00:00All we know about Jordan Love is one year as a starter, first half of the year, not

00:04very impressive.

00:06Second half of the year, very impressive.

00:08Playoff win on the road, good for you, put it on your resume.

00:12But to go from a guy who hadn't played to one half of a year to one playoff win, that's

00:20what gets guys like Daniel Jones $45 million or whatever his number is, and that's what

00:25gets a guy like Jordan Love $55 million.

00:28Crazy.

00:29One half of a season, because rather than an organization saying, got to see a little

00:35more and willing to take the risk, and by the way, I'm also willing to take the risk

00:39to go back into the draft and find myself a young quarterback or find myself a veteran

00:44backup quarterback.

00:45It could be a Jacoby Brissett who could maybe get you half a season.

00:48Maybe it could be a Gardner Minshew that might get you half a season.

00:51But these teams don't have the guts to start over at quarterback, so they just sign these

00:57guys for insane contracts.

00:59And I hope for Jordan Love's sake, hey, live up to it, outperform it, kind of questioning

01:04it.

01:05Hey, same goes for a lot of these guys that are on the top 10 list now, other than Joe

01:08Burrow, frankly.

01:10To me, Joe Burrow is a proven commodity.

01:13Trevor Lawrence?

01:14Question mark.

01:15Jordan Love?

01:16Question mark.

01:17Wow.

01:18What?

01:19Wow.

01:20The biggest question mark is the guy you're about the name.

01:22Tua.

01:23Yes.

01:24Tua in Miami, $53 million.

01:27You know what?

01:29I believe in Tua.

01:30I think Tua could be a really great player.

01:33But along the way, there's been a lot of injuries.

01:34Alex, put that back up on the screen for one second.

01:37Burrow, $55 million.

01:38Trevor Lawrence, $55 million.

01:40Jordan Love, $45 million.
