00:00The more you live, the more you realize that, yes,
00:03a hundred of us can stare at the sun and half of us will see the moon.
00:09It's wild.
00:11And I don't know that they're wrong.
00:13You know what I mean?
00:14That whole blue dress, white dress thing that went around about seven years ago.
00:18All right, so Lucas puts this out there.
00:21We ask the question, why is Jared Goff good enough for every Lions fan
00:25but Brock Purdy seemingly is not, or at least some 49er fans?
00:29Look at him with all kinds of skepticism.
00:32Ooh, that's a good question.
00:35That's a good question.
00:36Ooh, that's a good question.
00:38That's a good question.
00:39Thank you to both of you, you and Grant.
00:41The key is the...
00:42Yeah, your impression gets better each time.
00:45But look at some of these answers and tell me if they resonate with you or not.
00:52And I'm going to read directly.
00:53Thank you to those of you who have responded to this tweet.
00:55City Slicker123 says, because Goff is 6'4", with a cannon for an arm,
01:02Purdy just doesn't have the physical capabilities that some of the other guys do.
01:06That's not to say he's a bad QB, though.
01:07It just makes everything harder.
01:10Does Jared Goff have a cannon for an arm?
01:14I don't know.
01:15This is one of those ones where...
01:18I mean, they've all got good arms.
01:20They're quarterbacks.
01:21You know who has a cannon for an arm?
01:23Mahomes.
01:23Jeff George.
01:25That was always the thing about Jeff George.
01:27So does Jamarcus Russell.
01:28He had a cannon for an arm.
01:29Yes.
01:30Right.
01:31Everybody that the Raiders drafted had a cannon for an arm.
01:34You know who else had a cannon for an arm?
01:35Who?
01:36Uncle Rico.
01:37Bet you I could throw this ball over that mountain.
01:40And he was driving around in a van.
01:42Okay?
01:45Trying to get you laughing over here.
01:46Don't do that while I have water in my mouth.
01:48Well, I didn't know.
01:48I mean, it might have been the new vodka over there,
01:51because you're getting dangerously close to cracking that baby open.
01:54I mean, not going to work.
01:56Cannon for an arm.
01:57Great.
01:57Okay.
01:58Let's drink.
01:58Not going to confirm or deny.
01:59You know who didn't have a cannon for an arm,
02:02and he won a Super Bowl and turned out to be an unbelievable quarterback?
02:06Drew Brees.
02:06Oh, I thought you were going to say Joe Montana.
02:07I'm just going on Drew Brees.
02:08Joe Montana.
02:10Right.
02:10So, a cannon for an arm.
02:13Great.
02:13Let's drink.
02:14Like, yeah.
02:15So, I do think, and I don't know how to say this,
02:18because it's like literally the most disrespectful phrase in the English language.
02:23So, I don't know how to say it respectfully,
02:25but that's how I'd like to do it if I could.
02:27I want to say this respectfully.
02:29Okay.
02:29Who cares?
02:31Okay, same thing.
02:32Is he a top five QB?
02:33No.
02:34Who cares?
02:36Neither is Jalen Hurts.
02:37Right.
02:39So, why do you have to be 6'4 with a cannon for an arm,
02:44even though I don't agree that Jared Goff is 6'4 with a cannon arm?
02:47He's 6'4.
02:47I'll agree that he's 6'4.
02:49I'll agree that he's 6'4.
02:51I don't know that automatically that makes everything easier or harder or whatever.
02:57I just think that football is hard, and you have to be really good at it.
03:02You have to be really good at processing.
03:04Does that mean that another pass or two will get batted down every month?
03:10You know, if you're Purdy versus Goff, maybe.
03:13Maybe it does.
03:14But there's also a thousand other things that affect it.
03:17Okay, so that's one answer.
03:19How about this?
03:19And this comes from Kay on Twitter.
03:23And Kay's got himself a potty mouth.
03:25Oh.
03:26He's got a potty mouth.
03:27Okay.
03:27Because Grant Cone and his Circle Bleep members are a bunch of bleeps.
03:36People in real life love Brock.
03:39Okay.
03:40And I think that that's right.
03:42Do you think that that's true?
03:43I think that more people like Brock than we actually allow to voice it.
03:50And it's a little bit of the echo chamber you talk about.
03:52For sure.
03:52I think that there's more people who think that Brock is a good quarterback than there are people who think that he's an overpaid bum.
