00:00Let me ask this question.
00:00I asked it on the email.
00:01I'd love for you to answer the way you did on the email.
00:04And I asked this before.
00:05I think it's a good question.
00:07Would you rather face – let me rephrase.
00:10What's more dangerous, a decent quarterback behind a bad offensive line
00:17or a backup who hasn't played in two years behind a great offensive line?
00:23Okay, so put it that way, which is a little bit different,
00:26and I'll get to you in a second because I know you're going to yell at me
00:28because you're going to think I'm changing my answer.
00:31That's okay.
00:31I'm going to go with the backup behind a really good offensive line
00:35than a decent guy.
00:37I think that when you put it in the email today,
00:40I think you said Justin Herbert.
00:42Right.
00:42So, like, I mean, for example, Joe Average behind a good Denver offensive line
00:47or Justin Herbert, who's a good quarterback, behind a horrible offensive line.
00:50Yeah, I would take Justin Herbert behind a horrible offensive line
00:53and hope he doesn't play as badly as he played in the game.
00:56I mean, obviously, the recent sample sizes, you would take your chances
01:00not knowing what's going to happen with a backup behind a good offensive line.
01:04But I just feel Justin Herbert would have more opportunities,
01:07and I think he had opportunities that night.
01:08He didn't play well.
01:10I mean, the largest reason he didn't play well was because he was behind
01:13that bad offensive line, but he still had opportunities and didn't make them.
01:18I think you can protect Jared Stidham, and there's a chance he can't make the plays.
01:22Because how do you feel about Jared Stidham?
01:24I just – the guy's been in the league for seven years,
01:27and no one's seen fit to allow him to play.
01:29So, I'm just going to trust that the NFL talent guys know more about this than I do.
01:34Can you not talk in hyperbole because you're a high-ranking member of the organization?
01:40What's hyperbole?
01:40What did I say?
01:41Well, the email you said, Jared Stidham blows.
01:43Oh, I can't say that.
01:45See, that's what I'm saying.
01:46I'm not –
01:47I might be listening.
01:48I don't want to talk like that on the air.
01:50So, can I give a counter to your argument?
01:53Yeah.
01:54How many years did it take Geno Smith to get to play?
01:57He got to play right away with the Jets and failed.
01:59Okay.
02:00And then he had how much time off?
02:02Oh, he had a couple years off, but he got a chance to play.
02:05Teams gave him an opportunity to start.
02:07I see your point.
02:07This guy's been in the league for seven years, and no one wants him to play.
02:10Okay, but don't you think sometimes – was Geno Smith the same guy when he came back the second time?
02:14No, he was better.
02:16He was better when he went to Seattle, but I don't think it's the same thing.
02:19It's just like everybody's trying to – there's like a weird kind of scenario going on where fans are trying to talk themselves into the fact that this game could be tough.
02:30And that it's not, you know – the road is paved for you.
02:36I mean, the Patriots are a better team than Denver, in my view, with Bo Nix.
02:41A lot of Patriots fans were telling me all year that that was the case.
02:45Now Bo Nix is out of the lineup, and this game's going to be tough because it's in Denver?
02:49I –
