Dan predicts which teams have a shot to make it all the way to the Super Bowl this season and which teams have absolutely no shot. Plus, former Super Bowl winning QB Drew Brees stops by to talk about opening night in the NFL.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan EDG. Dan Patrick Show. Drew Brees will join us. Coming up here in a little bit each seven to seven three DP show phone number. Tyler sitting behy to take your calls. Good morning, those of you allowing us into your home via peacock or into your car or your home with our radio affiliates around the country. iHeartRadio Fox Sports Radio as well. Pull question from our one. I think we were trying to be positive first hour Seaton.
We were trying to be positive. We also took a turn. Let's see favorite sports day, NFL opener, first day of the NCAA Tournament, Super Bowl Sunday, major League Baseball's opening day. Right now, NCAA Tournament's got fifty percent of the vote, the NFL opener has twenty six percent. That's pretty good.
Okay, so pretty good. Poll question for our two is going to be.
We've also got up there a combined no hitter is like, right now, I'm a little disappointed to say that Kissing had sisters in third place.
That's a bummer.
Yeah, well, yeah, they haven't kissed Todd's sister. That's my vote.
Fair right now? Leading that is, Hey, that's a huge accomplishment. Don't crap, I don't find hey. Hey yeah. That also then it's also like getting the minimal annual raise from the company.
I remember when we were at ESPN one year we got the Bob Knight VHS document or not documentary.
They had a movie.
They went through this period where they were doing movies that were based off of you know, like Dale Earnheart Senior, I think, and then Bob Knight was Brian den Denahey, he was Bob Knight, and that was our Christmas gift, I think.
And we also got the lovely Dale Arnhart story with Barry Pepper.
Yes, we got that one too.
Is a Christmas gift? Yeah, very very nice. In lieu of a ray, is there anything? It's a you got a DVD or you got a VHS tape back then. If you're not familiar with VHS, ask your mom or dad or google it.
Yes, Marvin, did you tell the bosses your kids can't eat a VHS?
No?
What are my kids supposed to do with this?
No?
No, it was a whole different ESPN back then than it is now, like I feel for the employees now because you just know there's gonna be layoffs. And the question is who's gonna be laid off? Somebody who's been there for a long time, you're gonna get laid off. It's just different. It's a different environment. What they're encouraging. Maybe what they used to discourage now they encourage. But it's it's just different. But I just remember, you know, my wife would be like, did you get a Christmas bonus? And I said, uh, yeah, I got two Dale Earnhardt DVDs.
Not one, that's my bonus there. They accidentally gave me two. Yes, Mark, I got a season on a break guys.
Yeah.
Stat of the Day brought to you by Panadi America, the official trading cards of the program. And it'll be soon when we tell you you can order jalapeno lime moonshine. And the early reviews say it is outstanding and it is all right. So hour two on the way. How many teams can't make the Super Bowl? I have my Super Bowl pick next hour, and I'm stressing about it just a little bit because I was locked in and then all of a sudden I wasn't. I was locked out, and then all of a sudden, I go, I'm going to write this down. And then I left yesterday afternoon and I put it under Paully's computer and I said, here it is in case something happens to me, and in case something happens to me this next hour, Paulie will still be able to give you my super Bowl pick, but we'll run through the teams that can't, in my opinion, get to the super Bowl. Eight seven seven three DP show email at u sdpat Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show Jamar Chase practice yesterday. I don't know if he plays against the Patriots. And Justin Herbert's foot is apparently one hundred percent Ravens Chiefs tonight. The pointspread hasn't changed. It's Kansas City is giving three. So if this was in Baltimore, Baltimore would probably be giving three to Kansas City. And Kansas City lost the season opener last year to the Detroit Lions, and we know how the season ended. All right, let me see a couple other things that I want to bring your way, including here they are, here's my prop best. These are for tonight over underpassing yards for Lamar Jackson two hundred and sixteen and a half. Patrick Mahomes over underpassing yards tonight, Marvin, what do you think it is according to DraftKings?
Eighty seven and a half.
Okay, Paul to sixty six and a half, Todd two fifty eight and a half, Seaton two thirty five and a half to sixty five and a half, sixty five and a hal half.
How about rushing yards with Derrick Henry.
Todd, I'm gonna say eighty you.
Can just say without without saying, just guess that's.
A good point saying some words. Eighty three and.
