Okay, so we're going to tear them. We haven't done a tier list. I've been wanting to do a tier list for a long time. Let's just start. Lamar Jackson's at the top. To me, Lamar Jackson has as much aura as almost anybody in the NFL. He doesn't even have the most aura in his division, bro.

Joe Burrow might have just as much. Yeah, duh. But it's just a different kind of aura. I put them in the same conversation. Welcome to the Green Light podcast, presented by BetMGM.

Next week, Monday, June 2nd, stay tuned to the Greenlight channels because you might be hearing something pretty cool. Enjoy it and we'll see you soon. This is what started this whole obsession with aura for me today. I text you guys this morning. I'm like, guys, we're not doing a tush push things that should be banned draft. Some other podcasts can take that.

We're going to talk about oras today. because I'm in this group text and there's like 12 to 14 people in it you would love it. Yeah, that sounds awesome. But like all morning we're arguing about people's oras because it started with somebody being like, Halliburton has no aura, you know, and I'm like, I don't necessarily disagree, but he doesn't have a negative aura. Like I don't dislike Halliburton. Oh no, there's negative aura. So is it like a minus 10 to 10 scale? Well, no, there are people with negative aura. First, we need to define aura.

Yeah, what, what is aura? So aura to me, it's like swag, right? It's, it's kind of like swag, but it's more serious. Like, in my opinion, it's a little bit more serious. It's kind of like a mix of badass and swag. And I think being mysterious matters too a little bit. But at the same time, I think John Kruck has an aura. Yeah.

You know, and so there's non-traditional aura. Yeah. You think there's walk into a room and you kind of, your presence sucks air out of it all eyes are on you yeah that that like that gravitas you know that's kind of what it is to me a charisma charisma and you got to be pretty good like there's guys that to me are like there are some people with aura that that weren't great players they're good players but they had like great aura his microphones too high that's right that's good self-scouting yeah um i don't know but who's the who who have you played with that had like a lot of aura who had the most aura of anybody you played with

Fitz has aura. Fitsy? Fitsy? Yeah. I agree. Yeah. Yeah. Like he's a guy's guy in the locker room, like all the Fitz magic stuff when he was fucking.

Let me ask the group. Throw those bombs to D.J. To G. D. I mean, there's a lot of guys. There's different kinds of, of aura, you know, like, we're trying to think about athletes. Okay, well, let's talk about some NBA athletes with, with aura.

Yeah, who's got the most aura remaining in the playoffs? That's where the whole conversation. I mean, all remaining in the playoffs. that's Anthony Edwards. Yes, easily. But you said Jalen Brown has the most aura? I think he has a lot of aura. He's got that mysterious factor.

I think he's cool. He seems smart. He seems very poised. I don't think he quite. I don't dislike Jalen Brown. I think he's great, but I don't know about aura. It started because-

negative aura. Rudy Goberra has negative aura. Russell Wilson has negative aura. We're not talking about, Russell Wilson in a Knicks or no, it wasn't even a Knicks varsity jacket. It was a Giants varsity jacket at a Knicks game is negative aura. That's negative aura. You can be a great player and not have aura.

Like JJ, JJ, J.J. Watt. Same quarterback room. James Winston has aura. He got a ton of aura. It's a different kind of aura, but he's got a ton of aura. I started writing down. He's got aura. Who Tommy DeVito?

Actually, a Buccaneer. And we'll stick to the NBA for a second. I do think Anthony Edwards has the most aura remaining. I think that's clear. Remaining in the playoffs. I don't think there's a lot of aura left in the NBA playoffs. I think it makes it a cool playoff. It's fun, dude.

You know, I think Michael Jordan has like elite aura. When you talk about aura like Mike, if my, here's the difference. Mike didn't even have the most aura on those on those Bulls teams, bro. Dennis Rodman. Come on. Bro, you, that is. That is the worst take. No offense.

Rodman has more aura than Michael Jordan. That is unreal. Michael Jordan chewing on a cigar, playing two sports at once, fucking hoop earrings in the 90s. Like, Michael Jordan couldn't pull off wearing a wedding dress, bro. That's part of the aura about him, I think. That's why Dennis Rodman's got more aura. Both wrong, but not by much.

