The “My Guys” Episode + Players to Forgive: LIVE in LA

But I think he's one of the few players. You have to identify these guys that can make a jump so that you can take somebody at 6-11 and end up with a wide receiver 2 or a wide receiver 1. And he at least flashed last year enough to give you those kind of weeks in a four-week stretch, has to stay healthy. But he added 10 pounds of weight this year. He was kind of a spelt guy. He's got – Take a few hits. Jimmy Garoppolo, all hot and bothered. He really, really does. I don't want to get into his maturing body like we did on previous live shows.

Thank you. They're our children. Yeah. But I'm all in on Dante Pettis. What do you guys think? We, you know, peel back that silk curtain. Well, actually. I wanted Dante Pettis as my-my guy, but I couldn't have because you have. It's funny. Brooks was looking up some stuff because I wanted him to check for me. Because you were a little bit out on Pettis for a brief little moment and I actually found a quote. Okay. Oh, no. Tate Pettis. Stinks. I said this weeks ago. He still stinks and he's going to continue to stink.

I don't think that was doctored in any way. Oh, that's good. I mean, Dante Pettis? Stinks. I mean, it sounds so natural. You're clearly out on him, but I... He stinks. Come on back. Dante Pettis stinks. He is bad at football. Yes, I have always hit a Dante Pettis. I'm glad you found that clip. Well done, Brooks. Oh, yes. Thank you, Brooks. All right. I'm going to jump in here. Drump?

Whatever. I'm going to jump in here with my third, my guy. That's where you jump in with the drums. Yes. If only, if only I could. I'm glad you like Robert Woods because I like the guy who's throwing him the ball. It's Jared Garf. That's Mr. Garf to you. Look, Jared Goff. He is being drafted. Two rams. Yeah, very nice.

Look, I didn't. One from Los Angeles, one from St. Louis. Very special. Look, I'm not the one who's controlling that he's being drafted as the 12th quarterback off the board. Last year he, oh yeah, he sucks. He was a top 6 QB over 31% of his games. That's the same as Aaron Rogers, Russell Wilson, Infinite Darkness, and Deshawn Watson. Yeah, he really, really sucks.

He was second in completions of over 20 plus yards behind only the great Patrick Mahomes. Last year, the Rams were second in total offensive yards, fifth in passing, second in scoring, fourth in yards, or in yards from scrimmage. Plus Robert Woods. Plus Robert Woods is there. They are a great offense. And here's the thing about Jared Goff. He's actually getting better. And Sean McVeigh trusts him to do more. He went from...

3,800 yards and 28 touchdowns on 477 attempts, all the way to 4,600 yards and 32 touchdowns in 561 attempts, and that's while losing his best red zone option for half the season in Cooper Cup. And you know I like talking about regression and positive regression. Here's an interesting nugget. Last year, there was three quarterbacks.

with 100 or more targets inside the red zone. And here's what happened. Patrick Mahomes, 103 targets turned into 35 touchdowns. Andrew Luck, 100 targets turned into 33 touchdowns. Jared Goff, 101 attempts, only turned into 23 touchdowns. There is room for growth for Jared Goff inside the red zone.

The Rams have three wide receivers being drafted inside the top 50, and people don't want the guy throwing the ball. It's absolutely ridiculous. And I sort of understand. The Super Bowl felt like Uncle Bill was at the end of the Wizard of Oz, and he pulled that curtain, and he realized, oh, it's only a man.

But that guy was pretty awesome at his job of fooling people. Look, Jared Goff is a good quarterback who is getting better and playing for one of the best offensive coaches the NFL has ever seen. Sean McVeigh is like 23 years old. Not really. I'm being hyperbolic, but he's young. Jared Goff is young. He's younger than Jason. What is this? What is this attack on Jason's age? I love it. I love it.

Hey, this is great. It's not about my weight. Don't worry. That's coming. I'm not touching it. The 12th quarterback off the board, according to Fantasy Football Calculator, meaning he could be literally the last quarterback taken in a draft, a guy who finishes the QB7 last year with room to grow. I just don't understand. All hail? Yes, the king. The king got free. Cheered.

So he's my guy. I'm targeting him late in every draft. Look, all right. I love it. We talk every year about late round drafting. The fact that taking as great as Pat Mahomes was last year, he was a late round draft pick. Drafting early quarterbacks is going to hurt your overall roster if you're in a single quarterback league. And all three of us have a late round, great option at quarterback. And I love all three. Pretty much every draft I'm wanting to get one of our three my guys at quarterback. So my last.

My guy, I'm going to ask a couple questions first. Do you like Christian McCaffrey? Yeah. Is he a pretty good pass catcher? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. So I'm just asking the people. Yes, he is. He's great, Jason. Mike and Andy, do you guys? I feel like a bit of a pun, Mike. Andy, do you like Curtis Samuel this year? I'm a big fan. Breakout chance? I like him a lot. Mike.

Even with your love for Curtis Samuel. Sure. Who do you expect to have more fantasy points on the season? Curtis Samuel or DJ Moore? Currently DJ Moore. That's another great option. The Kool-Aid Man approved. Now, Andy. Andy, I have heard tale that you are a B-League championship winning quarterback. Is this true? In the Peoria Flag Football League, yes. Yes, is true.

We're a world champion in that city. So with great insight to the quarterback position, would you like to have Hall of Famer Greg Olson as your fourth option on the field? It would be helpful, yeah. Do you like quarterbacks who finish in the top three on the season? Yeah, I have a big man. Do you like questions? Do you like...