A half all r eight, Seaton ninety five and a half, Marvin seventy seven and a half.
Paul, I'm considering saying sixty seven and a.
Half, sixty three and a half free rushing yards there, Lamar Jackson rushing yards, Paul, hmm.
The number I'm thinking about is forty four and a half.
Marvin sixty seven and a half, eat nine and a half, God fifty seven and a half, forty nine and a half forty nine and a half.
What I meant to say forty.
Nine, Okay, I'm going to give you credit for that, then, uh. Travis, Kelcey receiving yards over under Paul.
Taylor Swift receiving yards.
Uh, you could just say the number Paul feen and a half Seaton fifty seven and a half. That's because you know love. You know somebody who's in love.
He love.
Yeah, Taylor's drawn up the plays herself.
Now, I didn't like that. Get them the ball now, I.
Think I don't know if Travis Kelcey admitted that Taylor is drawing up football plays. Can you guys check, because I thought that he did say that she was. Now, he did say she was the inspiration for him buying a race horse that I guess there's a I don't know if it's named something Taylor Swift or Swifty or something like that. But I thought that he acknowledged that she was helping draw it plays for him. I think that was the key. She was drawing up plays for him. Yes see?
Is it possible they were just having fun with those words. I don't really believe that Taylor Swift it's being covered like Taylor Swift is consulting with Andy Reid.
She's got a headset and a flip chart on like.
Their third down package. Like, I don't know that that's really what was going on there. I agree with you, but I don't know.
It feels like there's going to be this backlash with Taylor Swift with the NFL fans this year like there was last year.
But it feels like, oh my god, we're already starting with this.
Yes, Pa, the story got out there, everyone took it and put the headline Taylor Shift is actually drawing up plays for Andy Reid and the Chiefs. Travis Kelcey was on Rich Eisen instead. It's more like that she's learning about football this offseason. She's really delved into it and looked into it and wrote down like some ideas for fun, like she would write ideas for a tour stop. And she said that Rich that she wrote a couple of plays that were for me, Yeah, to have some fun.
Yeah, so it's true.
I don't think they were passed on to the offensive coordinator.
Yeah.
I don't know if after the game tonight and somebody says, wow, that was a crazy play and then Patrick Mahomes goes, yeah, give credit to.
Taylor Taylor Taylor Swift.
Yeah, it's more like one of those things like when they're struggling and they start out one and three, and there's gonna be a bunch of meatheads that are.
Like, see this.
They got Taylor Swift drawing up, they got.
Their focused Super Bowl hangover is.
Real, Like they're gonna have that whole thing and it's going to keep coming up over and over again. Like like Vince Young saying signing with the Eagles is like a dream team and somehow Michael Vick had to wear that. It's like, he's not the one that even said it, but what happened. I thought it was a dream team, Michael, and he didn't even say it.
And Kelsey edge, she's a little biased and creates plays just for me. We'll see if they can make it to Coach Read's office. But he doesn't believe they've gotten that far.
I know, I know.
So he's actually trying to push that there. He's actively trying to get his girlfriend's plays put into the playbook. Is that what I'm hearing, football, That's what I'm hearing right now. Right he's actively trying to have that done right now. He needs to have his focus on the season, not on her. By the way, Jerry Jones said that Mike McCarthy is in a lame duck year.
But did he say that.
I don't think he said those exact words.
Sometimes I think the author of the editor sometimes they get a little career.
There's a headline writer. Yeah, there's a headline writer.
And they have quotes around the words lame duck.
Yes, so it says Cowboys, Jerry Jones shares reason Mike McCarthy is in quote lame duck year.
And then I'm looking to see.
When we lost to the Green Bay game, we basically had everybody say, Okay, what are you going to do about this? Okay, this isn't just a game. What are you going to do about this? And so it got the attention of everything we do. According to Jerry Jones, is there something in there where he talks about him being a lame duck coach?
And I went through four different articles on this, and the other articles don't use the words quote lame duck. They just say they refer to it as a lame duck season. That's their reference. I cannot find any quote from Jerry Jones issue using the phrase lame duck about his coach.
I guess the other question is what's the difference between single quotes and double quotes. Double quotes might be the person actually said it. Single quotes could be the editor or who is putting the title together saying this is kind of paraphrasing, kind of the vibe of what are you're saying?
Well, that would be misleading.
Those are single quotes on the title. It's different than I don't.