No, yeah. Oh, guys. Can I? God, I wish Fax was here for this day. Yeah. Oh, he would be flipping out. He would come all over this day. I wish back back backie from the south side was here for this take.

Well, we can do this time and time again. May I nominate an all-time aura person? Sure. Let's just go around because I got some good ones. Yeah, go around in a circle. Everybody name and name. Alan Iverson. Yes.

Yeah. Okay. Dale Sr. The intimidator. A ton of aura. You talk about aura, I think about Dale Sr. Correct. Okay.

No objection. Okay. Let me start with a no-brainer. David Beckham. No, I don't know about that. Oh, I don't think you understand ORA. Dennis Robman and David Beckham? ORA!

Okay, let me give you another one. They're going to downvote our... John McEnroe. Huh? John McEnroe. Oh, I don't know if he understands ORA. Do you mean like John Daly? John McEnroe.

Do you think ORA means... John Daly? John Daly's got to Roar. He's got an aura. Dick Trickle had an aura. We were just looking at a picture of Dick Trickle smoking a dart leaning on his Miller light car back in the day. That's aura right there, dude.

That's huge aura. Was, uh, John Riggins. I got one for you, Macon. You were talking about the Olympics earlier. Yeah. Here's a good one for you. Johnny Weir, aura. Okay.

I don't even know who that is. I don't know if he can participate. That's a steer. I will say right now, Johnny Weir is. It's a figure skater. Oh, yeah, figure skater. No, yeah. He might have swag.

Can you define aura? Bo, can you define aura? Oh, it's just that gravitas, man. It's that Geno Sequa. You got the charisma. You got that kind of personality. Lou Williams, all-time aura. He's got so much aura.

He had two girlfriends at the same time. We're aware of each other. If Brett Farve had more aura... Tell me, David Beckham doesn't have aura. What? I'm not... He just... not the first person with or he's got more aura than me i suppose but like that doesn't make him like

an elite aura guy that is i just all right let's do this tangrifie junior yes there you go there you know who also had a fucking who had aura uh uh bogs for sure especially when he was 40 beers deep on the plane dude he had to have a great aura um the um who was albert bell had like kind of an aura. Oh, yeah. The point is, you know, aura is subjective because Bo thinks all these people have aura. Let me get one or two more out. I think, well, I'm sorry that the two mid-30s white guys don't like my aura takes. I'm 40. I'm late 30s. Here's what we can do today. Let's, let's tier NFL quarterbacks by ORA. Staters. It is official. It could be starters. It could be backups. So can we get a list of all the NFL quarterbacks up on the screen, please?

Another question was like, can you guys were asking the group text? They were like, hey, can somebody lose an aura? I was like, absolutely. I just watched the FARV documentary. Yeah. And then they asked, can somebody gain an aura? I think Brady gained an aura. Like that guy that got drafted out of Michigan had no aura. And now he's got like legendary aura. Oh, really? Brady. He's got an aura. Okay. Yeah. When he was in New England. I thought we talked about Mason Graham for a second. No. That guy who got drafted out of Michigan has no or.

No, he has the aura of a rock, as somebody in the comments said. Okay, so we're going to tear them. We haven't done a tier list. I've been wanting to do a tier list for a long time. Let's just start. Lamar Jackson's at the top. To me, Lamar Jackson has as much aura as almost anybody in the NFL. He doesn't even have the most aura in his division, bro.

Joe Burrow might have just as much. Yeah, duh. But it's just different kind of aura. I put them in the same conversation. Joe Burrow takes a little bit of a dive because he does allow someone else to pick out of his clothes. He does have, Jamar Chase selects the one. That's interesting. I think.

Well, hold on. Definitely has a stylist too. Lamar has poopy pants problems and he replies. Well, he does. He does. He's pooped his pants and he has to, he, it's a thing. And he responds to a lot of tweets, which is a little bit of a dot. Yeah.

Okay. But I agree. Be a great quarterback and have bad aura. He might not be trying to bore a farm. Justin Herbert, if he takes the next step, will be amazing and have not a lot of aura. Okay, good. I thought we were going to have our first disagreement. No.

Listen, I think if you're going, what are the tiers here? The kids love to fill these out. S tier is the best. We went elite. Jalen Hertz. is S tier. He's S tier. Which is below elite. I can't say that he has more aura than Lamar.

