Jerry Thompson Hour, brought you by Ambition Electric. The tax lines all over the place. New Orleans, Raiders, Green Bay, Green Bay, Green Bay, Green Bay, Broncos. Wow, they're all over.

the place with this one. Yeah, you folks, you'll have the opportunity. Again, everybody knows how to find me. Everybody, yeah, Kip says Raiders. Everybody knows how to find me. Like, I'm in the transfer portal. Recruit away. Recruit away.

There's no illegal recruiting benefits for this one. There's zero. Like, you, all, all things. This is, this is WWE, no-holes-barred, transfer portal for the NFL. and sadly I'm at a point where you know my my fandom is is up for bit like I'm going to pull LeBron and I'm taking my talents to insert city right like I'm sorry this is what it is so if the fan base if you all need another one if y'all need another one a loud one right if you need another one that's the best and good I look I can go I can go hard for my fandom But listen, you know, to be fair, though, when you're in the transfer party, you do have to put up some tape. I mean, the fans have got to see what you're capable of.

So, I mean, you got to. You didn't even say nothing. You didn't even say nothing. Big swinging deep. My name's in the porter, y'all comes to get me. I mean, I got you some people from something. He got you there. No, he doesn't.

He got you there. No, no, my fandom is all over the place. Who you want? You want me with Sir Per? You want me with the Redskinned Edge? You want me in New Orleans? Yeah, yeah. You should have a tape.

Right. A little tape. Right. Those things should be up so they know what they're getting. Oh, they know what we can. Baby, they know. They don't know. No, they don't know.

You can't just assume that everybody knows. I've already, I look, I'm, look, I'm going to say this. If they want me, come get me. Okay. That's all I'm going to say. Hey, Barry, this was, yesterday was one of those weird days where the NFL, NFL shows its hands, right? And it shows its hands.

That when it comes to position players, right? That the quarterbacks are the thing that makes the needle move, that makes the envelope fill up. And Carolina did a thing yesterday, and I don't know if it was Carolina doing the thing or Cleveland doing the thing or why it wasn't San Francisco doing the thing or why Atlanta didn't do the thing or right up and down the box. Baker Mayfield and the agreement. Whoa, whoa, stop, stop, stop.

Baker Mayfield's alive? He's alive and he's on a plane to Charlotte, North Carolina. I thought I saw him on a milk carton last week. He was. He was. But they got him off the carton and sent him, shipped him to Charlotte. They found him in one of the bathroom. in the Cleveland Brown Stadium.

He thought him as his house or something like that. Let me get this straight. The Pansters brought back. Who was my guy? Sam Darnall was there. No, before him. They brought back my guy from Patriots. He was there.

Took him to Super Bowl. Who is what I do? Oh, Cam. Huh? Cam. They brought back Cam. Mm-hmm. No, they got Sam first, right?

Yeah. Uh-huh. Then they went to Cam. Uh-huh. They got rid of Cam? Uh-huh. And now they get new. Bake, bake.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. All right. What happened to the Browns where you draft a guy number one? And he takes you to the playoffs and gets you a win. And then you decide to just bury him for a dude who may never play a game for you. Ever.

I don't know if that says more about Baker or one. about the people that made decisions. The only way we'll tell is if what Baker does with the Panthers. So somebody in that equation is awful. He's going to, I have every. I mean, completely off. Barry, I have every feeling that Baker Mayfield goes to Carolina and balls out. Balls out.

Look, I'm going to say this. If that happens, if that happens, then Cleveland is awesome. Well, they are. they've always been awful I'm just saying there's one or two things either Baker's awful or they're awful if he goes to Carolina

and he balls out then they're awful right because they just made an unbelievably impossible to understand decision now if they ball out and go to Super Bowl and bake

big falls off the cliff then you kind of think okay then made the right decision, right? When Big fake was awesome. There is little chance. There's little chance that the Browns go to Super Bowl. Because why?

They've never done it. They've never done it. They've never done it. It is way more likely that Baker Mayfield makes a playoff run before the Cleveland Browns do now. Right? That's a fair statement. Yeah, the only thing it gets me, though, is when you line up Cam Newton and Sam

Donald and Baker Maystell. Uh-huh. They don't look a lot. So what were they doing with Cam? The same people that was pulling the trigger on Sam Darnal and Cam, same person pulled the trigger on Baker? That's the part of them where. Well, that's part of my issue with Carolina as an organization

is that Matt Rule, I have some belief in Matt Rule. I'm just not sure that I have belief in David Tepper as the owner. there's just too many stories from people that I believe in who tell me run when somebody tells you run away like just they're just telling you DP run like just run away from whatever

whatever's happening here but Baker at least allowed me to lean in for an afternoon to have a quarterback with 92 TDs 56 interceptions those are numbers that matter right that ratio Right? That ratio matters.

