Number two, I think the media deserves a little bit of fault also because we had the entire country thinking he was going to be a first rounder when the NFL scouts didn't tell us this. We were told this from Jeremiah, Kuyper, McShay. Everyone said at worst he was a second round pick at worst. NFL didn't think that way. The scouts and coaches didn't think that way.
Thirdly, I think the kid has to realize that there was a little bit of arrogance and cockiness about his approach to the whole process. And when you couple all that together, Russillo, when you put all those things together, I think the combination of all of that turned some of the teams off. about a guy who they deemed to be a backup quarterback.

And here's the real kicker that nobody wants to talk about. 32 teams didn't need a quarterback, all right? You're really only talking about five to seven teams that needed a quarterback. Well, Tennessee took theirs, all right? New York had a decision to make. New York chose Jackson Dart. The New Orleans Saints chose Tyler Shuck. Mike Tomlin chose Aaron Rodgers. All right.

So when you start thinking about the teams that needed a quarterback, they chose other people. And I think the combination of all the things that I said is the reason why. And I think our society wants to put it in a certain category. It's collusion. It's race. It's the owners teaching Dion a lesson. I don't think it's any of that. I just think it's a combination of things.

that came together where the kid wasn't as talented as we thought he was. And the NFL says, okay, we don't really like how your persona or your attitude or whatever fits with what we have going, and they'd rather not deal with it. And so when you get to the fifth round, I don't know how much guaranteed money that's there.

He's in a position now in the fifth round where if he goes into Cleveland and he doesn't do the things exactly the way they want to, they'll cut him. And I think that's the position these teams wanted to be in with him rather than be in a position where he's a first or second-round pick and they owe him something and he's almost forced to be on the team. That's my take on it.

Think about this, Ryan. We have put people in this league that have killed people. The NFL is about winning. There have been people that have killed people and played in the league. So the NFL will tell you if your talent is great enough, we will tolerate a lot of things. So they just don't think his talent is great enough to deal with everything we're discussing.

Dude, I completely agree with you. I do think now, like even with all that being said and done. So think about this. If Cleveland takes him to everybody's happy, it's a big party. Well, Cleveland got him in the fifth round, but he's still in Cleveland. And he's still got, I think, a very favorable situation. Deshaun Watson most likely is going to be out for the year. Joe Flacco is 90.
