  • unless you could tell me that New England's offensive line is gonna improve and just pure, pure pass blocking ability, I would tell him if I'm his agent, go find, go find that group of guys who gonna afford you the most protection give you a good, if not great run game and then just be part of an offense.

  • Don't go somewhere where you gotta be the dude way Don't want that cause we really don't know if you hear that, but let's make sure you can build in there.

  • Jeff.

  • I appreciate the point about the Colts because the Colts got the best guard and they spent a very high draft pick on him.

  • The best interior linemen, I think in the game and a guy who's just a difference maker.

  • No question.

  • They built that team right, and now they need to find their quarterback.

  • I'm saying I don't think Carson Wentz is ready to be that quarterback.

  • You bring up my homes and how he was pressured.

  • My home, I thought, was spectacular and I thought was spectacular.

  • In the Super Bowl.

  • He was on the run for his life, pressured more than anyone ever.

  • But with the lower blitz rate than anyone ever right on drop backs.

  • So, no, he always running for his life.

  • No one's ever opened.

  • He threw three touchdown passes in the end zone to hit two guys in the face and one in the hands.

  • Like he, he was unbelievable.

  • That's not what Carson Wentz did a couple of years ago, what Carson Wentz did even last year, Jeff at the end of that season, when everyone was lauding him for for bringing his team to victory.

  • In fact, he got healthy against an extremely weak NFC East, and even then he was turning the ball over.

  • On third down in the fourth quarter, they were lucky to recover.

  • He was beating these backup quarterbacks in the NFC East, but Jeff, everyone in the NFC East, was beating those same quarterbacks right around that time.

  • Worse than once was beating them.

  • I really did not think he played well.

  • I was sounding the alarm on first day, but all the second half of last year, I see this is a continuation, Jeff.

  • The reason I bring that all that up is because what I'm saying about Carson Wentz is of course, you're right.

  • If he's protected, he's better throwing on the run, although he doesn't move the way he used to.

  • But maybe he could.

  • But my point about whence is more than anything.

  • It's upstairs.

  • It's a humility issue.

  • It's a it's a it's an adjustment issue.

  • It's an issue of really taking accountability for his play and for leadership, not just in word, but indeed.

  • And so when I look for the right fit to me, it's not about the X's and O's and about the pieces on the field.

  • It's about the coaching staff and a place where whence could really get that part fixed or that part worked on.

  • That's why I said the Patriots, any other team that you would bring up.

  • I want to know about the coaching staff and Wences attitude toward that.

  • Yeah, listen, I I agree with you on the coaching staff portion, but I think it's the opposite.

  • I don't think you need a leader at quarterback if you go to the Patriots right.

  • McDaniels has a very strong personality.

  • So does Bill.

  • You know both those guys, they they have a certain way they want to go do it they'll allow you to be you to a certain degree.

  • But ultimately they're gonna be the guys who carry the water in that locker room.

  • And so, from from winces perspective, there's not gonna be any any leadership required, you know.

  • So from from just just the the actual learning the leadership part from the X's and O's, I think Frank Reich is probably what if he's not the best?

  • He's one of the top three play collars, and they have the ability to complete it.

  • Like, Why did Tom wanna leave New England partly because of what was on the outside, like, you're you're asking him to go back in, and it's not just gonna be the mental part.

  • I understand what you're saying about the mental part, but they're also have to be guys around.

  • That can make you better than you are.

  • And that's every position in the league, Max, like the guys you play with matter.

  • So So you're gonna go to a group where now you have to be that guy, no matter who's on the outside, I think that's a tall order to get.

  • And it's not like the Patriots have produced tons of receivers over the past 20 years, Tom Brady has created those guys.

  • But, man, now you're asking him to create those receivers.

  • I think that's a tall order to ask right there.
