We'll start off with papa homes. Oh, the most gifted athlete I think I've ever seen at that position. So will he go down as the best of all time? I don't think so. I still think Tom Brady's going to be almost impossible to beat in that, but this sucker is on his way, certainly. Deshawn Watson. Deshawn Watson won a national championship. My son was on his team. Thanks to the world of Deshawn Watson. You know, obviously, there's some things in his life. I'm sure that he'd have over, but everybody makes mistakes in life. And we're a country that gives second chances. So he's getting his second chance. We'll see the kind of quarterback he ends up being. Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow is the closest thing to Tom Brady I've ever seen. From a leadership standpoint, the poise he has, Joe Kool back there in the pocket, and the way he can deliver and elevate his teammates, he's absolutely terrific. Two more. We'll go Dak Prescott. Most underrated player in the league. Dak Prescott is a leader. First thing I see as a coach, I appreciate Dak Prescott. I appreciate him. He takes every single bullet for that team. Every single thing that is a negative, it's always centered around Dak Prescott, and he takes it, never makes excuses, owns up to everything, blames himself when things go poorly, and never talks about himself when things go well. The man led the NFL in touchdown passes last year. Nobody says anything about it, but I love this guy. Brett, here's something that people don't know about Dak Prescott. He was a four-time captain at Mississippi State. Now, who the hell is captain? Voted captain is a freshman, he was. He's a rare guy, has that leadership and character that I think is hard. Yeah, I mean, I don't see many people matching it. Last one, the underdog, Brock Purdy, and I was there. I was, I go to maybe one NFL game a year, and it just so happens that when he got his first opportunity, I was at that nine-year game, watching that, and I think we had a bet. I forget who they were playing. We're like, "Oh, this kid's coming in, this is a lock." And we got smoked, and ever since then, he's turned into what he is, Brock Purdy. Well, Brett, I was like you watching in total admiration when he came in. Guys don't do that. Guys don't come in cold like that, especially rookies. And there's a guy that throws that doesn't have great arm talent, yet throws the ball with such accuracy, timing and accuracy. And it's just amazing to me. So he's got a little mobility, you know, he's got some mobility. And at the biggest moments, he makes plays. And I mean, I've never seen a guy struggle like as much as he did in the rain that, you know, in a playoff game, but then against the Packers, when they needed it most, he was at his best. But I love that kid, and he just, you know, he doesn't have the fastball. He's kind of like, you know, maybe a Greg Maddox or something like that. He's nipping at the corners. But man, oh man, he's, he's been impressive. And for a guy, I love the fact people just totally dismiss it. Just because he doesn't have the big arm. He doesn't, you know, have the size and stature that you want. But I know one damn thing, he gets it done. And I would have loved to have had him his quarterback, you know, certainly. But he may not look the part, but he damn sure plays it. Can anyone stop Kansas City, what's going on in Dallas? And tell me about the Eagles. Well, I think first off Kansas City, absolutely. That offense last year shown, you know, showed a lot of vulnerabilities. In fact, a team like the Raiders almost like just totally, you know, dominated them. And the Raiders don't even have an offense, but they dominated them. So yes, any given Sunday, look, the Ravens were the best team in the National Football League last year. And yet that particular game, they decide to go away from the run game and make Lamar Jackson try to be Tom Brady as stupid as hell. All right. That's why Kansas City advanced past them. I think they're vulnerable. I really do. You know, so yeah, I don't think it's a given that they're going to be there. Yes. Do they have a great coach in Andy Reid 100%? Do they have the best player in the league right now? Yeah, they do, but there's a guy named Josh Allen that might be nipping at his heels. So I think there's some vulnerabilities there with Kansas City. As far as Dallas, I think it's really interesting. I almost went there just because I know how talented that team is. But everybody's on a, they're kind of a lame duck. So the entire coaching staff's on a one-year contract, we'll see how that works. Is that a good thing? A bad thing? I don't know. I wasn't comfortable signing it. I can tell you that much. You know, I think McCarthy's done a great job. But you know, at some point when expectations, it's kind of like the Yankees, you know, everybody expects the Yankees to be there. Well, you still got to earn your right to get in. That's, you know, so we'll see what happens there, you know, with that team. As far as the Eagles do, I don't think I've ever seen a team that absolutely showed that they hated their coaches more than the Philadelphia Eagles did the year last year. I mean, they're 10 and 0 at some point and then they couldn't beat anybody. They were the worst team in the league to close out the season without standing players. So what happened is there's something in that building that chemistry was totally off. Now, they got rid of the coordinator. They changed them twice. They got a new guy in there, Vic Fangio, who worked under me, is a good coach. We'll see how that happens. But at the end of the day, if this thing doesn't go well in Philly, yes, I think they're going to be tremendous. But if things start to head south on them, watch what happens. We're going to find out what they think of that coach. If things head south, and to me, judging by what happened last year, that's not a good thing. Can the Niners make it back? They can make it back, but they better watch out for the Lions. Lions were a better team last year. They shouldn't want that game. The Lions unfortunately have the fifth week they're playing there by. And I think that's for them to go all the way through and having a fifth week by, that's going to be tough sledding. If they get that number one seed, then that's different. But I like the Lions, because I think they've been proved by leaps and bounds on defense, certainly the Niners are right there with them. But I think a team like Seattle has improved, too. I don't think people give Seattle enough credit, so we'll see how they do. I love, you know, Gino Smith was a guy that I had for two years. He started for me for two years. And I remember when I left the building one day, Gino's coming in, he's coming in late, by the way. And I told him, I said, son, you got a chance. You're going to be an outstanding quarterback in this league one day. Unfortunately, it's not going to be for me. I never knew it was going to take him 10 years, but now he's back in. I think he does a nice job at playing quarterbacking and throw it with anybody. And now you've got three outstanding weapons that he can throw to, the little kid from Ohio State in a slot, then you got Locket, and you got Metcalf, and that guy with the three-word guy, he's pretty good and you got a good back. So I think that offense is really good. I think their defense will be much improved, will be 100% better than that crap they were laying out there the last couple of years. So I think that defense or that team's going to be really improved. And I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed San Francisco for that division.