He's got his own aura. Respect the fuck out of it. It's up there high. But Lamar Jackson has, Lamar and let's say Joe Burrow have probably the most aura out of NFL quarterback. Probably. We can rearrange as we go. I put Jalen Hertz in that same category.

You're just sucking up like a motherfucker. I'm telling you, did he drop Roger Goodell's name again? No, I mean, he did say to us in the locker. soccer room that that whole scene was like very all right how many qbs can we put in the elite category so here are we doing lamar yes okay lamar's in jalen's s tier so that's one below yeah josh allen he's one like josh josh josh is amazing likable cool as fuck maybe in my opinion top two i got i i got one who's who's headed in that direction it sucks I know who it is.

Jaden Daniels is, he's in the S tier. Yeah. Put Jaden Daniels in the S tier. Okay. I think Baker Mayfield has an aura. Yeah. You alluded to it earlier as somebody who like gained an aura. I think he's always had the aura.

And that's what's, that is aura is like, even when you're in Cleveland, you don't let it affect your aura, your confidence. I think Baker Mayfield's resilience and just his general, like, attitude puts him in the elite category of aura you should do that the top not elite as s tier agreed yeah okay so we start with the top tier here and then f tier okay so like jane danos f tier f tier okay let's go down to f tier russell wilson yes Aaron rogers agree yeah Kirk cousins's orr improved when they started putting those chains on him so he might not be in the bottom tier. Let's save him for... Yeah, that's a good argument.

To a tongue of Ioloa. He's low, but I'm not going to totally dump on him and act like his aura's you know, akin to... Gino Smith? Gino's got good aura. Yeah. Good solid aura. He's got good vibes, but it's kind of plain oatmeal from an aura standpoint

for me. Okay. Deshawn Watson. Off the door. Oh, you can't say he's untouchable because he's Yeah, he's touchable. AFCs we've hit a lot of. Josh Allen, we're going high up there. Two of, we're pretty low down there.

Two is a F tier. Drake May is an interesting case. I think Drake May is a mid-tier at this point. We haven't quite seen enough. I think his aura is rising. Rising aura currently mid-tier. Jets' quarterback is going to be Justin Fields. I think Justin gets a bad rap.

and has a higher aura. That when he slid across the end zone, you know, that game winner in the rain two years ago? Nah. Oh, no. But he wears a visor ball. Nah. Weiser may be more swag than aura.

I think the Jets franchise is going to kill his aura. Justin Fields, Chris. Justin Fields is like good, like solid. I'm not going to give him a negative aura, but I'm not going to give him like a... I'm in C. Yeah, he's like C. tier aura and ora is not likeability no you know because correct i haven't gotten there yet with

somebody that that's low down on the but but yeah or is not just likeability it's just aura dude i have a tough one for you folks sure c j stroud stroud has good ora he's got like i think he's got a tier i would great quarterback i don't see aura yeah i would see see dude i see a guy that walked into a fucking he walked into a pro lock room and had everybody over to dinner as a rookie and like organized team dinners and was able to he was able to they were confident enough in him to bring

Stefan Diggs to town his second year and say like listen like aura this is not going to cause any drama you have enough grabitas you have enough presence in the room that this isn't going to derail our season I like CJ Stroud up high I also feel like he Also, we met him.

He comes off is like very confident, which is a big part of aura to me. I haven't met C.J. Strah. Well, let me tell you. Okay. I'm a happy birthday text and then you guys can meet. Yeah. For C.J. Meet in the middle, B, maybe?

Yeah. Yeah, I get him a B. A B. Okay. Well, I'm getting overruled. So put them in the, put them in the B. But I'm going to disagree at some point because you're all going to put somebody in the A that's not cooler.

I got a quarterback for you. You just got paid. I want to know what you think. What category he falls into. Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy's got C-Ora. Yeah. I'd agree.

C-ora? D. D. You think is D? Also a passing grade? I would go over. Yeah, I might go D too. Okay.

I might go D, yeah. Okay. Are the Colts nominated Anthony Richardson or Daniel Jones? Anthony Richardson kind of fucked up his aura when he checked out of the game. Yeah. He might be F. I don't think that there's a difference between who, which one of those two players they would nominate. Oh, same aura, huh?

Who? DJ and Andrew. No, Daniel Jones's aura is lower than Anthony Richardson. Yeah. You can't wear Brooks. I agree. Brooks brothers, no offense. Untaking.