Know if it's single or double quotes, but.
I think he's a new thing. I like this, doubtful Dan.
Well, all right, all right, here we go, run down.
Give me the AFC first teams that can't make the Super Bowl, The New England Patriots.
No, all right, I don't.
Anybody in the AFC North Ravens, Browns, Steelers, Bengals.
That can't make it. I'm gonna say. I mean, I would say the brown like the Browns should be. They were a playoff team last year. I'm gonna I'm gonna leave them in there. Yes, they can make the Super Bowl. Not everybody can in that division, but in you know, each team. If you say could the raven I'm gonna say the Steelers can't make the Super Bowl?
Can't?
Steelers are not making the super They're not gonna They don't even know who their quarterback.
Is at ten and seven last year with Kenny Pickett. Okay, okay, uh AFC South you have the Texans, Jaguars, Colts and Titans.
I'm gonna say the Titans can't. I'm gonna say the Colts can't.
That's it for that division.
Yeah, I think they're winning the division.
And that's where it ends.
A FC West Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos, Chargers.
Raiders can't, Broncos can't.
Chargers can't. Chargers can't. They could be a year away.
The NFC East you have Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Commanders.
The Giants can't.
The Commanders could win the division, which means you could make the Super Bowl.
Wow.
Well, I do like the Commanders and the Falcons way more than I should. But I'm going to say the Commanders cannot make the super Bowl.
You're so close to being on the van a wagon.
I know, I know, I'm on it. I'm on it. I just I gotta be realistic here.
The NFC North Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears.
The Vikings can't make the Super Bowl. Bears can't make the Super Bowl.
Where NFC South do you want to just say NFC South? The NFC South cannot make this as a group. Buccaneers, Saints, Falcons, Panthers. Can any of them? Can any of them make the Super Bowl.
I'm I'm high on the Falcons make it. I'll say it. Falcons can make this.
Supers, let's go.
I got it on tape.
It's gonna have a year.
Yeah.
Fifteen receiving yards, NFC West forty nine, Ers, Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals.
I'm going to say the Cardinals can't. The Rams and Niners can. I'm gonna say the Seahawks can't. But I do like I do like Seattle, I do. I don't love, but I do like bah I like the Rams a lot more. It gets weird. I've I've fallen in love with three NFC teams, Falcons, Commanders and the Rams. Okay, anybody else is at it?
That's the entire leason.
Yeah too. My super Bowl pick. Now, Paulie wants he knows that I'm on the verge of changing my super Bowl pick, and he wants to give me sort of a secondary super Bowl pick that we open up at the super Bowl the envelope.
I don't want that. I don't want them.
You're sticking with your pick.
I would rather. I got an hour. I got an hour to lock in on this.
What is it you're laboring on the AFC or NFC or both. The AFC, that's who you're having a hard the NFC you're locked in.
Yeah, now, part of me you you want to do something that's different.
You know, hey, let's take Kansas City in San Francisco. But you don't.
You don't want it. I mean, that's not any fun. But then you want to get your prediction right. So I'm going to wait till next hour and then uh, I'll lower the boom.
Yes, Tom, I respect that you don't want to do the second one. It's like the whole multiple brackets with the NC tournament. You were never for that. You know, you picked the one sheet and don't have I had that right in sheet number seven.
I had the upset.
Your backing doesn't make me feel.
Better that you're sticking with the one today or in general, No, just today.
I think it's in general.
No, yesterday we had we had a couple of bumps speed bumps there, but you were good today.
My sister's getting kissed by random strangers in the pole questers.
That's your fault. By the way.
You brought it up about kissing your sister.
I said, kissing a sister or kissing your sister. I don't mention specific. That would be your sister kissing one's sister.
Well, no, but you said your sister.
You said your sister. You were very specific about this.
I didn't realize I stepped another.
You don't have you know, high enough boots for all the stuff you say I do not, But.
Keep your head up. Okay, Well I could.
Do try to stay above water, and I don't know how to swim, so I don't know how long I can do that.
You don't know how to swim.
I can doggy paddle, I can stay afloat for a little while, but I ultimately drowned.
I would give a week's pay to watch to Todd doggy paddle.
How long do you.
Say I would give? I would give a pinky finger to have a permanent video of Todd doggy paddling.
Could you swim the length of an Olympic pool?
I'd say no to that. I would be comfortable trying if it's water that I can stand in. I am not comfortable being in.
