Part 2: Eagles/C-Words Reax, Drake Maye Fever, the RB Boom and Million Dollar Picks With Joe House and Nate Tice

You know, shoot, the Broncos drafted Tommy Maddox for a reason. But really, it was just that kind of loose athlete, that big arm. And that's where... I see the ideal version of him becoming where it is a guy that throws on the move. There is more polish as it comes along.

But even the stuff like the mistakes he makes right now, John Hollinger always, when he used to write the stat write-ups for ESPN, this always kind of stuck with me that He would talk about young players and usage and turnover rate actually being a good sign down the road to star level play because it's those guys, they have the trust to handle the ball and two, that they're trying stuff.

Like that is the kind of the counter of what's happening with Caleb Williams right now is that he's really trying to be perfect from the pocket and it's limiting his creation ability while May is playing just loose and fast and everything. And yeah, he'll make a mistake. He'll try a ball. I mean, the interception against the Bears was just... He's just going to have two of those a game.

Yeah, but you take the other 48 good plays and you just deal with those overwhelming negatives because he's figuring it out. Even Mayo addressed this. He even said, he was like, yeah, I want him to try and figure this stuff out. You're learning what my ceilings are. Oh, I can't do that this time. Okay. And what's cool about Mayo is you can tell he learns from those mistakes.

Like he is so cognizant. It's him talking about not going to the Celtics game. That self-awareness, I think, is just really encouraging. You want that for any athlete, but especially your franchise quarterback, you take it number three. And again, that's why it's encouraging.

And just that, just the size of those two, they're both 6'4", 225. Yeah. They're both like, and that's, thank you for saying the Allen thing. That's why I never want to throw out the Allen comp. There are some play style comparisons that, But that's like comparing, you know, a two guard with a power forward. Right. You know, like it's, yes, they can play a little similar.

They do some wonky or wacky things. The sideline throw is exactly a great example. But it's also just like a, yeah, Allen is 6'5 and change and a legitimate 240. And a guy like Justin Herbert, who also gets the Drake May comparisons, Herbert's 6'6", 240. And 6'4", 225, and 240, that is a significant difference.
