(45:51-46:59) – The first hour of the program concludes with Jake and James previewing hour number two!
(46:59-1:14:36) – Jake Query and James Boyd begin hour number two by discussing why they believe Chris Ballard didn’t go out and add a veteran safety despite the lack of proven success from the current group and having a real discussion about Anthony Richardson. They get into a debate on if they believe he can be a great quarterback in the NFL to be put in the same conversation as Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and others. Jake and James try to figure out which quarterback Anthony Richardson is between being able to elevate the talent around him or if he needs talent around him to succeed.
(1:14:36-1:29:17) – Jake and James continue their conversation from the end of the previous segment about paying quarterbacks even though they may not warrant being in the same conversation contractually as others. They transition to Chris Ballard not spending money in the secondary with a ton of players that are unproven both at corner and safety besides Kenny Moore II.
