We are the old school crew coming at you live 1040, old street. We are at the Mecca Sports Radio here in the great state of Nebraska. We are brought to you by the Mercado Certified Piedmontage, Special Engrids and Butcher Shop, 84th and Havlock, 30th and Yankee Hill, 85th and Andre Matt, and 168th and Maple. It is Wednesday. Essentially, we are in the sea two days, essentially 48 hours. Essentially from a game. Three sleeps. Yeah, and Christmas will be here soon. But before that, we're going to talk some NFL business. There was a trade. I said it was another trade where Anthony Richardson essentially, you know, got traded to the bench. And then I think I look at his trades. Anytime you make a move at that type of position quarterback, you are essentially, you're trading one quarterback for another and you're trading a different version of whatever the quarterback that's being benched or promoted or demoted. Then obviously the Panthers have decided to stick with Bryce Young. And so when you look at it, Anthony Richardson now knows that he is on notice to job interviews. You know, he's got to make himself enticing to another organization. There's nothing that the Colts or the head coach or offensive coordinator should or could say to him right now. Now, some of it's on him. Maybe a lot of it, right? His conditioning is on him. And maybe he didn't understand the magnitude. And this is what happens when you draft a player that's immensely talented, like physically, but doesn't have a lot of experience. Right? I mean, because you got to think Anthony Richardson had one of these typical, like a Keeley Smith. I don't know if you remember Keeley Smith draft stories where you didn't hear about them. I mean, you knew who he was, right? When they do the pregame, like Herb Street or something. I remember when they played Wisconsin, they'll talk about him or I think it was Utah or whatever it was. But he was like, okay, he's a good athlete and he's got a good arm, but I don't think he's going first round. Well, then he has one of those draft stories and he goes number four. Probably was a little bit overshot the runway. So then you have, you know, in the office side, you have Bryce Young, who has a lot of talent, has a lot of experience, has the Moxie, is the guy that you could think that could lead an organization no matter where it's at. The owner liked him. Everybody else want to see Jay Stroud, but it didn't really matter if the owner liked him because the owner is not a good owner. And so therefore, he's not in a good situation. Right? You brought in a new coach that Bryce, he obviously didn't like Bryce. Bryce wasn't, didn't fit his eye, benched him very early. And everybody was like, Oh, the Red Raider Dalton is founded. He found that everybody knows once you put a new quarterback in a new system, they're going to do well because they don't have any tape. That's the way it goes. And so you got two quarterbacks at the same place in the careers, but oddly different, right? Bryce Young probably wanted to be traded at some point in time. Didn't. I'm sure there's places he would like to be besides Carolina right now. And then now, Anthony Richardson, who came off back off, I think, a concussion, right? Or what was it at his original injury that Flacko got it? Was it? No, it was concussion last year. Yeah, concussion on the shoulder last year. And then what was it this year? Because remember, he was practicing and wanted to start. And then he wasn't. Well, either way, he thought that, okay, pretty much they went back to him because they were like, you are a franchise quarterback. Well, once you once you got too tired, then the franchise made a drastic move. Now, I want to ask you guys opinions. Did the coach sign off on this because he knows he could be gone? Because I mean, Joe Flacko is playing good and Joe Flacko is the better quarterback. Look, he's better than Deshawn was, but obviously just money kept Deshawn there. And then they signed James for more or less money. Let's be honest, Joe Flacko is better than Richardson right now. But you only go to a 40 plus year old quarterback. When you know you have to start stacking wins so you don't get fired. Well, but that is that it? Shouldn't that? This is where this is where I find it interesting with the with different NBA pocket. NFL pocket. Winning the most games that season should always be. All right. Like I don't I don't understand tanking. I don't understand. Hey, you know, growing pains. Right. That sort of thing that it means that somewhere along the line, either the talent doesn't get enough and we can't develop it or we just don't know what we're doing. So often I had this conversation three weeks ago sitting right. He's that right here at the desk and he said, well, who would you rather have? You know, Flacko or Richard? Well, it wasn't even close. It wasn't close. Yeah, and they're four and four right now. So there's a