Quarterbacks late in drafts like ninth round. But here's the most important question. And that's really the only question that matters. Do you like to scoot, scoot, scoot your booty? Oh. Look. Who is it, though? It's Cam Newton. It's booty scooting Cam Newton. Here's a deal. And I'll just give a couple little factoids here. You can decide if you want them or not. Do you like facttoids?

In five seasons that he's had with 16 games played, he averages the quarterback 2.5. Like, he's better than the quarterback three on average. Every single year that he plays a season in its entirety, he is one of the best three quarterbacks every single time. In 2018 last year, he hurt his shoulder, okay? He had a rookie DJ Moore, essentially a rookie Curtis Samuel.

Everyone's favorite butt of the joke, Devin Funches, was there, and injured Greg Olson and Cam Newton through the first 12 weeks was the quarterback four. He was the fourth best quarterback in fantasy at week 12, hurt his shoulder, had to go. And I know a lot of people this year, because he's the ninth drafted quarterback, they're like, they're worried about the surgery. They're worried about the shoulder.

They just want somebody new. And they want someone new. They're like, yeah, he's too good all the time. I'm not going to get any glory if I draft Cam Newton. You know what? You're going to get a championship. Yeah. He had surgery this offseason. He had the exact same surgery cleanup procedure in March of 2017. You know, the year where he finished the quarterback, too. I'm not worried. Cam Newton. He's my third quarterback late round.

My guy. Grab Jared Goff, Cam Newton, or Carson Wince as your quarterback, and bypass the early round guys. Stack your running backs. Stack your wide receivers. Get hashtag flip clan titles. So Carson Wins, Chris Carson, Dante Pettis, Mike, your three my guys. Jared Goff, James Connor, and Robbie Anderson. Robert Woods, Cam Newton, and carry on. Yes, yes, yes.

We're going to get primed up. You guys ready for a mailbag, a live mailbag? And those of you who are already selected for the mailbag, I assume you're all getting ready to ask those questions right now. Get primed. Get ready. Warm up your voice. We're ready to answer some questions. Los Angeles. Are you ready for the mailbag drop? Oh, yeah. Are the people over here ready for a mailbag drop? Let's get house lights. Let's get houselights now. Yeah. Whoa, there's people here.

They came out, man. They came out. All right. You guys ready? All right, we're good. Here we go. Mailbag. Not bad. St. Louis, you showed up. First question. All right, let's hear it. Speak loud into the mic. What's your name, sir? Logan. What up, Logan? What's up, buddy? Oh, is that a spitballer's shirt? Yes. Oh, my man. All the spitwads out in force. What's up, Logan? What's up? What's your question, buddy?

Since I am nine years old, what video games should I try out that came before my time and why? Oh, great question. Look, first of all, that's a great question. He's nine. He wants to be a man of art, a philosopher, and dive into video games that he should play that were before his time. My friend...

Pick up a Super Nintendo Classic and play The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past. The greatest video game that has ever been created. It's a world. High Rule is a world of mystery and a wonder. And I wish I was there right now. This is a great question. It's a great Spitballers question as well. So if y'all ain't listening to the Spitballers podcast, listen up. It's us talking just about nonsense. Which is just like this. Just like this.

Uh, I'm going to recommend, look, I realize everyone's on Twitter getting their Madden codes or whatever, but if you want to go back and play where football really began, Tecmo Super Bowl, that's where it's at. You're going to enjoy it. Where men become men. I'll throw Super Mario World out there. Oh, yeah. That's, of course. That was my game. Of course.

Thank you for your question. Thank you so much. Appreciate your support, buddy. Awesome job. Next question. Oh, my goodness. It's Butterface. It is the one and only Butterface. What we can't show you is a man in a hoodie who's wearing a mask that is a waffle, a waffle for a face. Sir, what's your name? My name is Mr. Butterfield. Mr. Butterface. Mr. Butterface. I don't like mustard on my waffles.

What's your question, sir? I live in my mom's basement, but my question was, who's going to have the most top 12 weeks at their position, but not end the season as an RB1 or a wide receiver one. Ooh. Interesting. It's like the reverse of Mari Cooper. Yeah. Yeah. Most top, so the most consistent but ends up outside that range. So the Frank Gore-esque type of player. Sure. The Jason Whitten-knit tight-in type of player.

who at the end of the season always ends up there. Yeah, I think you're right, Andy. Lamar Miller. You couldn't even get it out. No, I try. And you know, look, I like him, and I do believe that if things go the right way for him, he could easily be in the top 12, but I think he will have spike weeks. He'll juice you up for a couple weeks and then be a little eh sometimes because he's a rookie.

I'm going to go with David Montgomery from the Chicago Bears. David I'm Opportunity. I love Michael Keaton. Okay. All right. Well, thanks. You got one? Yeah, I mean, I think of Derek Henry. I feel like he's going to be one of those guys. He has his games. He finishes an RB1, but it's more about which games does he get game scripted out of and fall so irrelevant on the week that he might not land in the top 12.

What about Keenan? What about Keenan Allen? He could. We'll see. Depends on Melva Gordon, if he's there or not. And on Keenan Allen's current health. Sure. All right. Next question. Thank you, Mr. Butterface. Don't melt. How's going, ballers? What's up, man? What's your name? Thank you for coming to Los Angeles. Oh, thank you. I wanted to ask, which guy are you happy to draft on your team yet?
