Transcript

00:00This is gonna take this in a little different direction just for the moment now because we've gotten a little like another piece of news

00:05Which is nothing it's not earth-shattering, but I think it's part of something that's already started

00:11And if it continues

00:12I actually think that we're gonna see a different starting quarterback under center for a team in week one that we've been expecting for the

00:19Entire offseason. Okay, Russell Wilson is still like limited with this calf injury

00:24Fields is getting a ton of reps with the first team. I think I said this on the air yesterday

00:28I still think Russell Wilson's the favorite to start but the longer this goes I

00:35Like the better chance you have to give fields of being potentially the week one starter, let's say

00:40Fields is the week one starter

00:42Mike Tomlin's currently 22 to 1 if Justin Fields is the quarterback to begin the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers

00:48Does that make you?

00:50Feel better about Mike Tomlin's candidacy for coach of the year where he's never won famously

00:55Does it make you feel are you less interested in it or are you ambivalent towards it?

00:59It feels is gonna be the quarterback not Ross. I'm just as disinterested as I was before

01:05Okay, they still they still won ten games

01:08This is the reason why he's never won is he's never had to improve. He's always been good

01:13So there's never been like man. We don't think the Steelers are gonna be it

01:16They're the most bet win total over at every sportsbook. They're the third most bet team to win the Super Bowl across sportsbooks

01:24Everyone thinks they're gonna be good already. So like the idea of man like they're really up against it

01:30Whoa, look at the Steelers. Everyone already thinks they're gonna be great that perceptions already out there

01:35Whereas it's like like juxtapose that with it like the Panthers

01:39Everyone thinks they're gonna be brutal the Patriots who look like we don't think Mayo's gonna win

01:43What do we know? Nobody thought D'Amico Ryan's was gonna be any good last year

01:47They had the lowest win total in the league basically except Arizona when they're great. It's surprising

01:51I don't think there's anything surprising about the Steelers being good

01:54Even if fields is the quarterback maybe a little more surprising, but I think everybody kind of likes fields

01:59Anyway, I think everybody kind of wants that to happen

02:00Anyway, even if we're all wrong about whether fields is good or not
