00:00 Well, we got the report from the athletics almost somewhere else, but the athletics,
00:07 Diana Rossini yesterday saying the Jets have already made contact with veteran quarterbacks
00:13 around the National Football League, free agents looking for a new home and doing their
00:18 due diligence.
00:19 So DRS, who do you think a couple of those names might be?
00:23 Well, if you are a GM and Joe Douglas is a quality GM, certainly knows the talent here
00:28 to pick it up in the draft.
00:30 He's been on Super Bowl organizations here.
00:32 So you're going to trust that he's going to make the next steps and the right moves here.
00:35 But to be honest with you, just due diligence is what he's doing.
00:38 Who's available, who might be able to come out of retirement, which other teams are willing
00:41 to maybe move on from a quarterback or two, just getting your ducks in a row.
00:44 But I think they're being honest with us when they tell us this is Zach Wilson's team, because
00:48 if I'm being honest with myself and the assessment of the Jets, they're better off staying with
00:52 Zach Wilson.
00:53 I understand, Tom Brady and Philip Rivers.
00:55 Trust me right now when I say this, Zach Wilson is the best option for the Jets overall,
01:00 because two things are going to happen.
01:01 If Zach Wilson plays well this year and they make the playoffs, I'm not talking Super Bowl,
01:05 he's going to be on your roster and maybe he's going to be the guy that's going to succeed
01:09 Aaron Rodgers with another year of tutelage here.
01:11 If he's really bad, you can close the chapter on Zach Wilson, then find out if Aaron Rodgers
01:15 is coming back.
01:16 If not, you can move forward.
01:17 But let me tell you this, Ben, going outside the organization and getting Tom Brady to
01:21 come in, Tom Brady can't move.
01:24 He was the reason why you didn't have epic success last year for Tampa Bay.
01:27 Father Time catches up.
01:29 He couldn't move at the end of it.
01:30 Philip Rivers, he can't move.
01:32 And also the arm strength is nowhere near what Zach Wilson has here.
01:35 And then if you take some of the other options, you know, Mitchell Trubisky and Jacoby Brissett
01:39 and Taylor Heineke, that's the same quarterback that we're talking about over and over and
01:42 over.
01:43 Not a market increase here.
01:44 So it's up to Zach Wilson to carry the Jets this year.
01:47 I don't know if they're going to make the playoffs.
01:48 They're certainly not making a playoff run, but at least you get clarity or closure with
01:52 Zach Wilson for me this year, Ben.