Yeah. And to say that you've had three coaches in four years and still have managed to keep your sanity amongst chaos and nonsense, right? I mean, he hasn't had the same playbook, same verbiage for one of the four years that he's been in the NFL. Yeah. I don't be interested. I mean, these storylines so make the NFL. because it is intriguing.

I mean, you look about it and you go, you know, which is worse? You add to it what you just said. And we know at the end of the day, like a ton of this, ton of this relies on the success or failure relies on just a simple fact. Are you asking a player to do something that they can do well? Right. And it's remarkably simple, but it seems. very difficult in the execution of it

over the course of an organization. Right? Then I'm going to take a bunch of players and I'm going to ask them to do things that they do really well and I'm going to hold this together. It's going to fit the budget, manage a cap and then make it work. But I don't know. Now I'm kind of excited

to watch. But I, you know, the way Baker just fell off the cliff of the Deshaun Watson thing. Like he was like a person, what is the percent of non-grada? Like literally what happened? How does he fall off harder, faster, deeper than Deshawn Watson? And look at, in his case, he didn't do anything.

He didn't, you know, he wasn't out sleeping with, you know, animals and, you know, doing, you know, he wasn't, you know, he wasn't, who was the other guy? I mean, he wasn't, he wasn't doing what Johnny did, right? He was the face of whatever commercial that was. You'd welcome home doing all stuff. And then it's like, no, we don't, we're just going to kick you to the curve. Well, so let me. But this other dude's got Cates that's just hanging off his back. Like, you're a quarterback guy.

So let me ask you this to rank this group of four, right? This group of four. So there's Baker. There's Marcus Marriota who went down to Atlanta, right? They were in need of a quarterback. He goes down there. So it's him and Desmond Ritter. And then out in San Francisco, I don't know, Jimmy G.

only got him in playoffs twice and they can't wait to get rid of him. Like they treat him like Baker Jr. Yeah. Right? To figure that out. And then, oh, there's James Winston, right? So a guy of numbers. Let me put James in a different category. I'm going to put James.

Does anybody's been a lot? James is extra. Right? But the first three, and I guess it does relate to James, it's just exactly what I'm talking about. if you put any of those quarterbacks in an environment where you're asking them to do the things that they do really well,

they're going to do really well. They're clearly not Hall of Fame guys, but they can get you above, above average performance of a team. But by the same token, if you ask them to do things like they will make you, they'll make your stomach hurt. Jimmy, they just will because, and it's not because they're bad human beings or bad quarterback.

It's just like just a physical understanding that any quarterback out there. I don't care how good you think they are. There are limits to the things that they can do. They don't do all things well. They do some things exceptionally well, right? And so at the core, the best ones are good people. they're comfortable in all corners of the locker room. They are exceptional leaders in the sense of how they prepare

and how they execute when it's time to execute. Now, how they do that, whether it's throwing short, throwing long, run around, that all varies. Now, below that, you have guys that maybe don't prepare as well, or they prepare hard and it doesn't sink in the same way. They do have physical capabilities, but there's limits. And so what happens, I think, a lot of times, they get into these systems where the coach has a way of playing football,

and they'll say, yeah, we'll come and take them. Somebody says, yeah, we can get him to do this. And then the coach, he starts to fall back on the things that they do, and then they start kind of blaming the quarterback. Well, he's not any good. Hinky is a good example. The guy that was with the Redskins used to be the commanders. He's a competent guy

I mean good enough to be 1 of 32 in the NFL But he was constantly put in situations Where it wasn't playing to his strength What you like about him Is his competitiveness His fire that those are leadership capabilities But then you've got to match him up with Put him in situations where

You know he has a chance to be successful With what his strengths are And that can go all the way from how you're studying protections To win and how you're calling and play, those types of things. You know, a guy like that, you know, you need to get him out of the pocket. Like, not all the time, but just enough so that it abates the rush so that he has a more stable environment when you want him to sit there.

Like little things like that, right? Yep. You want to incorporate more of a screen game with a guy like that, right? Because you just want him that when he needs to sit in that pocket and throw, he needs a more stable environment. out-of-kick cat or flight. He can manage the passing lanes and things like that. It's just like little things like that that go into making these guys successful or not

or giving them a chance for me successful. Now, James, James is my boy. Did you see the latest workout that he had on? It's just so much, Barry. He was laying on his back with this bar that looks like it's about 15 pounds. Yeah. And it looks like he has maybe another 20 pounds on each side. And he's on an incline, he's on a decline, kind of.

And the bar is floppy. And he's jerking the bar up and down. And the barbells are like waving like that. He is some kind of special. I'm just going to say it. But that's been the whole thing is that, listen. even in 2022, the NFL does not have quarterback selection as a science. It just doesn't.

And that's just what it showed yesterday as well. So toward the break, we'll come back. We'll close out this hour with Barry Thompson. He'll tell us what he's cooking and what we're eating. And what we're doing in life, we'll figure all that out when we come back to one-on-one. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch.
