Since this whole Jared Golf Stanford, the Matthew Stafford thing has been going on.

Um, and I've talked to other people just in general, and we have Mac Tannenbaum, Mike Tannenbaum, former general manager, on yesterday.

I think it wasn't a day before, and he said pretty much the same thing like, Is it?

Like I said, that big of a jump?

Are we going from a very bad bad quarterback to Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees or Tom Brady?

Like a week, you know, is a massive upgrade.

Massive upgrade?

Or is it just a tick and is a tick good enough to ultimately get you to the Super Bowl?

And if it is, then it's a great move.

But if you're in the divisional round in the wild card playoffs and you lose and you go home or even if you got to the Super Bowl, you lost, it's the same thing again.

Golf.

Four years, three playoffs, one Super Bowl appearance and his J has said he does admire, and I think many people do that.

The Rams have gone all in there, moving all in a way, of course, from Jared Goff.

So if Coach McVeigh is listening in Los Cabos, Mexico, where apparently I've been seeing all over the place, he's hanging out with his fiancee.

This one's for you, coach McVeigh.

Here we go, Jared Golf to Sam Farmer, great NFL writer for The Los Angeles Times, on the move to move on.

Quote as the quarterback as the guy that's at arguably the most important position on the field.

If you're in a place that you're not wanted and they want to move on from you, the feeling's mutual golf told the Los Angeles Times.

You went on to say Quote, You don't want to be in the wrong place.

It became increasingly clear that was the case.

End quote Increasingly clear.

He was in the wrong place.

Key.

You know, you're you are not in the wrong place to you in the wrong place, right?

Two years ago, I love you, Zubin were great.

Here's a new contract.

Two years later, get out.

I don't like you.

You fumble too much.

You throw the ball away, I get I get what coaches see and they do.

I understand.

And I learned it from Bill Parcells in my career in Evan, our producer.

Remember this Adri Morel running back that we had, uh, in 1997 was good.

Adrian rushed for I don't know, 13, 1400 yards a lot, A lot of yards.

But then we went and got a Hall of Famer that essentially rushed for the same amount of yards.

Curtis Martin is Agent Maria.

We traded and we got Curtis and we paid him big money, and I couldn't really understand it.

But for whatever reason, coach Parcells said, He's going to give us something that we don't have, and I'm looking at going.

It's the same guy.

But when I got Curtis, I'm like, Oh, okay, I see what this is.

He's a different back that does different things, and he dominates the different stage in a different way than Adrian Murrell.

So therefore, it kicks us over the top.

I got it, and so when I look at the Stafford thing, I understand what Sean may have seen.

There's one or two games that they probably could have won.

Miami Dolphins, the New York Jets if he has Matthew Stafford.

There's those W's now, and maybe they're in a different seating, and now maybe they have home field advantage throughout the playoffs instead of going on the road.

So I get all of that.

But I also have to look at the body of work in Matthew Stafford.

Statistically, yes, he throws four million yards of Detroit.

They're behind all the time.

You're going to throw for a million yards.

That's what happens in a passing league.

But can he take his skill set to a team that may have better offensive weapons with an aging offensive line and give you what you're looking for?

J.

Look, man, I commend Jared golf on the way he handled that interview in a day and age where a lot of people say exactly what's on their mind.

I think he was very professional strategic.

With that approach and and key, I agree with the latter point that you made you know in any given Sunday, if if if this is a game of inches that tick better, maybe with a better arm.

But maybe just with the way he leads, I feel like that was the one thing I don't know, because I don't know internally how people deemed Jerrick off.

But the way I hear people talk about Matthew Stafford is that from a leadership perspective, it feels different.

And sometimes that leadership style could be the thing that gets you over there.

Lastly, I would just agree with everything you guys said.

There's something about McVeigh.

When you have the league's top ranked defense and you're the innovator and your 18th in scoring, that's gonna take off a guy like that.