Water that is swimming that's standing.
Yeah, I would just walk it to the Olympics.
So no, I'm just saying, could you swim fifty meters?
I don't think so. I think I can swim. I don't think I can swim fifty meters. I think I can do a little swimming and that ultimately I'll end up standing up right.
That would be great. Like, how far do you think before you drowned?
Not very far.
I'm a bit of a mouth breather. I'd sleep up in the air with the sea pap thing. Well you talk a lot of seapack, but still I.
Just look like scuba gear.
Yeah, just not comfortable in water above five.
Okay, Well, that's good to know. I'm finding things out. I did not know that. Just in case, you know, like we're going to be in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, We're going to be right there by the river.
If you fall in, then I know.
If we're on some canoe ride and the water was over five feet, I would at the very least I want to wear one of those jackets.
All right.

Caught up with Drew Brees yesterday after the show. We'll bring you that interview coming up here in a moment. Jason in North Carolina, Hi, Jas, what's on your mind today?
What's going what's going on?
DP?
What's going on? Fella's Happy Open Day? Six feet Affirm two hundred. I wanted to get your guys' opinion on something. Everyone's talking about Rock Purdy.
Possibly commanding you know, the big sixty mili number next year. And with all the high priced guys on the Niners squad at the moment, everyone's assuming that the team will get broken up, and this, that and the other. But I'm curious about what your guys' opinion on you know, I know, from an agent's perspective, you want to get your guy the most money.
He could possibly get. But if I'm Rock Party sitting here going to be I guess twenty four and I'm looking at Trent Williams, I'm looking at George Kittle, I'm looking at you know, CMC Debo. I'm looking at these older players, Fred Warner, still playing at the top of their game. Why wouldn't I, you know, work out, assuming that I'm going to play a long time in my career, take a little bit less up front, keep these guys around, try to win more, and then you know, you know, if he.
Does that, I know the Bay Area will love him forever and all the kind of love and money will come to him in time and success and whatnot.
Well, I look at what Jalen Brunson did with the Knicks, And that was one where you're trying to wrap your head around it that he left one hundred million dollars on the table. But I think he delayed the hundred million. He wants to build a championship roster. That's what great players do. You become greater because you win championships. I don't want to tell brock Perty not to take more money or take his take the max, but I do think there has to be sort of a should he be the highest paid quarterback.
In the league. No, but he's probably going to be.
Dak Prescott shouldn't be the highest paid quarterback, but he probably is. That's why I love what Baker Mayfield did with Tampa Bay. They found common ground that Baker is not a fifty million dollar guy, you know, so you find, you know, like a good landing spot that you get paid and you get a chance to still have a good roster around you because you can get paid, and if you don't have a roster, you're gonna have your life is going to be miserable, except for you know, every two weeks when you get paid. But is rock Perty going to get sixty million? He probably is now. And even like the numbers are great. He takes advantage of the weapons he has, which is what you want your quarterback to do. Is he going to Could he turn around the Patriots? The answer is no. But is he great for the Niners?
Yes?
He is.
Drew Brees won a Super Bowl, a Super Bowl MVP, And we caught up with him yesterday and he's in California. And I asked him where he was when he joined us.
Honestly, I sat her and I said, I'm going on with DP today. I've done this a bunch of times with you. I know you've been to a lot of interesting places. Super Bowls, you know, studio setups. Have you ever done one on the beach in southern californ.
No, I haven't, but so it looks good. I mean, anybody recognized you on the beach.
Uh, it's a little hazy out of paper walking their dogs. We got some surfers out here. Let's check them out, you know. Okay, Cardiff, Cardiff, California. This this is a good This is the river mouth right here. That's a good little surf spot. We got some we got some decent swell today.
Okay, we're gonna play the Drew Brees How many Pro Bowls did he actually take a snap in? I think you were in thirteen Pro Bowls. That sound about res yes, sir, Okay. How many snaps did Drew Brees take? How many Pro Bowls did he take a snap in? Paul, don't go to you.
Drew is a really competitive guy. He probably bailed out a few because of an air quote's injury. I'm gonna go eleven, eleven, Marvin, I'm gonna go nine.
Todd, I'm gonna say eight.
I'm gonna say twelve.
Drew uh Man, I got to pick back on this. I think I did not play in two, so it would be then I took snaps in eleven.
