I will ask, how about them Cowboys?

I'm impressed? Dare I say, I'm surprised.

I've been screaming and begging for them to just wake up and make a bold move.

There's like a stick figure and he's got a little stick and he's just poking. Somebody's like, come on, do something. That's been us poking. The Cowboys logo as Howie Roseman rules the world and the Commanders have next and the Giants are reloading Cowboys underwhelming head coach hire free agency draft, and now this is the Lightning Bolts, and I have no pushback. They needed talent at wide receiver. They got talent and wide receiver. And I think this is incredible because if you look at CD and Pickens, it's like they who did they get CD to be his number two? They got CD? They got himself. Look at the measurables. I know there's a lot more complicated nuance in these players.

Wow.

Wow.

Six two six three two hundred two hundred four five four four seven, literally the exact same vertical jump and pretty much exactly the same arm length physically. It is carbon copies. It's Pam saying they're the same picture. These guys are on either side of Dak maybe the same side. They are out there physically imposing, making a threat to the Eagles, to the Commanders. They have a number two receiver, and more importantly, they have a pulse. They're doing something I've been screaming at the Jones family.

Guys.

Guys.

Engage here, get in the fight. Don't just run the same nonsense back they didn't. I've called them the most boring team in the NFC East. They just acquired maybe the least boring player in the league. For all of his faults, and we'll get into them, because I don't think this is necessary, a doomsday horrible thing for the Steelers, but it is a sign of life for the Cowboys.

It was going. Now the needles are jumping. I'm impressed.

It was going. Now the needles are jumping. I'm impressed.

I'm a little excited, and they are far more interesting and far more dynamic. George Pickens is not always a parade and a picnic guys, and there will be a lot of attention on him but he's incredibly talented. They need it, they got it, and the fact that they did something makes me get high five to the Jones family.

Thank you. Is George Pigot's prepared to be a true number two?

Well, listen, I think he would have been if he stayed in Pittsburgh.

Behind DK, and he would have had a lesser quarterback going to him.

Behind DK, and he would have had a lesser quarterback going to him.

George Pickson is about to have an excellent quarterback Like that to me is the end of the conversation. Dak Prescott will get him the ball. He'll be open a lot because of CD. I don't think with Pickens it's an issue of I'm the number one. I think it's often an issue of I want the ball. He's going to get the ball. Like this is a very very comfortable situation.

It feels like a fit. Of course, he's mercurial.

It feels like a fit. Of course, he's mercurial.

And listen, I put up that side by side of the two of them and CD, and I said, look, they're the same player, and a very common response on Twitter is yeah, physically, except one of those two players is insane.

And listen, I put up that side by side of the two of them and CD, and I said, look, they're the same player, and a very common response on Twitter is yeah, physically, except one of those two players is insane.

All right, I get it. Pickens is a little different. I'm not calling him insane, but there is this.

All right, I get it. Pickens is a little different. I'm not calling him insane, but there is this.

I mean, we can't just say, ah, he'll just slide in there and he'll get his eighty five catches and he'll hide five CD every time he gets the ball. I think that George Pickens is in the best quarterback situation of his career, maybe the best offensive situation of his career. In a true passing game. The cowboy not going to do that great running the ball. They're chucking this thing. So all this stuff, I think it's like if you were looking to give him a cookie.

And by the way, I think this is all of the reasons the Pittsburgh Steelers did not want to give him the biggest cookie of all, which.

My question always with the Cowboys every single year, is this year different. It's the same team, it's the same product, it's the same quarterback, it's the same coach. Well, it's not the same coach, And like, this is a very dynamic change to the offense and maybe it'll blow up in their face.

Maybe it'll go terribly.

Maybe it'll go terribly.

But I'm choosing to think positive right now. That for the question why is this team different, This team's a lot different with that player. That player, for all his faults and talents, is going to change things. I think for the positive. But in terms of starting the season and wins, like, they have.

They can't just sit back and be like I guess this is the Eagles dynasty era because Roseman is a better GM than us and they have better players.

That's nonsense.

That's nonsense.

The Cowboys aren't supposed to do filler seasons, are not supposed to be happy with this, and that they're supposed to win. So this is a move that says like, no, we're fighting back. I'm almost inspired by them because I was. I had let them go, and I just thought it was like, all right, Commanders, Eagles, and we'll see it from the Giants. The Cowboys made a chess move here, and I.

