00:00Joe, you played quarterback at an incredibly high level.
00:04You have a Super Bowl ring to show for it.
00:08What can you say about what Jaden Daniels is doing?
00:12I, you know, it leaves you speechless.
00:15I mean, he's, you know, he's playing as well
00:18as any quarterback in football,
00:21irrespective of whether you're a rookie
00:23or whether you're a, you know, 10, 12 year vet,
00:25eight year vet, he's playing at a level Lamar Jackson,
00:29Josh Allen, he's playing at that kind of a level.
00:33The games have been suspenseful
00:34where it's all been on his shoulders to make a throw.
00:37The last touchdown he threw last night
00:39was one of the most impressive things I saw
00:42with everything collapsing around him.
00:45He just threw a dart.
00:46And here's the thing,
00:47when you have athleticism like he does,
00:50when you have the ability to run like he does,
00:53it takes an incredible amount of discipline
00:56to stay in the pocket
00:57and not be affected by everything that is happening
01:00within this little three yard space around you.
01:04Most guys just take off and go.
01:07You know, I call it seeing ghosts.
01:09They think they feel pressure, but they have time.
01:11Jaden doesn't.
01:13You know, and his elusiveness is something,
01:16I mean, I could put a list of 10 things,
01:1915 things up and say, he does this, he does this,
01:22he does this, he does this, and check every one of them.
01:25I mean, he's just, he's a very, very special talent.
01:28And you know, to me as a rookie,
01:30I think he's a generational talent.