And have, like, serious aura. I know I don't have aura. I don't have aura either, bro. You might have a. I have some aura. Yeah. But not in a room full of NFL quarterbacks. Like, you might be C tier.

You on the hand. What about Stafford? Brothers. Stafford, he's like cool guy. I put him in the Mahomes category. Well, if you're going to put them in the B, that's not the same as, in my opinion, C.J. Stroud. C.J. Stroud should be in the A. If Stafford's.

Disagree. Stafford. Stafford's higher. Stroud. With aura? Oh, yeah. No. No, you might be right.

No. You're right. You're right. You're tripping. He's earned that or he's earned the aura. Is it champion that counts for something? I just had a vision. What? You ever been driving down the road and you look up and there's a hillside, a bunch of grass, right?

And there are a bunch of cows in the field. And there's this one big bull with big old swinging ones underneath. And he's just sauntering around, sauntering around with all the females like, look at this guy. Look at this big smoke. That's kind of aura, right? Yeah. And Matt Stafford's a cool guy. You think that's Matt Stafford?

Matt Stafford. Matt Stafford bought a mattress to be agreeable to his spouse what the firmness on the mattress is. That's not ORA. ORA is getting a second mattress and sleeping on the floor like I do. I'm still sleeping on the floor on a mattress like I'm in college. It's the best thing ever. That's good. I say good night like this.

I'm like, good night. I got a question. We're talking about all these QBs, but like, Like, okay, non-QBs, who's got the most aura in the NFL? Ooh, that's, I mean, that's a tough one. It's a guy that we met, Chris, last summer. Oh, Justin Jefferson's got, like, off the charts, or a receiver aura. He's got the, yeah, he's incredible.

I think he's got the most. I think Derwin James has a lot of aura. He's on the show today. I think Derwin James is up there. He's got a lot of aura. I think, I think Jalen Carter has an aura. Oh, boy. does he

yeah guys got an aura he walks in a room and people know it but QB is like a different kind of aura so so who else

that we have left here only about 20 names just start rapid firing him I think Baker Mayfield should be whatever's right below I think he should be a tier I think Baker and Matt should be a tier

yeah um Baker Mayfield mayfield's super cool super confident planted a flat in college, right? Won a game on Thursday night after

joining the team three days per hour? No question. Just gives it. He's like a benevolent Brett Fav He is. If Brett Favreve wasn't stealing anything and was in a monogamous relationship and did commercials

with his wife living in the stadium, that would be. I propose that Jared Gough is D tier. that's okay and that again not thrown stones glass houses here but probably a d tier aura you're giving him a c collar murray that's like a i think he's a c aura yeah yeah he's got that baseball player ora which is a cool aura he's got that colla dude yeah but he won't do bad he wants he wants to have more aura and that's not what people with aura but oh you got a lot of aura bro for not knowing what the fuck ora means yeah bro i have a great list y'all just don't appreciate it okay

there will be hopefully someone in the comments that's like hey that's right david beckham's got an or those list dennis rodman you know what you might be right about david beckham but not dennis rodman there's a couple other names i had i didn't even get to don staley she's got some aura she does have some aura uh john daly tiafu who else i got can griffy junior ocho S. Ocho's got ORA. Okay, Jaden Daniels is S tier. We've got Stafford and Mayfield in the A tier. We've got May and Stroud in the B tier. We've got Fields and Kyler in the C tier. I'm sorry, Drake May needs to go down to the C tier for now. I know. I agree. I mean, we loved him. We're all all over. I love Drake May. Would I have a beer with Drake May? If this was a who would you drink a beer with tier system, he'd be elite. He'd be up there. He'd be up there with, you know, Baker and fucking Lamar. He sounded exactly like Eli and Peyton.

Yeah. He could have been related. Their progeny. Yep. What about Jordan Love? Jordan Love, to me, he's got some aura. He's got A aura. We're not talking about has he earned it.

I'm just saying, does he have aura? He's got aura, definitely. Yeah. I'm giving him B or C. Yeah. When we saw him in Vegas, you didn't see him in Vegas. did you? No.

I saw him at the casino in Vegas. Are you letting personal interactions color your judgment here? Absolutely. The best way to... It's probably pretty fair. The best way to know if somebody has an aura is to run up on them and see if they have an aura. Oara check pass.

