00:00What is Peterson saying about his disastrous football team?

00:08Yeah, awful start for the Jaguars.

00:10You know, they ended last year losing their last five games,

00:13missing out on the playoffs.

00:15This was after a year they were supposed to be one of the favorites, right?

00:18Remember two years ago, they went, won a playoff game,

00:21lost a close game to Kansas City in the divisional round.

00:24Now, they look like this guy's about to get chopped.

00:27Here's Peterson. Things need to change fast in Jacksonville.

00:30It's not for lack of effort or trying and all that.

00:33I just think that sometimes you just have to get out of your own way, right?

00:38And just keep digging ourselves in a hole early

00:43and can't seem to dig our way out of it, you know,

00:48especially, you know, as one-sided as this game was today.

00:52Do you think he's in trouble in Jacksonville

00:56or is he going to get away with this?

00:59Well, the thing is, is that that owner,

01:04you know, he wants to win badly.

01:08He's got a very itchy finger,

01:11but he also knows he can't keep changing coaches.

01:14Remember, it was such a disaster he had with Urban Meyer

01:18that having Peterson, who's won a Super Bowl in his building,

01:22is probably not someone that he wants to chase out fairly quickly.

01:26Now, I understand last year ended poorly and this year has started poorly.

01:31If it continues, sure.

01:34Because he spent a lot of money, right, Sky?

01:36Like, this is not like...

01:38They added some high-priced free agent talent on both sides of the ball.

01:41They've done that the last few years.

01:43They gave their quarterback a lot of money that he probably hadn't earned yet.

01:47And he stinks.

01:48And he stinks, too. I'm sorry.

01:51And we were all duped, right?

01:53We thought this was no doubt about it.

01:55When he left Clemson, he was going to be the next big star in the NFL.

01:59Can't miss Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, that type of can't-miss player.

02:04It's just not the case.

02:05He's 0-8 in his last eight starts.

02:081-7 against the spread, too, so you can't even bet on the guy.

02:11But he's lost eight starts in a row.

02:13We talked about in the offseason when they gave him all that money

02:16that they probably, like...

02:18I don't know why they were in such a rush to pay him so fast.

02:21But I just haven't seen it yet, Sky.

02:23I haven't seen the greatness in this guy.

02:25Where is it?

02:26Yeah, I mean, his numbers stink.

02:29He's 21-38, 178 yards, a horrible average 4.7.

02:35He gets picked off. He gets sacked.

02:38His passes are bad. It's unbelievable.

02:41He's turned into a lousy quarterback.

02:43That's just all there is to it.

02:45The pick he threw to Hamlin last night,

02:48and that was DeMar Hamlin's first-ever career interception.

02:50That happened in that game, too.

02:52There was nobody near him, Scotty.

02:54I mean, Lawrence, it's not like he was being pressured

02:57and he was in a rush to throw the ball away.

03:00He was standing in a clean pocket

03:02and just sailed the ball over the receiver's head to Hamlin.

03:05Like, it was an awful throw,

03:07and they got a lot of work to do down there, that's for sure,

03:10especially with him.

03:11Imagine.

03:12Imagine the money they spent on him.

03:14They gave him all this money, and he's not worth it.

03:17He plays like a backup.

03:19He's not like a star player.

03:21It was kind of a flash in the pan.

03:23He was good for a brief minute or two,

03:26and then he's been terrible ever since.

03:28I mean, he is awful right now.

03:31He can't win. He can't get out of his own way.

03:33Like Peterson said, I think a lot of it starts with him.

03:37I mean, he's so undependable now as their quarterback,

03:42you have to start wondering what they're going to do.

03:44Are they going to keep rolling him out there to lose?
