Mr. Mayor, not in a situation where you have a really good team around him.

Mr. Mayor says if the team does the most boring thing possible and gets car, cousins, or

Gino, then I would at least like Anthony Richardson in the background fighting with JJ

to see which of the losers can turn

into something. Yeah, I mean, look, the idea of Anthony Richardson is kind of interesting to me only as a

development type player. It would not be as a legitimate option. It would be, hey, bring the guy in and see if you

can develop him over a year. If you like what you see, maybe sign him as your backup and

maybe someday he becomes something. Or, heck, if you ended up with Anthony Richardson and

Derek Carr, maybe you're having that competition for who the future quarterback is.

Once again, I have said, I'm not washing out the idea McCarthy could be good.

I'm only saying from the team's perspective, how can you ask them to rely on this person as you're starting quarterback with no competition or with no with no other in the scenario

that you're in you're going to say someone who has been three times by NFL executives

called a top 15 quarterback you're going to say you know what no no I'd rather have what's

behind I'd rather have a guy who had one of the worst

quarterback ratings in the league who had as many sacks this year as Sam Darnold did and

played 10 games more like not 10 games, 243 passes. No, I'd rather have that. I mean, that's

fine if you feel that way because I know in Minnesota they never never ever ever give up on

prospects. Miguel Sinoe certainly taught us that no matter how long it goes.

Those just never give up someday he could make it.

But the team can't act that way when they have Justin Jefferson on the team and Darisaw,

O'Neill, a lot of money invested in the defense.

Brian Flores came back.
