00:00Look, if you're Cliff Kingsbury and the staff,
00:03do you wanna overload your rookie quarterback
00:04with a bunch of deep passes that he might not be ready for?
00:07Why wouldn't you ease him into it?
00:10Why wouldn't you just give him a little bit at a time
00:12and build on his successes and open up the playbook
00:16a little bit more each week?
00:18Look, they know they're not contending
00:20for a Super Bowl this year.
00:22They're trying to develop a young quarterback.
00:24So I don't have any problem whatsoever
00:27with the measured approach, short passing,
00:30get the ball out of your hands quickly,
00:31minimize turnovers, completely fine with that
00:35because he will keep building on that.
00:37That's the way I'm looking at it.
00:39But eventually you wanna see him
00:40start taking shots downfield.
00:41Definitely.
00:42I mean, you wanna see more explosive offense.
00:43Of course, you want all of those things.
00:44You wanna see seven field goals.
00:46I think you saw that though with the pass to Noah Brown.
00:49I think you did, a little bit.
00:50Couple to Ertz.
00:51I think you saw a little bit of it.
00:52A little.
00:53You're gonna see more of it,
00:54but it might be this week, it might be Monday night.
00:57I mean, they got some banged up DBs.
01:01But Marvin Harrison's, after the week he had last week,
01:05he's not out of the picture.
01:06He'll be in contention,
01:07especially if he keeps stacking weeks similar to that.
01:10And he's got a quarterback that's gonna throw to him
01:12and target him.
01:13Right.
01:14Neighbors obviously had a huge game last week
01:16against Washington, but his quarterback is limited.
01:19So.
01:20But he's gonna get every opportunity.
01:21He's gonna get all the opportunities.
01:22He's gonna get so many passes thrown his way.
01:24Now Caleb.
01:25As long as he stays healthy.
01:26He's pretty far behind in my eyes right now.
01:28But who knows?
01:29What if he has two or three really good games?
01:31I don't think any of the quarterbacks are far behind
01:34because Jayden doesn't have a touchdown pass.
01:36True.
01:37So they're all even in touchdown passes.
01:38Has Jayden played better than the other two?
01:40And if he had to vote right now,
01:42you would vote for him over the other two quarterbacks?
01:44Sure.
01:45But there's not enough separation yet.
01:47Because, like you said, let's say Caleb wins,
01:51throws three touchdown passes,
01:52all of a sudden you're like, okay.
01:55So.
01:56I think right now, I mean it's so early.
01:57The season's only played two games.
01:59But it would be between Jayden and Harrison and neighbors.
02:03Right.
