Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.

Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
Chris Cote 1:03
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?
Advertisement Narrator 1:11
I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
Chris Cote 1:18
Do you know how bad the takes had to be yesterday for us to be an hour into reviewing how bad the takes were? And no one's even mentioned Chris Cody saying he'd rather have Zach Wilson than Russell Wilson.

Is Zach Wilson a better choice than Russell Wilson?

Chris Cote 1:30
What a sad conversation this Zach Wilson conversation is. It's so sad. Everyone coming at me on Twitter, oh, I'd rather have Minshew. I'd rather have Jameis. It's just the names that are getting thrown at me. It's not bad.
Billy 1:44
Chris, it's an insane hill to die on. I'm sorry.
Chris Cote 1:47
I'm not saying that he's great. I'm saying show me a quarterback with more upside than Zach Wilson.
Stu Gatz 1:52
You're saying he has upside because of how terrible he's been, so you just assume he can't get any worse. No, it's because of where he was drafted.
Billy 1:58
Also, he's your backup.
Dan Le Batard 1:59
Right. That's what I'm saying. No, no, no. But you can't do that with the Dolphins. You can't say, but he's your backup. Because that's what we did last year.
Billy 2:05
Well, not me. Last year, I was like, they should sign a better backup because they totally. They shouldn't have let Mike White go. See, if that's what we're doing here. But he had to make the White Lotus. We want Mike White over Zach Wilson. We needed season three of White Lotus.
Chris Cote 2:18
That is the thing. The names that are being thrown back at me are so sad. Well, that's because that's the class that Zach Wilson is in, unfortunately.
Stu Gatz 2:25
Yeah, exactly.
Chris Cote 2:25
But my point is, he's in that class, and he's probably the youngest guy with the biggest arm. You can't make the argument for any of these other people over having more upside than Zach Wilson. Gardner Minshew.
Stu Gatz 2:36
So no one's going to change their opinions.
Billy 2:38
But the argument was Russell Wilson or Zach Wilson, was it?
Chris Cote 2:42
And if you say the next five years, who can be better? But they're signing him to a one-year deal. I love it. Or this year. Okay, do it this year. Russell Wilson's going to be better this year. Okay, and I don't think you can say that for sure.
Dan Le Batard 2:55
For sure.
Chris Cote 2:57
In Mike McDaniel's offense, I think Zach Wilson could be just as good as Russell Wilson in this offense.
Dan Le Batard 3:02
No, because Russell Wilson would come to this offense, and then he'd be a higher version of that, too. Yeah. I disagree. I disagree with that.
Chris Cote 3:09
I saw Russell Wilson last year, and he wasn't good. In Mike McDaniel's offense? No, in a worse offense. Okay, that's my point.
Dan Le Batard 3:14
He was actually not that bad for being in a worse offense. If you're going to say that Mike McDaniel is going to sprinkle pixie dust, if you're saying he's going to sprinkle pixie dust, and Zach Wilson, if you're saying he's going to do it a third time, I'm going to do it a fourth time. If you're saying he's going to sprinkle pixie dust, and Zach Wilson's magically going to get better, potentially, then the same pixie dust would apply to Russell Wilson as well.
Billy 3:35
The Russell Wilson-Steelers conversation is an interesting one that I feel like we've already had several times. But I don't think he is the only reason to blame for the Steelers imploding at the end of the season. And I do think that in a better world where there's not animosity perceived on my part between him and Arthur Smith, it makes sense for them to just re-sign him for a year because they're not going to get anything better. That being said, Zach Wilson wouldn't be better either.
