It's Beyond the Boxcore.

0:10.5

I'm Dan Schneier, joined as always by Jacob Gibbs.

0:13.0

And today I woke up to an amazing morning to see 15,000 views on our YouTube running back rankings yesterday. Thank you all so much for joining us

0:22.9

for that show if you joined it live or after. Thank you to those you came back today as we

0:27.5

break down quarterbacks and tight ends. You can check out a lot of great content on this channel.

0:32.0

I want to start there. We've done fantasy football cheat codes, breakout and bus picks,

0:35.8

draft guides for picking from any spot in the

0:38.0

order. We've got more content coming this summer. And today on this show, we're not only doing

0:42.8

quarterback and tight in rankings. We're doing some auction salary cap draft content that you all

0:47.5

have been asking for. And I think I've found a fun way to go over it that can hopefully be

0:51.9

applicable for everyone. And finally, we are answering

0:55.2

listener questions. Now, there was some controversy yesterday, Jacob, about my thoughts on three-star

1:00.6

reviews versus five-star reviews, and I stand by them. Look, I was not trying to be a mean

1:06.8

guy. I was trying to say it in jest and having fun with it. And I am mostly joking. Listen, we're looking for five-star reviews for the point of it helps the show grow. And to be quite frank, three-star reviews don't help the show grow. They go in the opposite direction. And we are going to be answering a ton of listener questions today, but we've gotten over a hundred questions. So quite frankly and quite obviously in my mind, Jacob, I will be answering, we will be answering the five-star questions first. And that's just how it's going to go. But how are you doing today, my friend? And I'm going to start to show with the same question. I asked you yesterday, what was my most egregious quarterback and tight-end ranking? I'm going to go Drake May again. You've betrayed the brand. I think you had Drake me outside of your top 12 qubies and I just can't get down with that. And to anyone who's new to be on the box score, welcome. Dan likes to alienate the audience right away by getting on their butts about the No, no, don't go in that direction. I was joking. I joking i'm joking i'm joking i'm a nice guy

2:03.9

but i would like a bite of that burger but i'm joking i'm joking but um but yeah i'm excited and i'm

2:09.9

excited to defend why i have may outside my top 12 and as disrespectful as it may be to the brand

2:16.6

this may not be well let we'll get into it we'll get into all that, Jacob. Before we do that, I did want to thank all the listeners and ask one more time, if you can help us to build this show out. We need your help. It means simply put, just hitting the like button. Every time you watch a video, if you do enjoy this, click like. It really helps us a lot. Also, there's been a new thing on YouTube that you can kind of boost the video after the video.

2:37.5

I forgot what it's called now, but look for that after the show, give that a boost. And then please leave a comment. The comments really help. And then finally, leave a five-star rating and review on iTunes or Spotify. And if you ask a question there, we will get to all of the

2:51.7

questions. We're going to get to a bunch today, but we're going to get to more as the season rolls on. So if you leave a five-star rating and review, or leave any star, any star you want, just know the five stars are going to be read first. But today, Jacob, we're talking Cubies to start this thing off. And back in June, we did a three-hour show, the longest stream of my

3:10.2

entire life. And I talked to Nick about that, the host of my, the co-host of my Giants podcast. And he said, I think we did three hours once. I looked back. It was never three. It was 245. But it was fun. We were breaking down real-life quarterback. We were perfectly aligned on those one-two-seven. And just, we're perfectly aligned on our fantasy rankings today, one-through-seven, but things get interesting after that, Jacob. So I'm excited to talk about quarterback rankings with you. And before we do that, I wanted to let you, the listeners, know that you can see all, you can listen to all of our content on the Fannie's Football Today podcast feed, the beyond the box feed look for the green logo you can see all you can listen to all of our content on the fanies football today podcast feed the beyond the box score feed look for the green logo you
