Summary

The hour kicks off with strong reactions to Aaron Glenn’s stunning claim that Geno Smith could lead the Jets to the “promised land,” setting off immediate frustration and skepticism. The conversation digs into what that statement says about the team’s direction and whether there is any real foundation behind the optimism or if it is just empty offseason talk. From there, the focus shifts to a heated debate about bringing in Anthony Richardson as a backup option, with sharp disagreement over his potential, work ethic, and whether the Jets can afford to take that kind of gamble. The discussion highlights the broader uncertainty around the quarterback room and whether the team should prioritize upside or stability as they try to reshape their future.

0:00.0	You heard from John Harbaugh and you heard from Darren Mucci. Today, you're hearing from Aaron Glenn.
0:05.6	And there's a few things that jumped out at me, a few things that made my brain start to work.
0:10.5	I put a couple of things together.
0:12.5	And I believe that Tiki Barber is going to come around on something that in the past he's disagreed with me.
0:18.9	Okay. Okay. I want to start off by playing.
0:22.8	Can you please, Sean Paul, Darren Mugi number three?
0:27.2	Because in this little conversation, Darren, the GM of the New York football Jets,
0:31.9	Darrell, Mr. Smiles Muji, was asked about adding another quarterback to the room.
0:37.0	Because currently Gino Smith is here, but they've got Brady Cook and the other guy. I already forgot who it is. Yeah, we feel good about the quarterback room, but could potentially add another guy to the room before the draft. We'll see where that goes. But we'll monitor that quarterback market and, yeah, to see where we're in. So he's open to adding another quarterback to the room. Okay? Bailey Zappy. Which makes sense. Bailey, I forget. Bottom line is Bailey and Brady Cook will not be the backup, the Gino Smith. No. So they're open to adding a vet. Before we get to the draft, because I think that doesn't have to be connected
1:10.9	to what I'm about to say. Yeah. And if they don't take Ty Simpson, they're likely to take
1:15.8	somebody else who falls. Right. They'll probably take a young quarterback. I don't think that
1:20.7	young quarterback necessarily needs to be the backup. Like he could be the third string quarterback
1:24.7	at the Giants planned with Jackson Dart. So I continue to think that the perfect guy they should add,
1:31.4	especially since they've already told you,
1:33.5	Gino's the guy,
1:34.7	means you can bring a little project in.
1:36.8	You can bring someone in who's not even going to compete for the quarterback job
1:40.7	as much as I would want to.
1:42.1	And yesterday, there was conversations about this guy because this guy asked for a trade.
1:46.6	And the guy I'm talking about is yes, Anthony Richardson.
1:50.6	Don't you think, and I know you're down on him and you didn't like him when I put him
1:54.7	atop my Jets quarterback big board.
