Kurt is awesome.
the eye liner is wild though
Steelers beat him baby super bowl
he looks ridiculous
Kurt talks football, Rich and his buddies are reality tv hosts.
Kurt is so intelligent, and so analytical that my brain grows tired. I appreciate that he is not just performative, and goes for the soundbite. He is too good for mainstream media.
Kurt makes a great point that when someone feels threatened, it’s a natural reaction to go into ‘survival mode’. It’s when in survival mode that self-reflection and self-improvement cease to happen. Throw into the mix how much inconsistent messaging guys get when they bounce around teams - it’s no wonder many stop developing when they get to the NFL.
pure gold YT comment
Great show Rich, Warner is dope
@ 2:50 Kurt W blows me away. He outlines that 2 decades ago you could win with other tools. Shut down D, RB (like Roger Craig, or Bettis) premier LB, or WR..... very good point. Imgunna have to think on dis....
Excellent show.
Kurt is a class act!!
Purdy and Stroud coming in right away and balling out are phenoms
gotta figure out the NFL game quick
Purdy is not CJ- 2 different levels.
Freaks.
@OhioVworld correct.. Purdy wins more 😃. But since you're an Ohio state fan, I understand.. cj is amazing
Purdy and Stroud are definitely amazing, but they aren’t the first QBs to look that good that early.
Great show
I recently watched highlights from 99 season. That Rams team might of been the best Ive ever seen.
Love Kurt.
The last six minutes of this is fkng 🔥 John ! 👏
Damn Kurt got all dolled up for this interview! 😁
Guessing a studio spot right before and just went… ehhh fine. Leave the lip gloss and eyebrows.
Thats some Zesty Makeup
Not paying first rounders 50 mil before they ever take a snap impacts things too. Looking at you Jamarcus Russell
in the world of NILs would Jamarcus have even survived long enough to get drafted or would have self destructed in college?
They stopped that a long time ago. Hasn't been a issue for what almost a decade, or longer.
@@yurky1 Yep. Sam Bradford was the last rookie QB who got that giant contract right away. He could have been great but had lots of injuries.
Rich that waba great interview with Kurt Warner.
Kurt is a quarterback's quarterback :-) So Zach Wilson would have been great had he sat 1-2 years under an Aaron Rodgers? I think the mentoring effect is overrated but I trust Kurt more than myself on matters of QB.
whats with the eyeliner
Doesn’t he look dolled up a bit plasticy
Rich Eisen definitely eats Dino Nuggies for Din Din
Raiders gave up a third round pick for martavis Bryant but dying at QB won't make a play for Justin fields
If more than half of the QBs selected in the first round wash out, what does analytics dictate teams approach should be in finding a QB? Excellent coaching and coordinating should be job one.
Please keep in mind that all these same characters and commenters were very, very excited about Johnny Manziel.
Mel Kiper is the worst. Every year, most QB "sure things" are a bust and yet every year, most of us still get caught up in the hype machine.
The marketing ability of the upcoming QB draft classes industry to keeping sucking people in is more impressive than anything.
Geno Smith sat forever
A good question? The answer is no, you wouldn’t have made it. Who really makes it after taking the route Kurt took? He deserves a ton of credit for sticking it out. He is also very lucky he was on the Rams when those injuries hit the QB room. Life is full of sliding doors.
Tom Brady is the other guy who had luck (good for him, bad for Drew Bledsoe) on his side. Without that injury, Brady may have ridden the bench for awhile. And without the tuck rule, perhaps his career kinda peters out in a couple years. Sliding doors indeed.
Without the tuck rule the Raiders go to the Superbowl. Good luck to Tampa getting Jon Gruden at that point. Lots of doors.
May as well add Brock Purdy to that list. If Lance became the guy that the 49ers thought deserved 3 first round picks, then we wouldn't have seen Mr Irrelevant.
Rich is so obsessed with Wilson/Fields that he’s literally asking everrrryone the same questions about them. All because he said Pickett would compete with Wilson…..oops 😂
Exactly. You have stragglers out here still trying to promote anti-Russ narratives, and most haters have moved on to other things.
Kurt knows, I watched him play in Iowa many years ago. You could hear the ball go bye!
His not wrong. Let your rookie sit a couple of years. Plug him in when you can let him grow reep the rewards in years 3 on 😊
okay but are you going to pay 140 million in their second contact in order to figure them out.
