welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin coward podcast go on hit the Subscribe button there you go right down there if you want to be among the first to hear my weekly takes NFL college football more right there here’s a second thing and I’m always try to be somewhat delicate with Aaron Rogers because I’m viewed as anti- Aaron but last year 60 quarterbacks played in the league and if I just said to you said forget the teams and the names 40-year-old quarterback off an Achilles surgery with a makeshift old and really young offensive line in a better conference does that scream the quarterback plays 17 games I think lost in this this Jets Improvement and people love their roster is hey they’re a Bree Hall injury from being a half to pass offense half to pass and now the good news they shouldn’t be in shootout Aaron shouldn’t be forced to throw 44 times a game but they got one back and I tend to believe that championship teams are built when you have your seven to eight best players all in their Prime like Detroit right now Jared’s in his prime Hutchinson moved into it that running back may be into it now amaran St brown pan Su you’re get a lot of now they’re all like moving into their Prime and you start looking at Green Bay and it’s like I guess Bree probably is Garrett Wilson’s still raw a lot of their defensive Talent um s Gardner probably moving into it but they got a lot of guys that aren’t there or were never there I I PFF last week had the Kansas City roster number two and I was like they’re bad at tackling don’t have a number one receiver I don’t it’s not the second best roster in the league I look at the Jets and I just keep saying if you gave me over under 15 games on Aaron I’d bet the end did you see the clip last week of him scrambling to his right and kind of limping yeah and whether you tell me it’s blister prevention or whatever that has to be pretty concerning because I will say this last year at this time and remember he dealt with a calf a little in OTAs but when you saw him move around and he was healthy he looked somewhat spry he’s 40 years old and we have I would say pretty recent data of some legendary guys falling off a cliff for all different Matt Ryan Ryan and I would put him on the lower end of these players pton Manning Drew Brees Ben rothberger most of my life when I was a kid in the 90s guys got to like 35 in All Pro Sports and we’re done and then Brady kind of changed it LeBron kind of changed it most people fall off a cliff and that’s what I kind of Wilson and he’s that’s crazy but he’s not quite as quick anymore he’s not quite the athlete why he’s 34 he’s not 26 Aaron’s 40 40 and part part of the reasons he’s older right because played several years in college red shirted gray shirted in the pros didn’t play for a while so he’s actually older even though he hasn’t been playing technically as long as some of those guys like Peyton Manning when he was 40 but I think there’s a very good chance if you just base it off the history of sports it usually ends poorly you usually don’t do John Elway this one’s for JN especially with the Jets right I mean their offensive coordinator is not any good he he’s just not I mean most teams in the league laugh at that situation and he’s there for one reason and one reason only which I’m for the coach and the quarterback having a good relationship that’s how you and your producers have good Rel like there’s it should be healthy if the guy is good at his job Josh McDaniels pay and Tom Brady made a lot of sense Kyle Shannon and his quarterbacks RHA McVey and Matt Stafford this one this guy’s just not viewed as good enough and last year when Aaron left it was an Abomination and these stories because of the organization what if they start slow now I actually think they have an opportunity I don’t think their schedule is that hard early after the Niner game but it’s a weird schedule it’s a lot of night games and short week they’re just going to be covered like the Lakers or the Yankees and we know things get weird with that franchise and even if it’s all about football none of the other extracurricular stuff if it’s weird on offense they’re just going to point at the quarterback and the offensive coordinator and then the head coach is going to be up there like saying who knows what and it could snowball into weirdness really quick and like Aaron said if I don’t perform we’re all getting fired that’s what’s on the line here yeah I think the schedule I think it’s it’s viewed as easy and we have to be honest seven teams that made the playoffs won’t seven new ones will you got to be careful about looking at you know looking at last year yeah like I mean to me the Colts and Washington could be the Colts won nine games with Gardner mshu I mean Anthony Richardson when he was playing was J they were from winning that division last year yep and Washington I I contend they’re going to be a probably the most improved NFC team so you you start looking at these teams I I did something the other