00:00
and I want to get your reaction to, I guess for starters,
00:04
the Darnold and Fields deals
00:06
with the Seahawks and Jets respectively.
00:09
Well, it's pretty clear that the coach McDonald in Seattle
00:13
didn't like the roster that he had, right?
00:16
He didn't, you know, he got there.
00:18
He inherited Geno Smith.
00:20
He inherited the DK Metcalf situation.
00:24
And now you look at the end of the line for Tyler Lockett.
00:29
I give credit to Seattle
00:30
for at least having a plan, Scott, right?
00:32
A lot of people wondered, all right,
00:33
what are they going to do next?
00:34
Sort of like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:36
What are they going to do next?
00:37
It looked like Seattle already had that plan in store.
00:40
We're going to trade Geno Smith.
00:41
We're going to sign Sam Darnold.
00:44
Does it make them any better though, Scott?
00:46
Like really, I get that people love to talk about this stuff
00:49
and anytime that a player changes teams,
00:51
but you got to ask yourself,
00:53
are the Raiders better now with Geno Smith
00:55
than they were before?
00:57
Not really, like, you know,
01:00
all you need to know is the Raiders' odds, guys,
01:02
before they signed Geno Smith
01:04
were 100 to one to win the Super Bowl.
01:06
The Raiders' odds now to win the Super Bowl, 100 to one.
01:10
It didn't change, like it didn't even like cause a ripple,
01:12
like nothing, didn't move an inch.
01:15
Seattle, you know, let's see what they do moving forward,
01:18
Scott, I don't think anybody's really done anything
01:20
to make them better.
01:21
Besides, you've got to love bringing in DK Metcalf.
01:25
Yet you bring in DK Metcalf,
01:27
you don't have this, you don't have a quarterback.
01:29
And, you know, Scott, I got to believe
01:31
it's going to be Russell Wilson at this point, right?
01:35
I mean, you bring, would you rather bring in Aaron Rodgers
01:38
in his first year of this system
01:40
and go through all of this type of stuff?
01:42
I think Rodgers would be less dramatic
01:45
and I don't think he would try to call as many shots
01:49
or be in his control as he was with the New York Jets,
01:52
with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Scott,
01:53
but I would go back to Wilson instead of Rodgers personally.
01:57
He was already there for a year.
01:59
Now he actually has somebody to work with.
02:01
Let's be real, Scott,
02:02
you and I talked about this with the Steelers.
02:04
They didn't have skilled position players.
02:06
You got Pickens, who's pretty good, but he's a headcase.
02:09
He's not a guy that you're going to rely on
02:11
to be a number one guy.
02:12
He's still young, he's still learning the league.
02:15
So you bring in Metcalf right now,
02:16
you got to get yourself a running back.
02:18
I like the aggression of the Steelers,
02:20
but the uncertainty of quarterback
02:23
is what baffles me the whole time.
02:24
Well, you know, we'll bring back Fields or Wilson.
02:27
Like, do they have a plan?
02:28
Do they know who they want?
02:30
Right, that's my question with them.
02:32
And like you said,
02:33
it looks like it's going to be either Wilson or Rodgers,
02:35
but it's a lot of just musical chairs, Scott,
02:37
that doesn't really make teams better.
02:39
People like to talk about this stuff,
02:41
but does it make them better?
02:43
That's the big question.
