You know, first of all, the Geno Smith story, the Seattle quarterback. It's really unique.

There's just not a lot of comps bust, bounce around reborn pro bowler. It just doesn't happen. And you know I was thinking about this tonight. Is that I think if you've listened to me for any period of time, like I'm just not a romanticist with sports. I just don't care about the rearview mirror stuff at all. Like I want something that makes me win today. If I said to you right now, we all put about Kirk Cousins in that twelve to thirteenth best quarterback in the league.

If I said to you now, Geno Smith or Kirk Cousins, Geno Smith is younger, bigger, more mobile, and cheaper. I would take Gino Smith. Minnesota's moving off Kirk Cousins. Gino Smith passer rating last year over one hundred. This year after tonight probably at one hundred. This is who he is. He grew up, so he's six three two twenty. Kirk Cousins is about six three, two hundred to two oh five. Cousins is not mobile, folds like a deck chair when

he gets hit. Gino Smith is a big, strong, younger athlete, and you're not paying nearly as much for him, So his his I mean, it's really interesting to watch him play. You just have to erase the first go around. And you know, in a lot of people are late bloomers in life, generally in pro sports at quarterback, you're just not granted that opportunity. A lot of people in a lot of careers, you know, they just they come from a bad place, a tough childhood. It takes him a

while mid thirties to find themselves. You know. Unfortunately, professional sports, pro football is very cruel when it comes comes to quarterbacks, they want you to be mature and ready to roll at twenty one, twenty two years old, and Gino Smith wasn't. New York just engulfed him. But what a great story he is. And again he's he's a really good quarterback in the NFC. You know, he's one of those five or six guys that you know, big moves, experienced, accurate.

NFC is pretty weak for quarterbacks. AFC is a different ballgame. NFC. You go in playoff games with Gino Smith, you cannot with Daniel Jones, who is now one for twelve in prime time oh for seven on Monday Night football. And I was thinking about this the NFL and just open your mind to this. So Brian Dables trapped, great coach, trapped. He wanted the Chargers job. I think deep down he wanted Justin Herbert. He was friend with the GM Tom Telesco,

but the Spanos family chose Brandon Staley. He's trapped. Now. You can't get out from under this quarterback contract. They can draft a quarterback, but they have so many needs. O line wide receiver, tight end, maybe another corner. They you know, they can't draft a quarterback to me in the first round. They're you know, they're invested in Daniel Jones and Brian Dable knows this. So teams move off coaches all the time before their contract. If you're Brian Dabele,

end of the season, resign, call your agent. I know a team that would give up a first round pick, maybe a couple. Think about a team that has their quarterback, has their left tackle, has their center to call the audibles, has their rush end or two, has their receivers. Oh, I don't know. The Chargers. They can give up a first round pick and maybe a second the following year. They have all the big boxes checked. They need another corner because the JC Jackson gamble is not paid off.

They got all the boxes checked on the O line, on the perimeter as they've drafted exceedingly. Well, I'm not saying Brandon Staley's going to be replaced today, but if things don't work out, Kellen Moore, is he really ready to be an NFL head coach. He's a tremendous coordinator. I think you'd have to look at Brian Dable, go to your agent, get me out of here. Teams move off coaches all the time. Everything, folks, is negotiable. Everything

is negotiable. I've had twelve contracts in my life. You'd be and I'm you know, I'm certainly not an NFL head coach. Everything's negotiable. We've seen it before, trading picks for coaches. Because I think Brian Dable is trapped. I think he has a great reputation. If he resigned at the end of the season, put his name out there, oh he would have more than one or two offers. Really respected guy. And I was thinking about the situation

the Giants are in. So forget the AFC where you've got Mahomes and Burrow and Allen and Lamar Jackson and you know, Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert. Just think of the end, which is the weaker quarterback conference. So this morning I was writing some notes down I went and found it. So nine teams of the sixteen have a better quarterback than Daniel Jones in the NFC Rams, Dallas, Philly, Detroit, Minnesota,

New Orleans, Seattle, Arizona. When Kyler gets back and Gino Smith is better, excuse me, San Francisco, brock Purty is better. He is than Daniel Jones, I'm sorry you can say at Shanahan, whatever he performs at a higher level, Brock Purty so far performs at a higher level. We all know Daniel Jones was a reach at number six. We all know the contract was a reach. So you can count San Francisco or not. It's either eight of sixteen

half the NFC or nine of sixteen. And the thing to worry about the bottom of the NFC is much worse than the bottom of the AFC. We know the Raiders are going to get beat up and not win a lot of games, but Chicago Atlanta for sure are going to get two of the best quarterbacks, much higher prospects than Daniel Jones was, so they'll get like Caleb Williams, a Drake may A, Michael Pennix, much better quarterback talents

than Daniel Jones. And those teams for four years won't have to pay the quarterback, so they can load up on the roster and have a better quarterback. And then Tampa Bay could fall in that. So you got at least half of the NFC that has a better quarterback, and then you have three or four teams at the bottom of the NFC, A Chicago Atlanta at Tampa and maybe you know, maybe somebody else in the NFC that can grab a quarterback that's more talented than Daniel and