day where since the league expanded to 14 playoff teams 6.8 or seven new teams make it every year and I and I went through a list of teams some are obvious Atlanta big quarterback upgrade Chargers big coaching upgrade Cincinnati Burl plays uh I think Colts are really interesting I I I they’re my surprise team potentially in the league if I if I said to you and I and I think the Jets have to if Aaron’s healthy have to be considered I thought last week was really interesting so Miami signs Jaylen Wadd to a massive deal with Tyreek Hill already signing a stupendous contract okay what are we saying here so if Tua just signs the 10th biggest contract that’s Josh Allen now who’ll get an extension of raise they’re 105 million guy 105 million bucks I think something close to that on three dudes all on offense not a pass rusher not a corner not an interior defensive lineman not an offensive tackle two receivers and a quarterback so I almost wonder small guys too was was Miami saying listen we’re making our bet we’re just not going to have this is our way of telling you you’re not getting $55 million we’re just not going to give you that because I don’t know I know Dak has a market I I’ve talked to two GM would sign who told me yesterday and I think very quickly you know if the Drake May thing looks awful they’d sniff at it I mean New Orleans would Derek Carr I don’t think they’re in left Giants Daniel Jones what is tua’s market I don’t think it would be that good I but he’s not my type player but we also know when you hit free agency at that position people overspend but who is giving to $150 million on the open market who is I I I can’t see did you see the picture of him at the charity event he looked like he was on OIC he looks tiny he looks really really skinny I’m not in into small guys who aren’t great athletes with average arms just not really my style I mean I like my quarterbacks to be a little bigger a little more mobile with howitzers uh but because when you look at Tua in theory he should be this kind of mobile little guy but he is much closer to Jared gof the way he plays I’ve said it over and over what here’s what Dak does has proven now he’s given me three straight years of 12 wins do I want to give him 50 plus million dollar I do not is there an opportunity if he gets hot one postseason they could win a couple games like an Eli Manning situation 100% I don’t believe Tua has that capability one I yeah what we witnessed last year I mean if if this was like the Indie 500 they were up like several laps the bills were leaking oil they were six and six then the season ends they win the division and they’re hosting playoff games and Miami has to go on the road and even when I saw V at the combine he’s like I’ve been in the NFL a long time that was the coldest game I’ve ever stood on the field for when he played the Chiefs and we felt pretty good about our chances because we knew that offense couldn’t function in the freezing cold and but they wouldn’t have had a chance in a cold weather game against Baltimore against any of these teams so part of it is the AFC if you spend to if you spend all this money on Tua because at the end of the day could Dak it hasn’t gone well these last three years but beat a pery beat uh you know a jar G if he plays right how is Tua ever going to outplay Patrick Mahomes Lamar Jackson Herbert now with Harbaugh Josh Allen it’s not happening it doesn’t mean he’s not a solid NFL starter but once you start talking about the money this is not baseball you don’t have an unlimited amount of cap space Tyreek Hill he’s one of the greatest players I’ve ever seen no problem investing Jaylen Wadd you draft him high he’s a productive player I I get it too uh like I why can’t we just play this out why does every quarterback have to get an Jared goth proved last year he went Toe totoe with Matt Stafford in the playoff game he won the second playoff game against Baker Mayfield he was great against the 49ers like they have tangible evidence now in the playoffs let alone the regular season now for a year and a half where’s that evidence against Tua like yeah he plays well in October well you’re in the AFC where most of these teams come November and December I looked at their schedule whenever the schedules came out they had three or four games post you know o uh Halloween they get a little cold Colin get a little cold what if you can’t do it this year if you can’t win the division and host a playoff game which they would have to do to have success in a playoffs because of their climate what’s the point of extending them just to say you have a quarterback well and last year you know I’ve said this last year in the AFC it was the year Aaron gets hurt bills starts slowly burrow gets hurt Deshawn and Cleveland are a head scratching mess Anthony Richardson hurt CJ Stroud’s only with the Chargers Trev and and Trevor Lawrence injured every part of his lower torso like in the last eight weeks it was the year and and they didn’t do it so Aaron’s back [Music]