Okay, that's pretty pretty impressive.
One was one was one was oh nine when we went to the super Bowl because they did this well, that was the first show they did, the fire to the super Bowl. And then after the eighteen season.
I did not play in that one and there was hitting back then, so I.
Just located my left EBow in the seven No. O six Pro Bot after the O six season. Oh boy, that was Treel Suggs.
Yeah, he got a little aggressive.
And I've talked about this a couple of times.
Brady came out and said, it's a tragedy that these quarterbacks are coming in and starting right away and they have to dumb down the offense. And I disagree because they're coming in older. A lot of them have played at a couple of different schools. All your recent Heisman Trophy winners have played at a couple of schools. You're coming in it feels like you already got money from NIL, so you've you've been a professional before being a professional. So I don't I don't look at it the way it was when Tom came in. I think it's different. Your thoughts.
Well, Look, first off, I think the NIL and transfer portal thing is a bit of a disaster. I don't think it's giving kids the opportunity to truly develop the way that they normally would. I think too often guys are in situations where if they don't get what they want, if they're getting coached too hard, or if they face a little bit of adversity, they just jump ship. I don't think that's the message that we want to send to young people, especially our future leaders. I think, look, there's no better example than the game we just saw on Sunday, against LSU and USC. Right, you got Milan Moss and was Garrick Nusmeyer right? Two guys who have had to sit for a couple of years at USC and LSU respectively, very easily could have transferred out. Others did, right, and it bounced around quite a bit. Those guys chose to stuck it out, stick it out, sat behind a couple of Heisman winners playing for some great coaches in some great systems. And then I thought, those two guys played phenomenal the other night, and I think, honestly, they're both gonna have really, really good seasons. And I would venture to guess if you sat there and talked to them that they would give a lot of credit to the fact that they stuck it out and they kind of weathered the storm, so to speak, and they kind of bided their time and waited for their opportunity, and now they're taking full advantage of it. I think it gives you a lot of gratitude. You know, you appreciate it more when you have to go through some of those tough times. So I again, I think that's part of the formula too. Look, you know, there was all this speculation about you know arch Manning, right, if he didn't start right away, does he end up transferring that? I think the best thing for arch Manning is to stay right where he is. Yours, Yours is the guy. Yours is going to have a great season. They're going to be national championship contenders this year. And then arch Manning because you're going to get his opportunity as a third year player, and guess what, he's going to be ready, Right. So, I hope that guys are watching and learning from some of the examples that are being set by some of these other guys.
What would Patrick Mahomes have to do to, in your mind, be better than Tom Brady?
Well, look, you got to look at the body of work, man, body of work to Tom Brady? Right, twenty three NFL seasons, I don't know how many AFC Championship games, but ten Super Bowl appearance's seven Super Bowl wins, right period, Stop into discussion, right. So, and the consistency I think, year in and year out, right, I mean, what the Chiefs and what Patrick Mahomes are accomplishing is remarkable. There really is. I mean, I think they're a better team on paper right now than they were last year. And the year before. Right, So as they go for an unprecedented third championship run, I think we're all sitting back saying, man, I can't wait to watch it happen. Right, And would that put him in a whole new stratosphere. Yes, from the perspective of three in a row, it's never been done before. But to me, you still have to put together the body of work. The body of work to do it for twenty three NFL seasons like Brady did. Is remarkable.
When you guys, after you'd won your title, trying to repeat the following season, what was the biggest obstacle?
I mean, look, expectation, right. The way I always felt like with expectations was there's no expectation that can be put on us from the outset that is greater than the expectation we have for ourselves.
Right.
And if you approach every day like you always have something to prove and you are only as good as your next performance, then you're not worried about the noise from the outside. You just focus on each and every day. How can I get better? How can I be the best leader I can be? How can I get the best out of my teammates and you expect adversity. I think you have to expect challenges and expect adversity and you embrace it. You embrace it as an opportunity to get better. Like I kind of get worried if things were too good, you know what I'm saying, Like you're just kind of waiting for the shoot to drop. It's not that you're pessimistic, but it's like, man, we have to be prepared for the challenges and know how to overcome that adversity and recognize that's going to help us get to where we want to go, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to get there.
What's your Super Bowl pick?