potential they could sneak in the back door at a play off. Well, it is. Mathematica. You've given yourself a chance to have success now, which is the thing in the lead where people pay you to win football games. People support you. These are paid professionals at the highest level at the highest level. We're not talking about, you know, wreck ball. We're not talking about travel ball. We're talking about the highest level. So if you tell me the Colts can't win now, you have all the wrong people making this. Well, right now, what are the 17s getting to play? Seven. Seven. So right now they're eighth and the Chargers have played one less game. So right now that's why they're making the move. They think they still have a chance. It's that thing that you would ask Jay Foreman. Hey, if you're in that locker room, you're starting linebacker on that team. You've been there where you look at the coach and say, that's not the decision best for us. It was Richardson. Yeah. Like you would go, that's not the best decision. The best decision we want to win. We're playing our butts off. We're playing our tails off. We're making sacrifices, blood and bruises and injured bones. We're trying to find doing business, don't know what kind of business you do. But Jay knows he's talked about being in the locker room and recognizing, listen, I can like young David Carr, but he doesn't give me the best chance to have success now. And if Jay knew the length of his career, Jay would have said, Hey, man, I got four more years left. Yeah, if I knew the end was out, I would have probably left. I would probably would have almost maybe left left, excuse me, for a little less money, knowing that I could make it up getting in a better winning situation. And you have options. And see, this is the part that they're messing up the Jay Foreman's of that team. High level, competent professionals who, quite frankly, if you're in year six, you've got your bank right. Yeah. And don't, don't waste my time, don't waste my opportunity. We can win. It's the NFL. Not everybody's going to win Super Bowl. We can make a run. And I'm willing to accept that premise. But then why draft Anthony Richardson in the first place? Why say what you said two years ago in the first place that you're willing to be patient, that you're willing to write it out, that you know they're going to be ups and downs. If you have a window roster and you want to win now, you lied. And here was the thing. And that's why I'm disappointed. If, if, look at what, so case, case in point, the 49ers said, we have to continually spend the wheel until we get the right choice. And we can start with a veteran quarterback, right? We have a guy that could, we know we can win half our games if he's good or bad. Then there's a young guy that has high potential but some flaws. And then we have the young super talent. What happened with them was they spun the wheel three times and then landed on Brock Purdy and it's a blessing, right? It doesn't always work that way. The commanders did a thing and listen, they told you, Mariota walked into, walked into before the draft, they had a dude who in their system thought they were going to win more games than they won last year, which wasn't a lot, but still a better deal, right? And then you find out that I've got to do. So I got to play him Carolina did it the worst way they could have possibly done it. I still believe in Jay, you can tell me what you think of it. I still think Bryce Young is going to be a star in the NFL. That's just. I think he needs to get to a better situation like immediately and and Josh and Davey you asked. Yes. Do you do you understand David Tepper? No. There is nobody. Nobody does. Nobody does. I mean, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's sad. I mean, Eric on here, Eric, Eric on text notes, he said, Jay, Jay had worse awareness of Brian. You know, you know, I just, it's tough, man quarterback, you, you are a predator. Your career will make it, it'll make a break. You will address you. And I felt like the Colts had a great rock. I still feel like they have a good, good roster. I mean, I think they have a, I think they have the best roster. That can challenge Houston, you know, top to bottom. I like everything they do. I like their offensive line. I like their, you know, running backs. I like their receivers like their defense. Um, I just think Anthony Richardson was never ready. Um, I don't even know necessarily to be honest with you if he's mature enough. I don't, I don't think he's very mature. So it depends on what you mean by mature. I think he has a good head on his shoulders. I don't think he's ready for the responsibility. Yeah. That's what I'm. Looking for a place where you can grow a rewarding career, look no further.

