00:00 But the reality is, I want to know, you think Fields is going to end up in Pittsburgh, but
00:08 I saw the odds say Atlanta still has the edge.
00:12 That's why the time is to jump in now, Scott.
00:14 The oddsmakers, this is a good thing.
00:16 This isn't like a computer.
00:17 It's not a game.
00:18 They don't have simulations for this.
00:20 They're at the mercy of media reports.
00:21 They don't really know.
00:23 Atlanta, everybody thinks Atlanta because it makes sense for Atlanta.
00:29 A lot of things make sense, Scott, in the NFL.
00:31 It's not a logical leak.
00:33 And let's just backtrack a little bit here.
00:36 The Atlanta Falcons, Lamar Jackson was open to playing for Atlanta.
00:40 Arthur Blank was getting pressure from his fan base to make an offer when he was available.
00:44 He didn't.
00:45 Oh yeah, Justin Fields is from Atlanta.
00:48 They could have drafted him.
00:49 They didn't.
00:50 Have the Atlanta Falcons, seriously, besides Matt Ryan, Scott, have they shown anything
00:57 that they want these big time quarterbacks?
00:59 They gave the job to Desmond Ritter.
01:01 How did they figure, well, Ritter isn't good.
01:03 How do we solve this?
01:04 Let's bring in Heineke.
01:06 They don't seem to me to be a team.
01:08 Justin Fields, you don't have to give up that much to get him, but you're going to have
01:12 to pay him after, right?
01:14 He's been in the league long enough.
01:15 You're going to have to pay the guy.
01:17 And I think if you're the Falcons, I think they'd rather pay Kirk Cousins.
01:20 I think they might look and say, you know what?
01:23 Let's draft JJ McCarthy with the eighth pick overall and let him just manage all this skill
01:27 around us that we have and pay him a rookie contract.
01:31 I don't think, just because the media thinks that it's logical.
01:36 Like I said, he's from Atlanta.
01:37 They could have drafted him.
01:38 They didn't.
01:39 They knew Matt Ryan was done.
01:40 They didn't draft him.
01:41 Like, R for Blank, they have to pay other players on the team as well.
01:45 I'm just not convinced, bro.
01:46 I don't care what the odds are.
01:47 I'm not convinced.
01:49 So then I start to think, all right, where is he going to end up?
01:53 The Pittsburgh Steelers.
01:54 They really just, it makes perfect sense.
01:57 It makes perfect sense.
01:58 They're looking for somebody.
02:00 You don't have to give up very much.
02:02 You're talking about a second round pick and a fourth round pick.
02:06 We've all heard the talk about Mike Tomlin believing in Justin Fields, thinking that,
02:10 you know what?
02:11 This kid could be a big time quarterback in the right situation.
02:14 And Pittsburgh might be the right situation.
02:15 Let me ask you, as a Steeler fan, would you rather Justin Fields as Kenny Pickett as your
02:20 quarterback this year?
02:21 I think the answer is Justin Fields, isn't it?
02:23 Yeah, without a doubt.
02:25 Without a doubt, I think he's better than Pickett.
02:29 He's dangerous, fleet of foot, can do it all.
02:33 I think he can throw the ball.
02:34 I never thought he had great receivers.
02:35 And in the offense, where he's handing it off to Warren and to Harris, you mix it up
02:39 a little bit, throw him the ball.
02:41 He would be a good fit with the Pittsburgh.
02:43 I think it's a good fit, Scott.
02:44 It's not crazy, Dick.
02:45 It's plus 400 only.
