00:00I do have a news item from today that I want to start with and that of course was the Daniel
00:06Jones stuff.
00:07Giants released him last week, clears waivers on Monday, said it was going to take a couple
00:12days to find the right spot for him.
00:14And if there is anyone, Adam, you want to get near one of these quarterback guys.
00:19There's a bunch of them around the league.
00:20Kevin O'Connell is one and that is where Daniel Jones goes and finds himself.
00:25You know, it's funny.
00:26You're reading my mind because I'm talking to the Vikings about Kevin O'Connell.
00:29He's phenomenal at working with quarterbacks.
00:31Yes, he's done an unbelievable job with Sam Darnold.
00:34Nick Mullins is currently the number two quarterback.
00:36He's done a good job with him.
00:37Remember what Josh Dobbs did last year?
00:39He saved their season after Kirk Cousins got hurt.
00:43So yeah, he's done a phenomenal job.
00:45Not only is he the head coach, they're 9-2.
00:47I don't know if anyone saw that coming, but he's done a great job of really rescuing Sam
00:51Darnold.
00:52Sam Darnold's never played good football in his career until now and he's doing a great
00:55job.
00:56And now we look at Daniel Jones.
00:57He's going to go to the practice squad.
00:59This will give him time to learn their West Coast offense.
01:01He's got to learn the terminology and the way they call things there.
01:05Then they'll see what they want to do with him, but it might, to me, if he looks really
01:09good over the next four to five weeks, you're probably going to want him to be the number
01:11two quarterback.
01:13They may not want to say that publicly, but you're not just bringing this guy in to have
01:17a look at him.
01:18You want to see what he can do potentially because listen, they're 9-2.
01:22If Sam Darnold gets hurt, you don't want to have to do what happened last year.
01:25Remember, they had to go to Nick Mullens.
01:28Nick Mullens is kind of a below average quarterback journeyman.
01:31Played actually pretty good football very early in his career with the Niners, but he
01:34hasn't been the same since then.
01:35He's had some injuries.
01:36I remember his elbow surgery.
01:37I remember when he was with the Eagles, Mike Mullins struggled a little bit, but he's an
01:41okay number two.
01:42Daniel Jones has got more talent, but the big thing for Daniel Jones is to kind of settle
01:46in, kind of recharge his batteries, get away from the New York market, all the negativity
01:53on his career.
01:54Sometimes you deserve to get benched and then released.
01:55No one's arguing that, but sometimes when we look at Mike, sometimes when you change
02:01teams, you get away from a situation that was not good for you.
02:04You never know what could happen.
02:06Not that he's Kurt Warner, but you saw what happened to Kurt Warner when he moved on.
02:10He looked like he was toast.
02:11I guess Kurt Warner's going to the Hall of Fame.
02:13He's in the Hall of Fame, but Kurt Warner had to leave to become a better quarterback,
02:18to kind of recharge his batteries and become what he once was, and you saw what he did
02:21with the Cardinals.
02:23Sometimes guys just have to leave where they are.
02:26Daniel Jones was a first-round pick.
02:27I know he struggled.
02:28I get it.
02:29But sometimes guys have to leave and get coached better, and I think he's in a great place
02:33right now.
02:34I think this is by far the best place for Daniel Jones.
02:37You're seeing it all over the league now, whether it's Baker or Darnold or a bunch of
02:41guys getting opportunities in other places.
02:45They end up turning things around, and yes, I think it's good.
02:47Nick Mullins, like Darnold left the game for a series or half a series on Sunday against
02:52the Bears, and me and Joe Ranieri were on, and we were doing in-game live, and we were
02:56like, Nick Mullins, geez, that could be a good spot for Daniel Jones if he can get there.
03:01So Nick Mullins isn't great.
03:04So I think it's a nice landing spot for him.
