He's like running routes against air and then he's acting like he's catching the ball. And I'm like, that's Jerry. Holy shit. And I'm like, bro, like take a day off, man. And a couple of things went through my mind. First was, is that Jerry? I said, yes. And the second thing is, the question I asked myself is, am I supposed to go out there and throw it to him?
Like, man, I don't want to go throw it to him. I can't remember if I did or didn't. I want to believe I went out there and at least tried. But that's when people say, who's Jerry Rice? Jerry Rice is the guy when no one, like he must have had a key somewhere. Because the guard didn't know he's back there. He goes, hey, Jerry Rice is back there. He's like, yes. What the hell? You know?
I'm like, yeah, he must have. Knowing Jerry had a key. That's crazy. To the gate. And he was going to go do the work. Wow. And so that's Jerry Rice. And so put the numbers of Jerry Rice up there. And look at even today when the game is wide open. Jerry Rice, all his records should be under duress. Right? They should be. being lapped in today's game. And you can't get close to him.
No, it wasn't that. You guys don't believe the hype now. Come on. That was pre-1985. That was the stick-em era. Now the gloves that they have today are much tackier. than anything that we had when we were playing with in the 80s and 90s much tackier yeah the idea that you can go back behind and grab a ball with one hand like odell does those those gloves are
Much tackier than they were back in the day.
Now, look, I don't know how the ceiling is, and you've got to go through some filters like I told you, but you've got to get into a spot where you can get some help. What I didn't like about Caleb's game yesterday is in the first half, like, look, clearly under duress. Things are really going south fast.
get out man and start like make plays like we're not going down this way and so what i didn't like about his game yesterday is he just kind of sat there looking for the third guy waiting for someone to come open like no get out go make something happen refuse to go down that way so there's still learning that he's going to have but i early there's some things i've seen this year that i feel like i would want to invest in caleb for sure um
I don't think it's fair to say CJ Stroud anymore because I think we've seen it. Now we just got to get it developed and get him all the help that he needs and everything else. I really feel that he's in a great spot. Help me go around the league. I'm just thinking what the Sam Darnold is going to – I mean, what do the Vikings do?
You're insane to not sign a guy that's doing that for you. Right. He's playing as well as you could expect.
McCarthy? I would be Bill Walsh and say, look, awkward, but let's go. You know who will benefit? The Vikings. Right. We don't know which one of you will benefit more or less, but right now the Vikings will benefit. Yeah. And as long as you don't have a toxic personality, which I know JJ is not, and I know Sam's not like, you know, Joe and I were not toxic personalities.
We weren't going to inflame things in the locker room. It wasn't going to be worse because of the awkwardness. Now that can happen. You don't want that, but I would be unafraid, especially with my history. I'd like, bro, Two of you, let's just, let's go.
Especially if you get JJ for free for a few years. Right. So, you know, I don't know. I just, when someone's playing great football in the NFL today and you know that, you know, over and over again, As Sam has shown this year, I believe that this is the truth of Sam Darnold. He will grow from here. He's going to be like Josh Allen. He can run. He can move.
He can do all the things that you need from a prototype quarterback today to get out and get those free yards. And I would not let... Sam Darnold go at all. And I don't care who you have at quarterback, other than maybe Patrick or Josh, I would say bring him in. If you can get him at a price that works, make it awkward, man. If they're going to let him go, do not.
And if I was Sam, I am not going back to one of those places that doesn't take care of, that doesn't understand the quarterback position. So I will go compete with, to go to one of those places that does.
Nope. You have to dynamite me out of a place like that.
Max fell asleep, but other than that, it was super exciting. Yeah.
Football is weird, different, because the job is to go ram into other people, and it's unusual. You know, as a team game, look, there's UFC, there's boxing, there's other things that, you know, that's part of, that's the game. But the game in football is, I gotta go get people to ram into other people. And honestly, it's not natural. And so for the human condition, I don't care how tough you are.
It's not natural to just go like, I can't wait to go ram into somebody. And so in football, when things were, when you have a sense of, of one, right? And we're accountable and we work together and we have each other's back and, you know, over my dead body. And like, then that natural incentive comes, like it comes out of people, like it comes out of the locker room.
Like you can feel it, feel it in warmups. Like I swear I can watch a team warm up and I can feel the level of this over my dead body feeling, this sense of commitment to go ram into somebody this week, I'm ready.
and so when you start losing and then you're out of it then it's tough because naturally even tough veterans of the nfl human is like i really don't want to ram anybody this week like i'd rather not and so it it makes it super hard more than any other sport that when things are you know you're out of the playoffs you're you know you're just you know running out the clock of the season