load up on their roster. They're in a really, really tough spot, the New York Giants. And again this game tonight was a blowout. So I counted eight blowouts, and with the exception of Burrow losing to Tannehill, the other seven blowouts were a good quarterback blowing out a weaker quarterback. And as I talked about yesterday, as this league, I said this like four years ago, the only downside to making this league so offensive is that increasingly there's only

one way to win. You got to get the quarterback right, and then you better have a left tackle to protect him right like there used to be boxes you had to check. And we all know you need a pass rush or a left tackle a quarterback. But what happens TJ Wat's great steels got blown out yesterday. Why they're not very good on the offensive line, at quarterback or

offensive coordinator. So you know, you start you start looking around right now, and you know the Giants are trapped with an average quarterback that's overpaid and too many positions to fill on offensive line and wide receiver to you know, I mean, you can go again for a quarterback. I would have no problem with it. They do have their left tackle. But my guess is the Giants will win enough games in the NFC six or seven that they'd have to trade up, give up picks. Maybe they do that,

but I got news for you. Chicago, Atlanta, and Arizona are not trading down if they want to take quarterbacks. I mean, these quarterbacks are really good prospects. If the Giants are behind teams and they're mostly NFC teams, those teams are not letting the Giants, you know, unless they give them seven picks. They're not letting the Giants move ahead of them. You know, a New England would for picks and stay with mac Jones another year, but an

NFC team wouldn't. What a mess. And I got to say, Devon Wetherspoon, the rookie for Seattle for years and years, pivot back to Seattle for years and years. Pete Carroll went from college to the pros and for three to four straight years own the draft. Because he had recruited so many of those players, he had such an advantage on personnel. You know, Belichick's a pro football guy. He's not watching college football on Saturdays. And you can see it in the draft. Pete Carroll came out of college.

These college coaches that go to the NFL first three or four years, they have this institutional advantage, right like of all this high school college personnel. You know, they watch these kids. They watched them in high school, they watched them in college. They can find fifth and six round guys that they know can play that they recruited. And then I thought got too much power in Seattle after the Super Bowls. It frustrated John Snyder, who interviewed

with the Detroit Lions. Paul Allen passed away. You know, there was a little bit of a vacuum of power grab and Pete had it because he had the ring and the experience and the charisma and the brand, and so Pete had a little too much power. So John Snyder says, I'm going to go to Detroit, run it and have some more power. Finally they came to terms. John signed a new deal and has more power now in the draft, and they have crushed back to back drafts crushed them and so and that's not a knock

on Pete. You know, Belichick's got too much power, and he reads one of those guys that could have power and gives Brett Veach the room. He's not interested in it, right like. But a lot of coaches they want to say in the draft, and I get it, you know, Bill Parcells, if I have to make the dinner, I want to be able to shop for groceries. So I think Seaddle's really got it figured out. See, you know you've got the great coach, Pete Carroll with younger players.

John Snyder now has more control in saying the draft and it all works out. So Devon Witherspoon had a night. He's the corner from Illinois. There was two great corners in the draft. The other was Christian Gonzales to the Patriots. Who's tremendous. He's a bigger, stronger. I think, well, he's bigger. He got hurt yesterday and the Patriots defense folded. So you got to feel good about where Seattle is at. Two good backs now Walker and the kid from UCLA

pass rush pretty good today, pretty lively tonight. The Giants. I know you think I'm crazy, suggesting Brian Dabole resign and just say anybody willing to give picks up? I think plenty would. Dabell's reputation is great. I feel bad for the guy. I mean when he goes to the sidelines and visibly shows his frustration with Daniel Jones. He knows that's on TV, it's New York. He knows that that's how frustrated he was with Daniel Jones. A reach at number six. Contract was a reach and here you are.

You know, he only had fifteen touchdowns last year, but he only had a handful of picks. His passer rating went out, his completion percentage. I thought, Okay, he'll make another leap this year. I didn't think he

was Josh Allen, but two years with Brian Dable. I mean, if you go look at most quarterbacks like Matt Ryan got Kyle Shanahan like it a lot of times it's the second year they really connect. But instead, you know, Boomy hit a ceiling. This is what Daniel Jones is. There is nowhere else to go. And I think I think Dabell knows it. You know, it's Daniel Jones. Maybe a little vanilla ice, you know, it's a not a one hit wonder, but maybe a one album wonder. Did

Vanilla have three or four albums that crushed? I don't think he did, so, you know, I thought I thought the Giants could battle for a playoff spot. I don't think I had him in the playoffs. In the NFC, I had Philly, Dallas, Saints, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle and the Alliance. And that's where we are today. Atlanta's looking bad. Whole division NFC South is all right. Instant reaction on a Monday. For the record, my eyes get a little red as the night goes on, and I don't have

any viazine in the house. So a lot of you guys make these comments. You think I'm out there, you know, with spleef Mary Jane, I'm not. I don't watch games and drink. That's what people do at sports bars. I'm ready to go and locked in. Uncle Colin gets tired, get red eyes. He guys taken shots at me. I think I'm running a saloon back here. I had peas and salmon for dinner for diet coke. You heard of the world's most interesting man. I'm the world's most boring man.

Watching the Giants in Seattle I'm loving it. That's my instant reaction. The volume
