| 0:00.0 | Welcome back. It's Beyond the Box Corps. I'm Dan Schneier. That's Jacob Gibbs. Today we are leading off, Jacob, with the review that caught our attention. And by the way, I haven't been doing my job as plug God. I have not |
| 0:21.8 | been asking the loyal listeners and this unbelievable, quite honestly, unbelievable community |
| 0:28.0 | we've built looking at the comments, looking at the constant support they've given us to leave |
| 0:32.4 | us ratings and reviews on iTunes and Spotify. That's my fault. I'm no plug God. I was once a plug God. These days are |
| 0:39.0 | over for now, but I am rising again to ask you all to please leave us a rating and review on Spotify and |
| 0:45.6 | we will do a better job of answering those questions on air if you leave us a rating and review |
| 0:50.3 | on iTunes and Spotify. We will find the best questions. We'll answer them on air. And you will help us grow the show. So thank you, please do that. Make sure you hit the like button too if you watch the show on YouTube. Hit that like button. Leave us a comment. But today we are starting with the haters, Jacob, because they deserve time and attention as well. What is this first review and rating that we are going to read on today's show? Good to see you, Dan. Nice hoodie. Yeah, we've made it. I mean, we started this. New hoodie, by the way. Expanded the show, started asking and pushing for, you know, getting more reviews and everything back in June, I think, maybe July. So we're going on like six months now, all five stars. Love you guys. |
| 1:29.9 | Appreciate the hell out of you. Like, thank you. That's so cool. We've, you know, seen that number |
| 1:35.2 | really rise and that's been cool to get more people in here who didn't know about the show. |
| 1:40.2 | But the streak is over. We finally got our first non-five star. |
| 1:57.8 | Dan is so annoying. DART has played two games. Get over it, basically. This is a sentiment I've seen expressed a little bit in the comments is that people feel like you're a home or Dan or whatever. |
| 2:05.1 | Guys, Jackson Dart, what Jackson Dart is doing right now deserves to be talked about. |
| 2:07.2 | The dude's averaging over 20 fantasy points per game. If you look back dating to 2000 through an initial four games of a quarterback's career, |
| 2:14.1 | Jackson Dart is QB8 in points. |
| 2:22.6 | Dating back to 2000, ahead of Andrew Luck, head of Joe Burrow, ahead of Aaron Rogers. |
| 2:24.9 | They're an initial four starts. |
| 2:31.2 | If you look at just round one quarterbacks, he's QB7 that removes Jalen Hurts. |
| 2:33.5 | So let me show you the list real quick. But I just, I don't, I feel like Jackson Dart is relevant. And we've talked about him because of that and because he's extremely fun. So I think that is a pretty ridiculous comment. Maybe we can get it a minute if we're, if we're nice, but honestly, I don't really. Yeah, hopefully I could be in that nice today. |
| 2:51.5 | Here it is. |
| 2:53.2 | DeShon Watson, of course, at the crazy start. |
| 2:58.4 | Most of these quarterbacks, you'll notice, are extreme rushing quarterbacks, and I think are interesting for the purpose of the DART discussion. |
| 3:01.4 | So you see their rushes here, like DART has 35 through his initial four starts compared |
