00:00If this is the beginning of the end for Jalen Hurts,

00:03and yes, that's just in and of itself, it's funny.

00:07He was the Super Bowl MVP 12 months ago.

00:11Nine months ago.

00:13Nine, ten months ago.

00:13Yep, my bad.

00:14Ten months ago, he's the Super Bowl MVP.

00:17Now this is the beginning of the end.

00:19We'll see.

00:19He references Carson.

00:21He's talking about Carson Wentz.

00:22Can we bounce around to a few quarterbacks?

00:24And you tell me, and I'll tell you, and you all can tell us,

00:30888-957-9570, who has maybe their best days in front of them

00:36and who has their best days behind them.

00:39And obviously the number one we want to get is Brock Purdy.

00:43Do you think Brock Purdy has his best days in front of him

00:46or his best days behind him?

00:48In front of him, hashtag he'd better,

00:52because his 53 purr hasn't even kicked in yet,

00:57and the Jalen Hurts part of it,

00:59and maybe we'll throw that out there as the launching point for all of this,

01:03but just looking at his contract,

01:04if you want to go ahead and be done with him, WIP radio host.

01:09Oh, you're screwed.

01:10Well, if you want to do a post-June 1st release,

01:14the dead cap is $72 million next year and $45 million the year after.

01:19So your cap hits, your cap gobble is a Joey Chestnutty-in day at the office with hot dogs.

01:27Okay, so that's obviously really, really bad.

01:31But back to my point that I've constantly made that you like to make fun of,

01:35which is cap schmap.

01:37Right.

01:37One team recently did this.

01:41They recently went,

01:42you know what,

01:43we hate our quarterback so much

01:45that we are just going to eat a big pile of cement

01:48and we're going to deal with it.

01:50We'll deal with the consequences.

01:53We're going to be paying bajillions of dollars for absolutely nothing.

01:56It's going to mess up our cap,

01:58but he can't be our quarterback,

02:00so we've got to do something else.

02:02That team is called the AFC 1 seed.

02:05That team is the Denver Broncos.

02:08They are 11-2.

02:10They found a quarterback on a rookie deal

02:13who they are at least doing some good things with.

02:17I know Bo Nix has been a little polarizing,

02:20but I still live in the world of,

02:24you can do anything you want.

02:25You can do it.

02:27It just puts you know what into it.

02:29Yeah.

02:31It's not,

02:31I'm not saying it's ideal,

02:33but you can do it.

02:34And I don't know if the Eagles will do it.

02:37That is a very fickle town, obviously.

02:40But yeah, I'll agree with you there.

02:42Best days are ahead of Brock Purdy.

02:45I don't know if team result.

02:47Best day,

02:48I don't know if he's ever going to go to a Super Bowl again.

02:50I hope so.

02:51I hope so.

02:53Right now,

02:53I'm more focused on just better health days

02:55ahead for Brock Purdy.

02:57More consistency in terms of availability.

03:01But I don't know.

03:03Look at this.

03:03How about if I said Mahomes?

03:06Best days in front of him or best days behind him?

03:07I'd say behind him, honestly.

03:09I agree with you.

03:10I mean, his best days.

03:11Does that mean that he can't still be a top seven quarterback?

03:15Of course not.

03:16But his best days were days where he was the best quarterback in football

03:20and he won three Super Bowls.

03:21So, if you want to look at his best days,

03:25I don't think that anybody's best days,

03:28outside of maybe Montana and Brady,

03:31has anybody's best days ever been better than his best days?

03:34I mean, Bradshaw, whatever.

03:35We can play the Troy Aikman game of people who've won bowls,

03:39but the greater point is,

03:41his best days are among the best days in the history of best days.

03:45So, how could you not think that Mahomes' best days were behind him?

03:48Is he going to win four Super Bowls from now to the end of his time?

03:52I don't think so.

03:53He's had his 30th birthday.

03:54Yep.

03:55I mean, not that that's like the end of days by any stretch.

03:58Certainly not the quarterback position.

04:00Hell, the Colts might start someone who's 45, 44, 45 years old.

04:04But I agree with you.

04:06Like, Patrick Mahomes has probably had his best days.

04:10And I wonder if anybody will ever transfer that thought that you just heard WIP

04:17share about Jalen Hurts.

04:19I wonder if anyone will ever do that.

04:21Like, Travis Kelsey's going to retire.

04:24He's going to retire.

04:25Eventually.

04:25Maybe this year.

04:26Are we going to hear, well, I tell you what,

04:29if you don't give Mahomes a great defense and a great tight end

04:33and great receivers and a great running back, I don't know, man.

04:38It just doesn't seem to work anymore.

04:40They're 6-7.

04:42Right.

04:42They have a losing record at Week 14.

04:44They have a 10% chance, based on the metrics I was looking at,

04:4810% chance to make the playoffs.

04:50And you know what they can't claim?

04:52I know that they lost a few O-linemen this week.

04:55They cannot claim that they've been crushed by injury.

04:59Can't do it.

05:00Not relative to other teams.

05:01Nope.

