Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to what the caller was saying. Obviously,
Speaker 1: not a Jared Goff fan doesn't have to be, doesn't
Speaker 1: make him wrong. I disagree with him. He says green Bay.
Speaker 1: In terms of our pole question for today, we ask
Speaker 1: which was the biggest threat? San Francisco is the runaway winner?
Speaker 1: Green Bay was second. Our caller said it was green Bay.
Speaker 1: He disagrees with the Lions giving Golf the four year extension,
Speaker 1: and I think what he said in there, and I
Speaker 1: don't want to lose sight of it, was that you
Speaker 1: didn't have to because they had another gear left. Now,
Speaker 1: I would say this when quarterbacks go into when a
Speaker 1: quarterback goes into a final season, especially coming off the
Speaker 1: year that Jared Goff had last season leading his team
Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship Game, a guy who I think
Speaker 1: has exceeded what people thought he would be when he
Speaker 1: came here. Sixty seven completion percentage, close to forty six
Speaker 1: hundred yards, thirty tds, twelve interceptions. Maybe those numbers don't
Speaker 1: impress you. The twelve and five record should second best
Speaker 1: record of his career because when he went thirteen and
Speaker 1: three his third season in the league, but second year
Speaker 1: as a starter, they went to the super Bowl in LA.
Speaker 1: If you go into a season this year, I think,
Speaker 1: first of all, the media is all going to be
Speaker 1: asking Ben Johnson, Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, Jared Goff and
Speaker 1: every player about his contract. It creates dare I say
Speaker 1: a distraction? Let's say you say to that tough so
Speaker 1: what get through it and keep going? Those are talking
Speaker 1: points where your quarterback suddenly feels like, Okay, I'm constantly
Speaker 1: reminded of this, how do I feel about this organization?
Speaker 1: Then it might go up. His price tag might go
Speaker 1: up if he has another good year. I think the
Speaker 1: other thing you have to take into account is how
Speaker 1: this team is perceived around the league. This team is
Speaker 1: turned the corner. Did you read the article the other
Speaker 1: day where an agent had said all his clients who
Speaker 1: are wide receivers are saying, find me a way to
Speaker 1: get to Detroit. This has become a destination site because
Speaker 1: of a lot of reasons. Dan Campbell, Ben Johnson, the
Speaker 1: way Brad Holmes runs his business, Chris Pielman. But Jared
Speaker 1: Goff too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I found interesting about that, I think
Speaker 2: it was specifically receivers that they kind of singled out.
Speaker 2: Receivers want to come here, and it's it's Jared Goff
Speaker 2: and it's this offense.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I say it's it's Ben Johnson. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons, but Jared Goff's part of
Speaker 1: the reason. He may not be the only reason, but
Speaker 1: he's part of the reason people are recognizing. I would
Speaker 1: ask this, Sam Laporte had an unbelievable season, one of
Speaker 1: the best, if not the best, is a rookie tight
Speaker 1: end in the history of the sport. Do you think
Speaker 1: he did it all on his own? Do you think
Speaker 1: aman Ross Saint Brown gets that contract on his own?
Speaker 1: Do you think Penney Seoul gets that contract on his own?
Speaker 1: Do you think Jared Goff gets that contract on his own? No,
Speaker 1: But Jared Goff is part of helping others get better,
Speaker 1: just like they help him. All Right, So I think
Speaker 1: that's really important to take note of. Now you think
Speaker 1: that's going to cash strap him, Brad Holmes is too
Speaker 1: smart for that. It's not going to cash strap him.
Speaker 1: And then, lastly, if not him, who you have seen
Speaker 1: some of the free agent quarterbacks who have signed contracts
Speaker 1: with other teams, and you've seen what has happened. First
Speaker 1: of all, you don't see many great quarterbacks leave their teams. Sure,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers left the Packers get a little bit older,
Speaker 1: it was time to turn the page. And you know what,
Speaker 1: the guy who was ready for it, Jordan Love. All right,
Speaker 1: who is it you want? That's what I always ask people.
Speaker 1: That's fine, you don't like him, that's cool, all right.
Speaker 1: I said this with Stafford, I've said it with other players.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be just a quarterback. You don't
Speaker 1: like this guy, that's fine. Give me who you want instead.
