And it's not just one flavor. Five hour energy shots bring you tasty caffeine in 17 flavors. 17.

Visit Wayfair.com or download the Wayfair app. Wayfair every style, every home. I don't think you can have three quarterbacks. You know what I mean? Trying to compete and sort this out. So as you're currently constructed, I think that it's got to be, you know, dish on and should or standards are going to have a competition to be the starting quarterback. That's what Todd Munkett has said. That's what I believe to be the case right now. And I think the Sean Washington is very much in that competition. Now, if you were to bring in another quarterback that you really thought had a legitimate chance to start, then I would say that somebody's got to go. That's Nathan with us. Just moments ago, Nathan Zagura, Brown's Radio Network Senior Analyst.
We're going to have ourselves fun during the draft issue. I can already tell with that wide receiver stuff, when it comes to the offensive line. More of that in just a moment. However, you know, he said, I mean, that's, that's some pretty strong stuff. He says someone's got to go. Someone's got to go. You, I got to tell you, I'm in my head right now trying to figure out which someone who has to go, who has to go. I would, I would, I would posit it would be, well, I just use a Nick Winnick Wilson term. I would guess it would be, would it be both two one? I can't, well, I can't even ask Dan the question. Quarterback only. Yeah, I'm really not including Dylan Gabriel in this. Someone's got to go. He's already, I got to go, right? Yes, I'm just making sure they can't see you can. I just did the Lyma to you. I'm not in my head if they watch us on YouTube. It's only it's a really annoying thing that he does. He just goes, oh, just that. And I'm like, what's the radio? We're on the radio. Lyma, it's the radio and I just did it to you. I'm sorry. Captivated by the YouTube chat room, I'm sure. I haven't looked at the YouTube chat in weeks.
Oh, that's dead to me. Are they still just arguing about Shedore? I don't know. I got on there and they were talking about anything but what we were talking about. Okay, that's fine. Okay. Well, you can watch it live on YouTube live. Go on in there. It's free. The complication, the best sales pitch for the people in there. Go ahead, Darryl. The complication is you can't get rid of the shot. Like you just, from a roster management standpoint, you're stuck. So then Shedore goes. And I don't, so then it better, then let's stop. What's my other option? If you get rid of Shedore, almost cussed, sorry. Then what is my other option there? Who's the quarterback that replaces him? What is that why we're doing the Tys Simpson stuff? You said who replaces Shedore? Yeah, because if it is now why we're doing the Tys Simpson crap, I shouldn't call crap. You might, I'm sure he's a nice guy. Is that why we're doing it? I'm asking a question. No, I,
I'm, I honestly, I too, I too, I'm trying not to say mean things about Tys Simpson. Well, let's think about this. I mean, if they took Tys Simpson, hey, if they take Tys Simpson and he has to say it, say what? Said he's got to go. Yeah, I just say it. He's got, if they took Tys Simpson, Shedore's gone. Yeah, 100% yeah, I, and his fans would want him gone. I've said that on the Sunday. Fans have one. Yeah, you're right. The fans would want him gone. Yeah, him and Dylan gave her a go. Or I, well, no one else. Quarterbacks of currency will try to work a trade out. Yeah, if you're a fan of his and you care about him, you would not want him to be in that situation. No, I said if, by some miracle, the bronze ended up with Malik Willis, Shedore would have to go. If you, yes, if you ended up with Tys Simpson, if you ended up taking, he's your, he's your new investment. Yes. And you would start, you would start Dishon Watson this season. You'd let Ty, let's, let's, let's go through this exercise of something that I don't think a lot of people, I don't know, I listen to the station all day. I do a show on the station.
I haven't heard one F and collar call in saying they want Tys Simpson. The phone lines are wide open. We're not doing coming in hot today, because lime isn't your sorry. I don't like to do it. I, I, you did it last week. I texted him. I called him the outward. You, um, you had words for him. Yeah, one, one, two, I didn't call him the L word. What, what, one, two bad last week? Libertarian. Yes, it was all within the balance of good taste. You, but you got to keep within the balance. Yes, you did the boundaries of good taste. If you took, so if anybody wants Ty Simpson, guys, please tell me, let's, let's go through a scenario of taking a guy that it seems nobody in Cleveland actually wants. You take Ty Simpson, then we decide, then we start the argument of, should he start week one? Would he start week one? Then we're going to have this, this mind-numbing argument, because well, you don't take a guy in the first round. If you don't intend to start on week one, this, that and the other. But for all intents and purposes, how I would do it is that, all right, say you took Ty Simpson. Six seems to be just outrageous.
