So then I can't believe it was a Joshua Dobbs.
They end up signing now to be Jared Goff's backup.
They just had a big injury with their new starting center,
by the way, who went down earlier today.
That's not great because you just paid a running back an awful lot of money.
You need the offensive line to step up here and be able to block.
But I was a little shocked by that.
But Dobbs has been around the corner and listen, you don't stand a shot.
I can't even say it without Jared Goff anyway.
Yeah, I mean, it's Josh Dobbs is not going to carry the Lions
more than a half or a game.
You need Jared Goff and you need that offensive line to be good.
Otherwise, I don't know.
After a disappointing season last year,
especially for a dome team, I hate to see injuries
this time of year with teams like Detroit.
Plus, I do think they're they're poised for a bounce back.
But my goodness, you better be able to keep Goff and company upright.
Otherwise, you're going to have a big problem again this year in that division.
Yeah. And again, I would say this, though, Joe, in fairness to Detroit
and Jared Goff and everyone else, I think that you would say
the same thing about 25 other teams in the NFL.
Like, I really we're at the point now, in my opinion,
is that I don't think we have five good backup quarterbacks in the NFL.
I don't think so.
Is it is it possible that there are one or two or maybe three?
I don't think we have five good backups.
I mean, maybe you do.
I do not think we have five good backups.
Like, like, I think it's fair to say that Atlanta has a starter
and a one a and a one B. So, yeah.
And, you know, like there's a battle going there.
But like you, it's it's also fair to say that like Jacoby Brissette
is the starter in Arizona.
I know he was so good last year,
but he's like a backup quarterback, too.
And so you're going to tell me that we that,
you know, 20 teams in the NFL, when their guys get hurt, I think it's over.
Like when Buffalo's guy gets hurt, it's done.
When the Ravens guy gets hurt, it's done for them, too.
When Dallas's guy goes down, it's always been done.
Whenever he's gone down, their season has gone down, too.
And I think that applies again.
I understand what you're saying there, but I just I think outside of like
a flat is Flacco even on a team like Joe Flacco coming in
to sort of save a couple of weeks and maybe Gardner shoe coming in
to save a couple of weeks like that's about it for me.
Like, I just don't see.
Oh, you know, you know who?
I don't know where he is right now.
You'd have to tell me.
But Mac Jones, that that's a guy that that held it down
when he played last year as a backup quarterback is Mac Jones.
He's in San Francisco.
OK, so that's a good move.
If Brock party goes down, I'll give you that.
Mac Jones could come in.
And that's one right there that I think that could probably keep
the 49ers afloat.
But could you could you give me four other situations
in the NFL where that would happen?
Well, so if a thirty nine year old Matt Stafford gets hurt,
is the Rams season over? Yes.
But you got no love for Ty Simpson
or Stetson Bennett or the over or the system or midway.
And you know, you don't think so.
All right. So you don't think what about Sam Donald?
If Sam Darnold goes down.
Sam Darnold is in Seattle.
Yes. And the backup is.
Does it matter, Sam Darnold?
Yes, it does matter.
I need to know the name, Joe. That's not fair.
What is the backup's name?
It is Chris Coskey.
The season's over. OK, give me the name.
I just go.
And who is back?
Oh, who is it, Chris, for the Seattle Seahawks backing up
the backup quarterback, who's the starter?
Drew Locke.
The season is over.
The season is over. Yes, yes.
Should have been over to begin with.
It's Sam Darnold.
I know that's right, but there's no good backup.