Well, let's let's first just take Let's just take the two may be the favorite, right, So you've got a C on one side, you probably have the Niners on the other. Right, I think I think Philly is going to make another run at it. Right they have their they have their Super Bowl you know storybooks season, lose to the Chiefs in a close game and then they kind of have that that downward you know, super Bowl hangover year, and so they're going to come back with a vengeance. I'm sure. So they're going to be a contender. Look, man, uh, I love C. J. Stroud and Demiko Ran and that Texans team. Man, I think they're building something. At some point, Lamar Jackson is going to be and tired of hearing about the Chiefs. I'm sure he already is right, but he can't make a statement, right. So that's kind of the AFT picture, the NFC picture, and he was gonna knock off the Niners, right, I don't know, it's uh. I think they're certainly the favorite. I think they still have all the pieces in place. I think they're sick and tired of getting to the big game and not quite being able to get it. I'm sure they'd love another crack of the Chiefs. There are times in Charm.
Tell us what you're doing with Sports Illustrated tickets.

Good to talk to you. Enjoy the season, Thanks for joining us. As always, you got to be peek.
Thanks man.
It's former Saints quarterback future Hall of Famer Drew Breese joining us from the coastline out there right. Update the poll results if you can seat O'Connor, because coming up the twenty twenty four Legacy boost game, which legacy can be boosted the most with a Super Bowl win this year?
Give us an update.
Let's see right now, Dan, We've got favorite sports day. NCAA tournament. The first day of the NCAA tournament is running away with it. I'm surprised that the NFL opening days be Super Bowl Sunday. Is that recency bias?
I think it's the newness of it, because if you don't like the teams in the Super Bowl or your team didn't get there, then you'll watch because it's it'll be socially acceptable that, Hey, everybody's watching the super Bowl opening night. That means your team is undefeated and you got a chance, you got hope. Up with Hope, down with dope. All Right, we'll take a break. The Legacy Boost Game coming up after this.
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
NFL kicking off the season tonight, it's Ravens Chiefs. That's NBC and Peacock. Then on Friday live from Brazil, Packers Eagles only on Peacock. All Right, time to play the twenty twenty four Legacy Boost Game. I think the first year we did this, the player we picked out who could have used a super Bowl win more than anybody else. Was Tony Romo. He had six really good seasons, but we were waiting to see if he was going to be a fellow Cowboy super Bowl winning quarterback. And that was what eight years ago, ten, ten years ago, the Legacy Boost game.
All Right, we'll go around the room.
The player who could benefit the most from winning a Super Bowl?
Todd, I'm going to start with you.
I'm going to go Josh Allen reaching and winning the super Bowl after the four years in a row with Jim Kelly's group not winning one.
That would be big for the city in for him.
Okay, see no, Connor, Well, this one's pretty obvious to me, but I just can't when I'm looking at the list of quarterbacks, I have to start. This is the dude to me that needs one the most. That's Lamar Jackson. He absolutely needs one. And even still should he get one, it feels like so well it's only one, you know, he hit the standard I think that he's being held to is incredibly high. He needs to get one for sure.
Okay, Marvin Joe Burrow, I think if he can win a super Bowl for the Cincinnati Bengals, that'd be huge.
Okay, They've come up short three different times in the Super Bowl, but played three competitive super Bowls with three different quarterbacks. He had Boomer Sizon, Kenny Anderson, and Joe Burrow. I believe Paulie the Boost legacy boost, career changing, legacy changing. Jared Goff of the Lions, he has had a really good career, probably better than people realize. Stat wise, he's been to a super Bowl. He's been to two NFC title games. If he won a super Bowl for Detroit, which is a different level, he could become kind of a Kurt Warner type lost one one one and with his stats and the Lions rolling, he could sneak into a Hall of Fame off one super Bowl win. Okay, he's been to a super Bowl. They didn't do well in that super Bowl, but he has been there before.
Let's see.
I would say Lamar Jackson just because he's got two MVPs and like Peyton Manning, had all those MVPs, but he didn't have a super Bowl. Then he won one super Bowl, that second Super Bowl, which granted he didn't play well, he was kind of dragged to a super Bowl win by that defense. I'm gonna say Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers win a super Bowl with the Jets after everything.
That's happened, A seven and ten Jets, Wow, you know, I mean they they they haven't had a winning season or a season above five hundred and a long time. Yeah, So you're taking the team that went what I think seven and ten?
Yeah, they won seven games, yep, but.
