The Around the NFL Podcast is now entering the gathered zone.

Welcome back to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast presented by

Headed Shoulders. My name is Dan Hansis and I am joined by room filled with some

heroes. Mark Selser on my left. Greg Rosen on my right. What's up boys? How are you?

Hey now.

Uh, okay. No West today. Fortunately, um, he's, uh, hopefully going to be back with us this weekend.

Um, we hope we, we have him because this is the divisional round plan. First of all, we all know what this is.

This is the Crucible.

The Crucible.

I'm going to see you in and I said, Greg, don't think I missed your nice, uh, Crucible ref.

Oh, yeah. A little quarterback. Through that in there. Yeah. Greg wrote a nice quarterback piece.

Uh, scandalous quarterback piece on which playoff quarterback he trusted the most. And, uh, here's little tease.

It wasn't Tom Brady. Um, but you dropped a Crucible in there. So shout out to Greg. Yeah. Wait. How scandalous.

I got a lot of feedback. You know, how crazy to rank three different Hall of Fame quarterbacks in a certain order that people don't like.

Well, only ones in the group. Well, where did he play? Swared at Tom Brady. Tom Brady was second and breezes third and Ryan's fourth.

Ben Rothlessberger was first. He's been playing the best right now. Well, get to all. You can't sell the piece at Brady's number one.

That's what right. Well, I don't know who's going to read it at Brady's number one. That's the school. I don't think that's ridiculous.

That's what I got a lot of that. It's like, ooh, you're trying to like sit. That's like, sorry. It's like, sorry.

I don't have the exact same opinion as everyone else. First of all, it's not that crazy to say that Ben Rothlessberger's playing at a much higher level over the last seven or eight weeks.

And that's basically what I care about. Um, the cynical viewpoint, which I think you were alluded to mark was why write this piece if I just had Tom Brady. I was signed this.

That's not Greg's take. That's not Greg's way. But what is Greg's way is because he knows what's probably going to happen next week. It's going to be the big rematch.

And Greg does everything in his power internally. And sometimes it comes out externally to create a scenario like how the Patriots figure it out this time.
