00:00Going through the quarterbacks that are in the playoffs,

00:03which there are 14 of, right?

00:06And by my count, 12 of the 14 are game managers, including Drake May?

00:13Yes.

00:14He puts Drake May right there with Herbert, with Josh Allen.

00:18How is Matthew Stafford a game changer more so than Josh Allen?

00:23I don't know because it's just dead wrong.

00:26He's so damn effective.

00:27He's the ultimate game manager.

00:29But here's where I defend Cam is every quarterback's a game manager.

00:32If you don't manage a damn game, if you're not looking at the clock,

00:35if you're not looking at personnel, if you're not working the huddle,

00:38if you're not working the ref, if you're not talking back to the coach

00:41and getting the communication in and out of that huddle,

00:44counting guys, looking at the clock, getting the snap count,

00:47reading the defense, you're doing nothing but managing the game.

00:51See, I think he really looks at the ones where you've got a good coach

00:54and a system that really works, like Shanahan.

00:57Look what he did with Mac Jones.

00:59And we talked about it.

01:00If Stafford goes down, they're going to be okay with Garoppolo

01:03because you've got a good coach, good scheme, good players around him.

01:06You sort of just plug and play guys.

01:08I don't think Stafford's a game changer.

01:11He's been the same guy his whole career.

01:14He's in a great situation now is what he's in.

01:16Why is Caleb Williams a manager?

01:20What is that?

01:22I'm correct, right?

01:23You said Caleb Williams is a manager.

01:25Josh Allen and Stafford were the only game changers.

01:28Oh, he did say Allen.

01:29Yes, he did say Allen was a game changer.

01:30My bad.

01:31My bad.

01:32But I think every quarterback's a game.

01:34I understand why he's saying that.

01:35I get what he's saying.

01:36I get what he's saying.

01:36But you know what he means by game manager.

01:38He's saying that the quarterback just plays within a system

01:40and makes good decisions, and that's all he is.

01:43That doesn't elevate his team.

01:46That's what that knock is, right?

01:48Historically.

01:48Here's the problem, though.

01:50It's like when Herbert and Allen and Drake or Lamar,

01:54when they break the pocket and extend plays,

01:55like Lamar at the end of that game last week,

01:58they had an all-out blitz, getting ready to kill him.

02:01He slides through it, steps out, puts the touch on the ball,

02:03hits the long one down to flowers.

02:07Those aren't game managers.

02:09You know what I mean?

02:10That's advancing.

02:11Yeah, you could manage most of the game,

02:13but there's going to be like five or six moments

02:15where you've got to go make a freaking play.

02:17Drake at the end of the first half, run it, get out of bounds,

02:19no timeouts.

02:21Like, that's managing a game, but it's also making a hell of a play.

02:24That's getting your team points.

02:26Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen, the only game changers in the playoffs.

02:31No, no, no.

02:32I'm not buying that.

02:35I'm not buying that.

02:37Was Cam Newton a game changer, by the way?

02:39Yes, at his peak, absolutely.

02:40At his peak, he absolutely was.

02:41He was unstoppable at Auburn.

02:43Bert Breer said it, too.

02:45Don't look at the roster at Auburn when they went undefeated.

02:47There were a lot of guys in the pros.

02:49It was all him.

02:50And that 15-1 year, they had a hell of a year.

02:53I was down there that Monday night,

02:54Nikovic chasing him around like a chicken with his head cut off.

02:56Running all over you, people.

02:57Oh, my God.

02:58Oh, my God.
