It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the BetRivers Network.

Hello again, everybody. Welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the BetRivers Network on this wildcard weekend as we welcome in the greatest undrafted player in the history of the National Football League.

And one of my favorites, Kurt Warner, who you see all the time on the NFL network and hear him on the games. Hall of Famer, two-time MVP, Super Bowl MVP, the legendary story. If you've never seen America on the dog, please watch it. You will love it. I could watch it twice on Sunday. And we welcome Kurt in now. And Kurt, welcome. Nice to talk to you. How's everything? Everything is great. It's good to talk to you, Mike. I'm excited about the postseason and seeing how this thing plays out. You know, it's funny. Here's what when I thought of you. I said, the other morning I'm starting to look at the wild card games in my office and I said look at the quarterbacks

this year no Mahomes no burrows no Lamar yeah you got Josh who's number one you got staff who's

going to win the MVP number two but how try to rank these guys and I'm sitting there and I can't

rank them I'm trying to rank and I said you know what I'm going to get Kurt one who I think, folks, is the best quarterback analyst there is in terms of technique, in terms of what it takes to play the position, in terms of all the intangibles.

We don't scout it right. Even guys who are gurus get it wrong because you can't see inside

these guys. You don't know what's going to make them special. Now, you've been there. You've

traveled those roads. You can almost rank these guys from three to 14 in almost any order.

You know, people have been down on this guy. They've been down on Trevor Lawrence.

They've been down on Young. They've been down on Herbage. Go down the list. How about the range,

as you look at it, as someone who sees it better than anybody. How about the quarterback play from especially

past Stafford through May and Hertz all the way down the line this weekend? Well, I think the

biggest thing is that, first of all, a lot of these guys are so young. And so I'm a guy that

always likes to reserve ranking these guys or deciding who they're

going to be until they've been in the league for a few years. And so, you know, we've got guys like

May and Nix and, you know, those guys and Caleb Williams, you know, guys that have been in the

league for a couple years that we've seen some really good things from them. But I'm not ready to rank them. I mean, you know, guys that have been in the league for a couple years, that we've seen some

really good things from them. But I'm not ready to rank them. I mean, you know, you could look at

Jaden Daniels last year. It was unbelievable. Or C.J. Straff is rookie year incredible. And then the

second year, they take a step back. And so to me, I always feel like you need at least three years to get

an idea of who a player is. And so I think
