Aaron Rogers just added another threat to the outside yesterday signing pass catcher Mike Williams to a one-year deal with a pair uh to be paired with Garett Wilson giving them a one-w punch like we haven’t seen in New York in an incredibly long time it’s been a very

Busy off season for the Jets who have added a bunch of veteran players to plug up some weaknesses in addition to Williams they have added three different offensive linemen to fix protection for Aaron Rogers which is all important also hro Taylor was squared up to be the backup quarterback to Aaron something

That he’s done well throughout his career Dan what does adding Mike Williams do for the New York Jets yeah it’s the ultimate finger cross football team in the NFL this year like they just have to keep their fingers crossed at all of these additions Mike Williams very much so at the Forefront stay

Healthy now if you’re going to hear us say that a ton about them if Mike Williams is healthy the addition of him paired with Wilson it gives the Jets the worst third best wide receiver duo in the AFC behind obviously Cincinnati T Higgins let’s see if he signs his tag

And then the Miami Dolphins but Mike Williams is a walking explosive play basically one out of every four catches gives is a an explosive play downfield and that’s something that this offense has needed for a long time but it’s back to the point of RC like your your

Fingers crossed because this is the well biggest dice roll in the NFL as well you know if he could stay healthy if Tyron Smith who’s going to be protecting a 40-year-old quarterback coming off of an Achilles tear if he could stay healthy then this offense has got a shot but

That’s going to be a tall task in a 17 plus Game season yeah I agree with Dan look who can stop the Jets when you look at this offense um two things father time and the turf at metti Stadium those are the two things and this is the

Ultimate Boomer bus team to Dan’s point but I love this move the reason I love it though the Mike Williams signing is because Joe Douglas we criticized him rightfully so last year because four plays into the season they didn’t do anything to surround Aaron Ro Aaron Rogers with good enough offensive line

Help and then they didn’t make any moves after that well he’s done the opposite this year don’t know how it’s going to turn out but at least Mike Williams came in the door got that Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich from you know from one

Of the Jets fans and it was good and that showed before this man leaves the building he’s signing with us and that’s the aggressiveness that I like to see from the Jets I mean if you’re Joe Douglas you put everything on Aaron Rogers shoulders last year coming into

The season and if you listen to guys like s Gardner even micole Hardman who was with the Jets early on in the season Nathaniel Hackett wasn’t wasn’t building an offense that it didn’t matter who played quarterback he built an offense for Aaron Rogers and if you’re Joe Douglas it’s about protecting him and

Giving him skill players on the outside to throw to Dan what grade would you give the New York Jets on this offseason yeah so far it’s an A but it’s written in pencil certainly not written in pen because you know again there there is such a unknown with how much

Those guys are going to play I mean it starts with Aaron Rogers I firmly believe that he’s going to show up and not skip a beat playwise but I don’t know because I I don’t know how often we have you know empirical data of a quarterback 40 years old coming off of

The Achilles teer you know we have to see what Tyron Smith’s health is going to be if Tyron Smith is healthy and plays a ton of games it’s a massive upgrade at left tackle if Mike Williams is healthy and plays a ton of games it’s a massive upgrade at the wide receiver

Spot outside of her opposite Garrett Wilson so the addition of these offensive line pieces certainly play its part but they got to all stay healthy and play together that is what’s plagued this football team ever since Aaron Rogers became part of it yeah but that’s

The scary part to me it’s a ton of ifs when we talk about the New York Jets is if this guy is healthy if this guy can play to the potential that we used to see him play at and we haven’t seen a ton of these guys be that in a couple of

Years Aaron Rogers Peri Aaron Rogers period in the Jets uniform but Aaron Rogers in the Jets uniform does it make this team of Super Bowl Contender ooh wow you know I thought you were going to give me like a lower bar to clear um no

No super roll Contender no um no I don’t see it that’s a that’s a bridge too far I’m not willing to cross that I think they can definitely win the division but again a lot of ifs if everybody stays healthy from top to bottom starting with the quarterback uh

Division win a playoff game but I think the AFC is so stacked that is what works against the Jets Aaron Rogers could have a phenomenal season but you got to seej St you got a Lamar you got a Joe Josh Allen all these it’s a murder’s ro when

It comes to the QBs in that that conference but Dan wasn’t Aaron Rogers brought to New York to win a Super Bowl and how long do they have to not be contenders oh he was absolutely brought there to win a Super Bowl and going into week one

Last year when he walked there ran out on Monday Night Football they were Super Bowl contenders they absolutely are Super Bowl contenders they’re a better football team roster wise and talent-wise today than they were week one of last football season but it’s the caveat RC like you

Know what I’m saying like it listen if if we can fast forward N9 months and they all stay healthy or all those pivotal pieces stay healthy there’s no question that this footb teamat Super Bowl contending football team but this is the only team that we have those

Massive ifs about when it comes to those pivotal pieces of their health how long does he have to win a Super Bowl I mean he’s got realistically two more seasons three more seasons maximum so I’m surprised that Daniel would say with such definity that you know definitiveness that uh the Jets are