Jordan Love had great aura, dude. That reminds me the time I... I'll put it this way. Bless Jaden Daniels at the Super Bowl. Yeah. He had ORA. Yeah. And he did a big X the plug.

Yeah, I war-formed. Orah farmed. Big X the plug. But the point is, like, you know how some women, if you see them in a picture, you're like, oh, that's a pretty lady. And then you'll meet the person in person. And you're like, whoa, strikingly beautiful. Pictures don't do that person justice.

From an aura perspective, that was Jordan Love. I was like, whoa, the aura on this guy. I didn't see this coming. Okay. Then we'll grant you B. I don't think we can go higher than B. No, that's fine. Patrick Mahomes, this is going to be a really divisive one.

I think he has a great aura. It's not elite, right? It's not S-tier. But I think he's in that Stafford-Mayfield conversation. I'm giving him B. Oh, no, no. And I would agree with B. And I would go as low as C.

Yeah. Really? I'm with you. I say A. Dude, the thing about Patrick Mahomes is this came from a conversation. Not about talent, though. I know. But this came from a,

here's what's wrong. Y'all's opinion of his talent and what his talent has brought him is clouding your judgment of his aura. Kyle played with him. Kyle talks about him. The things that I've heard about him, he's like Jordan competitive. Like, I'm not even being funny. Like, that to me, there's an aura around a guy that doesn't want to lose it anything. You know, you always hear that about people, but it's rarely true. Like, he's that guy, and he's also, like, one of the boys. And I think what's cool about Mahomes is he's like a normal guy that they just gave an RPG and put on his shoulder. Like, he likes golf. He obviously likes drinking beers.

He likes hanging out with the fellas. You know, he seems pretty normally. He has normal hobbies. He just happens to be an Uber competitive fucking freak show. And he, like if you've been around Mahomes, like many of you listening have,

you know he's like a cool guy. Like he's a cool fucking guy. I think being cool has, especially for somebody who's so good, I think they got to be near the top. Counterpoint his voice. His voice is cool to me. I think that adds the aura, dude.

No, like everyone's talking about his voice. I'm going to Chris on that. Yeah. And. I'm paying him to say. Like, fuck. It could have been a pro baseball player. And he's got a college quarterback doing, imitating him.

He's got. He's got baseball aura. Yes. Which is a cool fucking aura if you can pull it off. Yeah. I agree with that. I think the problem with aura is like when you debate it to death, like what we're doing, it's, you just kind of instantly know.

Like, you got it or you don't. Yeah. No. well no that's not true see tom brady tom brady all the combine did not have it you're it it at it bro bro are we a no josh allen is s dude it's lamar is elite along with burrow and josh allen is us with jaden in my opinion and burrow is elite i do kind of agree with that i think i think josh allen is us here yeah and there's nothing to i mean that's nothing to shake a stick at to be at S-tier aura NFL quarterback, dude.

But it's different. His aura is so different than, you know. His aura is like, yeah, I grew up on a fucking cantaloupe farm. And I like playing that's that game you play. Boat, Settlers of Catan. And, you know, I'm dating Haley Steinfeld. Like, I'm married to Haley Steinfeld. Like, like Hertz is in there too.

So there you go. Herbert. Herbert, great quarterback, D-level aura. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. he might be in the Purdy Golf aura. Yeah.

And in fact, the C and the D are kind of all molded together. Yeah. Well, we can, let's navigate that after. Okay. After we, we can sort after. Yeah, we'll put, that'll be reflected. About Donald. Donald is cool, man.

He was pretty cool when I met him. He's middle of the road aura. He really benefited from that year in Minnesota, not just on the field, but his aura, his aura shot up. Because before it's go. Mono. But you know what's cool about him? I remember he was on bussing with the boys.

Shout out to them. Congrats on being rich as fuck, by the way. I think they're both really rich now. They don't call me. We're just poverty franchise. But my boy Jack still checks in on me. Shout out of Jack. Love Jack.

He's got, Jack's got the most aura on that show. No offense to my dogs. No kidding. Jack's got elite aura, dude. But we're talking about, we're talking about Darnold. Darnell was on that show like two, three years ago, and he was like, I'm going to get another chance and I'm going to seize it. And I'm going to do this, that, and the third. And, you know, the guys, I don't know if they believed him at the time, but they're like nodding along.

