Randy Cross, CBS Sports (Hour 3)

We are given a lot from the Iraqi mortgage Studios were they looking to purchase a new home or refinance yours rocket more dudes could help you get there for home loan solutions that fit your life well rocket can. This may be the most excited I've ever been to host this fine radio program.

This is your mental day. Maybe the biggest day of my lifetime, Roger Caddell, the commissioner of the National Football League. He sent out a memo today. I thought this was originally a ball sack sports article I thought this was an onion article I thought this was fake news, but Roger Caddell sent the message out a message from the commissioner and here was little excerpt from good afternoon. I see some reports calling the game tonight in Kansas City now hold on our Internet sucks in here go all fired up to give you this message from Roger Caddell and the next thing you know my stupid twitter pages are really the Internet. I guess it's just your networking well my dad that was up there just all the sudden I want to refresh and improve their so let me get this article because this is so important that I would not be doing my job if I did not get you this article back up here and now of course I can find this thing and not you got a love live radio sometimes. But anyway, long story short, Roger Caddell called this a monumental day for the National Football League and a historic day for the National Football League not to get wises monumental and wises a historic day for the National Football League and the reasoning was, because we have a game on Amazon prime video Michael once the commissioner doing I know now it's because the money of the CKC TV.

This stream of money and all that but the fact that they're referring to this as a historical day. Dad's a little bit too much for me that's kinda like when you have someone say we have a major announcement and nine times out of 10 whenever you say you have been a major announcement usually not a major announcement, usually some little change.

That is, it actually that big of a deal.

Now, in this case, this could just be confusing because this can be a lot of people as much as people do it all.

Yeah, everyone got Amazon prime and in all that prime video. A lot of people that tune into the Fox the niter NFL network with these games. But, alas, use internal thoughts readily admits Pirates baseball. I thought the NFL. I guess that about network at their own pregame show as well. Now, thankfully, our boss be a forked over the big bucks will get Amazon prime. I think it's like 60 bucks a month or 14 bucks a month and now I'm currently watching their pregame show with Richard Sherman. Ryan Fitzpatrick was always whining out and live Fitzpatrick by the way, the thick line for the day and let the torture without a waterslide incident.

He's dressed in a shirt that a man would go toward parking which I was a very interesting selection of the others of your choice. They're not Tony Gonzales is there. Do you know who the studio hostess.

Can we find out each eye. Since this is a monumental day in its historic broadcasts are not familiar under the studio hostess is easily no Fitzpatrick is you know who Richard Sherman is an then Tony Gonzales as well, but I'm not familiar with the Studios because it was reported, for what that's Carissa Thompson, Carissa Thompson was doing. Amazon prime.

So EJ tells me it's Carissa Thompson I would think that was on the air right got my year to try to make me look intelligent as I hope you are not I… I chose.

I have no clue if it's in my ear over there just get a microphone I'm asking a question and you could chime it, that's all right because were what I was going to be CAT scans Ganz and I read interview for manager Marsha M that K Adams. They just didn't get the deal done and then she try to get back with the network in some capacity but I always thought that was going to be K Adams occurs at times. That's a good hire for them to sell broadcast group absolute Richard Sherman is excellent and is great to have on right now because Monday nights will be talking point he can't stand Russell Wilson Fitzpatrick, you know, everyone likes Fitzpatrick even though he's crying about Tom Brady not shaken his hand. Tony Gonzales is on TV for years, ever since retiring, he was on CBS foxy needs. He's got all over the place so that's a good broadcasting crew.

I wonder what the numbers are to be a writer report today that it's against the Libby Nielsen ratings, but they're knocking to come out for a week, but I wonder how much of an adjust up naturally everyone to know how to get to it in bit hiccups as I still think it's good to do a mega number but I do wonder what if you compared to a previous Thursday night game for much essay week two of last year to then week two of this year. With this new shift to Amazon prime and the gist of the ladle and the sports world with all the screaming and all that but it was the notice from the commissioner and then I'll let you go there. EJ, I see some reports calling tonight's game in Kansas City, a landmark event for the sports world and the beginning of a new era whenever you want to call the tonight's matchup between the charts and she's broadcast exclusively on Amazon prime marks a historic moment medical history and are all part of it is a question what don't be sycophant writer and Jenna felt that but who was basically genuflecting to the NFL. And this is in quotes, a landmark event for the sports world and the beginning of a new era severe show for the NFL was actually writing was feeling. You must be someone who's not a like a sports writer like maybe someone like tech business or in the business, sports, business journals are laid on its own. Maybe, not lame because otherwise Wall Street Journal something like the Washington Post fancy public a high meet times of Micah streaming. Lately we've all got now the NFL's taking it to a Intuit uncharted territory but for if your college football fan people I deal with ESPN3 forever.

