All right, Brian, it is time for the Friday free-for-all mailbag here on the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by our friends over at Bandw. We're ready to rock and roll. We got our shirts on. We got questions in there. I am ready to do this thing. That's a roll, man. That's excellent. That's excellent. If you want to get it brought up early, obviously, give us a super chat. We didn't have a super sticker from Patrick Asherwood. Patrick, I appreciate that very much. I don't think, I'm going to look here and see if Patrick had a follow-up question on there. Just maybe because sometimes people will put the super sticker up and then not be able to get their question in.

0:54.3

But I do not see anything from Patrick.

0:58.3

So just a super sticker.

0:59.9

So we appreciate you.

1:01.7

I'm going to get to Brandon Gilbert's one because that's the one that started us off here in a little bit.

1:06.1

I want to get to that was actually a pretty good one.

1:08.2

But we'll get started off with Jordan Schreiber.

1:14.8

Brian, I had heard you say Armel was the only player the coaches went hard to bring back out of the

1:19.1

portal. Why didn't they do the same thing with Josh Burnham? I also felt like this was a huge loss.

1:24.3

Because with Josh, they did all their work to try to keep him from going in. Once he went in,

1:30.0

all the conversations had been had. There wasn't anything they were going to do differently.

1:34.7

They wanted Josh Burnham to stay, but he got in later. They knew that that was a concern,

1:39.4

and they had spent a couple weeks trying to convince him to not jump in. So it's kind of like once he

1:45.8

jumped in, there was nowhere to go. So there was no, you had to put your efforts elsewhere.

1:51.9

Armelle's decision was a little bit more reactionary to certain things. And there was,

1:57.2

there was an avenue to still, for him to be receptive to coming back.

2:02.0

And that's why he was the only guy that they went after.

2:04.3

We have said many times, Jordan, that Josh Burnham was a loss and the staff did not want to lose him.

2:10.2

But once he jumped in, that was a done deal.

2:13.5

So that's why.

2:23.4

From Iden Benami, top quarterbacks ranked by talent, who do you take as the number one pick in order?

2:27.2

Carr, Manning, Moore, Hoover, Sorsby, or Matera.