And it's almost like when that social came out, I remember the replies were like, you know, ghost emojis and shit. To your point, you were talking about some personal interactions with some of these guys. I did have an interaction with him at, and I was ready to put him in D. Darnold. I was going to put him in the D tier. But when we were at that Chris Stapleton concert in New Orleans, I ran to him and Trevor Lawrence, they were both cool as a cucumber.

Not going to lie. You did put, you did put Donald ahead of Lawrence in the ORA department, I remember. Just barely. I'll put them in the same one. I'll put them in like C tier. Top of the C class.

I'd Darnold ahead of Lawrence. Way in. I agree. So put Lawrence in the seat here. As someone who also sat next to him out of Chris Stapleton concert in New Orleans. Yeah. And Donald Bob does sports. He's on Bob does sports all the time.

Yeah, I like Darnell, dude. And again, this isn't likability. It's aura. Yep. Yeah. And what about Jimmy G. For that reason, I like Lawrence even lower, but I won't, I won't belabor it. Jimmy G's aura is so good.

He was, like, just taking porn stars out and, like, had him in public places eating dinner. Like, that's, that's awesome. That's aura. That's aura. But that was like six years ago. I think it has taken a nose time since then. And also there's something to your aura when every chick wants to bang you. Right.

So like I think the really hot quarterback kind of thing wore off. That shine wore off old Jimmy T. I don't think I don't think others would say that. I don't think the opposite sex might say that. One of the most interesting names on the board, Dak Prescott. Quarterback, Dallas Cowboy. He has. He's got the most pros and cons.

Like he is the most weighed out. You know, like a lot of, like everybody else on the sea is like, oh, I'm trying to fight for him, but I can't, or I'm trying to bring him down. I can't. He's got a lot in the pro and a lot in the con because he, you know, flipping those hips on Thursday night, that's a negative. I don't think.

I think that's a positive. And then I think it was cool. I feel like the first time it was cool. But then it gets compared to Russell Wilson doing the snap count by himself, you know? Yeah. Here we go! I think being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys gives you a certain inflation of aura.

Well, right now. Not necessarily, but I'm saying just to wear the star for a long time, like you're just going to absorb some of the aura that comes with having that opportunity. But I just want to say this about Dak, fucking fantastic human being. Like, so cool and down to earth and chill in the limited interactions with him I've had.

And his teammates seem to like him. See. just part of the aura deal. So he's a C. No, he's not like walking around. He didn't walk in a room and you're like, damn, that's Lamar Jackson. But he doesn't walk in a room and you're like, what the fuck is he doing here? Uh, Will Levis to me has aura. Yeah, I absolutely. Can you put Will Will Levis in the S tier? Honestly, it fits. Because, because there's something about being like, hey, I will throw the ball wherever I want. There's something about showing up.

in two teams schedule release videos. Oh, you need to put Menshu in the fucking in the top. Mnchew needs to go on the top. Lamar, Burrow, Mentioner. No brainer. I don't know how that took so long. Pull up the list of the quarterbacks again. All right.

We've got Cooper Ruff. He's not going to go anywhere. Caleb Williams, I don't know what his aura is yet. Undefined. It's like D. I'd say D. Oh, I don't want to put him in D. He could because he's war.

Let's be first on this train. I think it's like Drake may like C up arrow. I want to put Caleb Williams in the B tier. Okay. No. He hasn't earned that yet. I met the guy. He was cool.

He was really cool with the draft. I love his aura. I feel like he earned it in college a little bit, B. You know, like I feel like we're relying too much on NFL like. Prowse. Yeah, yeah. And hey, so you know at the end of this season, there'll be a lot of people wouldn't have put him in the A and B tier.

I think now's the time. We said it last year. He wasn't going to be great out of the gate. Bryce Young's aura is pretty low. We haven't gotten to your favorite quarterback yet. I know we keep skipping over him. You can see for Bryce or D? No.