Now if you are a baseball fan vent to watch that crappy Apple TV production this year where I would just mute the broadcasters and then just pop up the local radio feed so it's not as if there may NFL's doing this for the first time, but did not.

To this level on Thursday night football but it's not as if wow, this is groundbreaking.

This is the greatest thing to ever happen to know what else never done it before, but I think that having some that though is confidence in that this Amazon presentation is pretty Bonsall for you just mentioned Carissa Thompson and Richard Sherman like her cursing out Michael. To me this is pretty major. I feel like a part of this lot.

We have this on the TV screen right now if I just walked into the studio. Other than seeing the Amazon logo on the Amazon prime no clue the difference from this being Thursday night last year to the Thursday night now so you say that, but I was actually with our boss trying to get this on ATV so I have very much an aspect of this is very different from however only yes I'm cognizant of that. But this was done for me so I'm sit right down. What can I go over the personnel in different words that home is doing what me and I guess is that it was a laborious process will have big word that everywhere there it was. It was a lot. It wasn't nothing so I think that now for three syllables. There is a big word for no-show but you know what it is a monumental historical back because Spike was almost 6 PM. Trying to get this thing working very rarely in radio with the boss he gets in her life. 530 going to get a beer at 6 PM and be in the newsroom and be on the ground being a regular guy the big pot to the big boss and he was typing in the password username showing you how to get it up on the screen that was in front of you and I shot thereby spike absolute historical data object fell, but a historical day. If you think of my twitter search this right now and I just twitter search Amazon prime now, let's be fair.

Twitter, nine times out of 10 it's negative. Do you think most people that are tweeting right now are just like this is great this is awesome or I can find the game tweeting Fox world are you NFL network. Where are you what you think the sense on twitter is coming twitter is a stream or hate. So even if this thing looks pretty cool so far is still good to behave on twitter that's is what twitter does.

I can't read some his response ability to go.

Someone actually tweeted me that there is a twitch stream where if you don't want to pay for the game. The twitch stream. You can click on it and some of his free. How is that easier than Amazon. I don't know to me that like like Chuck time telling your your your sticky five euro grandpa.

Hey, I know Amazon you having trouble with it but don't worry, you can get on twitch.

I think that's because you're single because it's a direct link like the guy just read me the link I click on the link to them I thought was mid December 1. I go of this, will they tell you… If they'll officially email it was it was on my personal computer okay and I click the link and it took me right to the twitch stream and it was right there which are not to condone that way of using it.

I may or may not.

Once I leave her since I don't have Amazon prime video because even though I'm young on white stock in the year of 1948 and I was never even a thought back then.

I may or may not be clicking on that link when I leave tonight and walked out of the studios where we have it paid here for. That's all always been kind of why I am surprised the NFL surprised by kind of always wondered money no money they care about the family never care about the final but what about the money. When you have people doing these extremes and other streams to get a outside outside of the Amazon yeah but Amazon's paying a fortune for this right then and there to pay a fortune if this goes well for probably someday take it in there be a big bidding war for that and all that and I took the other day so I in for by common and we get all the games here, but I like to have my iPad with my Sunday ticket account so I could go put the quad box on the screen and get more games Sunday ticket their apps suck the first half of the games is a national problem, not just as I feel problem there was a messenger to close to the stadium or you're in this day I have seen for the first half I could even use my iPad I to rely on the TV here. But then, if the weather is a problem problem with DirecTV that becomes oldish is so I do wonder what the response is good to be tonight. But since you set it up and thank you for setting it up and spike as well when I'm looking at this right now it looks like a regular Thursday night football Sunday night football telecast but it's like you're damned if you do in your damned if you don't because if you do Apple Apple did with MLB that is not like a normal baseball game water. Here's the broadcasters on Apple TV with horrible like people telling me broadcasters don't matter was anyone clowning Joe Buck and Troy Aikman Monday Night Football on know it does matter telling you it's the end-all be-all. I want to watch the game, but when you have like Jason Whidden and Joe Testa traumatic constable, not the NFL and you had Bulger McFarlane in their that was just let's go clown those guys because it was a horrible broadcast right if you just give me a competent level announcer. It's good and then you give me a stolid duo like an Aikman in a block no one for to be criticizing and critiquing the Monday Night Football broadcast this year. Now Amazon Apple TV didn't do a baseballs Apple TV didn't make it as if this was huge in this was great like they said it was innovative but then the broadcasters in the style.

