00:00It is risky to me to completely rule out a good performance from him
00:05because he does have a couple of things working for him.
00:08He has a good offensive line.
00:09So depending on what the Patriots dial up,
00:12and the Patriots defense has been great,
00:14but Stidham might have a little bit of time back there.
00:16He has a better line than the Texans do.
00:18He has a better line than the Chargers do.
00:20He also has Sean Payton, who I don't love overall as a head coach,
00:22but he's a pretty good offensive play caller.
00:24I don't think he's going to ask him to do wild stuff.
00:27And they also, in their offense, throw the ball short a lot.
00:30And he starts completing a few passes.
00:32All of a sudden, he's got a little bit of confidence in him.
00:35Listen, I think the Patriots have an overwhelming advantage in quarterback.
00:38I'm not trying to talk Stidham up to like,
00:40I am a little surprised by everybody just taking a big dump on him
00:45and being like, the guy's a bomb he hasn't played,
00:47and he's going to be actually worse than Stroud.
00:49So, again, you're not saying he can't be worse, right?
00:54You're just saying you wouldn't wager him.
00:56No, I mean, that's why they play the game.
00:57I don't know how he's going to do.
00:58I think it's possible.
00:59He could score less points.
01:00I get that point.
01:01I don't rule out the guy that hasn't played in two years
01:03might be worse than C.J. Stroud.
01:04I don't rule that out.
01:05Now, I wouldn't bet on him throwing four picks,
01:08but he might score less than 16 points,
01:09and that's kind of the name of the game.
01:11But I would also go with this.
01:12Now, this goes against my personal thoughts with Bo Nix.
01:15I think, individually, he is good.
01:16But I've heard, for three years, how bad Bo Nix is.
01:20I think this is a fair point by you.
01:20And so, we had a texter.
01:22You have every right to be like,
01:24this is a big drop there without Bo Nix.
01:26Most fans already think Bo Nix stinks.
01:28So, be consistent on that end, I would say.
01:30I remember during the draft show,
01:32we had somebody text in and saying,
01:33Keith, you liking Bo Nix is your worst take you've ever had.
01:37And honestly, that's a laughable take.
01:39You've also had worse takes than that.
01:40I've definitely had worse takes.
01:42I thought Jalen Brown was going to be a horrible pick.
01:44That's the leader of the clubhouse, probably.
01:46I don't like Jokic.
01:47I think that stands on top of my mountain of bad takes.
01:51No, but I would just say, like,
01:52so, for everybody out there that tells me Bo Nix sucks,
01:57he won 14 games, was the number one seed,
02:00and beat the Bills.
02:01So, if he sucks,
02:03and they replace him with another guy who sucks,
02:05Yeah, their team must be pretty good.
02:06Can't they win?
