00:00All right, here's a feedback we got from the 10 techs the 10 techs being
00:04Who scares you the most in the NFC after four weeks?
00:08Look, I everybody's scary the Lions can you know, there's there's a bunch of teams that can trip you up
00:13But going into the season was probably close to unanimous San Francisco
00:17I'm sure there was some Green Bay out there
00:19But now who scares you the most Mike at work says it's Minnesota Joe and East Point says Tampa
00:24These are the 10 techs first 10 techs that came in and signed their techs Kevin at lunch says guys
00:29I really believe it's the Vikings. They are stacked
00:32Jeff says, Minnesota. We need home field Scott and Rochester says it's the Vikings Nort in pink
00:38He says biggest roadblock is still San Francisco
00:41Brett in a truck call me crazy, but I am most worried by the Vikings
00:45Marlon wall lake says I still say it's Green Bay because love got hurt and he's still getting back to form
00:52Jason at work the Vikings worry me the most
00:55Darnold seems to be the real deal this year and Jeff in a truck says I am still most worried by the 49ers
01:01so a lot of people in Detroit here buying into Minnesota the interesting thing about Minnesota and Tampa is
01:09Teams like to copycat
01:11They have both taken
01:13journeymen quarterbacks
01:15Who struggled on bad teams?
01:18put them in situations with weapons and
01:22And those guys are having success there was this formula the team's like using we're gonna draft our quarterback
01:29Throw them out there, but we're gonna put weapons around him while we don't have to pay him
01:34Ride the rookie contract and hope that the veteran weapons that we put out there works
01:40This is same philosophy except it's being done with
01:45Journeymen veterans who have perhaps been in bad situations. I don't know the Darnold or Mayfield
01:50We're ever in a great situation. Nope, and you put them out there with Mike Evans or Justin Jefferson and
01:56And the weapons that they have and suddenly is this thing is this gonna become the new thing?
02:02Because both Tampa and the Vikings got votes in this. I don't know if it becomes a new thing
02:07I think you look at I mean quarterback clearly guys have talent, but if you're not giving them a chance anywhere
02:15It's hard to write guys off. Like would you write off?
02:18I
02:19Know people have already written off Zach Wilson, and I might eventually have to break up with him as well and let it go
02:27But did he have anything to work with and with the Jets?
02:30Didn't feel no it goes to the Broncos and they're committed to Bo Nix there and yet
02:35There's not a ton to work with their bilge or case Gator
02:37I'm wondering is he get a chance to go somewhere else when they have when somebody else has talent
02:43You know would they would they take a flyer on on him?
02:47But Sam Darnold in Minnesota Sam Darnold wasn't supposed to be the quarterback now
02:52I mean they drafted JJ McCarthy, you know
02:56They could mixed reviews of what was happening in training camp
02:59Some people say was McCarthy was doing great others said not so much, but he gets hurt can't play
03:04Oops, we gotta go to Darnold. No, I was like, yep. Well, I like I get to throw to Jefferson
03:09I get thrown Addison. I get the running game here. Okay, this this works out
03:12I got this in Jalen nailers on this team and Hawkins. It'll come back
03:17It's so much talent, but I feel like you have to overflow it with the talent for the guy to have that success
03:23Baker Mayfield
03:25You could see I mean there's a competitive spirit with Baker Mayfield that you have to respect
03:30But he had nobody to work with and then he goes to Tampa and it's like, okay, they built that team
03:36so that Tom Brady could win a Super Bowl with it and did and
03:40Didn't win another one but got the one and those players are still there at some point
03:45They're gonna have to replace Mike Evans and is right it in stone thousand-yard
03:50Receiving each year, but they've got God when they got so many other good players there
03:54I don't know if it's I think it's just a smart way is is to have a team that's got weapons and almost any quarterback
04:01You feel I can step in and be good if Gardner Minshew had people to work with outside of Devontae Adams
04:07They'd anything else there maybe the Raiders get something going
04:13It's pretty remarkable because Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are tied for number one in the NFL with 11 touchdown passes
04:21to
04:23Journeymen who finally landed in a place with weapons and look what they're doing. There are also two really high draft picks
04:29I mean Baker was 1-1 and Sam Darnold was what fourth overall see Kang. He's about to circle back to Zach Wilson
04:35I'm not I'm just I'm just because he was a hydra
04:37Zach Wilson things interesting because it's a covert year and had it not been a covert year
04:41Would he have been taken that high because he was one of those guys you actually got to see every week as BYU played that
04:45Full what's funny is you think about Jared Goff when Jared Goff came to Detroit?
04:49He was considered sort of a journeyman quarterback who you know people were like he's never gonna be elite
04:54And it was a throw-in and when he got here
04:57He didn't have weapons and in fact until like now the weapons are well respected
05:02But Amin Ra wasn't considered an elite wide receiver was a rookie
05:06He was a rookie, and it was also different too because Goff had success when he came into the league
05:12he got success quickly and was very good and
05:15Then fell out of favor with with the the coach a different situation
05:19But it's amazing what Goff was doing without what was considered elite weapons, and now I feel like he has elite weapons