It was it was different was bizarre, especially baseball, not a game that's really conducive to change as we seen in the target audience for good and bad and I'm not against change, but for this we just set it would Carissa Thompson Richard Sherman Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tony Gonzales for a pregame show comes up. I was even able to hear but just the looks of this. Right now Charles Michelle I can listen to it just the looks of it right now looks solid and then you're one of the crème de la crème announcers and now Michael's and Perper truly did some NFL but is been a star college football announcer, so it feels big and you know the production of it is good to be good like AppleTV.

The actual broadcast look cool right but they announcers and I was like what is this a baseball game at what's going on here.

So tonight we have the charges in the cheese. This is good to be game where the way I've been talk about it.

It's a statement night for the Chargers and it's a reminder for Kansas City to remind the rest of the NFL, just like they did last last week yeah Tyree kills not there anymore were still a great football team. This is a heckuva matchup in the AFC West. These are the two best teams, Broncos and also in one week did not look good on Monday night. Raters carpenter intercepts a chance to win a little Mac and three sacks and a forced bumblebee could go by. I believe these are the two best teams in this division and these games these AFC West games are absolutely massive.

There's no data anytime a team AFC West places here. It's massive and maybe a stork monumental for the Commissioner but when they play up against their own division. Those games it feels like to games instead of one game just because of the importance there is with how good we believe this division to debate tossing college football on the other side right now is for CBSSports Randy Cross join us next was accurate and exact yelp show coast-to-coast on CBSSports radio we have the charges and chiefs underway on Thursday night football the kickoff week two, and also get another big weekend of college football, let's chat with the former offense alignment UCLA played his NFL ball with the same Cisco 49ers with a bunch of super balls, not as a great job for CBSSports for a long time. That's Randy Cross radio is great to talk to you. How are you are under a well that life are you on Instagram's always know that you are the man to go to when it comes to food. What you cooking up this weekend because I love your Instagram account a lot of progress where I'm calling Vanderbilt Northern Illinois on Saturday through our money in the proctored food get into beautiful DeKalb, Illinois right now so I will be away from my trusty tomato. Joe available wall builder will build doing until Sunday, so Sunday when when you get ready to take out what you think is good is cooking for Sunday some burgers. I'm not going to do a little exotic emerald pork belly all we could see us together into crosses no doubt about that jolted Alabama last week it was closer than I expected, even with the Quinn Ewers injury made it even more of an impressive performance by taxes is that concerning what you saw from Alabama was that just one of the games that it's good to be close and they survive so you move on. I'll look at it more in the latter category had Alabama wanted the job dominant from the Joe and did nothing but get better in the other one got some spots where you look at them and go well they look like they're gettable you better get them early, but they could be gettable and they looked gettable against Texas. Now all protect us and say I hope they don't get too overconfident about that. That effort, but I know one thing Nick Sabin will have his guys working all week long and they will for the next several weeks, so they were, they will improve and they'll rectify that situation. I I'd I don't take what they did is a weakness, though I do that. I do think Georgia deserve the jump of the number one we get to Kentucky football. I'm so impressed by Mark stoops seven Sandifer years, he's one of the more underrated coaches in the country. I want to victory that was especially defensive what they were able to do against Anthony Richardson that help you look completely different than he did the week before… So confident and so dominant and then flip the script. It was there was that it was a great effort by Kentucky to build a defense. The fast and they're very physical and your big tackle really well there fundamentally strong current of all the above offense of blueberry mastery. I mean there will love can do a lot of traffic and throw the ball well but they haven't offense of line that could go toe to toe with anybody there.

Toe to toe with anybody there.

It applies across the board nationally inspected and it's a little bit now. The last two years about Mark stoops's next job.

Naturally, Nebraska opens up the Scott Frost firing everyone's now talk about Mark stoops and Matt Campbell. If I'm stoops are you leaving for Nebraska now when you've done that good of a job at Kentucky wouldn't you wait for little bit of a bigger job. You are not sure to step up for the older brother step up the old old Nebraska is a long time ago and a lot of failure ago. I think you be crazy Kentucky I think you're gonna see several coaches get contract out an extension. Because of this availability, so you're not only did it cost Nebraska about eight dollars fire their head coach earlier. Talk a lot of schools little bit extra particular to have to give their coaches some extra love your eye is the rock hard sell really hard shell. You know mild my mind I beat Brian Jones, BJ. He's of the opinion that a guy like Deion Sanders would be no choice for Nebraska and I'm not sure if he is not right I you arrived at this point they need to go out of the box.

