Frank thought really highly of him.

And that's a big part of this whole situation, feeling comfortable about a guy, reading into a guy, knowing his background, where he comes from.

Boomer & Gio

The thing about it is that when you really look at Ty Simpson, you have 15 games this past season.

Boomer & Gio

He played six games the previous season.

Boomer & Gio

It's not the 35 to the 45 games that you'd like to see a guy play in college, and you see the consistency throughout that.

Boomer & Gio

I mean, the kid is...

Boomer & Gio
Full Show - Opening Day Right Ahead, Jets Looking For 2nd QB, Nick Swisher Calls In

6'1", about 210 pounds, so he's kind of on the lower end of the physical traits that you want, okay?

Boomer & Gio

Fernando Mendoza is right there smack dab in the middle.

Boomer & Gio

6'5", 245 pounds, can run if he has to run, will stand in the pocket, and he's extremely accurate.

Boomer & Gio

And the same thing I can say about Ty Simpson, he's really accurate too.

Boomer & Gio

And that's what you love about these kids is that, you know, hopefully both of them turn out to be really good players.

And the debate...

Boomer & Gio
Full Show - Opening Day Right Ahead, Jets Looking For 2nd QB, Nick Swisher Calls In

I don't think there's really a debate as to who's going number one.

Boomer & Gio

I think the whole Dan Arvlosky thing that happened on ESPN was more about where are you drafting these kids?

Boomer & Gio

What did he say?

Boomer & Gio
Full Show - Opening Day Right Ahead, Jets Looking For 2nd QB, Nick Swisher Calls In

As I interpret it, he's saying drafting Ty Simpson at 16 is better than drafting Fernando Mendoza as number one.

Boomer & Gio

Well, it all really comes down to the needs of the teams that are picking and whether or not there is a clear number one quarterback.

Boomer & Gio

And I believe that clear number one quarterback is Mendoza because of how bright he is, how his players responded to him, the plays that he made in the biggest games, the size and strength, the arm, the accuracy.

Boomer & Gio

And there's not anything about Fernando Mendoza that you –

Boomer & Gio

wouldn't want as a quarterback.
