0:00.0	This, hey, how you doing?
0:02.4	What you doing? Hey, how you doing?
0:03.3	Hey, how you doing? Is Felger and Matt? What? On 985. Unbelievable. The sports hub. Mass, you want Johnny Manzell on the Patriots or not? Sure, why not? Yeah, I'm in. I'm in. I mean, again, what's to lose here? What's to lose? You get a guy who's got talent. He's a complete knucklehead.
0:23.3	Okay, no two ways about that. what's to lose here? What's to lose? You get a guy who's got talent. He's a complete knucklehead.
0:23.3	Okay? No two ways about that. But this is precisely the guy you take a shot on, particularly that
0:28.9	position. Maybe Bill Belichick gets through to him, or maybe it's McDaniels. Now I have a sort of a
0:34.6	corollary on that that I'll get to in a minute.
0:39.1	But you need a quarterback.
0:40.4	Roll the dice.
0:41.0	Bring him in.
0:42.1	Hell, you brought Tebow in. This guy's better than Tebow.
0:43.6	He certainly throws better.
0:45.5	Give it a shot.
0:46.4	What's the harm?
0:47.3	If it doesn't work, you cut his ass and you're done with him.
0:50.0	Oh, yeah, I've been in on him since day one, and I've been waiting to be right about the guy now going on six years.
0:55.2	I know he's a knucklehead, but the talent is there, and if you can get him as cheap as you're going to be able to get him, why not? Now, I don't ever expect him to be the starting quarterback of this team, maybe. I mean, a few years if you hang on to him and you build him into what he can potentially be, he can be a stopgap if you draft someone else in the next couple of years
1:09.7	to keep you competitive after Brady retires for a couple of seasons.
1:13.4	But he's a better backup option to me than Brian Hoyer. All right, that's not why I bring him in. I don't bring him in to be a backup. I bring him in to try to hit the mother load. Exactly. Like to me, you know, give it a shot. Give it a shot. Maybe you strike gold. Yeah, but it'd be a backup in the meantime while you're grooming them.
1:28.0	Yeah, no, no, no, exactly.
1:29.0	And I'm not saying that I, you know, if I were to bring in a guy like Mansell Murray, what I'm saying is he'd have to be your third quarterback. And now you're trying to groom him and, you know, bring them along. But that's not the story. We're not wasting time on the show on backup quarterbacks.
1:42.6	We're talking about finding the next guy.