They need something that a medical/especially recruited because there is nothing of the old Nazi old saying when it comes to Nebraska. Maybe somebody is really going take them back to Randy Cross look at the Jimbo Fisher tenure so far with Texas A&M they lose last week that state to fall. The 24th the country and they have a big game this weekend up against Miami will result quietly, cheaper government somewhat in me since the records recalled, Florida cheaper and more right is not much of the of the different and I for all the things you finally Nick Sabin beats him. I did it is hard to put your finger on the morning are pretty quiet but country Bob Bob Loblaw well it has been translated and it better to start translating pretty fast and that's all I know is you know for what there for what they paid not only the coach but only are also the players in today's world.

Some people demanding a lot better results so far. Randy Cross here with us when we look around the first few weeks of the college football season so far. Michigan's been another one of those hot button teams. I know that they played two cupcake schools that are good to go with JJ McCarthy. Is there a big gap there. I know they just beat Ohio State but for this year. Had he kind of the Ohio State against Michigan. Not quite on a level par I don't think you know I'm sure Harbaugh would argue that a lot of blue and argue with that but I think Ohio State is right there toe to toe with Alabama and Georgia and the rest of and I not really quite sure Michigan in that class as we sit here and they got a lot better, really have there.

I will see if they can grow is definitely worth keeping your saying that after the much more can start thinking of those will be fun or likely never really been what you recall exactly compelling to watch. Talking to Randy Cross for Georgia. They they look like they're the best team in the country after Stetson Bennett. I think he's a disrespected quarterback and you look at the defense, how much they loss. I know it's very early in the season for them to get to know annihilate Oregon. The way that they did Sanford.

It is what it is. George's impressed me, which is kinda crazy because I just won the national championship yeah will will point out this weekend off a lot. You look at traditionally, South Carolina for about a nuisance program. Here we thought they were really good. South Carolina really really well. I think of yours to take them and slap them like they likely played so far, like you did a lot of the year last year benefit a lot a lot of people are going to start buying into the fact that they are clearly the number one team in the country and I tried to tell a lot of people now see that defense might be just as good if not better than it was last year and they thought I was smoking something like five number one fixing the trap well that defense is really good and all Stetson Bennett did gloved phone for over 300 yards a couple times a bunch of touchdown. His job will still be in the big game and in the games when I go to the really good schools. His job is not mess up the manager type guy.

I don't think that's changed much. But I'm glad for him to get the credit though so last week ever was excessive over farming of Florida lost everyone's talking about Kentucky when you look at that third-best team in the SEC behind Georgia and also Alabama Tennessee also had a nice win in overtime up against. How good do you think Tennessee could be this year. When you look at the ladle into the SEC why I think with Michael and quarterback in the way that they can play games with you looking for the vehicle line of scrimmage really good skill player. I I am really again. Can you weekend and week out, show up and overcome mistakes and what you give yourself time. Another team I put right there with Tennessee. Honestly, you're out of the west is Arkansas yeah I yeah I tell you what you know. Maybe you say is a lot of fun exposing me everything For the kickoff where Richardson left off and didn't really follow-up deal in his game, but Jefferson's produce is grown from his drunken pump truck back a few years ago in 2021 sent to them was Heidegger Arkansas everyone was clad in that higher. He really was a good fit for them what you were making so good. Those that is something that we we all talk a lot about layoffs, even, and you know actually that was the number-one class in the country a great recruiting but Dan Pittman is a master class wrote recruited and you're saying the result in an is good news is good news.

Georgia was the line of scrimmage and is good. They were general a lot of the credit goes big Isaac that live on the road those college coaches were 20 hour days are coaching the guys I got now in their bag and the other ones that are still in high school to come in and enjoy a greater recruiter anywhere in the country and I thought it was a smart hire bye-bye Arkansas undertook in the early results to more friendly crossing with us a great job covering college football for CBS CBSSports for Brian Kelly terrible start up against Florida State what your expectations and your one that the rest of the way for Brian Kelly at LSU.

I think that and they should be tempered. I'm not expecting much nearly pretty obviously doesn't have himself a Joe Burrell that's necessarily have two major parties left over the elders vary from stuff to address person some deal.

What are they, that's what you have to think about when you look at them in the past they fell off so precipitously last year and became kinda average so quickly after all those guys left the list.

