0:00Yes, he is also my other flag plant at
0:02quarterback because I do think he's
0:03going to be the starter and he gets to
0:05play with Kevin O'Connell.
0:06And he has Justin Jefferson and Jordan
0:08Addison and they had Jauan Jennings
0:10who's a chain mover, T.J. Hockenson,
0:11twilight of his career, not the same
0:13player, but still like better than a lot
0:14of tight ends in the NFL. So, I get
0:17a quarterback that is going to run
0:20around. He's not going to get the
0:20rushing touchdowns, but he's now going
0:23to play in probably the best scheme ever
0:24of his career.
0:26And when I look at O'Connell, man, talk
0:28about quarterback whisperer. I know it
0:30didn't work out last year with with
0:32McCarthy, right? It was absolutely
0:33terrible and it hurt a lot of our
0:35fantasy seasons.
0:36But, I'm just going to give you the
0:38games played by these quarterbacks and
0:39how many yards per game they average
0:41under O'Connell. Carson Wentz last year
0:43in four games averaged 261 yards. Carson
0:45Wentz. J.J. McCarthy was at 168. So,
0:49not good. Sam Darnold, 254.
0:52Kirk Cousins, 291. Josh Dobbs, 208, not
0:55great, but Nick Mullens, 370. Nick
0:58Mullens was at 370 in three games under
1:00O'Connell in 2023. Kirk Cousins at 281
1:03in 2022. [music]
1:04So, I'm not under the illusion that I
1:07still think that Kyler Murray can be
1:09this elite passer in the league, but do
1:11I think that he can be good enough that
1:13like he could be in the top 12 this year
1:15in Kevin O'Connell's scheme with these
1:17weapons? Yeah, like you bet your ass I
1:19do.