Definitely a Super Bowl Contender because the caveat is ooh there’s just so many ifs because it’s an a but it’s written in pencil like that’s the thing that stops me because if if clearly you’re looking at the roster and saying this is a Super Bowl contending roster

Then you got to give Joe Douglas a in pen but if there’s any question about like ah I don’t if if if then I don’t think you you can say like yeah they got a shot but real like will that happen I don’t know so I can’t say it with my

Chest like that yeah there’s two things I’m sure of last year’s roster wasn’t a Super Bowl roster and that Joe Douglas did a ton to improve that roster for this year okay here we go guys back to Dan and quick reads as you’re studying these draft quarterbacks Dan starting

With Jaden Daniels what stood out for you yeah he’s a tactician with the elite athleticism I think he’s got the fastest eyes in this draft and I see his ball placement is Premier reminds me a lot of CJ Stroud of last year and even when you

Watch his tape and he has misses you don’t miss by much and I think it’s that tactician element of his game that you sit there and go well that is a trait that is going to be repeatable on Sundays on a consistent basis and you have to love that in this young man’s

Game JJ McCarthy from Michigan I think he’s the most consistent quarterback in this draft he’s a playaction pass Savant and I everybody knows how much I love the play action pass game and need it more into the NFL there now I want to be honest there’s games where you sit there

And go he only makes four or five throws he’s only asked to make four or five throws and every ball seems so often to be thrown as hard as it can what I want to see more is a little bit more love a little bit more touch on the football

And then to by all reports who will be the number one pick in a pro day today and Caleb Williams if there’s big a big play there this young man wants to make it if there’s a big play there this man is capable of making it he’s a magician

With the football and so often chasing Andor hunting big play and you absolutely love that element of his game sometimes it gets himself into trouble certainly in college football and it absolutely will in the NFL but he is a walking highlight reel at the quarterback spot I love Caleb Williams

Getting an opportunity to see him twice in person the dude is absolutely electric what must he show you today when his pro day takes place yeah RC for me nothing his pro day is going to be spectacular throwing the football and whatnot I want to see everything but

That I I want to feel if I’m in that building his energy I want to feel is he an alpha male does he is he a magnet when it comes to personalities how he interacts with everybody I I’ll go back to last year Lewis rck who is going to

Be at CB’s pro day today and asking him you know what stood out when it came to the quarterbacks last year and he said just being around CJ Stroud you felt CJ’s energy you watched how people just gravitated toward him toward him I would

Want to see if you got that same type of feeling out of Caleb Williams and I think the two things RC that you would want to have in conversation with him today why was 2023 when it came to hanging in the pocket and making throws

Different than 2022 he did it a lot more and a lot better in 2022 than he did in 2023 and just where he where he is when it comes to being the the CEO of the billion dollar company if he’s ready to fully take that on and have that impact

That we’ve seen a Joe as CJ strad step into the NFL right away and do so for I have a different uh stance on the pro day I’m old enough to remember when um Chad what’s his name Christian Hackenberg not what’s his name but Christian Hackenberg and uh Zach

Wilson were extraordinary in their Pro days and they were praised for that and that’s that’s what I remember and we saw how those careers pan out I think there really isn’t anything to me today that Caleb Williams will show me I think the biggest question for the Bears is that

Top 30 visit when you get him in your building you have him in halis Hall all the questions that Dan asked the discrepancy between 2022 and 2023 is he ready to be CEO can he shoulder that responsibility on the professional stage that’s the time where you get to drill

Him on that you get to run film ask him questions see how he processes see what he thinks how ask him about his teammates then I think you obviously prodes are important but I think the real issue is the tape is the tape and so when you you want to know about the

Guy that’s when those interviews that face to face comes into play a large part of those interviews is also taking accountability when ask why 2022 is different from 2023 is he pointing fingers at his skill players is he pointing fingers at his offensive line his coaching staff or is he trying to

Tell you what he needs to do better moving forward if he does become the number one overall pick Dan the Bears set up for Success at the quarterback position may be better than any team has been in a long time better than any team has been ever

To take a quarterback at number one I mean the the best most relatable is maybe Andrew Luck going to Indie because he had Reggie Wayne and T Y Hilton but we’re talking about a situation where the skill group is clearly above average and DJ Moore is at the Pinnacle of that

And then Keenan Allen in his addition so you have above average skill group usually doesn’t happen for a number one pick at quarterback you have above average offensive line usually doesn’t happen for a number one pick at quarterback and then you have above average defense well above average last

Eight games of the season last year this was the number one defense in the NFL Justin Fields his first two years had the 30th ranked defense in the NFL the addition of a player like DeAndre Swift so you you try to find a correlation RC and cimberly to a number one pick at

Quarterback stepping into a roster that’s as healthy and candid League you can’t find it and that’s why absolutely this this is the best situation a number one quarterback has gone into in at least 30 years in 30 years Daniel 30 years is that that 30 in our lifetime really really okay oh

Absolutely okay okay yeah and the other thing the other thing that’s been hard is we look at last year’s situation with Bryce young and CJ stra many of us thought that Bryce young would be going into the better situation and so a lot of what Dan said about L’s recognition

