00:00when you think about it as a as a passer, right? So this guy

00:02can drop back in the pocket. He can read defenses. He can

00:05deliver the football but then you tag the RPO game to it so

00:08it almost makes the defense can't be right. So, if you

00:11come up, he can pull the ball and throw the throw the deep

00:13glance routes behind you. He can throw the slants behind

00:16you. If you come up, if you come up field too much, he can

00:19go underneath and and the best thing that he has happening

00:23right now is Brian Robertson and and Ackler. They're

00:26actually running the football. They're not just dropping back

00:29forty, fifty times a game and just saying, hey, you know,

00:32we're just gonna put the ball in the air. They have a well

00:34balanced attack and involved in that is his rushing. Like, I

00:39remember the first game, everyone's in the upper bow. He

00:40ran the ball sixteen times against Tampa. I said, I don't

00:43know, sixteen runs. It wasn't designed runs. You know, a lot

00:46of it was he was scrambling up in the pocket. He saw

00:48something. He went and got positive yards and that's what

00:51he's very smart at. He has a 77% completion percentage right

00:54now and you know, which is awesome in the NFL after

00:58breaking a record at 82% of the first four games but right now,

01:01he's the only thousand-yard passing 250-yard rusher within

01:05the first four weeks of the season, four or five weeks of

01:07the season. Think about the guys that come through Vic,

01:10Lamar, all these guys is they're a dynamic quarterback.

01:13So, it tells me, I remember someone said something a couple

01:15weeks ago to kind of disturb me. He said, well, he's running a

01:18college offense. It doesn't matter what kind of offense

01:21you're running. If it fits your quarterback, that would disturb

01:23me back in the day was they try to make you fit the system of

01:27what, you know, coordinators wanted to do instead of doing

01:29the system around what the quarterback does best. That's

01:31why Lamar is able to win multiple MVPs. That's why

01:34Jayden is in conversation right now is because they built the

01:37offense as to what these guys do well. Don't put a Ferrari in

01:41the garage and never use it. Hey, you know, like that's what

01:46Clint Kingsbury is doing. He's using it. He said, hey, yeah,

01:48I'm gonna make you have to defend every area of the

01:51football field and for Dan Quinn and Bobby Wagner, they've seen

01:54this before. Russell Wilson, he was a rookie at Seattle. So,

01:58you put that with a great defense and a young rookie

02:00quarterback that doesn't turn the ball over consistently. It

02:05gives you an opportunity to win. You know what kills me? I hear

02:08this college quarterback crap. That's such a good one. And I

02:11wanna use some foul language but I can't do it. How the hell

02:16do they think Tom Brady ran? Tom Brady ran the spread

02:19offense. That's a college offense, right? Right. Okay.

02:22What does my man up there in Buffalo runs? Same thing that

02:26Jayden is running. All these other quarterbacks run the same

02:29thing but when Jayden does it and other people, not always a

02:33college offense, get off of it. You know, it's like, you can't

02:36just give credit to the quarterback. You know, it's

02:39been a fight for the longest. He, right now, they're doing a

02:41thing to evolution of the quarterback. Him, Mike, Vic,

02:44Doug, all these guys. Why every time someone becomes

02:48successful, they wanna find a way to knock it. That's what

02:51Tom did. Right. That's what Aaron Rodgers does all the

02:53time. The thing is, yeah, the thing is, we live in a

02:58society where people have to build somebody up. They gotta

03:01tear somebody down and instead of just being excited about the

03:05person having the opportunity because everyone, when you come

03:08through different franchises in different eras at different

03:11times and you know, fortunate enough when Jayden's coming

03:14through here, it's not a new ownership. It's under new

03:16opportunities. You gotta experience head coach. You have

03:19you know, guys that are just, you know, willing to buy into

03:22what they're trying to do and and that stuff takes time but

03:25everyone's gotta be willing to buy in but you don't have to

03:29build Jayden up to tear down everybody else or you don't

03:31have to tear down Jayden to build up, you know, you know,

03:34other players like Mahomes runs a different offense. You know,

03:37when Andre said this, Andre said, when he was with me now

03:39but he was with some of the other guys, he tailored his

03:42offense to what those guys did well and he got with Mahomes.

03:45He said, Mahomes had a bigger arm. So, he said, I'm gonna

03:48tailor the ball to going down the field a little bit more

03:50instead of just staying true to the true west coast which is

03:52the slants that they curl routes and all the digs and

03:55those things. He thought pushing the ball further down

03:57the field. So, great coaches adapt to their great athletes.
