bryce Young.

06:39And I think y'all are overstating, too, because of the past performance of last season.

06:45This season, bro.

06:47Well, Bryce Young's never had a 2023 to a season.

06:51I mean, that's fine.

06:52You can't keep going backwards.

06:54I understand what you're saying.

06:55But Bryce Young's never had that.

06:57But give Bryce Young Tyreek Hill.

06:59Give Bryce Young Jalen Waddell.

07:01Give Bryce Young Devon H.

07:02And man, Crowder, you got me swinging back over to you.

07:04And put him in Mike McDaniel's offense.

07:08And the fact that he's mobile.

07:10I think the Dolphins...

07:11Well, that's the part that I'm hesitating on.

07:14Because, you know, I love the naked boot.

07:16And you can't do it with Tua.

07:18You can do it with Bryce Young.

07:21You open up the offense more.

07:23You can do a lot more.

07:24You can move him.

07:26You can run.

07:27Like, yes, you can do more with Bryce Young.

07:29We are in sports hell.

07:33Let me just...

07:36Bryce Young actually has thrown for more yards this season.

07:40Less touchdowns, less interceptions.

07:42But both have 42 quarterback ratings.

07:44They're the same person, fellas.

07:45But you said they'd have more wins with Bryce Young.

07:48I am more inclined to say, yes, they are the same person.

07:53They're the same guy.

07:54Yeah, so I'm with you.

07:56Same record.

07:56But Bryce is on his puppy deal.

07:59We just paid two or half a billion dollars.

08:00Well, that's a different...

08:01That's a complete different story.

08:03I just...

08:03He's old.

08:04He's...

08:05He...

08:05If he had thrown about 50 yards, he just falls down and gets sacked.

08:09I've just seen too much this year.

08:10You know, when your eyes are open...

08:12I think my eyes are now open on Tua.

08:14Yeah.

08:15How did Brock Purdy throw three interceptions in the first half?

08:19And the Niners were still up 17-3 in the fourth quarter?

08:23Yeah, Ticket Wizard texted me.

08:25I wasn't watching it because I was watching the Heat and the Bulls games and the Panthers

08:28game.

08:30NFL football actually fell to fourth on my list last night.

08:33But Ticket Wizard texted me out of nowhere.

08:35I just got a text and it said, is Brock Purdy colorblind?

08:40And I wasn't watching the game.

08:42So, did he look terrible?

08:45Through three interceptions.

08:46And the third one was just bad.

08:49Clean pocket.

08:50Just overthrew his receiver.

08:53But again, they were up 17-3 late in the third quarter.

08:56It was insane.

08:58I think after...

08:59What was it?

09:00After two of the interceptions, the Carolina Panthers got an automatic three and out.

09:04Like, the 49ers defense would just choke them to death, even with the ball.

09:08Get it on the 30, choke you to death.

09:09Get it on the 50, choke you to death.

09:09Here's a question for you, Solana, on the chat.

09:12Who's better, Chalmers or Drew Smith?

09:15And before you answer that, I know what Drew Smith's numbers were yesterday.

09:21What are you talking about?

09:22His three assists?

09:24Nope.

09:26Did you see Drew Smith's numbers?

09:28I check the box score every morning because I want to see Davion Mitchell's numbers because

09:32I'm waiting.

09:33I'm like a buzzard ready to bounce.

09:36Yeah, it wasn't his best game either yesterday.

09:37Did you see Drew Smith's numbers?

09:40I've got to go back and look at this because it jumped out to me.

09:42What is it?

09:430-6, 0-3 from beyond the arc.

09:46Three total rebounds.

09:48He only had one assist.

09:49Zero points.

09:49He was a minus 15 in the game.

09:51That was your Drew crew.

09:52Yeah, not good.

09:54Not good yesterday.

09:55Mario Chalmers should have his jersey retired by this organization.

10:00That is not schtick.

10:01Oh, stop it.

10:02By Kansas.

10:03Has Kansas retired his jersey?

10:05I believe, yeah.

10:06I believe.

10:06That's fine.

10:06That's plenty for Mario.

10:08That's plenty.

10:09Mario Chalmers.

10:10Congrats, Rio.

10:11Congrats.

10:12He started on this roster for this franchise for two NBA titles as the starting point guard.

10:20He's the only rookie in the history of this franchise to start all 82 games.

10:26Mario Chalmers deserves to have his jersey retired.

10:30The number six jersey, by the way.

10:31Just for being on the team?

10:34Solana does this all the time.

10:35For delivering in the biggest moments in the franchise's history.

10:41I mean, Ray Allen might have hit that shot in game six, but you know who was open in the opposite corner?

10:47Mario Chalmers.

10:49You know what?

10:49Mario Chalmers is the Mar Hamlin minus the medical problem.

10:52I will drive to Davey right now.

10:57I will drive to Davey right now.
