Getting ready for the season, I just want a couple questions and I'll let you get out of here, but your opinion, 2024, can anyone stop the Chiefs? The Chiefs can stop the Chiefs and here's my thinking is they've had two long, long seasons the last two years, going all the way to the Super Bowl, you're playing an extra two, three games, an extra, at least three games, I don't know if they ever played four, but an extra three games. And then, you know, the off season is a little bit shorter because all the hoopla of winning a Super Bowl and that and then you go into another season and so they've had two long years so far and you wonder, when is that going to catch up with them as far as maybe injuries are concerned and if they don't have a lot of injuries, if they can stay pretty injury free, not injury free, but any no major injuries, say to Patrick Mahomes or some of their key players, they have a chance to three-peat this thing. But I think that's going to be the biggest challenge to see if they can stay healthy because of how long their last couple of seasons have been to get to those Super Bowls. Can Sam Fran get back to the Super Bowl, are they good enough? They're another team that's been pretty healthy, you wonder if that's going to catch up with them as well and then they've got a lot of drama going on in their organization right now with the with the I-U situation, the wide receiver, they've got their big tackle, Leonard Williams is not not in camp and he is a he's a difference maker. He might be he might be elected the best player overall in the national football league for for any position because that's how valuable he is so they don't have him in camp right now they don't have a you can camp right now and then that becomes a distraction because the players are being asked about it all day every day, they're being asked about the Super Bowl loss from last year so if they can somehow quiet all that noise and get all those guys back in camp they have enough talent no question to to get back to it again but those questions have to be answered those two key players first of all and then just quiet in some of the noise that's in their camp. Last one you know I know as as players as a quarterback as a second base I pay special attention usually to the middle infielders the young guys coming up they catch my I want to see other their footwork is a compare it to generation to generation. I'm sure you pay special special attention to quarterbacks yep who's at all these young quarterbacks who are some of your favorite guys or if not who's your guy of this of these this young quarterback crop the NFL. Look this draft class has just came in yeah could be anybody just the young quarterbacks in the game today. The game is in really good shape at the quarterback position I mean you look at Lamar Jackson is 26 years old and he's already won two MDPs so he's got a tremendous future still ahead of him I think his best football as a passing quarterback is still ahead of him so he's somebody that I love watching definitely Patrick Mahomes again he's a guy that's 26-27 years old I love Justin Herbert but I think right now he's got a foot injury so he's not going to be out there for a while we have to see how that works for him but I think he's finally got a head coach that's going to get his team on the right track in Jim Harbaugh with the Chargers and I think you'll see his best football come out if he gets back on the field and healthy because I just don't think he had the right head coach that put him in a lot of tough situations but he's somebody that's very impressive as far as his arms as far as his legs Joe Burroughs a guy that I really like as well because you know of what he's already done in a short period of time but again two out of his first four years he's been hurt so he's got to stay healthy so that's the key in this in this game you've got to stay healthy and be available that's the most important thing you can do for your team as a quarterback especially especially the way the rules are geared towards a quarterback having to have success and you having to have a really good quarterback in order to be good in this league you've got to be available to your football team so those are some of the guys that I you know I really like looking at you know there's a lot of others but you know Trevor Lawrence this is gonna be a big year for him he just signed a huge contract and he's coming off of a so-so year but they still went ahead and paid him for the future so we'll have to see what he does you're coming into this season he was a number one overall pick when he came out a lot of expectations so let's see if he can live up to those expectations but he's definitely talented enough take your business further with a smart and flexible American Express business gold card you can earn four times points on your top two eligible spending categories every month like transit US restaurants and gas stations that's the powerful backing of American Express four times points on up to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in purchases per year terms apply learn more at american express dot com slash business gold card [MUSIC PLAYING]
