Before I say anything about this (awesome) article, I want to say thanks for the outstanding conversation with Mike Renner of PFF. Up until 10 days ago I couldn't tell you who Renner was, but PFF YouTube videos of him and his Odd Couple partner Austin Gayle are every bit as fantastic as you said in the podcast and Renner has quickly become my favorite draft expert. When a guy will say on air, regarding Richie Grant at the Senior Bowl practices, that "every other Safety looked like shit in 1 on 1s" then he's my guy. Also, "off platform arm talent" in describing Zach Wilson to you was a gem. And his Draft Guide is every bit as good as you say as well. So thanks for the terrific podcasts!

Funny that you mention Bridgewater as a possibility to come back to Minnesota because I'm watching Gayle and Renner right now talking about how much offensive talent Carolina has and how they shot themselves in the foot getting Bridgewater. Fascinating because:

a) Is Carolina a legitimate trade partner for Cousins if they lose out on the top 4 QBs in the draft?

b) They point out that getting Teddy was a big mistake for Carolina, so mediocre that he can't use all that talent to get you to even .500 as a team, but also not bad enough for you to lose 14 games...Honesty about Teddy, thank you Austin and Mike.

c) Forget the fantasy trades to the Niners or the Colts, this in the new number one. If the trade happens we're out from under Cousins' contract, Teddy is bad enough to go 4-12 with this team to get a top 5 pick for a QB in 2022, and that record gets Mike Zimmer canned. That's a Win-Win-Win.

There's so much more great stuff in your article to get to, especially the whole thing on achieving a playoff caliber points differential, but I'll spare you the full phone book tonight. Thanks again.

Matthew, I subscribed because I respect your work, guests and perspective but I’m growing weary of the KC narrative as an almost constant theme. I get it but I need more than one story line if I’m to renew. Thanks for your strong efforts.