04:00I agree.
04:00I absolutely agree with that.
04:02I think most 49er fans really like, maybe I won't use the word love, but really like Brock Purdy.
04:08But the question still remains.
04:11Because you have similar stats and similar accomplishments from Jared Goff and Brock Purdy.
04:17And one fan base can't stop chanting his name, and the other one can't stop at least doing this.
04:23Even if you like Brock Purdy, you can't seem to stop going, I need to see more.
04:30That's the phrase.
04:32I need to see more.
04:34And it's constant.
04:35And I get it.
04:36I really do.
04:37I get it.
04:38I don't know why we seem to really have that feeling in our bones when we watch him play, when we watch him accomplish, when we watch him win playoff games, and then go back the next year and win more playoff games.
04:52And we watch him go toe-to-toe with Mahomes in a Super Bowl.
04:56And seemingly, we come out of each year with, I need to see more.
04:59Now, it's only been two and a half seasons.
05:02I understand that.
05:05But by the same token, do you?
05:09Do you need to see more?
05:11Do you need to see more?
05:13What more do you need to see is the thing.
05:15And do you need to see him do it with a lesser cast?
05:19Well, you're probably going to get to see that here for the first however many weeks.
05:22And I know John Lynch spoke today about Brandon Ayuk not being ready for Week 1.
05:27I don't think he'll be ready until Week 8, personally, based on the research I've done with that surgery.
05:33So, if you want to see Brock Purdy do more with less, you're going to have Kittle and Juwan and Ricky Pearsall.
05:41And McCaffrey.
05:42But you're not going to have this amazing cast of characters, even two years ago, when you had Pete Debo, you had McCaffrey lead the league in touches and touchdowns, you had the best tight end in football, you had Brandon Ayuk over 1,300 yards, you had an unbelievable cast that you're not going to have this year.
06:02So, do you need him to do it this year with this group?
06:05Well, yeah, and let's just say they go 12-5, and McCaffrey has 1,800 combined yards, Kittle's got 12 touchdowns, and Pearsall really pops.
06:15Well, people are still going to say, well, I mean, you needed a first-round receiver to pop, and you got a Hall of Fame tight end and a Hall of Fame running back.
06:23What have you done?
06:23But how does the receiver pop?
06:26Who threw George all those touchdowns?
06:28It would be him, yeah.
06:30No, I'm totally with you, but people are going to naysay as long as they can naysay.
06:34I guess, but that circles us back to the original question, because Lions fans don't need to see more.
06:42They don't.
06:44They don't need to see them.
06:44They want to.
06:45They want to win a Super Bowl, but they don't have questions about the validity of their quarterback.
06:52They don't.
06:54And that's fine.
06:55That's fine.
06:56Like, you know, different cities, different fan bases, different experiences, but I want to explore it a little bit, and I think we're doing that today.
07:02Yeah.
07:03How about Jack of All Trades on Twitter says, here's the one.
07:07Oh, see, now this is going to get me upset, because Purdy needs all pros at every position, and Jared Goff doesn't.
07:18Okay.
07:18Huh.
07:19Hit me with the position where Purdy's got an all pro, and Jared doesn't.
07:24Well, left tackle.
07:25Oh, I'm sorry.
07:26Have we never heard of Penny Sewell?
07:30Yeah, he's the right tackle, but I'll allow it.
07:32You get what I'm talking about.
07:33I'm just trying to say it before Grandy comes down.
07:36Superstar offensive tackle.
07:38Grandy is in there, like, fact-checking everything.
07:41Yeah.
07:41The Lions have a phenomenal offensive line.
07:44I would argue a better one than the 49ers.
07:47Okay?
07:47So, next, where does Jared Goff not have an all pro where Brock Purdy does?
07:54A tight end, although Laporte is very good.
07:57Sam Laporte is not an all pro level tight end.
07:59I don't know if he was an all pro last year.
08:01Why do you know pro ball?
08:02Whatever.
08:02Yeah.
08:03That is a very good, that's an elite tight end.
08:07No doubt.
08:07That's a top six or seven tight end.
08:10Agreed.
08:10Does he have a superstar running back?
08:12A couple of them.
08:12Does he have a superstar wide receiver?
08:14At least one, maybe more.
08:16Like, what are we talking about?
08:21What are we talking about?
08:24What?
08:25What does Jared Goff not have that Brock does?
08:29You just know their names better because we live here.
08:33Exactly.
