00:00I love his confidence. I love that it's right there on the border of,
00:06young man, you have no idea what's getting ready to happen to you.
00:11But everywhere that he's gone, he's been able to navigate that and be fine.
00:20So I don't, I would disagree that there are two possibilities. I think there's almost an infinite
00:25number of possibilities along that continuum. Everything from being the greatest quarterback
00:32who's ever lived to being a guy who's going to struggle to adapt to the NFL and bust out.
00:41Now, chances are neither one of those is going to happen. And I keep saying this,
00:46when I look at the continuum, the largest, the largest section, as I see it says,
00:53very good NFL quarterback. The highest likelihood is he's eventually a very good NFL quarterback.
01:01And you're actually, that's actually being generous considering
01:06what number one picks and first round quarterback picks have done over the last 15 years.
01:12I thought you were going to talk about team history because there has never,
01:16ever been a more confident first round draft pick quarterback, perhaps than Cade McNown.
01:24I mean, he was cocky, arrogant beyond cocky and not professionally. So that he was
01:31even before the draft, he's like anybody who doesn't draft me is making a mistake.
01:35And I'm okay with that. Like I I'm okay with that level of I'm really good. The problem is that
01:42there wasn't the professionalism that Caleb is already shown. It's not even close, but I just,
01:47those of us who are still have these flashbacks, I mean, Jim McMahon, maybe the most confident
01:54bears quarterback when he got out of his limo, drinking a beer, half in the bag for his press
01:59conference. I mean, that was pretty sweet, pretty easy to be confident when you're handing the ball
02:05off to Walter Payton and Dan Hampton is getting you the ball back from the other team.
02:11And there's what, two hall of fame offensive linemen on that team now.