05:02Not.

05:02Even the Chargers have lost multiple tackles.

05:04Not the way, I mean, everybody loses people to injury,

05:06but not the way that basically teams who have really had one of those

05:12outlier seasons, like the 49ers last year,

05:15or even like what you're seeing, I don't know how you can say it,

05:18they're 9-4, but even like what you've seen this year,

05:21they can't do that.

05:24He's just 6-7.

05:26Right.

05:26He's just got to wear it.

05:27Well, it's because of what we talked about,

05:30and this is why I was so adamant in our preseason conversation,

05:34and you and I talked about the regression.

05:36They were 12-0 last year in one-score games.

05:4012-0 in the regular season and the postseason combined.

05:44This year they're 1-6 in one-score games.

05:46Now, that's a dramatic market correction.

05:5012-0 was, I think, the best one-score season ever,

05:54and 1-6 is really, really bad, probably not the worst ever,

05:58but the truth lies somewhere in the middle,

06:01and so the regression from 12-0 to 1-6 is dramatic,

06:04but that, for me, is a big reason why I was going to fade, fade, fade

06:09the Chiefs this year.

06:10I think Lamar Jackson has his best days behind him.

06:13Fade, fade, fade.

06:14Thank you, yeah.

06:15I mean, this year is a real kind of bucket of cold water on the Ravens.

06:20I think Lamar's hurt.

06:22I think he's going to be better someday.

06:24And I'm a huge Lamar Jackson fan.

06:26But with his style of play and what it looks like when he does not have elite speed,

06:32I think that you'd be pretty fearful right now of where the second half

06:36of Lamar Jackson's career is going to go.

06:39Yeah, what about Baker Mayfield?

06:40Would you say that his best days are still, there'll be brighter days ahead?

06:46Because he's been awesome.

06:48Baker's probably 29?

06:5130.

06:52Just turned 30.

06:53Oh, okay.

06:53Yeah.

06:54Well, I'm looking it up.

06:55No, I know.

06:55He's 30.

06:56That's a pretty good guess.

06:57I mean, yeah.

06:58I didn't think he was 28.

06:59I didn't think he was quite yet 30, but...

07:01Baker Mayfield.

07:02I think Baker's...

07:04Hmm.

07:05I think his best days are in front of him.

07:06Yeah.

07:06It's a tough one because he's right at that spot.

07:08He's played a lot of football, and he's been playing well now for a few years.

07:12And, you know, what would be the next level, the next gear for Baker?

07:16It would be sustained playoff success.

07:18Playoff success.

07:19Yeah.

07:19I don't even know about sustained.

07:20How about just a run?

07:21Yeah.

07:21Like, let's just take a run.

07:23Like, stop winning a division with nine wins, and let's take a run.

07:27The other one that I was thinking about as a bubble person would be Jared Goff.

07:32Yeah.

07:32I don't think he's 30.

07:34I think he's 29.

07:35I might have gotten that one wrong.

07:36See, no, I think he's on the other side of 30 would be my guess.

07:40Jared Goff is 31.

07:42Oh, wow, yeah.

07:43Yeah, he's 31.

07:44Just turned.

07:45I think Jared Goff's best days are behind him.

07:48Yeah, wow.

07:49I don't have, like, a ton of evidence on that.

07:51He's still got good years left, but Jared Goff, to me, feels like a guy who, just based

07:59on math and probability, probably missed his best chances.

08:05Went to the Super Bowl already once with the Rams, lost, and then, I don't know, there

08:12was this game where he had a 17-point halftime lead in the NFC title game, and they lost it.

08:20And again, it's they had a 17-point, you know.

08:23But, like, that...

08:25And he made multiple throws that were to his own team that were dropped.

08:28Oh, I don't put the loss on Jared at all.

08:31But the bottom line is the bottom line.

08:33I mean, like, y'all had it.

08:36Y'all had it.

08:37And I don't know if they would have beaten the Chiefs or whatever, but they had it.

08:40Yeah.

08:41What about Sam Darnold at 28?

08:43Another one of these...

08:45Sam is such a tweener.

08:46We can look at, like, Bo Nix and Drake May and Jordan Love.

08:49Okay, your best days are in front of you.

08:51I get that.

08:52But, to me, it becomes interesting when you look at guys like Tua and Darnold, and, I

08:59mean, even Calamari.

09:01Tua, definitely behind him.

09:03Kyle Amari, behind him.

09:06Sam is such a tough one.

09:07Sam's going to need to do something to where some team is going to be like, let's stop dating.

09:12Everybody's dating Sam Darnold.

09:15When are you going to be like...

09:16Sounds like a movie.

09:16Dating Sam Darnold.

09:17Dating Sam Darnold, at least a reality show, even now, what's the contract?

09:21What do you get in Seattle?

09:23Three years?

09:24Yeah, three and a hundred, I think.

09:25Okay, that's nice.

09:26You can date me for three and a hundred.

09:28Oh, yeah, that's the Baker contract, but it ain't 50.

09:31Nope.

09:31It ain't 60.

09:33And in five years, it's three.