He's a great kid. He's a good locker room guy, but might not be ready to stand up underneath the weight. Is that what we saw at Florida? We don't know. We didn't see a lot of Florida. You see a lot of Florida. See, here's the thing. People go through and they make decisions based on what they want to do anyway. And it's to their core, to their personality profile. And you look at the leadership of the culture and that was where I knew that was going to happen because they were going to draft what made them comfortable, not what was best for the team. So I'm going to say yes and it was also a break of character from ballad. The GM is on a should be on a hotter seat than the head coach. I can spend there for a year and six games. Chris Ballard's been there for seven or eight years. This is the guy that ballad put the chips in on who was in charge, who's in charge or say that point, right? That part. Right. Forget about forget about the chess, but the checker players, the check checkers pieces. That wasn't it. Just like temper, just like Snyder, just like Jerry Jones, just like Davis, there's certain owners that it doesn't matter, listen, you temporary in part time. And that's not the way to build the franchise. Listen, you're going to make bad leadership will constantly make the same consistent bad decisions. We've talked about it at Nebraska. We've talked about it around the league. The leadership has to be, you've got to choose people who won, know your mission, capable of the mission, honor the mission, and none of those situations, whether it be in the Carolina, et cetera, are they willing to tell the owner, hey, man, we're not coming to work for you. That's when Snyder finally decided to leave DC when good coaches, quality coaches and quality players told you everything works about this except you. Then they go, you know what? I can't do the job. I need to get out of here. I need to go take my billions and build another ship until then, Jay Foreman would bang his head against the wall at a defensive coordinator who's thinking more about keeping his job than making Jay Foreman, helping Jay Foreman win games and prolong his career. Yeah. Just, you know, the indie thing, it's weird because you got to go all the way back to Phillip Rivers. Like, they didn't even try to, Phillip Rivers was pretty damn good there. Luck, Brissette, Rivers, Wentz, Ryan Minshiel. Right. But I was saying what, what I'm saying, you got a Hall of Fame quarterback in Phillip Rivers. And I choose the playoffs. To the playoffs. A first down away from beating Buffalo, right in Buffalo, literally off the couch. Do was like coaching and then you didn't even try to even entice him to come back. I mean, he said all types of records as far as like the, the short amount of time when he was playing. So right there, it started their rear as ugly head. Then you were like, okay, let's try to be the Raiders of Indiana, Indiana and retread Carson Wentz when you had a young, you had a, you had a, this roster right now was very young. That would have been the time to draft the project quarterback. Right. But then now you go get the guy that, that was a bad teammate up in Philly and you bring him in here. And then hold on, and then, hold on, here's the best part. All he had to do was win one game down the stretch and they went down to Jacksonville. Remember, right? Yeah. And the Raiders and then the Jack. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. He had to win one game. Lost the Raiders and the Jaguars who both the Jaguars was inexcusable. It was like nine to six. Yeah. Okay. So there, then you were like, okay, well, we're going to have to take Gardenom issue because he still has some fans in Jacksonville. Boy. And that's the guy that we're going to lead us out because he's going to be the. Well, Richardson started. Then he got hurt. Then they had to turn him into. Okay. Okay. Then you, okay. Then you had Richardson and men shoot. And who actually did? He's kind of like new like, what's it's magic or whatever his name is. Hold on. And then you just threw up in my mouth a little and then you and then you drafted the Richardson and it was like Jim or say it was like, okay, here's the quarterbacks that have been successful here at Indy start, Peyton, Andrew Luck and Williams. They felt rivers and a little bit would present until he got hurt. He was a good game manager. All four of them have an in common pocket pastor, really cerebral as you have two Hall of Famers. I considered like a Hall of Famer, but obviously, Peyton, man was three of the four Hall of Famers. Okay. If you want to go to the four, you still got two Hall of Famers and your walk to your walk to your building. And it's pretty much three with luck, right? But then now we're going to go get the guy because if you go back and it had to be Lamar Jackson MVP year, then he thought that he's going to get that it had because. It had to be Cam or somebody for you to draft Richardson right at number four. You had to think I can have that in this dude because even Jalen hurts that's you Steichen developed