Speaker 1: And the reason I asked that is because of the
Speaker 1: importance of the position, and because you've got to be
Speaker 1: sure you know what you like. Maybe you want Miler Moss,
Speaker 1: the kid from USC. Maybe you want somebody like that
Speaker 1: Drew Aller. Those are the guys I want. Hey, listen, man,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams out there still looking for quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams out there that were like
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. There's a lot of teams out there that
Speaker 1: are going right now. I don't know if we can
Speaker 1: win High New York Giants. I don't know if we
Speaker 1: can win. There are other teams out there going Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna give the reins to our rookie quarterback, but
Speaker 1: we have to be prepared just in case, because it
Speaker 1: may be a struggle.
Speaker 2: Rake May.
Speaker 1: He's right, gat Drake May is not starting right well.
Speaker 1: Levis has got a really good arm, but Tennessee is
Speaker 1: not expected to be really good, and he'll be in
Speaker 1: his second year. Here's what I would ask you this,
Speaker 1: Who do you want so the free agent quarterbacks? Let's
Speaker 1: just take a look. I mean Dak Prescott. You're gonna
Speaker 1: pay him. It's thirty one, it's older than Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: You gotta play justin fields who couldn't beat out Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: You want a guy like Jacoby Brissette, he'll be a
Speaker 1: free agent. He'll only being the starting quarterback in New
Speaker 1: England because their offensive line sucks and they don't want
Speaker 1: Drake May to get shell shocked. Do you want Sam Darnold?
Speaker 1: Do you want Mac Jones? Do you want Jameis Winston?
Speaker 2: And you talk to all of this as a resulting, No, do.
Speaker 1: You want Jimmy Garoppolo?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Do you want Joe Flacco? Those are your free agent
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming up? Okay, love tongue of Belowa. They're off
Speaker 1: the market. Okay, other guys are Those are their free
Speaker 1: agents if not Jared Goff. And I'm not saying you're
Speaker 1: wrong here, even though I disagree with you. I'm just
Speaker 1: asking you who is it you want running your huddle?
Speaker 1: Oh it's Hendon Hooker? Oh okay, Hendon Hooker hasn't taken
Speaker 1: an NFL snap. You and I have taken as many
Speaker 1: snaps in an NFL regular season game as Hendon Hooker.
Speaker 1: And you want to rely on that In a season
Speaker 1: and an era of Lions football where you have become
Speaker 1: one of the favorites to win not just the NFC,
Speaker 1: but perhaps the Super Bowl, you think it's a bad
Speaker 1: idea to lock up a quarterback who led you to
Speaker 1: a television title last year, won twelve games, is widely
Speaker 1: considered a top ten quarterback and who your team loves.
Speaker 2: You have got to be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 2: And Chef, I think what you just said is brilliant
Speaker 2: because this team is Super Bowl or bust. That's why
Speaker 2: that question you ask, if not golf, then who is
Speaker 2: so important? Because got to be Christians you just gave
Speaker 2: you would way rather have GoF than every single one
Speaker 2: of those guys you just named.
Speaker 1: Right, You've got to be prepared to answer the question.
Speaker 1: If not the guy you despise or disagree with, then
Speaker 1: who you know? How there's always that Oh, I'm going
Speaker 1: to go into my boss's office and I'm going to
Speaker 1: kind of complain about a situation. What is the best advice?
Speaker 1: Have a solution before you go in there? Right, Yes, Boss,
Speaker 1: I would think we should do it this way. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? You don't go in and say I
Speaker 1: don't like it that way. I don't think it works.
Speaker 1: Because the boss is gonna say how would you do it?
Speaker 1: Then you better be prepared for that, be prepared for
Speaker 1: the answer. I don't care what it is. In any situation.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing here. You don't want Jared Goff, Okay,
Speaker 1: who do you want? Well? And none of the guys
Speaker 1: I mentioned, not one of them. A are better than
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, B any other fan base would want, and
Speaker 1: C are worth risking because they haven't proven themselves either.
Speaker 1: You may like Justin Fields, you may like Jacoby Pressett.
Speaker 1: Neither one of them have proven what Jared Goff has proven.
Speaker 1: We mentioned Dak Prescott will be the name for our
Speaker 1: free agent quarterbacks this offseason, after this year. Okay, and
Speaker 1: by the way he's going in Dallas, doesn't have him
Speaker 1: locked up. Let's see how that performs. Let's see how
Speaker 1: he performs. What's everybody asking about in Dallas? They're asking
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott in the contract Ceedee, Lamb's locked up.
Speaker 1: Now they're asking about Dak press Scott
