| 0:00.0 | This is your QB offices and podcasts are going to talk with Mike Sando about all the news and notes and rumors about the biggest names and who could make a move on one of these better and |
| 0:21.0 | Danny Kelly are draft guy at the ringer. We're going to go over all the prospects and some other first round stuff as well and QB coaches in it working with draft prospects working with first routers and working with pros. We have Quincy Avery from the QB takeover and also from QB Summit Jordan Palmer and some good Dishon stuff good stuff on Josh Allen, Jainlin Hertz. So it's not just draft on that one. Some NFL stuff as well. Please enjoy Mike Sando was joined us |
| 0:51.0 | throughout the season and maybe a number more important to join us now is trying to get ready for this NFL off season and all the different rumors stuff going on. You can read his stuff on the athletic. It is must read for any NFL fan I enjoyed every single week. Okay, I want to start with premise here. We know that the NFL the Wildcats the best example of the NFL losing their minds about something that worked one week and it's like, Hey, we need to do that. All right. And then it then it stopped working. So we look at the Tampa Bay model bringing in Brady winning a Super Bowl. Maybe that's Brady, but then it happens to staff for an L.A. |
| 1:21.0 | There are times we can freak out about the models, whereas now because the Rams want a Super Bowl, everybody's just supposed to think draft picks are stupid, which I think is a bit ridiculous. Maybe the most ridiculous story that I read on playing the results of something was that since in any front office is not cheap. Now it is streamlined their first playoff win in 31 years. It's like, no, no, no, we've actually been doing this right by not having a lot of people on the staff. So having said all of those things. How much do you think though the last two Super Bowl winners bringing veteran guys maybe influences more activity in the |
| 1:51.0 | offseason now specifically to this one? There's no doubt there's more quarterback movement lately. We've seen it. I think there's no doubt there's more willingness to move boldly. It feels like to me, maybe the younger GM thing, whatever it is. I think the teams picking at the bottom of the first round have already been thinking this way a little bit in terms of. Hey Seattle, whether it was a good move or not, they would rather have Jamal Adams. They thought was a frontline player than two picks ostensibly at the end of the round, right? Or the troid now doing the Rams now doing that in the trade. |
| 2:21.0 | So I think that part is here to stay trade delayed around late first round picks try to get good players. It can make sense for both sides if you have a Jalen Ranzi who's for whatever reason, you know, going to not fit with his current team, which was Jacksonville or a staffer, the plan is just a line. |
| 2:37.0 | It doesn't mean that there's going to be a meta quarterback like staffer is just, hey, you know, can I leave? And then his team goes, hey, sure. That just these are all special weird situations that aren't really a replica. |
| 2:50.0 | Right? There's not going to be another Brady situation. It happened once in his career. The Tom Brady was now we'll see what happened with Rogers. I think he's going to stay in Green Bay probably, but these are not things easily replicable other than keeping open mind because if it does become available to you do it. |
| 3:07.0 | Green Bay, you know, they they're dressed the media the other day and I thought their their leadership was smart about this. Like you know, it hasn't gone our way with the number one sees, but that still means that we're in the mix for this thing. |
| 3:17.0 | And we have a really good team. I know they have some cap challenges, maybe a couple of vets that haven't played enough because of health reasons to move on. They have the Devonte Adam situation, but they're likely going to make Rogers or offer him to be the highest paid quarterback in the league. So how much do you think this thing is cool from where we were last summer? |
| 3:34.0 | I think it's totally different. I think all of us objectively could have looked at the situation even last year and said the most logical thing for all parties would be for Rogers to stay with green Bay. However, when feelings are hurt in a negotiation or in any relationship, people don't make logical rational decisions, right? I mean, if you're pissed at your boss or pissed at your friend or whatever, then you may do something that you wouldn't otherwise do that wouldn't make sense. |
| 4:03.0 | I think that's where Rogers was a year ago. I think he was ticked off at the organization bad relationship with the GM and he was ready to go now. |
| 4:13.0 | Clearly, he feels better about the situation. I think it's a much better set of circumstances to proceed logically. So unless I think you have to now imagine something that isn't apparent that there's not evidence for to think that he's leading now. It just doesn't seem like it. |
| 4:32.0 | Yeah, and they had also said we didn't promise him a trade. We didn't we didn't promise him anything, which I think it's been I wouldn't say it's a massive misunderstanding, but at least it was to hear from Gutenkut's that that specific like, hey, look, just so everybody knows no trade was promised. Okay, so let's then pivot to San Francisco because you even touched on this before. I don't know if this is putting too much emphasis in the structure of a sentence from Tom Brady. Now we've learned more that me and he and him. |
| 5:01.0 | He and he and Arians weren't on the same page. He says he's retiring. He doesn't have to be the bad guy. Do you actually think this is? |
| 5:07.0 | I don't like to ask you to put a percentage on it, but Brady actually just ending up with San Francisco. Your thoughts on that. |
| 5:13.0 | I was trying to put a percentage on it. You know, I think it's enough to put. I was thinking what would the percentages translate to embedding odds. So don't hold me to this. But like in my mind, I feel like it's a 20% chance. There's something there. |
| 5:27.0 | I feel like Brady has nothing really on his bucket list left other than maybe play for the 49ers. So the fact that his agent represents Grapplo and him. |
| 5:38.0 | It allows for something to happen more seamlessly than it otherwise might. It could be a complicated thing as it is. But I think that has to be at least something in the back of his mind that he would consider over anything else. |
| 5:55.0 | What he won a championship without bellic. I can't you know, he's 17 eight doesn't matter. The I think the only thing that would seem logical would be if that could work out the. |
| 6:06.0 | The childhood storybook team that he wanted to play for which by the way was probably Tom Brady away from winning it all this year. |
| 6:13.0 | Really when you go back and look at the season. So it's enough. There's enough there for me to not call it ridiculous. I think it's interesting. |
