00:00and I want to get your reaction to, I guess for starters,

00:04the Darnold and Fields deals

00:06with the Seahawks and Jets respectively.

00:09Well, it's pretty clear that the coach McDonald in Seattle

00:13didn't like the roster that he had, right?

00:16He didn't, you know, he got there.

00:18He inherited Geno Smith.

00:20He inherited the DK Metcalf situation.

00:24And now you look at the end of the line for Tyler Lockett.

00:29I give credit to Seattle

00:30for at least having a plan, Scott, right?

00:32A lot of people wondered, all right,

00:33what are they going to do next?

00:34Sort of like the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:36What are they going to do next?

00:37It looked like Seattle already had that plan in store.

00:40We're going to trade Geno Smith.

00:41We're going to sign Sam Darnold.

00:44Does it make them any better though, Scott?

00:46Like really, I get that people love to talk about this stuff

00:49and anytime that a player changes teams,

00:51but you got to ask yourself,

00:53are the Raiders better now with Geno Smith

00:55than they were before?

00:57Not really, like, you know,

01:00all you need to know is the Raiders' odds, guys,

01:02before they signed Geno Smith

01:04were 100 to one to win the Super Bowl.

01:06The Raiders' odds now to win the Super Bowl, 100 to one.

01:10It didn't change, like it didn't even like cause a ripple,

01:12like nothing, didn't move an inch.

01:15Seattle, you know, let's see what they do moving forward,

01:18Scott, I don't think anybody's really done anything

01:20to make them better.

01:21Besides, you've got to love bringing in DK Metcalf.

01:25Yet you bring in DK Metcalf,

01:27you don't have this, you don't have a quarterback.

01:29And, you know, Scott, I got to believe

01:31it's going to be Russell Wilson at this point, right?

01:35I mean, you bring, would you rather bring in Aaron Rodgers

01:38in his first year of this system

01:40and go through all of this type of stuff?

01:42I think Rodgers would be less dramatic

01:45and I don't think he would try to call as many shots

01:49or be in his control as he was with the New York Jets,

01:52with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Scott,

01:53but I would go back to Wilson instead of Rodgers personally.

01:57He was already there for a year.

01:59Now he actually has somebody to work with.

02:01Let's be real, Scott,

02:02you and I talked about this with the Steelers.

02:04They didn't have skilled position players.

02:06You got Pickens, who's pretty good, but he's a headcase.

02:09He's not a guy that you're going to rely on

02:11to be a number one guy.

02:12He's still young, he's still learning the league.

02:15So you bring in Metcalf right now,

02:16you got to get yourself a running back.

02:18I like the aggression of the Steelers,

02:20but the uncertainty of quarterback

02:23is what baffles me the whole time.

02:24Well, you know, we'll bring back Fields or Wilson.

02:27Like, do they have a plan?

02:28Do they know who they want?

02:30Right, that's my question with them.

02:32And like you said,

02:33it looks like it's going to be either Wilson or Rodgers,

02:35but it's a lot of just musical chairs, Scott,

02:37that doesn't really make teams better.

02:39People like to talk about this stuff,

02:41but does it make them better?

02:43That's the big question.
