Right?

Brady versus Breeze.

Most intriguing matchup of quarterbacks this weekend.

It's a very intriguing matchup.

It's the marquee matchup.

I would not say it's the most intriguing, intriguing, like what arouses my curiosity the most is not this game, because I don't think this game will necessarily be decided by the quarterbacks.

I don't know what they're really is to decide here.

We both know they're great.

Tom Brady is the Goten Drew Brees going to the Hall of Fame, and you know, the state have already beaten the Bucks twice and their favorite to do so again at home, the Bills and the Ravens.

To me, it's Lamar Jackson vs Josh Allen.

That's the most intriguing quarterback matchup, because I'll tell you this.

Guys and I mentioned it earlier in the show.

Fair or not, the winner of that game.

When you talk about the top five quarterbacks in the league, the winner is going to be elevated to that spot.

The loser will be relegated below, even if you go back and look say well, actually, you know.

Lamar Jackson's team won, but Josh Allen played better or vice versa.

It's not gonna matter who's ever team wins this game.

That quarterback will be in the elite group that people could be elevated over the other one.

These are two excellent teams.

They both have Super Bowl aspirations.

Josh Allen's working with a little more on offense, and obviously, Lamar Jackson has more on defense.

But Lamar has gotten the monkey off his back, his third trip to the playoffs.

Could he win a playoff game?

Had to play the team that beat him last time, and he did it.

He did it, and we saw the market was awful.

In his first game in the playoffs, he was much better in his second game, and he won in his third game in the playoffs.

And Josh Allen, meantime, went from a guy who was not very good his rookie years.

Most quarterbacks aren't to a guy who was solid last year to an MVP candidate this year, and, in fact, Josh Allen and the Bills have replaced the Baltimore Ravens with Lamar Jackson as the team that most people would tell you is the biggest threat to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

For that reason, because of the position of the young stars in the NFL.

Because of the evenness of the matchup, I think that that's actually the most intriguing game, if not the most marquee this weekend.

You know, it's interesting.

I think one of the beautiful things about this show is that folks don't have just you to rely upon when we're talking about the dictionary, for example, when you use the word intriguing and you bring up the word curiosity or curious, Uh, there are other elements that come to the come attached to the word intriguing and other words that come along with the word intriguing.

One would be compelling.

Another would be captivating.

Those things are also fall under.

They also fall under the category of intriguing.

And I would say that when it comes to captivating and when it comes to compelling Max Kellerman not just curiosity or curious, but compelling and captivating, I would say Drew Brees and Tom Brady qualified Drew Brees gonna be 42 years of age.

This is it for him.

Already got a job in the booth waiting for him once he retires.

This could be the end off a dude that has thrown for over.

What is the 80,000 yards?

For crying out loud?

Something like that, I think I think that I think the number is right about 80,000 yards.

And he's about to say goodbye.

Fresh off of a season where he's completing 70% of his passes, it's not like he's just he's just done okay.

He's walking away when we look at Tom Brady 43 years of age.

I know you don't want to bring that up because we'd have to bring up the cliff in order Ravine.

And obviously, you know, you said that three years ago and then two years ago in there one year ago.

I understand.

That's if yeah, really?

That boy, that subject.

I understand that e don't blame you for not wanna bring it.

Don't bring you not wanna bring it up back.

But here's the thing.

He's 43 with the supermodel wife.

Yeah, Not only did he go get a mansion in Florida, Max, he got Derek Genus mansion.

Okay, that's what he did.

Okay, this is what Who is?

This is Tom Brady that we talked about.

Oh, by the way, by the way, the Tom Ford suits the supermodel wife.

And, oh, by the way, the Super Bowl is gonna be in Tampa in Tampa E I mean, those are the kind of things that we're talking about.

I'd say that's intriguing.

I mean, I think that when you look at Tom Brady, didn't you say we want to see what Tom Brady does without Bill Belichick?

Did you say that?

I think you said that.

I'm pretty sure you said that.

That would be intriguing.

I mean, Molly, the matriarch of this show.

I mean, Molly wants to see.

I mean, when we talk about Josh Allen, that's nice.

We talk about Lamar Jackson.

That's really nice.

We talk about Buffalo and equipment, whether that's not necessarily nice, but Brees and Brady, uh, six weeks that would qualify.

That is intriguing up definitions, since we're bringing up definitions.

If you really want to just say what's the most compelling or the or the biggest or the most Marquis, then I would agree with you.

But the word intrigued, the connotation is that part of the reason you're compelled is there's a mystery.

There's a curiosity that's what intrigued who go in and how about who's going with that does that not compelling?

Sure, Well, except that the Saints are favored there at home.

They've already beaten the Bucks twice.

Andi.

I don't know that that game will come back down necessarily.

The quarterback play defense versus the Bucks defense is that What does your Jackson and Josh Allen are?

Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are carving out their legacies.

Now they're defining themselves now.

Whereas Brady and Brees are largely defined, there is some intrigue.

I'm not denying it, but they're largely defined.

But how we think off the kind of landscape of the of the best quarterbacks in the world and the teams most likely to win Super Bowls going forward.

That this game versus the Bills and the Ravens really will have a huge impact on that.

The way we perceive Lamar Jackson, the way we're perceived Josh Allen and the reason is it may come down to that.

Can Lamar Jackson do what he just did against Tennessee?

Not just run effectively, but make those big passes when he needs to Ken Josh Allen be the next thing to Patrick Mahomes in the A f.

C.

I'm intrigued.