Even Eisen disagreed, in prior conversations it was said they have low snap count, not enough time to acclimate in training camp, no playing time.
It shouldn’t be that we sit them, we should have a rookie development league, along with red-shirts so if they sit they get paid the same rookie scale that you designate when they first get drafted. This way teams don’t get penalized financially for what you are asking for.
@@jhinckle90 ya if they are worth it
@@brianferguson9483 that’s such a bland and non decipherable if they are worth it, if you are figuring them out by their second contact that’s not worth it, I’m sorry it’s like marriage. If you are on the fence at four years, why stay with a person if there is zero future and also concerns of if they are right for you?
Rookie QBs should be sitting on the sidelines calling in plays for the coaches Then go sit on the bench and study the plays to point out what works and what doesn’t. The veteran QB , even if he’s struggling should stay in unless there’s injury or a tricky play. The rookies need to learn the system from their veteran before being forced into a situation where the rookie might not be ready.
The problem starts at the top. The GM is given limited amount of time, which means the HC gets a limited amount of time which then means the QB gets a limited amount of time. It seems the whole concept of build and develop has gone by the wayside and replaced by the microwave/instant results concept. It's hurting the soul of the game.
Like the Kade Warner ball👍
If Jake Delhomme had won that SB against Brady, hed probably be interviewed for this also. Dude CLAWED through europe and practice squads to get a starting shot.
Delhomme was a backup in New Orleans to Aaron Brooks and Jeff Blake. He got picked up by Carolina and went to the Superbowl.
Fans are unrealistic and demanding of instant perfection and coaches of instant amazing performance Kurt you are saying exactly what I have been saying about Josh Dobbs ping ponged around the league with no stability, nor appropriate development. Fans are appalling and frankly embarrassing
Kurt gets it, it’s not that hard to understand. Common sense gets lost among these talking heads
Kurt is so right
really not at all lol
yes his point about how quarterbacks are asked to do more means they are more critical and thus asked to do more, but this issue is because salaries for them are so inflated because of this. You can’t and don’t want to pay 200 million dollars over four years to a player who is middle of the road, hasn’t proven they can win, let alone 140 million over that span.
I believe it Russ is still a really good QB if you give him the weapons to work with. Just with Pit picking up Russ they got not just better they're probably a contender now. The rest of the teams in the div seem to be getting worse.
Studyball is a good CZcams channel.
Billy Bob Thornton dropping knowledge
UFL needs to become developmental league
Aaron had Brett.
No guarantees, of course. But the Bears has to feel good knowing that Kurt Warner says that Caleb Williams is the best prospect in this draft class.
Caleb has “bust” written all over him.
Brenda did an excellent job on the hair. At a minimum, Zach Wilson needed a veteran mentor as the initial starter/eventual backup. Teams have limited patience today. Fields supporting cast the first two seasons in Chicago was a joke. Turned the corner last half of last season and gone.
Did Kurtie get some work done?
they didnt mention the europe league in his documentary> Weird?
You are what you are
Can we talk about what the real root cause is of this?.. It’s the rookie pay scale caps that cause this new QB environment. Sam Bradford and prior, NFL teams would sign guys to record contracts over 6-7 years. Some guys were top half of the league salary guys right away where now the rookie QB contract is a market value and you are only obligated to carry that contract for 4 years. The salary control on rookie qb deals makes it much easier to move off a guy now where 15-20 years ago you had just tied your future to a guy for 6 years before he ever put on an NFL and hugs the Commissioner.
love the name..im a knower
So Russell Wilson and Justin Fields don't read defenses as well. Probably Prescott in that list. They need things a lot more simplified for them. Unlike QBs such as Stroud, Purdy, Love, and Mayfield who can made/adjust throws based on the defense post-snap.
I respect Kurt, no doubt. I don't think I've gotten over NFL free agency and now we're adding NIL. All of these decisions are based on profit. Just an observation
Why does Kurt have guyliner on?! He looks like he’s from some 80’s band.
At first I thought it was an episode of VH1 Where are they Now...Simon LeBon of Duran Duran.
What kills me as a Bears fan is we basically traded Justin Fields and our 2024 2nd Rounder to the Steelers, for Chase Claypool and essentially a 2025 6th rounder.
