You're going to be. Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple insider Matthewar here and slightly out of breath just ran back from outside the

Whistles blowing for the tornado thing outside so there's also reports that hail thunder lightning could be coming

my way so had to go out put the cars in the garage and didn't have a chance to put on

a nicer shirt or catch my breath, but we're here

wanted to make sure I was on time for all of you. And if there's a tornado, well I'm in my basement anyway.

So if you see me flying away with some cows or something, then you know exactly what happened.

But otherwise, I'm sure it'll be just fine.

So happy to see everybody here tonight.

A lot going on in the NFL we have cut down day tomorrow but

the Vikings already did start with some cuts today. We'll talk about some other

things that happened in the NFL but where I wanted to begin was with the

athletic and their quarterback tears article that they put out every single

year it's one of my favorite reads. I think it's really insightful. Mike Sando of the NFL,

I'm sorry, of the athletic, has talked to NFL executives over the years many times and he talks to coaches and people in front offices and

gets them to put quarterbacks in different tiers and then writes the huge article right before the start of the season.

And normally with Kirk Cousins, we knew exactly where to find him, which was right around

that third tier or second tier, was it late second tier, early third tier,

kind of depended on what he had done the previous season.

If he had a decent year, then he was a little higher, if he had a tough year, he was a little higher if he had a tough year he was a little

lower but it was Kirk Cousins so he was always going to be somewhere between 10th and 15th

in the quarterback tier ranking so I was usually looking for the rest of the league and what everybody thought especially for young

Quarterbacks but in this case I immediately opened the article and scrollrolled as fast as I could down.