After you know, groundbreaking surgery to repair a torn achilles that no one's ever heard of. That would be a hell of a win.
Yeah.
I mean you talk about a legacy boost, and I think his legacy there's Mahomes, isn't their legacy boost? Now he won another super Bowl? Now all of a sudden, there's no doubt about Okay, he is the second greatest quarterback of all time, and he's really on the doorstep here because of his age. I think he turns twenty nine coming up this season, if that sounds right, twenty eight twenty I think it's twenty nine. But I would say legacy boost Aaron Rodgers to win with the Jets. That would be the biggest legacy boost out of everybody.
Yeah, seton and any chance we could do a couple of leftovers yeah, sure with this. There's a lot of good quarterbacks on this, so a bonus legacy boost. Go ahead, I've got two for you, all right. What about a Kirk Cousins.
Oh definitely.
It feels like he would be taken more seriously or something as as a legit quarterback.
As long as he had good numbers in the Super Bowl, right because if he didn't, then it would be Now nobody's where Trent Dilfer is when we go, well, anybody can win a super Bowl. Trent Dilfer did, which isn't true, but Trent, you know, got dragged along by that defense. There is just something about being able to say you can win a super Bowl with this player.
Okay, you know who's the other one.
The other one for me would be Russell Wilson.
Oyoh okay, I'm going to give that one to you.
I think Russ that's a fellow right there. If he got another one with a different team, that for.
Sure, Boy, that'd wipe away a couple of bad years here, and it would wipe away all of the So we had all that good will and then he had ill will, and then all of a sudden he'd be back.
Yes, Todd Where does.
Dak Prescott go with a Super Bowl win?
That's big? Two? Yeah, I would. I would put Dak right in there with Russell Wilson.
And those are quarterbacks too that are like if you're tearing them all out, they're in like the fourth or fifth tier of the Yeah.
Right, those are all good suggestions.
Which coach could benefit the most legacy boost game? I'll give you mine after the break. No, No, Kyle Shanahan. You had the offensive coordinator situation with the Patriots and the Falcons, and then he's come close here a couple of times offensive genius, no super Bowl win, So I'd say Kyle Shanahan.
Any other coach Paulie.
Jim Harbaugh instantly goes down as one of the great coaches in sports history with a Super Bowl win all sports.
Yes, Tom, he's already held in high.
Regard, But how much higher if McCarthy pulls it off with the Dallas.
That would be That would be huge if McCarthy in a lame duck year wins the Super Bowl and no guarantee that he would be back.
With Dallas next year, knowing Jerry, Yes, Marvin, I.
Got Nick Sirianni after the way last season ended for him to come back and win Super Bowl with the Eagles.
See and do you have a coach?
Uh?
You know what, I don't think we should sleep on Mike McDonald. No, I'm kidding. I was gonna say McCarthy. I also thought of Sean McVeigh. He's won one, he lost one, but to win another one now, all of a sudden, you become a Hall of Famer.
Yes, Don Mike.
Tom and obviously also like mcarthy, held in very high red rodin he takes this Russell Wilson justin fields thing and barely getting over five hundreds to a Super Bowl.
The lowest rated quarterback passer rating to win a Super Bowl Ben Roethlisberger. He was nine for twenty one. Passer rating was twenty two.
Wow.
John Elway in ninety seven he was twelve to twenty two one hundred and twenty three yard words. They ended up winning. He threw an interception. I don't think he threw a passing touchdown. Peyton Manning twenty fifteen, he was thirteen to twenty three for one forty one fifty six passer rating. Johnny Unite is nineteen seventy three for nine and ended up throwing.
A touchdown pass with the Colts.
Tom Brady in twenty eighteen twenty thirty five had a touchdown.
No, he did not have a touchdown pass.
Nineteen eighty two Joe Thaisman, let's see, threw two touchdowns through two interceptions.
They ended up winning.
Troy Aikman is in there. Yeah, that was nineteen ninety three. Quarterback rating is seventy seven. Patrick Mahomes twenty nineteen, Brad Johnson two thousand and two. These are all passer ratings under eighty.
Dilfer, so you can look at numbers.
Trent Dilfer is not the worst quarterback in a win. As far as passer rating, Dilfer was twelve to twenty five and had one passing touchdown. Peyton Manning also on the list in six and then Joe Namath in nineteen sixty eight. Coming up next hour, my Super Bowl pick