And now Claypool is gone and we had to practically beg the Dolphins to take him in a pick swap. All this over the course of two years, but still...
Fields is just a backup so no big deal there. The Claypool trade was MORONIC.
Man those veneers are way too white on Kurt
Kurt looks skinny. I hope all is good with him.
I was going to write the same thing...
I was gonna make the same comment. But I think it’s just the lighting.
Yeah it's the lighting, his bottom teeth look weird too.
You can see the lighting he is using being reflected in his eyeballs. It's just too bright! He needs to tone it down!
He’s healthy lol
Love ya Kurt, but maybe a little less eye-shadow next time, haha! Maybe its Maybelleine?
When they just throw the QB out there and state, just find a way to win, management is saying we need you to do stuff you dont do to win. That is the recipe to lose and fail because youre being told to do stuff your judgement history told you not to do that.
"...you still have to play Buffalo, your still have to play the Chiefs..."
Ok, Russ beat both of them last year..
We don't know the future but let's not forget the (recent) past either.
I'm glad that the UFL has some traction. It'll maybe gives guys who are like practice team quality a chance to grow, and maybe guys who didn't get drafted a chance to put film out there. One thing that makes soccer, in every other country than the US, so good is... there's Division 1, 2, 3 and in some cases like England, down to Division 8. The best players end up playing at the top level. Additionally, coaches and referees are just more finely honed. Its why the US hasn't had a good soccer coach... ever.
The difference is that every one of those world leagues has relegation. Can you imagine there being a promotion/relegation agreement between the UFL and the NFL? Might be awesome, but I can't see it happening.
@@timbeyers58 relgation and winner's bonus on top of base salary, i.e. winning should be rewarded
Fields will have to ho out like Trubisky for rich to admit he’s just not good enough. A year?? He got 3 rich, come on man
"More than anything else I want to make sure my quarterback can process"- Kurt Warner. So what are your thoughts on Russ?...ha
The issue isn’t this, you aren’t focusing on the real issue, dancing around it. It’s the cost of a huge contract, they are making north of 150 million and quarterbacks aren’t settling on low contracts. Agents balk at this, and so would you pay a player 25 million a season for four years to just be figuring them out?
If you want quarterbacks to sit why don’t you offer teams a chance to red shirt players to add on a couple years, so if they sit their contact is extended a couple more years, or longer contracts onto rookie scales then!
He’ll Jones is making a huge amount just a mid to below average quarterback.
Kurt honest about the prospect of drafting a QB: none are guaranteed to improve enough from college to be a career QB.
As a Steelers fan, if a big mistake was made with Kenny Pickett it was denying him an appropriate offensive coordinator. When you look at Kenny's stats he is historically terrible. Some of this was the play calling and the lack of good design that even a casual fan could see. But the performances were so poor, scoring was so low, and defensive injuries were so common because of extra snaps, I think that the new OC was just not into betting on Pickett.
Luv Kurt. But why's he looking like he's a magician 🎩 now
Is Pittsburgh naming Wilson the starter another fugazi? They said they weren't interested in a veteran with starter experience, then signed Wilson...is this another mislead?
Russ is an exception, and the Steelers were probably playing coy with the other teams to ensure that they all waited until free agency began. Notice how the Steelers sneaked on and pounced on Russ before free agency even began. They advised Russ’s agent, mark Rogers, to request from the Broncos early permission to speak with teams, which they granted. Then they pounced on Russ before Atlanta, Las Vegas, or Minnesota could even speak to him.
That stutter is crazy 3:04
JF was getting better every year with the worst supporting cast yet they traded him.
They gave him DJ Moore. He’s legit…
I totally agree. Time will tell. I wish the best for Justin and Caleb.
Regardless, if the Bears felt he was getting better every year, they would have hung onto him. If the fans had accepted the Bears drafting Caleb and keeping Fieids for a QB competition, they would’ve kept him, but they felt it would be controversial and noisy for no reason.
Furthermore, if they felt he had any chance of beating out Russ, they would NIT have sent him to Pittsburgh. It wouldn’t have been in the Bears’ best interest to jettison Fields for Williams, watch Williams struggle, and then see Fields starting and playing good football.
Fields requested Pittsburgh when he thought his competition would be Kenny a Pickett. Once the Steelers signed Russ, I don’t think Fields wanted Pittsburgh, but the Bears did, and they traded him there to burry him at #2 or even #3 on the depth chart.