in Philly. Well, that's who it is. Well, then that's on Steichen. He need to go because I am not sold that Richardson was Steichen's first pick, but whoever made the decision and why ever they made the decision, they were wrong. Like that, that either you're thinking behind it was wrong, right? Maybe you thought, listen, I have enough talent. I got enough Jay Foreman's in the room to win no matter as long as my quarterback doesn't terribly suck. We're going to be in this fight, right? And you sold Jay, like you went to Jay and you asked Jay, hey, man, are we good enough? Do we need a quarterback, what kind of quarterback do we need, Jay Foreman? And Jay Foreman to tell you, hey, listen, man, I need, I need 21 points. Jay, I tell you, hey, man, get me 24 points a game, give me your 21 points a game. And then Jay feels like him and his group could shut people down and battle enough for them to go to the play. I'll come have success. So Jay, whoever had the decision, whoever they talked to, they got it wrong. And it happens, think about it from this perspective, two thirds of the league gets it wrong every year. Two thirds of the NFL gets it wrong every year. The problem is there's no penalty. Well, especially when it's the owner, the owner's not going to take the penalty. There's no, there's no punishment. We, we look, we can rattle off eight organizations that haven't been good and long enough with such consistency. And somehow they get the revenue share from the rest of the NFL. The top third, the top third pays them to suck. And if you're the business owner, you're in such good business. Hey, man, how much money y'all spend it? Because I'm putting that in the bank. My 48% and your 48% are not the same, but they're the same. Like, I'm going to the bank because these dummies are still going to show up and support the team. They're going to wear the jerseys. Cause guess what? It's the only, listen, I got to go get my 56 form in Jersey. So would you rather, would you rather, they felt like they needed a quarterback, right? Now I'm sure there's some veterans they could assign, but God forbid they do that. So it came down to for them between Richardson, unless they were able to pull off a huge trade. So it's either Richardson, Will Levis, next quarterback was Hayden Hooker, who's still in the field. So, you know, he doesn't really remember, he was coming off a hurt knee. And then the other, the next quarterback didn't go off until like late, right? There wasn't a lot of the court. It was a quarterback week. It was a week quarterback draft that you wonder why he went so high is because of that. But Jay, if it's a week NFL quarterback draft and you are in the position and you need a quarterback, that's been in what for some sort of quarterback, right? You want your flawed, because you're in need to your, your, your, if you don't know what kind of needs you're in, cause, uh, I don't know who, who you thought your offense was going to be. I'm not sure who you thought your offense coordinator was going to be. Hey, by the way, that one decision also affects the quarterback coach, the running back coach and the receivers coach. Hey, better talk to a J form in the offensive line coach because he can tell me what kind of quarterback he can block for, right? Hey, running back coach, uh, listen, you're going to carry us or is this do go have to be a playmaker? So all of that stuff in play is the, all of the decisions that happen. And then there are too many dudes in the room who can't get in the J form in his head or in the room to have a conversation with your smart leadership and say, what, what should we do? Yeah. I mean, it's, it's interesting man, cause you know, you can ruin, uh, as graded of accomplishment, it is the goal number one, it can ruin your career. Um, and then sometimes, you know, the, the, the, let's just say the goal line is pushed for different people, pushed her, you know, moved obviously for different people. So it's like where I think David Carr was playing his best football when he went and was back up back Carolina and then he went and learned how to, you know, play or what, what it meant like to be a champion with the Giants. Bryce Young might not get that chance. He's, he might be like a, a trivia question and he, he deserves to be, to get a chance to start man. And like I said, he needs to be up in Seattle. That's the perfect place for him. Um, but you know, nevertheless, anyways, good, good NFL stuff, we're going to take a quick break, come back and, um, you know, we'll, we'll dive into some more NFL stuff and what that trade means for, uh, Baltimore. Why did they, why do you trade for a receiver at this point in time of the year, uh, when you have a Zayflowers, Bateman, uh, and you get an Andrews back. There's something, uh, lurking there in, in, in, uh, Baltimore, what they're trying to do. Jay Foreman, DP Austin, we'll be right back. Americans are durable.
