Oh, he's in delight to talk to Mike Florio and he joins us now on the Eturo Tire Hotline. Eturo your hometown tire Eturo.com. Michael, good morning. How are you? Oh, great. How are you? Doing well. We live the dream and, you know, we're in Chicago, so we're wondering as we look at quarterback play around the NFL. Oh, wait a minute. You know, there's a guy used to be here who's three and oh, that's okay. We got the new superstar generational talent weight. There's another guy who did pretty well last night kind of that put together an historical performance. Did the Bears go for the Bryce Young pick instead of the CJ Stroud and Ha ha. It's a joke. What do you think? Yeah, I don't think it's time to declare that Jayden Daniels is going to be better than Caleb Williams, but the reality is in any other year, Daniels would have been the number one overall pick. And when we were at the scouting combine, interviewing players, when we talked to defensive players who were in the SEC and they were asked the question, who's the best opponent you ever faced? No hesitation, Jayden Daniels. So we saw last night what he can do and they're working him toward his ceiling. They're working him toward the point where the game slows down. They trusted him with the game on the line. Third and seven, two minutes and 10 seconds left, didn't play it safe to take a field goal that would have put them up by eight points through to the end zone for the dagger. Incredible throw got blown up. Am I only concerned about Jayden Daniels? And this harkens back to Robert Griffin the third 12 years ago. You run a lot, you get hit a lot. Every time you get hit, there's a chance that something's going to snap. And I would be losing sleep about that possibility if I was a commander's fan. So Mike, you know how it works in the NFL, three straight losses and everything changes for everybody. The bears are one bad loss at home against a Rams team that's really injured and compromised, but coming off a big victory. They're one loss away from being in a three-game losing streak and having everything be doubted about everybody. How hot will the seat get from that eberfluice if the bears lose their third in a row Sunday? I began compiling last night a Bill Belichick watch list and I'm accepting recommendations and nominations and applications for the teams to be on it. And right now, my list consists of the Jaguars, the Bengals, although they're too cheap to pay them. The Cowboys, the Giants, the Eagles, and the Bears. I don't know that you want to go to Chicago. I don't know that the fans would want him. I don't know that ownership would want him. But if quarterback play is one key ingredient, the presence of Caleb Williams would presumably attract him. So this is the reality when the expectations are high and they got out of control for the Bears when they're high. And that's how you're always judged. Coach of the Year is the guy who does the most relative to the low preseason expectations and the guys who get fired are the ones who do the least relative to high preseason expectations. And the expectations were too high for the Bears. So if they struggle, if they end up in the basement of the division and given the way the Vikings are playing who on paper look to be destined for fourth place in the NFC North, that's the kind of thing they can get somebody fired, especially once ownership and executives start to put together in their own mind, the guy they want to go out and hire to replace the current coach. So we've been talking about our division here in Chicago, the NFC North, and we're trying to figure out who's the who's the better coach of the year candidate? Is it Kevin O'Connell for what's going on in Minnesota? Or is it is it the flower for what's going on in Green Bay, winning without a quarterback? Well, Matt McFloor never has gotten serious consideration to be coach of the year, even though he could have won it two or three times. And think about the calming influence he brought about working with the delicate genius of Aaron Rogers, getting the most out of that team. I think I put him on the ballot last year when they made it to the playoffs. I may have put him on the ballot the year before, but Jordan Love is probably going to be back in the next three weeks. We originally reported week four, week five, week six is when I'll come back from that ACL sprain. But to get the most out of Malik Willis, a guy that the Titans gave up on him in hindsight, maybe he should have gotten more of a chance to become the starter there. Yeah, it's impressive. But the expectations were higher overall for the Packers. It gets back to my point from earlier, the Vikings were expected to be the worst team in the division. If they keep doing what they've done so far this year, and it's incredible to see offensively and defensively, arguably the best to right now, play designers, play colors, offensive and defensive and Kevin O'Connell, Brian Flores. Then that sets so Connell up to be the coach of the year, Mike speaking of number one overall draft picks. What the heck happened to Trevor Lawrence? This is a fascinating wrinkle. And I'll tell you how it happened because when we do our show every morning, we have a rough outline of what we're going to do. And then we just kind of let the spirit move us. And I got an email last night from a former offensive coordinator who I must keep nameless on Lawrence. And I'm going to paraphrase it. He does not play the game with a passion. When he was first drafted by the Jaguars, he did mention that football was not his priority in life. And despite that generous and undeserved second contract, he definitely plays like football is not a priority. Now that's a reference to comments that were made by Trevor Lawrence to sports illustrated right before the draft, where he said, I don't have a chip on my shoulder. I don't try to prove people wrong. I don't think that's healthy. And then there was some other comments by his dad. He could walk away right now and be fine. And he created a little bit of a dust storm at the time. Didn't change Jacksonville's desire in making the number one overall pick. But when you see where he is right now, where the team is right now, and you know, he's kind of chill last night after the game, they got their asses kicked. They got embarrassed on national TV, 47 to 10. You want to see something that has him driven and motivated and determined and capable to turn this around. They got short week come home from Buffalo after mechanical issues delayed their flight until after 1am got to turn it around and go to Houston this weekend against the Texans team that just got its ass kicked by the Vikings and will be extra motivated to win. I think people are going to want to see the fire from Trevor Lawrence. They want to see him earn that $55 million a year. Last night was horrible. The quarterback isn't the one who gets fired because of it though. It's the coach. And when the owner came out as shotgun did and said before the season, this is the best team the Jaguars have ever put together and the expectation is to win now. I think by next Tuesday, when we do this, we can be having a conversation about Doug Peterson getting fired by the Jaguars the day before. Mike, you're the best. Thank you, buddy. Thanks, Mike. Thanks guys. That is Mike Florio. Good stuff. Wow. Yeah, that's really would be a strong move, but they are really struggling in Jacksonville. And you hear Doug Peterson and he sounds like a beaten man. Plug in a Hyundai EV and the extraordinary happens.
