| 0:00.0 | So I'm looking at this story and the headline reads, Jalen Hertz, underappreciated NFL quarterback, the quiet Superman. |
| 0:09.3 | It's interesting. I was reading this thing the other day. It was in the athletic. |
| 0:13.4 | And the story was they surveyed 31 anonymous NFL executives and coaches, and they asked a multitude of questions |
| 0:24.3 | relating to NFL players and teams and stuff. |
| 0:28.3 | Like, for instance, one of the questions was, which team is not going to live up to expectations |
| 0:32.7 | this year? |
| 0:33.4 | And, like, the number one was the Detroit Lions, you know, and then number two was the Redskins or the commander skins and all that. |
| 0:41.2 | And there were a lot of questions about players. |
| 0:43.3 | Like who do you think is the best offensive player in the league non-quarterback? |
| 0:47.3 | And it's, well, there's Sequin Barclay. |
| 0:48.9 | And oh, there's Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson and those kind of questions. |
| 0:52.5 | And one of the questions was, if you were to start a franchise with one quarterback right now, |

| 1:09.2 | Josh Allen cannot get past Patrick Mahomes |
| 1:12.0 | in the playoffs, has never been to the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes won three of them, and he's |
| 1:16.3 | been to others, yet we're like, eh, we'll take Josh Allen over Pat Mahomes. Pat Mahomes is number |
| 1:21.6 | two, and number three is Joe Burrow. I don't know how far down that list went. I only |
| 1:25.9 | saw the top three, but that's kind of the consensus. When you ask people who you'd start a team with, and then you'd start working your way down and you'd get guys like Justin Herbert, probably, if I had to guess. He'd probably be a very popular name if you're trying to start a team today. You'd get guys like that. You'd probably get a Jaden Daniels after the big first year he |
| 1:45.9 | had. Like, you'll get a lot of those kind of guys. And you never see Jalen Hertz on these kind of |
| 1:52.0 | lists. Like, his story is fascinating. Let's actually get into that a little bit. We will do that |
