Rolling along Thursday edition, Quaring Company here on The Fan.

Again, coming up, big show lined up for you.

We will talk a little Notre Dame football.

Tom Noy joining us about 30 minutes from now. But joining me now on the always busy and available again to be sponsored guest line. Booker McFarlane is, of course, a football analyst with ESPN. and I have always said, as a matter of fact, when I have done interviews with them in the past, I've always said, I think was the final piece towards getting the Colts a Super Bowl title because when he went in there on that defensive line, everything changed. Everything changed when Buger McFarland became a cult. But he joins us now to talk a little football, including the Colts, I would assume. Bugger, how are you? Doing well, man. How are you doing? We are good. Look, it's the time of year where, like, it's not Hope Springs Eternal. I guess it's Fall Springs Eternal, but every team feels good about themselves at this point, right? And we could talk with you both professionally and collegiately, but let's begin with the NFL and your old team,

the Colts, since we are in Indianapolis. Obviously, Daniel Jones is the quarterback they're going

with. My first question for you would be this. In your time in the league and just being around

teams, when you look at Anthony Richardson, who is still a young player and a young player who

stall or cease the relationship with the franchise that originally brought him in and it would

be a change of scenery that's necessary? Well, I mean, that's a very nuanced question there.

And it would depend on a lot of factors. I think everything depends on the individual.

And let's just use it specifically to Anthony Richardson. I don't know him. I just look at him from

the outside. He seems like a very thoughtful guy. I think, you know, based on what's happened,

if he understands the facts, and that is that he was a quarterback that came out of University of Florida

who needed to play to get better. And he hasn't really. the facts, and that is that he was a quarterback that came out of University of Florida,

who needed to play to get better.

And he hasn't really played a lot because he's been hurt.

And because of those injuries, his development has been slowed,

which has created a little bit of impatience, which allowed Indy to bring in another quarterback to create a competition

because the coach and the GM need to win.
