here’s Dominique Foxworth I’m going to ask him a series of hard-hitting provocative questions and whether he’s ready or not he’s going to answer them and I start the first one by setting this thing up wide receivers are getting paid left and right quarterbacks so far not so much so you have these three young stars back Prescott Tu aunga vioa Jordan love each entering the final year of his contract so my first question Dominique is you’re extending one and only one of those three guys which one are you extending I’m sorry that I’m not going to surprise anyone with this very obvious answer but it’s Dak Prescott and it’s not about him being better or any quarterback being better or worse because Jordan Love You could argue has a brighter future for him but it’s about the very simple contract implications like for Tua in love if you extend them their cap hit is going to go up Dak is the only one that if you extend him the cap hit goes down and then it allows you to maybe make some with some of the other players that you need on here so it’s very obvious right now you have a situation where those other guys you can also use franchise tag leverage against them or or something like that Dak you don’t have any of those those um tools at your disposal so the sooner that you sign Dak the better off you are it’s a really good answer you can sign your quarterback and save money at the same time I hadn’t thought about it that way okay next one it’s obvious name for me the player who has the most at stake in the entire NFL this coming season I think it’s Patrick Mahomes and there’s only like you could say decades every couple decades it’s not even every 10 years it’s generational stuff where quarterbacks come around or players come around and have a chance to really be considered one of the greatest of all time and we know at the end of the day we’re going to start counting rings and right now he has a team that is a championship Contender this always won’t be true so I think every chance he has to get a Super Bowl championship it matters a lot there’s a lot of other quarterbacks that have things at stake but no one with what what uh Patrick Mahomes has at stake as his career progresses as many as he can pile up with this Sur this first Super Bowl run is going to um matter a lot when he makes runs later in his career and tries to catch Brady because you know it’s in his mind whether you want to admit it or not he’s thinking about it I will add to that too he could become the first quarterback to win three consecutive championships since Bart Star one of those wasn’t a Super Bowl cuz there was no such thing as the Super Bowl yet no one has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls so that would be something no one else had done okay last one who is the there’s a lot of winners in all these contracts who is The Biggest Loser of the new Justin Jefferson deal no one like the the Vikings got their player the player got the money he deserve JJ McCarthy got a safety blanket I guess if you want to force a loser it’s the rest of the NFC North who had hoped that maybe Justin Jefferson would hold out or get traded or sent somewhere else but yeah I don’t see a loser in this and you could argue that maybe there are some of the receivers who signed before Justin Jefferson could have used this as some leverage to get more money but I don’t think any of them would have been able to get more money than Justin Jefferson I don’t really see a loser in this scenario right now okay all of that is terrific so then then I want to play for you one more thing Nick because you of all people will appreciate this so CJ stad Young Superstar quarterback is on a podcast he’s talking to Gilly from Million dooll worth of game podcast he’s asked a fascinating question and gives a fascinating answer if you had to pick a career to have I’mma have Aaron Rogers career or I’mma have Eli Manning’s career who career you taking you want the Rings dog you don’t want that’s all that matter is the Rings okay my first reaction is I am subscribing to that podcast immediately secondly it’s sort of a fun question it’s the kind of thing you would ask yourself as a kid right Tim hasselbach would you rather have Aaron Rogers career have L universally considered one of the best players that ever lived or Eli Manning’s career universally considered a really good player but he won two championships instead of one which one Eli look the the is the guys are always going to put up numbers guys are always going to guys are going to come into the league with big strong arms able to do you know various things uh that maybe we’ve never seen before but ultimately when you start stacking it up and you look at hey this game’s been played for a long time 34 guys have won one 13 have won two the air gets gets pretty rare when you start talking about guys that have won two Super Bowls and so the same thing could be asked like hey would you want Eli or maybe somebody that’s won three look you’d want the career of the guy that’s won three so I like I just think that that’s the case like we’re talking about 13 people on this planet ever that have won two Super Bowls so I I to me I think it’s obvious what do you think Jeff who which side you going I mean I think Aaron Rogers has had the better career so that’s what I’d want but I I think the right answer is Eli Manning and I understand that green you are so good at making this question seem so interesting but this is honestly the lamest most cliche possible answer out of CJ strad because it’s the only answer it is driven into his mind the team the team the team the answer is always who had more team success and that is Eli Manning but Aaron Rogers has had the better career like it’s like he’s had the better career yeah but but I mean it depends on how we Define that yes he he he has compiled the better statistics Dominique which way you going I mean I I feel like I have to go to the other side because it’s a reasonable argument to have you guys are acting as if um Aaron Rogers has no Super Bowls if you have no Super Bowls then you obviously take the career with the championship but if you walk into uh the Hall of Fame uh induction every year when these guys are both in it and they walk in and there’s a room full of quarterbacks you know who the guy who’s going to get the more respect I’m guessing that it’s going to be Aaron marges based on his play because if we remember correctly Eli Manning was like a great Super Bowl quarterback but he was up and down through the course of his entire career those guys those other passers I think I would guess respect Aaron Rogers a little bit more than they do Eli Manning I’m just about out of time I’d love to come back to this the other difference of course is every time Eli Manning shows up on my social media people tell me how funny he is and with Aaron it’s usually not the same reaction [Music] and [Applause]