I think he might be. He at the top. He might be F. No offense to the young man. No, he's F. Or maybe we need to move Russ and Aaron into the poverty. Drew Block F. no i don't know dude drew lock has a bora dude he did he got a polarizing aura he has one of the

best stats of all times it's like it's like of two quarterbacks he's done it and it was the week 17 game last year yes put him in the b's can i make an argument for erin rogers being higher sure no he's got i mean it depends on what at what point in his career can you put can you put packers rogers in s and and then put Jets Rogers in F? Yep. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. So then what? You put, what about Russell? You put Russell's Seahawks? No, he's never had an aura. Never had an aura. Great player. I'm not saying he's a bad guy or anything.

I just used to play again. It's not an aura guy. Unlimited. That whole thing, dude. Like, I'm gonna write down my- My dog and everything, but you don't have an aura. I'm gonna write down my bow-necks aura, so I'm not, uh,

So let's all write down our Bo Nix aura and we'll share them at the same time. Can I see our tears? Yep. Please. Yeah, it's pretty clear to me what he is. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, I got it. Are you ready?

I'm ready. One, two, three. Wow. Mine says B. Mine says D. Oh, my God. He's a B for me. How about Bo's stationary there?

Bo, what's your middle name? It starts with a C. is it Christ My mom got me this for my birthday I love it Take all my little notes on here Check it out That is BCA

It is Close who said You're close with that Cowboy What do you say Christian? Christian Christian

Yeah That's interesting You don't act like one sometimes Bill Christian Nolan where do you have Beau Uh Sorry Hey but Nolan's

Understandably So check out of the aura conversation we're setting a record right now for oras the word aura i didn't i didn't know what or was coming into this segment you still don't know more confused now all right say way more questions and answers say say a player say a position player we'll tell you if he has an aura or not like stevie ray vaughan has one of the best oras of all time he's a he's not a football player but like stevie ray vaughan has an ora jimmy hendricks had an aura basically anybody who can play the guitar really well has an aura. I don't know that Jack Black has an aura, but he, oh, he's got, Jack Black has an aura for sure.

Oh, I'm sorry. I meant, I meant, I meant, I meant, uh, Jack White. Jack White. Yeah, white has it. Oh, you think he has an aura. Jack Black has an aura. I don't know about Jack White. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. I was trying to break the trend of like, who's really good at guitar and doesn't have an aura. Carlos Santana, you could argue, has a great aura. Eric Clapton. Eric Clapton has a negative aura. Yeah. Poverty. He's not, actually, he's not even on poverty. He doesn't make- Dwayne Allman has elite aura. Epic.

God tier. Just like off the chart. Like we need a second monitor to stack on top of the monitor. We're breaking people right now to put Dwayne Allman in the conversation. That's like the 1% graphic. I think Nolan gets it now. Yeah, yeah. I think he can.

I want to hear Nolan just shout out a random player. And we'll say whether or not they have aura. Go ahead. How about friend of the program, Khalil Shakir? He's got a medium aura. like medium to low lower lower lower by the Subaru the Subaru is pretty cool but like someone would argue that takes away from his aura yeah I don't make the rules I say owning it though is pretty yeah that's cool that's like a plus so that's not a great example maybe because he he's

variable so Kirk to me has has he's I think he's got C aura yeah because he's leaned into the lack of aura can we move Trevor Lawrence show is the only Yes, I think Lawrence can be in the Purdy golf. And these are guys we respect. Like we respect the fuck out of these guys. It's not saying when we're moving him down that he's a bad player. That's right. He just makes some bad decisions sometimes.

That's going to stop, though. Duval. Wow, you just went with Nixon the B category, even though two others had him in the D. Wait, but who had him in the D? Chuvis had B. We had D. You and Bo had D? That averaged out to a C, son.

That makes the tie. That average out to a C. Let Tanner, let Tanner break the tie. uh shit he's not gonna like his aura i could tell yeah i would i would just throw him in see can we throw him in see to be to be agreeable yeah see with an up arrow sure and maybe you could put an asterisk just like much disagreement you know the beauty of this is everyone will disagree with all of it oh no question yeah yeah much debated it's well put all right as opposed to to deshawn watson who is

masturbated. Yeah. Can we put him in the poverty aura? Do we put Deshaun already in the poverty aura? Can we put Tommy DeVito up pretty high? You know, add a couple. No?

I know that's all. Tyrod Taylor's aura is pretty high. He's A. Yeah. Can we put him in A? Yep. T. Taylor? What about Mack Jones?

