00:00This is the part that I don't get, is, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
00:05Because when I have conversations like that one, and it's a great phone call and
00:08you made good points, thank you, sir.
00:11I'm expecting the reaction of, yeah, it would be outrageous if he didn't
00:16play the first snap of the preseason.
00:19This is how it should go.
00:20I should say, hey, would you be upset if Jaden Daniels didn't start the game
00:24against the Jets, and everyone should go, yeah, I'd be livid, I'd be apoplectic.
00:30That would be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
00:32Why on earth would Marcus Mariota start a preseason game over the number two
00:37overall pick in the Heisman Trophy winner?
00:40That's how that should go.
00:43Good for Dan Quinn and his staff that you guys seem very calm, and
00:47you guys are being very rational.
00:50I wouldn't even say rational, I think it's irrational.
00:53But that everyone seems okay with the idea, whatever Dan wants to do.
00:58I don't know if this is like a year one in Rivera,
01:01we trust bit that everyone's doing or not.
01:04But I do need everyone to understand that one snap in a preseason game of
01:10Mariota as the starter is stupid.
01:13And then it could be explained to me as, you don't understand,
01:15he's still gonna be the starter.
01:16Cool, I don't care about that part, enough.
01:20One of the first comments Dan Quinn made in training camp was,
01:26This is not a secret.
01:28Everyone knows how this is going to end, I'm paraphrasing.
01:31Something like that though.
01:32This isn't a secret, you guys know Jaden's the guy.
01:36You're right, it's not a secret.
01:37You're also right that there's no reason to pretend something else that he said
01:43early in training camp, so let's stop doing that.
01:47Now, I shouldn't even get upset about something that I don't think is gonna
01:50happen, so I'll set this off to the side now.
01:52Because again, I do think he's gonna start.
01:55But until they name him the starter,
01:57I'm just trying to take the temperature of some of you guys.
02:03But the answer should be, if Jaden Daniels isn't on the field,
02:07after the opening kickoff against the Jets, are you irritable?
02:11Your answer should be, yeah, that's one of the most ridiculous things that's
02:15happened here in a long time.