Teams will always do what makes them look good first. They didn’t trade Fuekds to Pittsburgh to do Fiekds solid. They did it because they knew he had almost zero chance of ever starting over Russ.
Remember who the new Bears O.C. is: former Seahawks O.C. Shane Waldron. He knows a little bit about Russ, yeah???
For first time I DISAGREE with Kurt. Saying " I dont know..." means we are not going to wait & see. Allow young QB to develope. NFL has become cur throat & Greedy.
Love Kurt Warner, but I disagree with every point he tried to make. He seemed reluctant to criticize NFL teams for poor QB development.
Fields looks better than Warner did for majority of his career and Warner made it into the Hall. These teams and the media will ruin Justin Fields.
Name 1 QB that has gone through what Fields has gone through with the coaching carousel and OL issues and was successful. I’ll wait! Name the last QB that was successful in Chicago in recent history! I’ll wait!
Just call it out! Chicago doesn’t know how to develop QB talent and the NFL has turned into an instant gratification organization. If you don’t instantly win, you’re gone.
I really think Russell Wilson will win a super bowl with Pittsburgh. Go Steelers !
First of all, it amazes me that this show gets 70,000 views and someone who has a "fake" site that shows this show, gets 50,000 views. I got to assume simply posting someone else's videos are making someone some real money.
Anyway, what struck me about this show was a couple of things, one, picking quarterbacks in the draft is pretty much a wash. I just saw some stats the other day, which show first round draft picks (since 2013) are one game under .500, while all the rest are at .500, so, the SAME RECORD.
So, how long do you give a quarterback? Clearly the Steelers saw a couple of years of Justin Fields losing and said "we like what we see" but they gave Mason Rudolph less than one year, which by the way, he mostly did alright, but was knocked senseless in Baltimore (where his QB rating was almost twice as good as Lamar Jackson's that day) and then purposely assaulted on the head, with a deadly weapon in another game, along with never proven accusations of racism. His only other real chance was last year and he posted a rating over 115.
Kenny Pickett was thrown into the fire, given almost two years and clearly did not have the confidence of the team, but never got a chance outside of the Matt Canada era. So, why are these players given little time, while it's smart to allow 4,5 or 6 years for someone else?
The top passer last year was Brock Purdy. Now, think about what would have happened to Brock Purdy if Trey Lance was halfway decent or if Jimmy stayed healthy and played well. Would we ever know who Brock Purdy is? Would he ever of started? Likely, he would have not suited up, be used as the 3rd QB like the last man drafted normally does and somewhere in the future, the team drafts a 3rd or 4th rounder to replace him.
Justin fields is the most privileged qb in history. No other qb could have had 3 horrific seasons that he’s had and still be talked about in a positive light. “Not a lot of patience these days” - what are you supposed to do?? You look at hisn3 dogshit seasons, you look at all his dogshit stats, you watch Jordan love spank his butt last game of the season and what? Come to the conclusion that he just needs another 5 years to become a competitive qb? Fields has many many many friends in high places.
Rich Eisen keeps trying to entice his guests into a Russ-bashing session, and none of them will do it.
Why do people think Justin fields gonna turn into something? Maybe this just what he is…
Why is Kurt’s eyebrow tucked behind his brow?
Damn, Kurt is long winded
Don’t like Caleb’s mindset probably going to be a bust
Iw Kurt wearing eye liner 🤨
Ok I thought it was just me.
= > - nice try, Rich.
Bears should have kept JF and draft CW. Let’s CW sit for a year or two. But, Bears as an organization is pathetic so here we go again.
Take that poster off your wall Kurt, you already said you’re a Cardinal. Stafford is miles clear of you
See a therapist and address your butthurt.
he is looking more and more like his wife ...with that make up on
😂😂😂😂bro
The cope is real with Kurt, still bringing up Russ’s Seattle days..thats 3 years ago...Fields going to end up taking the job
Kurt wearing makeup lol?
Rich is still hating on Russ and I just don’t get it 🤦🏾♂️
Limiting the reads... simpler type system... that is the type of QB Russ is.
Russ doesn’t need simplicity. Shane Waldron and Brian Schottenheimer ran sophisticated offenses, and Russ did just fine with them.
