  • But what I've seen happen over the last couple of weeks is, you know, Tom Brady win the Super Bowl and Rogers saying, Hey, I need to have more control or I need to deal with the front office more.

  • I've seen DeShaun Watson.

  • I've seen his character take hits.

  • If that's Dick Burr Mill coming on our show saying I'm disappointed in the Shawn Watson, I'm seeing Russell Wilson come out and say, Hey, look, yeah, you know, I would like to be involved in personnel decisions around skill positions, you know, on the offense.

  • Yes, I would.

  • And I'm hearing people say, Well, you know, you gotta handle those things internally.

  • I think fans are about to get extremely uncomfortable, and I think it's starting to follow the MBA suit a little bit key where you are gonna have a certain faction of fans that are gonna be turned off by the fact that these players feel like they weren't the power to dictate what happens internally and in systems that are traditionally way more conservative in their approach way, more conservative approach at that position is typically has been going on forever.

  • White quarterbacks essentially, you know, demanded certain things in trades and things of that nature.

  • J.

  • And we didn't hear about it as much.

  • And so if the players air shows, the fans have turned off by the players demanding things because it's been conservative at that position.

  • What doesn't?

  • Okay, so what?

  • Shawn Watson happens to be black and Russell Wilson happens to be a black quarter.

  • So what they he has.

  • He should be a lot allowed to have a conversation about the skill position players.

  • There's nothing wrong with that.

  • There's nothing.

  • So if people don't wanna watch football, because these guys are not conservative as it should be or what it was in the past, We're in a different generation, man.

  • It's just fast we are.

  • It's just it's fascinating to me, right?

  • Because it just different strokes for different folks because I'm watching Tom Brady get glorified for like, well, he made the right.

  • He got out of New England, he got his way and he got the kind of people around.

  • And, you know, he got Leonard for net there and he got Gronk there and you change your voice, though it just happens when I get animated, dammit!

  • although it's just funny, like different structures for folks like Do they have some players that are trying to do that in their own way?

  • And yet they're being criticized for trying it interesting.

  • Well, the circumstances I started with Zubin earlier or different.

  • One guy's a free agent.

  • Other guys under contract.

  • One guy is getting praise because the narrative is assuming that the reason these players outside of Gronkowski at a B went to Tampa because of of Tom Brady.

  • Uh, Jason Light is the general manager.

  • Tom Brady had nothing to do with the free agents that he signed or the draft that he was put in place.

  • Prior to that, the guy who was at quarterback a year go through 30 interception.

  • All they needed to do was cut that down.

  • If you go back to our early shows, first thing I said is cut down the mistake's and interceptions.

  • You're going to go further throughout the course of the season.

  • That is what Tom Brady was able to do.

  • Leonard Fournette was a guy who was the fourth pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

  • Had some potential ran in the odds with management, they decided to move on from him.

  • You look at Antonio Brown.

  • He needed the only team that would take him will be Tom and the top of a Buccaneers.

  • Gronkowski came out of retirement.

  • Go ahead.

  • You don't think Tom had anything to do with getting those guys there?

  • You don't use a B and Gronkowski, but you know, J P.

  • P was already there.

  • Devin White was already there.

  • They drafted Antoine Winfield.

  • I doubt very seriously that Tom Brady set in the room with Jason Lytton, said, Oh, I've looked at 500 safeties.

  • This is the top safety.

  • We should take him in the second round.

  • I doubt that the two guys that I would link to him would be Gronkowski along with, UH, a B outside of that Kristen worth the left tackle that they selected out of Iowa.

  • I don't think Tom Brady selected the left tackle.

  • I think it was the management that did that.

  • So, yes, a lot of great things come with Tom Brady because Tom Brady has been, ah, Super Bowl winning quarterback seven times in the National Football League.

  • But when you look at it, that team was stacked all ready.

  • A team was already stacked.

  • Last point.

  • I'll say about this.

  • The two guys that Tom Brady selected on Lee scored three touchdowns in the Super Bowl.

  • It just works out that way, right?

  • Here's my last point.

  • Look, man, here's the bottom line.

  • After week 12 43 year old quarterback that once lost track of downs said, We're changing everything in Chicago.

  • We on fourth down, fifth down, third down, he said after the week 12 lost to Kansas City.

  • By the way, they never lost again and then beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

  • And, by the way, be Brees, Rodgers and Mahomes.

  • Back to back to back.

  • To win the Super Bowl, he said, We need to simplify.

  • Every other quarterback of Brady's ilk stood there.

  • Russell Wilson to Shawn Watson, doubling down heels, dug in and said, Bro, he's doing that.

  • I'm doing that.

  • And every other team that said we could have had Tom Brady, even though I know he said, Look, not everybody needed him.

  • They said, Let's take a swing.

  • If I'm a quarterback, I'm taking a swing after watching Brady.

  • If I'm a team, I'm taking a swing.

  • After watching the bucks get Brady.

  • That is not a coincidence.
