00:00By the way, because there was a collective scare that went through the region yesterday,

00:06Drake May is getting an MRI prior to leaving for London. Correct, Shime? We believe he is

00:14getting the MRI. Well, so yesterday afternoon, Volan reported that he was getting an MRI after

00:19practice Wednesday. Phil Perry has since said that the Patriots have zero concern about his knee,

00:26didn't confirm or deny an MRI. Nobody else on the planet has confirmed an MRI at all whatsoever.

00:33Maybe not an MRI. Maybe not. And he was listed as a full participant on the injury report.

00:40If it was, maybe it was just precautionary just to make sure everything's good to go.

00:44Is he still covering the team? I mean, I don't know. I thought he was a notch on my belt.

00:50I don't know. I think he is. So listen, could you imagine going with the guy that claimed to

00:58be a ticket salesman with a barstool Twitter account as your source? Sorry, carry on.

01:05Is it, isn't it too early after one NFL game to determine that a guy is going to be among

01:14the greatest ever to play at the position? Nope. I don't know if he's saying the greatest of all

01:21time. I think he meant like when he's playing one of the great quarterbacks like we think of today.

01:27Like, so like Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson. Yeah. Josh Allen,

01:32one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Boomer Esiason kind of gave Drake his flowers on Monday

01:38saying that he's going to be a great player in this league. So I think a lot of people that

01:42are football minded have the same feeling after seeing a small sample from him.

01:47Shocking how everybody agrees with me now after finally seeing him play in a game.

01:52Welcome aboard. Yeah. As long as you could be a top 10 quarterback in the NFL,

01:56I think you're, you're in top 10. Great. Top five, even better. Right. Because then we start to look,

02:03because when we start to think of like the top 10 quarterbacks in the league, we go, oh, you can win

02:08a championship with that guy. You have CJ Stroud in there and number five. Yeah. So if you have,

02:13you have Mahomes, Allen, you mentioned Lamar Jackson. Yep. They're there. Joe Burrows,

02:18CJ Stroud, Brock Purdy. According to former president Trump. Yes. So wait, who is your

02:26fourth? So I have Mahomes by himself. Yeah. Then it's Allen Jackson. And then I have Bernie. Yes.

02:35Burrow. CJ Stroud. I have in there. I mean, I think you could, there's a lot of guys you could

02:40put Justin Herbert and Aaron Rodgers is not in there. I still have Aaron Rodgers in my top 10.

02:47Aaron Rodgers. I would put up there. Jalen hurts. I would put up there.

02:53Stafford. I would still put him in a top 10 quarterback. I would put who else in that

02:59category. Let me, let me kind of look at Williams. No, I know what Caleb Williams. Yeah, not yet.

03:06Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins. I would have Kirk Cousins in my top 10. I'd have Dak in my top 10.

03:14Jared Goff. I, maybe he can break your top 10. Would you put Purdy below or above Brissett?

03:21I put him above Brissett. I love how much you love Dak.