Poverty? Yeah, as I was thinking. Put him in poverty. Put him in poverty. that'll be the first time who is the most aura which quarterback has the most aura of all time your name comes to mind but part of it is because he was first

you know um warren moon is up there for me when you hear the stories about warren moon and how much swag he had like Warren moon is up there um golly I don't think I'm ever going to hear the Warren moon swag stories I don't want to tell you later I think when you're talking about quarterbacks with ORA,

Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Not necessarily, though. I don't need to be Hall of Fame quarterbacks. I think Len Dawson had a lot of aura, smoking cigarettes. I think Joe Montana had a lot of aura. Yeah. The way he carried himself, a lot of aura. Calling his wife on the Sond phone.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. What about Rathlisberger? negative aura just a little bit like just a little bit he's a little low on the list i mean you know if you don't have huge aura playing in that uniform as well as he did then like we're you know where we throwing gino this is the this is the really tough one wait let's write down our genos oh for one reason and one reason only are you ready yeah be be golly beau Chris and Macon B. O. D.

Tanner, you want to break the tie? I mean, can I make my case? Yeah, go ahead. They wrote me off. I ain't right back. He wrote him off, didn't write back back. He got his jaw broken and then came back to be like this fucking, this NFL hero.

And at this age, West Virginia years. He's got a lot of just like, he's got that kind of like field general vibe about him. And you can tell his teammates and his coaches. love him and he will throw the ball right into the bread basket of the other team deep in the red zone as if like it doesn't matter sometimes which is sometimes a little bit

of an aura thing. Yeah. Well I want to know the why does he suck? Tell me why there's no aura. Why he has no aura? Just if you don't have a aura you can't explain it like it just doesn't that's not helping you know it.

Can we look up the Webster's dictionary definition for aura? I'm going to do that right now. aura definition is the distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, place, or thing. No question. Like certain buildings have aura. Candlestick Park had an aura.

Levi's Stadium has a negative aura. We're going to do this next week with stadiums. The baspros shop pyramid, aura. That's got a ton of aura. The one in Memphis? Yeah. Never been. One ago.

Do you remember that guy with the tiny piece jumped into the carp pond at the back of He had his arms over the side, just looking at it. What if at the end of the Prep Farm documentary, they were like, and that was Brett Farm as well? You know, I think we've maxed out the aura conversation, but I told you. I got one more. The worst quarterback in the NFL with the most aura. Do I know who it is? Do you know something about Nathan Peterman?

I don't know. Johnny Mansell, baby. Oh, Mansell had a huge aura, dude. That guy had Max's aura. But didn't work out as a player, but he had like a ton of aura. But that was part of his aura, you know? That's very interesting. Not watching tape.

That's kind of low-fi aura. Final aura list. Bottom to top. Poverty. Russell, Jets, Aaron Rogers, DeShon Watson and Mack Jones. F-tier. We've got Tua, Bryce Young, D. Brock Purdy, Jared Gough, Justin Herbert, Bryce Young, and Trevor Lawrence.

You got it. Two times. God Scott more than that. Bryce Young, two entries. That's nice. That's ORA. That's Ory. We can put input twice.

Who, did I? Yeah. Did I? Did I? No, I was a. C. Fields. Justin Fields. Kyler Murray, Drake May, Kirk Cousins,

Dack Prescott, and Bo Nix, which was much debated. Boy, I think he... B tier. C.J. Stroud. Jordan Love, Sam Darnold, Caleb Williams, and Gino Smith. A tier, Matthew Stafford, Baker, Mayfield, Patrick Mahomes, Terod Taylor, S. Tier, Jaden,

Daniels, Josh Allen, Jalen, Jalen, Hertz, Will Levis, Packers, Aaron Rodgers, and Elite Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Gardner Minchew. I think that's pretty good. I would argue that Kyler might be a D. No argument? Yeah, I agree. Let's move him down. a little closer to the

bottom. Like his height. You got it. And does Bryce Young? Yeah, let's pick one for a hand. Where does he go? I think Young's in the half tier. Yep.

Respectfully. Oh. Because I like the guy. Very respectful. I want him to do well. I think he will do well. Hey, it was a lot of fun today. Bo, thanks for joining us.

Fellas, we got it done. Make, we agreed on most. of that stuff today. It was awesome. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Noel, do you understand ORA? Nope. Okay.

Job well done. Take care.