Say you traded up from 24 to 18, and he's there, and you took Ty Simpson, and I'm just going to pull my bottom lip over my face. Right. Okay. Then should or goes one way or the other, whether it be a trade or a cut, because fans are going to want him here. He ain't going to want to be here. Right. It would be, it would, this would be too many people. Your quarter-act rooms are only so big. There's too many people now. The Sean starts a season, and then eventually you think it's going to be Ty Simpson. Or you have, the Sean start the season, you have a guy in Ty Simpson, maybe Ty Simpson, because he's only got 15 games. Hey, everybody hates this term. You maybe it's like a quote-unquote red shirt year, because you still don't have a lot of weapons, man. I mean, last year was supposed to be a red shirt. You're depending who you talk to. Yeah, but then real life sets in. Just like real life would set in here. I understand by the end of October, it's not sooner. Because I was going to say, the odds of the Sean Watson playing, let's say he wins the quarterback competition.
He's your week one starter. The odds of him playing all 17-week games and finishing the season are infinitesimal. Yeah, you're right. Okay, let's be honest. And that's not me hating on the Sean. That's just a reality. This guy hasn't played a full season since what, 2020? Yeah. Yeah, so I certainly am not going to sit here and expect that he's going to go through a full football schedule for a franchise that typically needs three and four of these guys just to get to January. Just this isn't going to happen. Yeah. Okay, again, I can't get anybody to sit there and argue with me about Tyson Simpson. And then Jimmy Haslund will probably get up during training camp and say, well, you know, Todd understands the assignment and we definitely need to see the young kid by the end of the season. Well, Pelicero, you know, he reports, because you know, it allegedly is the big thing. Yeah, Pelicero reports that he was in town yesterday. Browns are doing their quote unquote, do diligence, which is, God, I hate the term. But either way, they're doing their do diligence. And they, and guys, they probably should. I mean, we look, nobody's out of the woods with the quarterback.
You know, there's two reasons why they talk to these kids, right? Tell me what they are. One, it's your own homework on them. Oh, yeah. And then second, in case you end up having to play them, you got the book on them. Yes. Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. You say you actually trade, you put, took them and you brought them in here. That's where it goes. I don't think I don't believe any of this stuff. Does anybody believe that they're really interested in Tyson's and is that seriously? I don't know if I've ever been so sure of something in my entire life. Record this and maybe I'm going to look like an idiot on April 24th. Record it. I'm serious. I don't know if I've ever been so sure. That's, that goes with the Sam Darnold conversation, which is a scary conversation, because again, I was told in the Sam Darnold stuff that they were taking Sam Darnold famously was used as a Patsy. I don't believe they're taking Tyson's and in the first round. Certainly not. They need a quarterback, obviously, that a lot of people do. I don't, I think we should just roll on with this,
which everybody's saying I'm saying the tank without tanking. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying you're not ready to make that type of investment in that guy. And I don't think that any of the guys that are out there, one, are going to be good enough to raise this boat, two, I don't think any of them are picking you. You're better off sticking with Shredor. Yes, and try to see what you can get out of him. And I hate to say this because I don't want to put Nathan in a weird spot. I'll go ahead and say this as well. It's the same damn thing with AJ Brown. You think AJ Brown is going to just sit there and accept and be happy about a trade of the Cleveland. If we pay him a boatload of money, he'll be happy for a little bit. Just like Jerry Judy was happy for a little bit. And Odell back him. And Odell back him. Junior was happy for a little bit. This is not the place training camp of one handed catches. And that'll be it. They've made a change. It had coach. I understand that. But this hasn't been the place to resurrect careers. Now this has been the place where they go to die. The one change I think can be taken is that they did talk trash about driver's laundry out the door in Miami.
However, Miami, I don't think is a place that really goes to resurrect places that has great culture. So I mean, you're right there in both. But driver's laundry was fantastic for this football team. I'm aren't Cooper. They talk trash about him out the door. I still think that he was better off without the Dallas Cowboys. And I think I let even a lot of Cowboys fans would agree with me on that one, considering the way they are down there. And for two years, he was outstanding here. And absolutely. And they know when to give up on him. Sad to say like a Mari Cooper. And again, his manicures are fantastic. I don't believe any of this stuff about Tyson Simpson. I think you go into the season with Shedore. But again, it comes down to Sean Watson. And if you had an actual open competition with a 60-year-old head coach whose job it is to win, how are you going to start that year? I think if we're all being honest with each other, and we're not doing from what you just said, or it's like, hey, you don't really want to. This is attorney Amida Zari from Zari Law.

You know, you can't cut Deshan Watson now. You're stuck with the guy. Really trade him because of the ramifications that come with the cap. Like you said, you really want Shudor to win that job. So if you're gaming the system, maybe Shudor wins the job. If not, I got a severe, severe concern that it would end up being Deshan Watson winning that job. 2.6474 to below 92. Think of the number six pick like food. If it looks good and it smells good, you're going to like it. Can Carmen the dangerous one? In for Lyma on the fan. This is attorney Amida Zari from Zari Law.
