to any NAPLIS for a third-round pick. Which I actually like to move. I think Matt Ryan, and I know Colts fans are now in this purgatory where they keep trying a different quarterback every year. And I think the last four years have been Jacobi Berset, Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan. I still think they have a good enough team that like Philip Rivers, remember that team, they were very close to beating the bills in that first round playoff game, getting into the playoffs is the name of the game. Well, they roll in the dice. They should have made the playoffs this year. Right. But their defense left them down in that last game at Jackson. Correct. But it's I like to move. I don't know. I know Matt Ryan Ryan Get shit on I think he's an above average quarterback. He probably doesn't have many years left It's great that they have a decent offensive line, right as we I think you were the first person that I heard say that he's the most Sackable quarter. He is his body just takes absorb Curt Cousins I would also add to that. Yes, though because he just he has a way of kind of turdling in about himself. Yes.

Any time there's a past rush or five yards away from her closer, but Matt Ryan, I think he's actually I think he's a very good quarterback for the team that they've built in Indianapolis. And he's the most Indiana looking person maybe ever. Yes. So it's perfect. Like you created a video game character and you stopped halfway through because he didn't really care how much detail he wanted to put on his face.

He is, he's perfect for Indiana, he's perfect for that team. I also think that a small part of this is the end of 23 jokes. Now they'll always live on, but I saw CBS Sports had a post that tried, it was the moment where I was like, okay, this might be over. the Colts traded the third round pick, and it's the 82nd pick in the draft, and they're like, three, eight, two, and then rearranged it, 28 to three. It's like, all right, that's, it's over. Newrology, what should we bring math into it? You can't do that. You can't do multiplication, division, you can't rearrange. Now if something lines lines up 28 to three, I will see on it. And I will 10% chance, if it's a tweet, I will click like on it. Right. If it was the 28th pick in the third round, maybe that makes sense. But to say the 82nd pick overall and then doing that. So that, and Matt Ryan leaving, that's kind of the end of that era of Falcons. But I do like how even he was connected to go out to San Francisco, played with Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta, that's when he won his MVP. And I just, I liked imagining him for the 49ers. That was fun for a little bit. But I do think that with what he does, and what he does, well, it's a good fit for the Colts. It's unfortunately always going to be from now on. Like, this trade is going to be compared to Carson Wentz.

And that's just how it's going to look, like, one third round or two third round picks. And I'm going to have to be prepared to steal myself against that. That's age. That's age. I also want to throw this out there, and I'm wondering what you think. the to be a quarterback never a better time to be a quarterback if you're an elite quarterback

kind of a shitty time to be a quarterback if you're an elite quarterback kind of a shitty time to be a quarterback if you're a yeah butt guy because you mentioned Baker Mayfield. I think he might go to Seattle but the the seats are slowly filling up where like Baker Mayfield where does he go does Jordan love ever get a starting shot like Jimmy G if he doesn leave, what happens to trade lands? So it's awesome for to Sean Watson, who gets, was it 230 million guaranteed or Lamar Jackson who's coming up soon or Russell Wilson when his contract's up soon. But like that second, third, fourth tier of guys, it feels like they basically get a couple shots and then it's like,

all right, we're moving on. This realignment to me also feels like when the West for the first time in a long time, got really good in the NBA. Yeah. You know, like what was that 15 years ago, when that was 20 years ago, when the West just became the dominant side of the NBA, this is like the AFC just continues to stack up quarterbacks. If I were an NFL player, I would want to play in the NFC right now.

If I'm a quarterback, it is like the AFC just continues to stack up quarterbacks. If I were an NFL player, I would want to play in the NFC right now. If I'm a quarterback, it's like send me to the NFC. I've got Aaron Rogers who's got probably a couple more years and then he's done Tom Brady, who knows how long he'll be around before he goes to Las Vegas into the AFC. But as far as the NFC goes, it's like wide open. It's wide open. There was a moment in in time yesterday This was before James resigned with the Saints, which were very excited for and Marcus Mario to sign with the Falcons But the quarterbacks in Tom Brady's division were Sam Darnold Josh Rosen and Tessam Hill Yeah, like that's why he came back. It's not it's not a it's not there's no mystery behind the fact that Tom Brady looked around the landscape

was like, oh, we're guaranteed to go to the playoffs.

Yeah, no matter what.

I'm very glad to see James back with the Saints. It was going to be great. It's going to be awesome. I want a full season of James down there and a full season of off season training videos, which is already way ahead of schedule right now. I don't know if you've seen him moving around on his leg. Yeah, he had like one drill where I'm pretty sure his trainer was doing something like throwing golf clubs at him

Well, he was trying to throw Whiffleball through a hole. awesome He was the one in where he was in like a huge parachute inflated trying to run on a treadmill But it the I went hard knocks James Winston. Yeah. Yes, just James the question though So like Lamar again, he's gonna get his money. He deserves his money. Russell Wilson will get his money. He deserves his money.

But like Kyler Murray, I don't know, because Kyler Murray feels right now in that very close but not their guy, do you give him all that money? And would Kyler Murray like, some team is gonna give him some money. Right. It's probably gonna be a team that's in a very tough position quarterback was, that is just gonna take an absolute shot at him,
