Just look at the draft class this year.

And I think Cole Payton's part of that discussion.

And the big thing that like where you look at the composition of the depth chart right now, he's going to be the QB for right now.

But again, we're taught we've discussed Cole Payton throughout the entirety of the offseason as a guy that we didn't want to start right now.

He needed to sit.

He needed to learn and grow and.

After this season, Andy Dalton, Tanner McKee are both free agents.

We could walk into 2027 and Cole Payton is the clear QB2 behind Jalen Hurts.

And you look at the body, the archetype, the skill sets and stuff of Cole Payton.

Dude, there's a lot to like there.

And so you're telling me, like, look, the Eagles cannot get out of Jalen Hurts' contract basically earliest until 2028.

A lot of things can happen between now and then.

But a guy that, based off of the upside and the talent and the rushing equity, and I hated the Tim Tebow comparisons throughout the entirety of the pre-draft process because— That's nonsense.

He—

He's way better as an arm talent.

They're not even comparable.

Like, again, another player that we broke down, which film studio and stuff like who said that?

I want to go to their house with my friend Joshua.

It's everywhere on social media.

I mean, that was that was it was such a lazy.
