At a bare minimum, the Giants need a bridging in need.

0:02.9

Yeah.

0:03.4

So you want him to be great and to be the franchise quarterback and lead him to the postseason and win multiple playoff games and pretend perhaps even getting a chance to win a Super Bowl. But if he was Andy Dalton, you'd take it. Right. I'm seeing a bunch of fun years, a bunch of playoffs, but I'll know when the time is right to move on a jerk. That is such a cop-out answer because he basically said, yeah, because the guy who replaces

0:24.4

him is going to be great. But hold on. What he said was he stabilized a bad franchise.

0:30.1

A hundred percent he did. I mean, he was, I love that comparison, even though I think it's very

0:35.6

loaded, because I can proudly say Andy Dalton

0:38.9

was very underrated. I mean, Andy Dalton was a pro bowler. Andy Dalton won nine, ten games

0:44.7

basically every year. And the problem was come postseason time, they fell flat on their face.

0:49.3

But you got to get there. And they got there basically every single year. And then he's

0:53.6

bounced around the league. And now you think of him just as a journeyman that's floating around. But yeah, I think for the first seven years of Andy Dalton's career, that was pretty good. But most people don't view it that way. They view him as a joke. They view the Bengals as a joke. I don't know if I view Andy Dalton as a joke. I think I... You may not, but I think others have. I view him as a good player who just

1:13.9

hit a ceiling. That's how I'd look at it. So I'd look at Marvin Lewis, too. I mean, I really like Marvin Lewis. And I think he's a really good coach, but he just, he had a ceiling. He just could never get over. And I think right now with where the giants are, we would take that ceiling. Because when we get to the point of being sick and tired of losing in the first round of the playoffs,

1:31.5

that's a big, big step over where we are right now. That's a problem you can, you'll learn to deal with and learn to like hate in a way. In today's context of the Giants, you'll take it a hundred out of 100. Tommy, would you take Andy Dalton

1:44.3

to Andy Dalton's career out of Jackson? Absolutely not. I think we're setting the bar way too low. So what's the bar? I want a Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson quarterback to watch. But he might not be that. But I need that on Sundays because as a fan, he's not that. Well, then it's mediocrity and we're just sitting here.

2:01.1

Like, I want to have a chance to want a Super Bowl.

2:02.9

It's above mediocrity.

2:03.8

It's not that. Well, then it's mediocrity and we're just sitting here.

2:01.1

Like, I want to have a chance to want a super bowl.

2:02.6

It's above mediocrity.

2:03.8

It's above average.

2:04.8

Let me get, all right, you know what?

2:06.1

Let's meet the middle.

I'll give you a name.
