I don't know if I can cement him in the top five right now. Extremely talented, still very early in his career. The top four cemented, it's Josh Allen, Lamar, Patrick, Joe Burrow, whatever order you want to go.
Yeah, and honestly, I would probably put Matt Stafford there. He's a very good quarterback, and it's really easy to him. He's at that stage of his career. But I think Jordan Love is right there. It was a joke in those beginning parts of the season where he's throwing interceptions. That is the question mark around Jordan Love is because he is this risk taker.
He trusts his ability, his arm strength, and sometimes it gets them into trouble. Now he plays really great. It sucks to be a player to be like, hey, I played really good in the month of December, the most important month of the season, heading to the playoffs, and they call it the Toyotathon. They make a big joke out of it. Sometimes it's happy Honda days.
Happy Honda days, whatever you want to call it. That is why Jordan Love, in my opinion, and why he's in that conversation, because he does get better as the season progresses and into the playoffs, and He has that kind of ability. It's just early on, you have to mitigate the risks that he takes. Otherwise, it gets them into trouble routinely.
No, it's not. And that's why he's one of those four. Like, Joe Burrow, they're young. The issue is, like... He has obviously his entire career ahead of him. Like, there's nobody under 35 that has won a Super Bowl in the NFL, quarterback-wise, except Patrick Mahomes. And that's like, I don't know if that's a stat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. But, like, I said under 35. Under 35. Yeah.
There's only one quarterback under the age of 35 in the NFL that has won a Super Bowl, and it's Patrick Mahomes. He's right.
1980s. Yeah. So the point is, is like we look at these quarterbacks, and they are incredible. Joe, Lamar, Josh Allen. But it's the same narrative, and it's β Depending on who you're talking about, if you make it like, oh, Lamar needs to do this, right, or Josh Allen. No one's done it except Mahomes. Like, he's in a class of his own.
Is that what we're reporting this on?
Where did he come from? Columbus. He is born in Columbus. But he raps on like a lot of cities. I'm sorry. No, that's OK.
Travis Hunter has to know that this comes with it, and he has to learn from primetime that this is a part of the process. If Travis Hunter goes to Florida State, He's still an incredible player. We don't care as much. That's just a fact of the matter. And that is the prime time effect. And I feel like there is nobody better positioned to teach Travis Hunter that lesson.
Now, my advice to Travis Hunter would be keep the main thing the main thing. You're going to make a bunch of money from football. And if any of these things become distractions that affect how you play on the field, which they will. And they can and they have. And I know many of cases and examples of that.
Then it's not worth it before you get to the inevitable 200 million dollars you're going to be worth in three short years.
I was locked in, I'm not going to lie. I appreciated the stats, and I wanted more.
Never mind. Keep the main thing the main thing, Jeremy.
So you felt like they gave him too much respect by having so many people around him, guarding him while he's in handcuffs. That's not a crazy take. The crazy take was he's not some mass murderer. He murdered one person.
And I'm dripped out. I'm hella dripped out, as Dan would say.
I didn't say no, I wasn't. He said, how contagious are you? Okay. And I said, I don't know.
I didn't say no, I wasn't. He said, how contagious are you? Okay. And I said, I don't know.
I thought you wanted me to play through injury.
