Are you buying that?

You didn't like it when he picked him that high, right?

I'm going to give you the counterpoint, okay?

And look, they absolutely could have added someone who would help them more with a Super Bowl run.

There's an argument Matthew Stafford's been hurt on and off, and that you would need a good backup quarterback and somebody better than you had.

There's also an argument, and look, we've seen in the league, there was this trend toward drafting more athletic quarterbacks, right?

I'm going to go Trey Lance, Justin Fields, Zach Wilson.

Anthony Richardson, right?

Oh man, he's so athletic.

Combine numbers are amazing.

Look what he can do.

Guess what?

All those guys have not lived up to expectations.

All of them.

So I think for Sean, it's less about like, oh, is this guy the equivalent to the last guy in the draft?

And more it was, I'm not drafting an athletic quarterback.

I'm drafting a guy like this guy, especially Sean, who's such a system guy, right?

He's got his own way of doing everything and he's so smart.

He wants a guy who can do those kinds of things.

And look, when you look at the other teams that needed a quarterback in this draft, the Cardinals were in play, maybe for Ty Simpson.
