00:00Do you regret how you handled the quarterback position to me? Look Ross is a very complicated thing
00:06I happen to think and I you may agree with I think we agree on this
00:09Ross in Pittsburgh is just perfect. Mike Tomlin is is a dude Mike Tomlin knows how to coach
00:13Well, I'm sorry screaming at Yogi at Loogie when we were over at a Yankee Stadium
00:19the reason Russell Wilson is playing well in Pittsburgh is because Arthur Smith is actually the perfect coordinator and
00:26Mike Tomlin
00:28Does it will not take his BS? That's why I think it's different. It's you because guess what happened in Seattle
00:34Whatever reason Pete Carroll started
00:37Accepting and listening to his BS
00:39For whatever reason Nate Hackett just allowed Russell Wilson to be a BS artist for whatever reason Sean Payton
00:48Stomached it for six or seven weeks and he said dude
00:51You ain't playing for me because I'm not guaranteeing the rest of your contract sit down
00:55So he was humbled for the first time maybe in his life Russell Wilson
00:59Yeah, and so then he goes to a coach and Mike Tomlin who takes no nothing exactly period no, and that's why it's working
01:06That's now but you can't you keep the reason you can't use Russell Wilson as an example
01:10Mm-hmm is because Russell Wilson just came off of back-to-back-to-back worst seasons of his career and now you're gonna say
01:17Yeah, I really want him. No, no way. I completely agree with you
01:20I think that the the question I'll get you in a second the question
01:24Sean about the free agency and things like
01:28But to me when you ask but who else was there well, I'll give you an answer
01:32That's why he's used as an example. They met Russell. Okay, but who else was was there?
01:36Well, my my example is Justin Fields via trade considering how little you gave up and I trust Brian Dable to mold a young quarterback
01:43So that I use that example
01:45Reluctantly came to agree with you on Justin Fields, but I can't get there because it was a trade
01:50It wasn't a free agent and they were asking for a third-round pick
01:53Yeah, but what did he end up getting like a sixth or a seventh or something condition?
01:56That's my point. It was too late. And also my you had already signed they had already signed drew a lot
02:01Okay, that's the question about the regret at the quarterback position. It's true lock. Hmm. That's the regret
02:06There were other possibilities like I'm convinced who I just Justin feels
02:12I just forget but that was a trade situation
02:13I could tell you why most teams didn't didn't bite on because the price tag was too high
02:17Pittsburgh Steelers didn't bite on that. When did that happen? It happened like
02:22Extraordinarily late in the oh, why do they have to bite so quickly on drew lock who you know as well as I do stinks
02:26Because who else was out there? I don't think you needed a backup quarterback in your locker room. You needed one
02:31You couldn't go. You can't be like the we brought up earlier Chicago Bears, you know
02:36The Chicago Bears have in their locker agent Tyler Tyson Baygent, right? It was in his second year
02:41No, I got Shepherd University, you know their third quarterback is it's some kid from Western, Kentucky
02:46Who was I think he was drafted? He's on the practice squad
02:49So you have a first year you have two first years one who's a college free agent one
02:53Who's the first overall pick and you have a second year from Shepherd University and you wonder why the Chicago Bears suck?
02:58Yes, they don't have a back
02:59First of all, they had a terrible system in place to groom a young quarterback for Shane Waldron and Kelly
03:06Whatever the heck his name is the quarterback coach. He was a running back coach, but he played quarterback in Canada
03:10So he's what it was it was a bad situation with no vet
03:14The Giants did not want a non vet in the back of four days after they signed drew Locke Justin Fields was traded
03:20So I stand by that that's my critique. And by the way, that's a fair question to ask him
03:24I'm sure he said he had no regrets about the quarterback and I just got to tell you you're reaching you're reaching on a lot
03:28of these things you read cuz yes
