This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me today.

It's my friend Lindsay Jones. Lindsay, how are you? I am great, Robert. I am excited for this podcast today. I'm in a good mood. I really enjoy the Mailbag podcast. That's what we're doing today. I sincerely appreciate how much thought everyone and how much effort everyone puts into these questions. I feel bad not being able to get to all of them. I'm going to try to answer as many of them separately as I can. And it'll probably happen after the Super Bowl because it's a very busy week here. But I am going to put it in a good faith effort because I really do appreciate everyone sending them along. Speaking of the Super Bowl, we got a lot of Super Bowl questions. We're not answering any of them. There's way too long before the game. We're going to have a podcast literally every single day next week. We're still figuring out the schedule and the lineup for the guests, but we're going to have one Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So we're going to have a ton of time and a ton of opportunities to talk about this game. So we're ignoring all Super Bowl material here on this podcast until next week.

But we promise we will get to it.

We will not be ignoring the Super Bowl.

I will guarantee you we're going to hit this game from every conceivable angle between now and the time it kicks off. So do not worry about that at all. So with that out of the way, let's get to the questions that we are going to answer. So the first one we have here, I wanted to start off with this one for a couple of different reasons. One, because you're on the show. Two, because we didn't talk about this team enough when discussing Matthew Stafford with Teres yesterday. So Jared Parsons asks, it's a great question.

Is Matthew Stafford tall enough to play quarterback for the Broncos?

I think this is a thought started to get into a lot of other considerations about how Matthew

Stafford fits in Denver.

So why don't you take this one away?

Because I'm curious what your answer to that is.

And brilliant framing by Jared, by the way, because it just really covers a lot of, a lot of,

it covers a lot of ground in a really short sentence. So yes, the short answer is yes. I do think

he is tall enough. Six foot three just makes it. But I do think in all seriousness,

the Broncos are a place that you absolutely have to consider as a potential landing spot

for Matthew Stafford. The one wild card here is that we don't really know yet who George

Peyton is going to be as a general manager. And how aggressive he's willing to be early. Having a new GM, that's a big swing to take on your first couple months in the jock. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's a massive swing that he would have to take. We don't know exactly what his overall philosophy is going to be in terms of how he wants to build the roster, you know, how aggressive he's going to be in free agency, how loose he's going to be with his draft capital in terms of

wanting to move picks. If this was strictly John Elway making the decisions, I think it would be

a much different conversation because I'm sure he sees a lot of himself and Matthew Stafford,

both like former number one recruits, golden arm, like there's a lot of parallels between Matthew Stafford, both like former number one recruits, golden arm.
