00:00As we get ready for a battle of the two worst quarterbacks maybe to ever face off against each other in Super Bowl history.
00:06And I've done a lot of research on that.
00:07You have to go back at least 40 years before you can have a conversation of
00:10has it been a worse matchup of starting quarterbacks in a Super Bowl than we have this year.
00:15Now, let me just say this real quick about that.
00:17I want to be clear because people in New England and people in Seattle, I think, have this twisted a little bit.
00:24While I do believe this might be a matchup of the two most average quarterbacks in the history of the NFL,
00:32I also think this could be a great game.
00:35I think this could be a Super Bowl classic the way both defenses have played.
00:40The only rub on that, and let's be fair about it, is that there's a much likely greater propensity in this game
00:48for Seattle to drop a 40-burger on New England as opposed to the other way.
00:53So I think, and as I've started to handicap this game, with the expertise of 40 years of handicapping, of course,
01:01I believe that there's only two outcomes in this game.
01:04A close game, a nail-biter, or Seattle blows out New England.
01:09I don't think there's a third option, Tyrone. I don't. Sorry.
01:12Yeah, I completely agree with that. I completely agree with that.
01:15If you ask me which team can really go out there and score, we've seen it.
01:18Seattle really can go out there and score, and we just saw Darnold play arguably the best game of his career
01:23and definitely his best game in the biggest moment, versus Drake May played just a very—
01:28he's had a poor playoffs period after, to be fair, a very good regular season.
01:33He's been very poor in the postseason.
01:35So obviously, Seattle's more likely to score 40 than the Patriots.
01:39Yeah, and it's interesting that, you know, obviously, if you're a New England fan,
01:41you don't want to hear any of the Sam—excuse me, Drake May hatred,
01:45or you're pointing out the obvious that, you know, he's been along for the ride.
01:48Drake May is not the cause or reason why the Patriots are in the Super Bowl.
01:53Their defense absolutely is. Their defense has been lights out.
01:56I give their defense, obviously, a ton of credit.
02:00But if you're a Patriot fan, I get it. I get it.
02:02I don't want to hear someone who's not a Patriot fan on the most watched one-hour sports podcast in America
02:08start talking bad about my quarterback because my quarterback, you know, is on the team,
02:12and, you know, he is the AFC championship-winning quarterback.
02:15He is going to be the runner-up for the MVP award behind Matthew Stafford.
02:19But I think if you take fandom out of it for a second,
02:22if you take out the fact that I hate the Patriots because I'm a Jet fan,
02:26if you take Patriot fandom out of it and you're able to look at this kid objectively,
02:32yes, great story, second-youngest kid behind Dan Marino to get to a Super Bowl,
02:37second year in the league, it is a great story, not a good story.
02:42But you also have to be honest with yourself.
02:45Drake May really has played horrendous football in all three playoff games.
02:52Now, a lot of people want to start talking about how,
02:55oh, you can't blame Drake May because of the snow.
02:59The snow didn't come into Denver until about two or three minutes left in the third quarter.
03:04What happened to Drake May in the first half of the game?
03:08Are you going to tell me that the Patriots trusted him to throw the ball all over the yard?
03:13Because he didn't.
03:15Are you going to tell me that when the Patriots were trying to figure out,
03:18after tying the game at 7-7, what do we need to do in the second half to win the game?
03:23They did not say, let's trust our quarterback.
03:25They said, let's trust our running game.
03:28And for good reason.
03:28They ran the ball successfully against the Denver Broncos.
03:32But Drake May has been awful the last couple weeks.
03:35And I don't know how anybody sees it any differently.
03:37Thanks, buddy.