The shelves were in stock they were restocked they were there. The next one was in the next guy out there was a man who to play the biggest thing and I think he knows it is really getting hammered home to them now. LSU fans are to like it but can't take them another year or so to get back to get to the NFL you being a 49er. Everyone's talking about Trey, Lance, you think he's gonna make it the entire season as the starting quarterback. Can I don't know if anybody really surprised Chicago don't do concentrated positive floppy +0 is often sublime. No one talks about. However, it is often sublime is an is often sublime, pretty dang average is good as Williams is a left tackle.

He can't make up for the other four guys and your there's a reason he ran from the ramp for the loser leading rusher a run well. MDE had to run so I think the kids given the okay if probably the best insurance policy in the NFC is not in the NFL is having him and he's being Jimmy G sit there backup and is a guided team like he's a guy that she knows they can get them. He can get to know championship game or Super Bowl level play what's what's the downside of that.

So Perkins on the kid but Shannon Lynch got it right to give up a lot to get there and I think you're going to have long-term patient for Red Cross appreciate the time. Thank you Robin is Randy Cross joining us and as I killed show on CBSSports radio is killed show on CBSSports radio not a lot of drama in the fireworks likely expected. So far, between the Chargers and she's two minutes left in this first quarter. Three. Nothing Chargers cheese had a 7 Play Dr. start things off.

They punted than the charges 111 Play Dr. and forth into a tent city's 13 that they like to kick the field of cancer to go through now to now it's 14 inches and Brandon Staley to be superduper aggressive at midfield and it pays off.

So now is not the biggest idiot in the world that if he didn't get it for a coach on fourth and inches of it was inches and it was fourth and an inch and went to Justin Herbert because his own number boom right over his center for first down for Los Angeles Chargers charges go up 10. Nothing here and go put the ball in the end zone. That's a heckuva start for Los Angeles Chargers now. No lead is safe up against the great Patrick Holmes and if you think I'm wrong. Go ask the Buffalo Bills who thought they were going to the AFC title game with only 13 seconds to go. I know Tyra kills no longer there but they were able to go tieback in the get into overtime and yet the Kelsey walk off in that great divisional game in the last postseason. So these two teams going at it.

Chargers and Chiefs.

We thought there would've been more points. So if you did that the over.

I did not make an over under bed or go any side in this game.

I just did some props in this one tonight I went three funky prop bets and I had Mike Williams first touchdown flared to score a touchdown. Mike Williams in the game tonight and that +700 and it got right down to the 1 yard line.

There's a flag on the plane I can hope this comes back we can't hear anything. I feel he has been the defense. I neatly Chargers don't look like they're all that upset. So far, so we'll see. Panetta taken Mike Williams off the field.

Come on.

I don't have a kid for going phase usually but in this guy calling for cooking will see what the call is and we hold on the defense. So that's good to be declined.

And that's good to be right at the 1 yard line. All there's two families on its Holden pass interference so counties declined make sense and that's good to be read at the 1 yard line-how that works. Now right at the 1 yard line. Is there any chance he got in here lets you see did he get in our 90s, clearly short, we hold on, not IACs brought down, so now you to get Arent the 1 yard line and I would imagine that there get a handle football off the Austin Eckler.

That's what I would anticipate here. They handed off and that's not something to show all that Sony Michel right down there yeah got cut and that they give the Sony Michel and he was stop short kind of hoping that they get three runs stuff and then they go through the football and get Mike Williams back because you know Staley's is good to go for that guy is so aggressive and he went for it on the fourth and inches and ended up working now this is where you gotta go get Austin Eklund again.

I took a weird that it was Austin Eckler test three touchdowns of the game is like absurd odds like actually just crazy odds that got three touchdowns because whenever there is a prime time game.

I feel like Austin Eckler just falls out and has a mega evening. So that's what I did. So I did. Austin equity score 3 or more touchdowns through a whopping four dollars on it at +1100 to 1 $48 that Mike Williams for the first touchdown scrape of five books on its 140 bucks and then this one. I got sucked in odds boost I could still happen were only 1/4 in, but we don't have it touchdown in the first quarter just came to a close. Holmes and Herbert over 2 1/2 passing touchdowns $25 to win 19 so will see what happens the rest of the way. But these two teams. These are the two best teams in the NFC West and I've been saying this all throughout the show for Los Angeles Chargers this is an early statement game. You beat the Raiders in week one, then you find a way to beat Chiefs that shows how legit you can be this year.

