00:00I don't know what I'd do.
00:01I'm just being honest with you.
00:02I really don't.
00:03You don't really have any good options.
00:06The Daniel Jones thing, I'm not in favor of that.
00:11I mean, I guess if you want to see what's going on with Kirk Cousins, you can.
00:19After watching what we watched last night, I'm still mind-blown that that happened,
00:24that they were that bad offensively.
00:26But I don't know what you're offering up to get whoever you're trying to get.
00:31I don't know what quarterback around the league you're trying to acquire
00:37that will put you in a really good situation,
00:40even though what we saw last night, that's the worst that I've seen.
00:44Yeah, I 100% agree with you.
00:47So even if we got some, let's say there was some wonderful quarterback out there,
00:52like a Justin Herbert, let's say.
00:53He comes in.
00:54It's not like he can, okay, suddenly save everything.
00:57You know, there's a buildup.
00:59You've got to learn this offense.
01:02You've got to do a lot of things.
01:04I mean, is it worth doing anything on this trade deadline?
01:08Well, Justin Herbert is, to me, he's in a different category aside from Daniel Jones.
01:16I mean, I think he's a good quarterback from what we've seen in the history
01:21of him playing in the National Football League, but what's going on with him?
01:25Like, he's on a winless team right now.
01:27He gets paid a lot of money.
01:30What do you have to give up to get an Herbert?
01:33Because you're not giving up some middle-round pick to get a guy like that.
01:37Like, you've got to give up a significant pick.
01:39And he's hurt.
01:40Like, he, over the weekend, he incurred an injury on one of his fingers.
01:46He hurt one of his fingers.
01:47So what does that look like?
01:48There's no easy answer to any of this stuff.
01:51But the Minnesota Vikings were trending last night on social media because of how bad the
01:57quarterback play was last night.
01:58That was the reality.
02:00The offense was terrible.
02:02Terrible.
02:03I'm not sure if I've seen the offense be as bad as they've been.
02:06And they were trending because of that.
02:08The defense was amazing again.
02:11And I know that eventually they gave up a couple touchdowns.
02:14You're going to give up touchdowns when you're on the field all day.
02:16That's just the reality of it.
02:17They were playing lights out in that first half, and then they just got tired.