I'm fired up trying to sympathize with these with these young guys, because there is a problem becoming a problem in the NFL, where you have teams like the Giants or the Bears.

Lawrence Taylor says no. Phil simm says no. So he's like, all right, I can't get eleven. How about we'll go now one to ten. Nope, that's Eli's number.

Two that's straight hand. Can't have that.

I feel bad for him because also listen, Abdul Carter, he's aware of Lawrence Taylor. Lawrence Taylor has been retired for over thirty years. Even if he did the studying and went to YouTube, I don't think someone his age could really appreciate someone like Lawrence Taylor. I can't genuinely appreciate Larry Zanko or John Riggins. As much as I may love them, it's not the same as having been alive and seen them when they played.

And I went and I looked at the Giants retired numbers, and then I went and looked at the Giants numerical roster, and I have an idea. So he decided abdul Carter. He says he woned fifty six. Yes, he wanted eleven. No, so he wanted this right.

Go with fifty one. I like it.

Go with fifty one. I like it.

Fifty one is available on the Giants roster right now. Fifty one is not retired by the New York Giants. It's half of LT, it's half of SIMS. It's a classic linebacker number, Buck Kiss, Brian Cox at al.

And by the way, you're not going to go with like eight or something like New fangle. The Giants fans will respect that it's an old fashion number and they they will resonate with them.

It's sitting there. It's half eleven half fifty six. Think it works for you. I really admire the take from Harbaugh. It's just as usual for him. It's original, it's a little out there, but it actually comes back to really solid football. And justin Herbert has the talent, he has the coach, and harbust saying, look, here's the deal. We're a handful of years in with Herbert, we're going to get into the Hall of Fame. It's very simple. You have to win a Super Bowl.

That's it. Just study the history of Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

All of the ones in the modern era save a couple exceptions, the Manny ands Eli who will get in, and Brady and Breeze and Rogers, like, there's really one exception and it's Warren Moon. But his case is very unique because he was winning championships in Canada before he was even playing in the NFL.

Look at Philip Rivers.

Look at Philip Rivers.

Philip Rivers had massive stats, he has one playoff games. I do not think he will be in the Hall of Fame because he's never appeared in the Super Bowl. With quarterbacks, it is not wide receiver, tight end or pass rusher. Show me your ring if you want to get into Canton. So Harbaugh even said it in the clip himself, He's like, he set a couple super bowls.

One will do it.

That's where we're at. You have to win a super Bowl. And listen, where are we at with Justin Herbert? So Jamie mentioned he has this amazing prolific year in which he doesn't throw interceptions. We show up in the playoffs, we throw four interceptions in one game. That's where we're at with Herbert right now. His reputation that he has earned, talented, good statistically everything, but we have not seen it in January, let alone February. So what Arba's saying is I want him to go to the promised lands of football heaven and we got a ton of work to do.

And he's right.

And he's right.

I have some different ones, guys. Number three, I had Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield was fantastic last year. He put up massive numbers, huge stats, huge touchdown total for a team that wins. He found his home in Tampa and is excellent. I think Baker in the NFC is top three.

I have heard so two. The numbers aren't really there, like they're not.

I have heard so two. The numbers aren't really there, like they're not.

And you know that there was times last year where the passing game was not the thing because it was Saque left and Saque right. But I really was incredibly blown away by his performance in the Super Bowl. Is also when everybody doubts him. I put him there, out of there, and then listen, I had number one. Joe Burrow led the NFL in passing last year. Do you know who was number two? It was Jared Goff. It was Jared Goff who runs that steam engine in Detroit, and they did not.

Win the Super Bowl. They did not get to the Super Bowl. He was fantastic this last year.

And I think he left the bad taste in everybody's mouth with the way this season ended. Look up the numbers, look up the leadership, look up the efficiency. If you're looking for a quarterback in the NFC, you want to look at the AFC. But if you can't look at the AFC, these are my top three, and I stand behind Kyle. I'm going to push back on that logic because if you're going to put Golf as your number one quarterback and he's the locomotive for that team and that's why they win, why wouldn't you have Hurts anywhere on.

Have Jalen Hurds is a qualifier or is he?

Oh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry they get confusing. I know, Jamie. I got Hurts right there at too. What I met was jayde and Daniels.