Of the way people gravitated toward CJ Stout we saw that manifest itself in Houston maybe we could see the same thing from Caleb who will be in a better situation now it’s for the best thing on the show would Kmart be shocked and we’re going to get right into it because

That picture says it all Kmart would you be shocked if Dak Prescott doesn’t get an extension Ryan I would be shocked because what are we doing here the the I feel like the whole off season we knew this was coming the Cowboys have to do something with his contract I understand

They converted some money 5 million great that doesn’t help actually free up space in the way that they need to I think this is a team that has coals and we want to see them get dck extended figured out and uh it would shock me seriously if that didn’t happen if

Stefan Diggs is traded okay how about this I would be shocked if he were traded now don’t get me wrong when Stefan came out after the season was like I don’t know what the future holds I was like what are we doing right now but seon honestly tweets like a

14-year-old girl trying to get the attention of her like eighth grade crush and it’s just all for attention I don’t think he’s going anywhere people in Buffalo they love him I think this is a season where him and Josh Allen need to ball out together if Justin Phils is

Pittsburgh Steelers week one starter okay here’s the thing Ryan I would be shocked in week one but week five yeah that’s where I would put Justin Fields as a starter I think this is a situation where Pittsburgh understands their future could be in fields’s hands and I

Think sooner more sooner than later you would rather see him on the field to know what you have for the here and the now if I’m the Pittsburgh Steelers if I’m Omar Khan I want justtin fields to win the job that’s exactly what I want

When I bring him into the building Dan I want to go in with an open competition whether Russell Wilson was named the starter or not headed into training camp and I want Justin feels to win because that gives me an opportunity to have a quarterback of the future not a bridge

Guy not a guy on the back end of his career but a young talented quarterback that needs the right pieces around him who showed signs of being very good late last year Dan please tell me that you agree oh absolutely I I think the the

Way I would phrase it is you can Bank on Russell playing good football you are intrigued by Justin playing really good to great football football and I think this I do think it’s going to end up being some form of a controver competition RC it’s going to come down

To who fixes their you know fatal flaws all right this really shocking when it comes to both of these guys all right and and I’m fans of both of them who can who’s going to take the less ridiculous sacks in the last two seasons Russell Wilson has taken 100 sacks Justin Fields

Has taken 99 no other quarterback in the NFL has taken more than 80 so who can get that out of their game just a little bit Justin I would be more inclined cuz he’s younger and then which one of these two guys gets rid of the negative plays

Negative plays are sacks their fumbles and their interceptions here’s another one Justin fields in the last two seasons has 145 negative plays Russell Wilson has 135 no other quarterback in the NFL has a buck 15 so you’re intrigued you’re encouraged but which one of those guys

Gets rid of those f flaws of their games more consistently that not only is going to be the starter I think that’s going to be the guy that makes Pittsburgh meaningful in December Dan you’re killing my vibe I’m sorry I need to I want to be excited about the Steelers QB

Situation all the all the should be it’s an upgrade so I no it TR trust me it’s somebody who watches the Steelers in real time yeah no it’s an upgrade I think for me the question of Russ versus Justin right now um I think it’s great

The Steeler said Russ is the guy I think it’s wonderful um because I think Russ kind of needs that too for his own confidence coming into a situation I think Denver situation really humbled him but I do think that we also have to be very clear yes Russ can still play

But the most attractive thing about Russell Wilson is that price tag because if he were going for the same amount of money that you had to pay Kurt Cousins he would not be in Pittsburgh so I think like let’s let’s call it what it is that’s that’s the reality and it’s five

But you give Russ the time he’s the veteran right now I think Russell will be more inclined to get the ball out quicker I think he will be more inclined like I’m not try I’m not trying to hold on to the ball forever but if he’s not

If his play isn’t exciting if it’s not if the offense isn’t generating the type of points that you need I think the Steelers well within the right to say hey let the young kid shine a little bit Dan is Arthur Smith’s offense good enough is he a good enough coach to get

Both of these guys or one of these guys to get rid of some of those mistakes I would Bank on Justin being the guy that can do that you know Russell Wilson Arthur loves to go heavy play action and throw the ball over the middle of field that’s something that Russell Wilson has

Not been certainly recently comfortable you know Arthur Smith comes from Atlanta that that was the team that we wanted Justin fields to get traded to last year because the major in that offense is the play action pass and Justin Fields is fantastic at it now Russell Wilson is

Pretty good at it as well my my caveat to this RC is last year I so off often wanted Arthur Smith to use Desmond Ritter’s athleticism in Atlanta more and to help him just maybe get some easier plays that didn’t happen that has to happen if Justin Fields is going to be

The guy but the the premise of this offense is going to be the play action past game and running the football and I think Russell Wilson’s good at that I think Justin Fields can be spectacular at it I think that’s what the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for at this

Position can we find a way to be spectacular it’s not just about an upgrade and when you listen to some of the things that they need to improve on Dan has totally totally taking all of my excitement out about the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback room come on listen

We start the be excited still you can be excited still you know reality [Applause] Sometimes
