The Bill Simmons Podcast
The Luka Buzz, NFL Draft Scoops, and a Huge Celtics Sale With Todd McShay and Chris Mannix

And I just took a minute and I went back and I looked at Kevin Stefanski's history. What has made him successful? What has he been successful with? Well, Case Keenum, he won 11 games with as a coach. Kirk Cousins, he won 10 games with. And a quarterback coach, offensive coordinator, like hands-on with those guys. And so it got me thinking like, The skill sets are the same.

Not big, not mobile, not elite arms, but process quickly. That's his secret sauce. That's what makes him special. Would you put Flacco in there? Flacco, modern-day Flacco, still has a big arm, but not like, you know, the Baltimore Ravens in his prime, Flacco, and has never been overly mobile.

So, yeah, so he's winning games with these guys where pocket passers don't have these traits, but they all process quickly. They're accurate passers. That's what Shador is. And so now I'm looking at it, I'm saying, Cleveland is in purgatory salary cap-wise because of the Deshaun Watson deal. So if I'm Andrew Barry,

And I don't have any information that's saying Cleveland is taking Shador, just to make that clear. But if I'm Andrew Barry and I'm saying, all right, the salary cap's horrible this year, and it's not going to be any better next year. We maybe can get a Russell Wilson or make a trade for Kirk Cousins, but that's just temporary.

That could help us win some games this year while we're developing a young quarterback, whether that's for later in his rookie year or for year two. But we got to get to year two because if we're drafting this high next year and talking about like Garrett Nussmeyer from LSU or Carson Beck or whoever the quarterbacks are going to be next year,

Correct. So it makes sense that you're bringing Kenny Pickett as a backup and maybe he does better things than all of us expect if forced into duty. Exactly. But so why are they still in the market for these veterans? Well, they're not going to cost anything. And so they weren't in it for Stafford. They're not in it for Aaron Rodgers.

But if they can bring in someone to help win games, whether it's the whole year or part of this rookie year for Shador Sanders, that gives them a shot. And then if you have Shador, there's energy, there's excitement about the future. And Stefanski is one of the handful of guys in the league that I believe could get the most out of Shador and actually win a lot of games with.
