00:00and I want to get your reaction to, I guess for starters,
00:04the Darnold and Fields deals
00:06with the Seahawks and Jets respectively.
00:09Well, it's pretty clear that the coach McDonald in Seattle
00:13didn't like the roster that he had, right?
00:16He didn't, you know, he got there.
00:18He inherited Geno Smith.
00:20He inherited the DK Metcalf situation.
00:24And now you look at the end of the line for Tyler Lockett.
00:29I give credit to Seattle
00:30for at least having a plan, Scott, right?
00:32A lot of people wondered, all right,
00:33what are they going to do next?
00:34Sort of like the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:36What are they going to do next?
00:37It looked like Seattle already had that plan in store.
00:40We're going to trade Geno Smith.
00:41We're going to sign Sam Darnold.
00:44Does it make them any better though, Scott?
00:46Like really, I get that people love to talk about this stuff
00:49and anytime that a player changes teams,
00:51but you got to ask yourself,
00:53are the Raiders better now with Geno Smith
00:55than they were before?
00:57Not really, like, you know,
01:00all you need to know is the Raiders' odds, guys,
01:02before they signed Geno Smith
01:04were 100 to one to win the Super Bowl.
01:06The Raiders' odds now to win the Super Bowl, 100 to one.
01:10It didn't change, like it didn't even like cause a ripple,
01:12like nothing, didn't move an inch.
01:15Seattle, you know, let's see what they do moving forward,
01:18Scott, I don't think anybody's really done anything
01:20to make them better.
01:21Besides, you've got to love bringing in DK Metcalf.
01:25Yet you bring in DK Metcalf,
01:27you don't have this, you don't have a quarterback.
01:29And, you know, Scott, I got to believe
01:31it's going to be Russell Wilson at this point, right?
01:35I mean, you bring, would you rather bring in Aaron Rodgers
01:38in his first year of this system
01:40and go through all of this type of stuff?
01:42I think Rodgers would be less dramatic
01:45and I don't think he would try to call as many shots
01:49or be in his control as he was with the New York Jets,
01:52with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Scott,
01:53but I would go back to Wilson instead of Rodgers personally.
01:57He was already there for a year.
01:59Now he actually has somebody to work with.
02:01Let's be real, Scott,
02:02you and I talked about this with the Steelers.
02:04They didn't have skilled position players.
02:06You got Pickens, who's pretty good, but he's a headcase.
02:09He's not a guy that you're going to rely on
02:11to be a number one guy.
02:12He's still young, he's still learning the league.
02:15So you bring in Metcalf right now,
02:16you got to get yourself a running back.
02:18I like the aggression of the Steelers,
02:20but the uncertainty of quarterback
02:23is what baffles me the whole time.
02:24Well, you know, we'll bring back Fields or Wilson.
02:27Like, do they have a plan?
02:28Do they know who they want?
02:30Right, that's my question with them.
02:32And like you said,
02:33it looks like it's going to be either Wilson or Rodgers,
02:35but it's a lot of just musical chairs, Scott,
02:37that doesn't really make teams better.
02:39People like to talk about this stuff,
02:41but does it make them better?
02:43That's the big question.
