00:00Because the problem this summer is as simple as how bad Jacoby Brissett has looked.

00:06And look no further than that interception forcing it to Austin Hooper,

00:10that Gerard Mayo visually looked pissed on the sideline,

00:14and then audibly sounded pissed when he did his Zoom with the media the next day.

00:18Right? Like, he has ma-

00:21Jacoby Brissett is making this hard on everyone with how badly he is playing.

00:26Because he's supposed to be here to not make dumb mistakes,

00:29to hit the plays that are there.

00:30Oh, there's a guy down there, he's 12 yards away, he's wide open.

00:34You throw the ball to him, then we won't go anywhere after that,

00:37but we'll kick a field goal. Right?

00:39And we're not doing that. You're not doing that.

00:41You're turning the ball over.

00:42People tend to forget the second, the series right after he threw the pick, he tried again.

00:47He was like, had a guy on his ankle,

00:48and he just chucked it up over the middle like a rookie quarterback.

00:51And it didn't get picked, but it easily could have.

00:53So it's great to say we're going to sit a guy behind a veteran,

00:57because the veteran's ready, pro-ready was Gerard Mayo's term.

01:00Pro-ready.

01:00I would hope so. He's been in the league 10 years.

01:02Well, he can put his hands under center and take a snap every time.

01:06And that's pro-ready. Perfect.

01:08But when it's as bad as it is, that creates pressure, that creates problems.

01:12And then when you add in Drake May with a little uptick and an ooh throw,

01:16and ooh, he's making more throws and he's looking better rather than worse,

01:19that adds to it.

01:20But the biggest problem Gerard Mayo has right now with the plan,

01:24whatever the plan is, is Jacoby Brissette and how poorly he is playing.

01:27Well, in the moment right now, that definitely is a factor.

01:34I think the bigger factor that worries me a little more is through collaboration,

01:43we've come up with the plan for this guy.

01:47And to me, it satiates, in many ways, two people, Robert and Jonathan Kraft.

01:53Because now Elliott Wolfe can say, well, we didn't do like the other guy did.

01:58We didn't just throw the rookie in there.

02:00And we had someone here who could hold his hand a little bit,

02:04even though it has not created any competition.

02:07I've said it since the jump that both quarterbacks seem really comfortable with,

02:12yeah, I'll be in for a little bit and, well, the kid will take over.

02:15And the kid didn't come in and say, damn it, I'm grabbing this thing from the jump.

02:19Everybody has just kind of got along to get along.

02:22This is the process.

02:23This is the plan.

02:24This is how we're going to sort of execute it.

02:28But really, who is it for?
