| 0:09.7 | Tyler says I personally see JJ winning the job is the absolute best case scenario |
| 0:14.2 | long term. Jefferson has had nine quarterbacks. Oh, yeah. Well, it, so there's, yeah, I mean, there's part of me that wants to say maybe not, |
| 0:27.4 | because if he wins the job, that means something went really wrong with Kyler, probably. |
| 0:33.1 | I think the best case scenario is that Kyler is just awesome and you keep him for a while |