Not that anyone hands on the trophy the second week of the season and for the cheese to a brief reminder that were still here. Now you think you guys make the team this year. Nothing this year only get to these two quarterbacks up when you rank Herbert in the Holmes in the NFL now before the year so we did this in the off-season before we knew how long the Sean Watson suspension was by looked it up I Brady at one Rogers at two more homes three Allen for Russell Wilson five to Sean Watson six Joe Burrell seven Justin Herbert eight Matthew Stafford nine Lamar Jackson at 10 now I can read through this list yet to take Watson out of the conversation is Watson's after the first 11 games I would swap Stafford in the more I think I probably got caught up guy just one Super Bowl rams are just so dominant but I would swap Stafford and l'Amour. I rather have the more than Stafford.

When I look at her, but in the homes Brady until he retires will be my number one spot the guys led the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns at 44 years old and I was 45. So Brady to me.

So number one Rogers. I'm stoked to back to back MVP award winners Holmes he's in the top three cases. One, you can make cases to yell at you but that's just not right now. I put them at three at the end of the year, though I do wonder how far up the list. Herbert get a big because Josh Allen is clearly right at the table and Josh Allen Brady Roger Holmes Allen to me on the four best quarterbacks in football how you want to order them, go ahead and order them.

Whatever way you want for spot that fit spot is right up there for the taking on who's going to be the top five quarterbacks at the end of the year Russell Wilson did not have a good and you're getting a touchdown passing touchdown by Justin Herbert to his fullback sets can make it nine nothing for the Chargers. Nice job there because he got the Mike Williams but okay we get a fallback touchdown boom that's a passing score. One of the board for Justin Herbert. But we look at the top five quarterbacks at the end of the year Brady will be my conversation Rogers will be in our conversation, Josh Allen will be my conversation about your mom's been a conversation is not debatable. The question just becomes. Who's the fit person in the conversation. Sean's out the first 11 games.

So when he comes back in the cow great place. It's a small sample size Russell Wilson. I don't think it's click click as great as some people thought I think of the outside looking in regretful great quarterback but I don't think it's click click to the level that people may be thought in your number one that they could be a Super Bowl team. Just like the box did with Brady in your number one.

And just like Stafford did your number one with Los Angeles Rams Joe Burrell is a straight up dog is no offense of line and heal the sick, Cincinnati to go when a Super Bowl last year, they would have aligned and I could just blocked an extra half second unerring Donald one super boxer. March 8 is wide open so Burrell could be in the running. Justin Herbert if they win the division assure the air CYS help deftly be in the running, and I've mentioned this before, and it was Ryan Harris who said a few weeks or the DHL right has prepaid men and Ryan Harris, who is not some she'll for the Chargers organization like the bronco just heard some account of Québec he's ever seen he's ever seen. It's like bonkers because the guys with only for two years.

That's a highly people think of Justin Herbert just has to make plans, assure that you will make the playoffs.

I do believe that the market have a massive year. I think l'Amour people are sleeping on the ravens and people forget how good the Baltimore Ravens were last year with all those injuries and then you just pulled the carpet from underneath him and the rug from underneath them because you quarterback eventually got her and Holly was fine but not Lamar Jackson so I think at the end of the year.

We know Brady Raj Mahon Josh down to that list the three guys that are to really be in the conversation to be the fifth best quarterback in football it's either to be borough Herbert or the more and you go through that Brady Hennessey Rogers NSC Holmes ANSI Allen AFC and either borough Herbert or Lamar will be AFC and you have those two elder statesmen and Brady and Rogers were Brady I think this is his last year and then our Rogers. I think he's only playing one more year after this I play this year.

The year after that. And then he's done so really the three faces of the NFL moving forward.

It's going to be Mahon's. It's good to be Josh Allen and then whoever goes into that fit spot this year to take the time of those in the next three big faces of the league so that's another story line in this NFL season.

However get a view more at the end of the year Justin Herbert at the end of the year and then also Joe Burrell and to me it's a fascinating conversation because we can see somewhat of a finish line. Now on the Brady and Rogers career is over two guys you have to have in your top five to the end of the year will say Brady Roger Holmes Allen and then insert borrow Lamar or Herbert, but in two, three years from now they'll be some spots open in that top five because Brady and Rogers will finally be in retirement, not one that Brady dealer foxes get a Because Gisele wants to spend all the thanksgivings and all the birthdays and other football Sundays that everyone in the sky signs a €10 or $75 million contract to broadcast games moment he retires at Delta Cedar sports radio
