00:00Here is New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex

00:05Van Pelt about about Drake. It definitely I think he made a big

00:09jump last week from the game in through practice. He's had

00:11really good couple days of practice. You know the the

00:14footwork and the timing you start to see it pay off and

00:17some of those throws, especially the third down

00:19conversion to Baker. You know we we rep that in practice and

00:22it showed up in the game and it's it's what it's supposed to

00:25look like so he's making strides making strides. I say

00:30this and I don't think this is any sort of hot take

00:33whatsoever, but any any team that has a quarterback

00:36controversy any team that has a quarterback battle any team

00:39that hasn't figured out who they're starting quarterback is

00:41yet y'all not making the playoffs. Every single one of

00:45them.

00:48Name him name the team that has a quarterback controversy

00:51right now that you think is going to make the playoffs. I

00:53think Pittsburgh can make the I think Pittsburgh can make the

00:55playoffs. They make the playoffs last week. Can you pick it and

00:58he was awful? No, they run the ball. They play defense. Yeah,

01:02but they're but they they got a running back. They're not good

01:05at it and they got better running backs already hurt.

01:07Baltimore is not very good. Anyways, they're not making the

01:10playoffs. So they had all that last year with the worst

01:13quarterback situation. I mean, can we was there a quarterback

01:16you say it's the worst. Yeah. It's the worst quarterback

01:19situation. So okay. That's great. I'm glad y'all feel

01:21that way. Do either of you two think Kenny Pickett is better

01:25than two guys? They got no not not really but the quarterback

01:29situation though was different because now we have a situation

01:32now is worse, right? It's because now they have a they

01:34have a veteran guy who's making very little money from their

01:37team who hasn't been very good and they're probably they

01:40they've already anointed him the starter and the backup guy

01:43who's younger and has more upside probably should be

01:46playing but it's as if they promise this to Russell Wilson

01:49to even get him to show up. To me, there is a lot of

01:52dysfunction in the Steelers quarterback situation and they

01:54lost their second best receiver. So with New England, their

01:59situation is they have a Band-Aid guy. Jacoby Berset is

02:03nobody's starter meaning, you know, listen, Jacoby Berset and

02:07Gardner Minshew. That's why these guys weren't given 45 or

02:1050 million dollar contracts because they're not starting

02:13quarterback guys. They're guys that can start for a little

02:16while and hold on for a little while until your rookie is

02:21ready to go and in the case of Gardner Minshew, I don't think

02:23he has to worry about Aiden O'Connell the way that Jacoby

02:25Berset would have to worry about Drake May but

02:27organizationally, I don't think the Raiders look at Aiden

02:30O'Connell the way the Patriots look at at Drake May.