Oh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry they get confusing. I know, Jamie. I got Hurts right there at too. What I met was jayde and Daniels.

Jamie predetermined her receiver before I even went. She thought I wasn't going to have Hurts on Jamie. I am actually hurt. Yes, I got him right there at two.

Okay, what about Jane Daniels.

That's why I meant it so the name that was meant to come out.

Of my mouth Jane Daniels. Yeah, it's one year. It was an amazing year. We've seen some guys. Listen last year, if you were going to put C. J.

Of my mouth Jane Daniels. Yeah, it's one year. It was an amazing year. We've seen some guys. Listen last year, if you were going to put C. J.

Stroud as your top AFC three quarterback, you wouldn't be doing it. It just it's a little bit of time served. And nobody likes Jane Daniels more than me. I love them, But like top three is rare, do it again next year.

Stroud as your top AFC three quarterback, you wouldn't be doing it. It just it's a little bit of time served. And nobody likes Jane Daniels more than me. I love them, But like top three is rare, do it again next year.

Maybe you'll be number one next year.

Maybe you'll be number one next year.

I think it's way more interesting for the Pittsburgh Steelers because leads us to the question of where are you headed? What is the plan? Where are we going to end up Week one in September? Because you guys know how I feel about this. Wherever you're headed, I'm in. I'm always in on the Steelers. I will never abandon them. They don't do fillers, they don't do six and eleven seasons. They will find a way to ten and seven or nine and eight. You know it, and I know it. I don't care who they get rid of. And yet I still don't know what the hell the plan is. If the plan is for Rogers, then you just severed a huge piece of talent with which to carry a forty one year old quarterback is going to need it. If the plan's not for Rogers, and it's some holy crap, we're actually going with Mason Rudolph thing, which I know there are some Steelers fans who say, screw it, let's do it. Then you need as much talent to carry him. So I don't know what the plan is with quarterbacks still, just like you do. And just when you think couldn't get weirder that the Steelers don't have a quarterback, they get rid of one of their best receivers.

However, I set them in. I'm still in, and I'm in.

However, I set them in. I'm still in, and I'm in.

Because I respect their conviction in saying we don't want a future with this player. And we've been around the block a few times. Anyone who's confused or chagrined that they let go of George Pickens, I would ask you the question during the Mike Tomlin era.

Can you think of.

Can you think of.

A couple of guys, especially at wide received that they have let go or moved on from, who have gone on to do tremendous things in their next stop.

I can't. I can think of the other guys.

I can't. I can think of the other guys.

I can think of Chase Claypool, Deontae Johnson, and certainly Antonio Brown, who eventually, with all those cases, the Steelers said, I think that's enough. They move on, and it's not like they make the Steelers look terrible for moving on with them, about how could you let go of this player? The Steelers have a good sense of who that player is and are they a future Steeler. They're showing their hand right now that a guy that they drafted and were in position to pay this year if they wanted to know, we are out.

So since we're out, what the hell, Let's hook.

Somebody who doesn't know this guy like we do, and let's get some value. Let's get some draft picks. Let's do all of that now. Don't tell me that they're planning for the future. There is no future with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's always about the now. So this is not a filler season in twenty twenty five that they're gonna have draft picks next year. Blah blah blah. They got to get those nine or ten wins this year, as they.

Will curious as to how they're gonna do it. But I want it very clear.

Will curious as to how they're gonna do it. But I want it very clear.

When the playoff picking time comes down in September, I will pick the Steelers. I don't care if George Pickens isn't on the team anymore. They'll figure it out just right now. On May seventh, I have not no idea how.

The Ravens are.

The Ravens are.

Just this team where I look at them going into twenty twenty five and I'd say, just get me to the playoffs. Fast forward the season. I know you're gonna be good. I know you're gonna win a bunch of games. You're gonna have a bunch of highlights.

Just fast forward to the playoffs.

It's they feel to me like the Cowboys used to feel, where it's just it's you know they're gonna get there. You know they're gonna win double digit games. It's just about that one or maybe two games in January. Where does Lamar play his best game? Will he was just talking about. I don't think Lamar chokes in the playoffs. I don't think he falls on his face. I think he doesn't show up with his a game. I think he plays fine. He doesn't blow people away like he does in the regular season. He doesn't play his best in the playoff games. And if that's a reason to draw swords for Ravens fans, then you're not watching as closely as you should be.