What he needs is a reliable TE sho can not only catch passes but block, and WRs who can run crisp routes, neither of which he had in Denver. He had Courtland Sutton, whom he had to turn into a decent receiver, and part-time guy Marvin Mims, whom Sean Payton kept in a limited role because he was trying to tank.
This bullsh!t about Russ not being able to process needs to stop! I’ve personally seen that disproven under Schottenheimer and Waldron, and the Seahawks were excited to have Russ return for the 2022 season before Russ blindsided them by forcing his way out of Seattle.
Furthermore, this narrative that Russ couldn’t run Payton’s offense makes no logical sense, given that threee obviously inferior QBs (Bridgewater, Winston, and Hill) were able to run it, and a lesser talented one (Brees) won a SB and had consistent success with it.
Sean Payton floated that narrative out there because he wanted to tank and needed people to believe Russ was the problem. The truth is that Payton just couldn’t stand Russ because of Russ’s personality: eternally optimistic and positive. He didn’t want Russ. He was also following ownership’s orders to move up in the draft to try to get Caleb Williams.
At some point during the 2023 season, Payton had to be looking at Russ like, “Ate you kidding me? This guy is unbelievable! I have tried every trick in the book to suppress his stats (forcing him to check down, limiting Marvin Mina’s P-T), and he’s still efficient after and leading Gabe-winning drives.
Payton lost 5 very winnable games to open the season, disrespected Russ at every turn, and then tried to bait Russ into an altercation on national television that would’ve allowed the Broncos to petition to void his contract. HREW the New England game.
The dude has just one expression, and all five of them scare people (joke, if you couldn’t tell). Russ could handle his offense just fine.
If Mahomes had been in Denver in 2022, he would’ve looked worse than Russ did, because Mahomes can’t play under pressure. We saw THAT this year and in SB55. If he had been in Denver in 2023, Payton would’ve opened up the book for him. Now, we are talking about #15, a QB who was so NFL un-ready that he sat the bench as a rookie b/c he was incapable of reading defenses or beating out Alex Smith, of all QBs.
Russ started as a true rookie and nearly led his team to a SB that year. The LoB blew that, btw, which people seem to forget.
Quit listening to average QBs (e.g., Hugh Millen) and failed QBs (e.g., Chris Simms)!
If they were nearly as smart and as proficient as they make themselves out to be, they would’ve had much better careers. A poor or middle-class person cannot tell someone how to be rich!
A poor or average QB cannot tell a QB how to be elite, which Russ has been his whole career, btw.
And let’s not get into blowhards like Nick Wright, who is just a Mahomes and Chiefs fanboy (and certified Russ-hater) predicating every NFL take on his desire for the Chiefs to win it all every year, and Mahomes to win the MVP every year and become what he THINKS will make Mahomes the so-called GOAT.
Wright couldn’t be objective if he was sitting at a fork in the road with equal benefits to both paths.
Yeah, this is bullsh!t. Russ needs the pieces around him. Mahomes, Allen, and every other QB is allowed to have loaded teams on BOTH sides of the ball, and in special teams, but Russ has one overrated D that really only lasted for three of his 10 seasons in Seattle, and a RB who only lasted the sane, and people act like Russ was carried. He wasn’t! If anything, he carried THEM!
Fields will be the starter by week 5. Russ is cooked😂
Everyone who claims Russ is cooked uses a laugh emoji afterwards because they know they’re telling jokes! 😒
You WISH he was cooked. By week-5, Russ will be in the MVP conversation.
I still hear the same old the black quarterback is to dumb to play the position. But you put him behind the 29th, 26th, and 24th ranked pass blocking offensive line. While at the same time giving him a receiving corps where only two of his receivers have a drop rate of less than 13% and those two both had career highs in all three categories; catches, receiving yards and touchdowns. But, I know it’s all Fields fault. Sounds like scapegoating to me. Please keep your comments to yourself because I’m not interested in them. I’m just speaking my opinion and don’t care what anyone thinks; PERIOD!!!
Nobody cares what you think either, dude.
Always “ONE,” no response means no response; “STUPID.”
In other words, the nfl needs a minor league. College ball is not enough for most. Just look at the nba draft with just one year of college ball, the draft is a crap shoot.
That’s what the USFL, XFL, CFL, UFL, and other leagues are supposed to provide.
did he get plastic surgery?
That white boy sure has some white teeth. Are those dentures?
Most celebs get veneers