08:33That's it.
08:34And they're a little bit more established.
08:36Who?
08:37Kittle over Laporte.
08:38Okay.
08:39McCaffrey over Montgomery and Gibbs.
08:41I mean, you could argue on some of these positions that that's a bad thing for the 49er version.
08:47Like youth.
08:47Well, they're more known and they're more established.
08:50Right, but Jameer Gibbs right now is probably as fast and dynamic as the league has to offer.
08:55Right?
08:56Yeah, I mean, he was amazing.
08:58And, you know, you had David Montgomery go for nearly 800 yards as well.
09:02So, that two-man tandem, especially the, I think it was week one when I, I think I sat him week one.
09:09You probably did.
09:10I think I did.
09:10He had like 34 points or something.
09:12I remember that.
09:13Yeah.
09:13That might have been two years ago when I did that.
09:15It was.
09:15It was two years ago.
09:17You had a hard time knowing when to start David.
09:19Yeah.
09:19I'm like, you need to start him.
09:21Well, I started starting him.
09:22Then you started starting him.
09:23Then you got hurt.
09:23Then you started him.
09:25Yeah.
09:25Then you made a bunch of touchdowns that year.
09:27Gibbs, we had 12 last year.
09:29Gibbs was 16.
09:30Those two combined for 28 rushing touchdowns and 2,200 yards.
09:36Gibbs is out of control.
09:37He's good.
09:37Gibbs is so good.
09:39Where's he going in the drafts this year?
09:41Top seven?
09:41First round, yeah.
09:42Top seven?
09:42Probably top five, top three.
09:44Yeah.
09:44Gibbs is going.
09:45Oh, by the way, just for fun, I did confirm with Abe last night that he did get Saquon
09:53Barkley at number six.
09:55You guys want to take any guesses at who went in the five picks before Saquon Barkley?
10:01Was Gibbs?
10:02In this kid's fantasy draft?
10:04Gibbs was one of them, yes.
10:06Jameer Gibbs was one.
10:07Yeah.
10:08Probably, I don't think Derrick Henry would, no.
10:11No, not Derrick Henry.
10:13Justin Jefferson?
10:14Justin Jefferson was one.
10:15Puka was not.
10:16Puka went seven.
10:18Jamar?
10:18Jamar, definitely.
10:19Jamar was number one overall.
10:21That's three, so we still need, what?
10:23We need two more.
10:25Kyron Williams?
10:26I got no.
10:26It's an L.A. draft.
10:27Yeah, it was an L.A. draft.
10:28No, it was not Kyron Williams.
10:30And by the way, I need a moment to make sure I remember who the other one was.
10:35I know one of them, and I'm trying to think of who the other one was.
10:39Woo, doctor.
10:42Yeah, anyway, keep guessing.
10:44And I'll be able to tell you.
10:48Not B. John.
10:50Oh, yes.
10:50Yeah, there you go.
10:52Whichever one.
10:53B. John or B. John.
10:54Yep.
10:55Whichever one.
10:56And then there was one more.
10:57C.D. Lamb?
10:58That is correct.
10:59Okay.
11:00That is correct.
11:01I'm just looking at...
11:02Those were your top five in his fantasy draft.
11:04He got Saquon Barkley at number six.
11:06And I bet if Evan Giddings is driving home listening to us right now, he'd agree.
11:10Because he's fading Saquon Barkley.
11:12I am too.
11:13No, I get it.
11:14I'm not calling it crazy.
11:15I mean, if that's your metric, which is whoever led the league in touches last year is about
11:21to run out of gas, I mean, you've got some evidence.
11:24If I'm picking third, and I'm looking at fantasypros.com, and they do the average draft position,
11:29the ADP.
11:30I got it right this time.
11:31You down with ADP?
11:32Yeah, you know me.
11:33And I think it's a valuable pre-draft tool to see, especially when you get into later
11:38rounds, like where other leagues are taking guys.
11:40But Jamar Chase is one, B. John Robinson two, and then Saquon is three.
11:46So if I'm sitting at three, and Jamar and B. John are both off the board, I'm not taking
11:50Saquon.
11:50Who are you taking?
11:51I'll let you know.
11:52Oh.
11:52I'll get back to you.
11:54The last thing I need to do is give up my strategy.
11:57You know what I'm going to do this year?
11:58There's no strategy in the top five.
11:59You got your people, and then they're, you know what I mean?
