Jordan Schultz NFL Insiders on speak today at 5 Eastern on FS1 as always my man great to see you brother so I I want to talk about um you know Caleb Williams as I said there he's got more 100 passer ratings than momes and more yards per game than Kyler and Herbert the coaching search are they look are they looking Jordan offense are they looking Vel defense toughness where is the radar here so if you think about Caleb Williams this year he's overcome fired coach fired offensive coordinator debacle late game situations I start to think
about the Bears and I think why not go offense and invest the way we should have six months ago remember not only did Jim Harbaugh want that job but as I reported six months ago Kevin Warren squashed it he basically said Jim Harbaugh you will not be here our relationship is going to prevent that okay so they ended up going with Shane rald as the offensive coordinator and they kept Matt eberl the whole thing was completely screwed up and backwards they were Chicago the first team Colin to hire an offensive coordinator who did they bring
in Waldren who did they interview Cliff kingsbery having a great year Liam Cohen and Tampa great year Zack Robinson pretty good year with with Kirk in Atlanta if I'm the if I'm the Chicago Bears I want to invest in the position that we've invested in more than anything else not only did we draft Caleb one we drafted Keenan Allen or we drafted Roman dunesday we brought in Keenan Allen we we traded for DJ MO this is about Caleb and I think about all the success he had at SC on the field when he won the
Heisman I think about Oklahoma some of the issues he's had over the last month Colin he's been arguably the best fourth quarter quarterback the talent is there the question we had was whether or not the maturity was there I think he's done a pretty good job from the press conferences we haven't heard anything bad remember there was the stuff about the dog uh the stuff about his paint in Nails will any of this be issue no he's been great he really has and that tells me also if I'm a Bears fan all we need is
the right coach they have to get it right but if they do this is our franchise for the next decade plus so I I'm excited about where Caleb's at I think he's persevered in a way that's really impressive and I think most importantly is the maturity has been there so Sam darnold jmck and I get into this I think they're going to move off him but this if this team ends up like 13 and four uh it it's you know JJ McCarthy looked good but he's young he may not be as athletic as darnold and
he's coming off an injury what are they going to do if they win the division with darnold so Sam's been great and I know you were really high on him before the year I wasn't necessarily as high he's been in the MVP conversation for at least half the season I think it's going to be extremely difficult for Minnesota to retain him because of the year he's had in my opinion he's probably going to Garner somewhere along the lines of what Baker Mayfield got three years 100 million yeah which is probably Fair considering his age he's
still pretty young and what he's shown on tape this year it's also important that he's worked with Kevin okono whose system has been mirrored a lot across the league so you can plug and play Sam right away he's a smart guy he gets it I think it's very realistic as well even if they win the division that Sam would walk and that they would have JJ McCarthy under that cheap rookie contract coming back from his second knee surgery he's been doing great apparently he's a schedule I've been told and then you bring back Daniel Jones
because Daniel Jones went there as I reported in large part because of his relationship dating back to the pre-draft process with KOC so that relationship is there and then you allow Jones and McCarthy to fight it out for the number one job next uh next fall but I think both of those guys McCarthy and Jones would be a really good one-two punch because at the very least you'd have a Young quarterback under a cheap deal who you believe in you drafted in the first round and then Jones who also would be inexpensive all right so
bellich the best coach on the market last year it was Harbaugh went to the Chargers has turned them around also Shawn pyton uh you know two years ago was the best coach in the market he's turned Denver around so I guess Bill could do it what do you hear on Bill I think bill has been very calculated Colin yes with his media yes it's no coincidence that he bashes the Jets he hates the Jets yes no love loss between him and Woody Johnson he doesn't like the Patriots he bashes them he knows he's not going
to the Jets and he knows he's not going back to the Pats exactly but it's been made clear to me that bill bich still wants the coach okay I don't think anybody really knows what he sees full control or not I know it's important to him but how important will we'll have to find out there are three teams I'm going to give you Jacksonville number one he would have essentially full operating control there because of the owner in shodon it's a pretty good roster with a quarterback MH you think about number two this is interesting
to me Dallas Mike McCarthy's they've they've won a couple straight but it's also really important to note that McCarthy does not have a contract after this season also Dak dak's contract is punitive absolutely and if he go if Bill were to go to Dallas let's say they move on from McCarthy they say we're not going to bring you back bill has a very good relationship with both Steph and Jerry Jones so even if he doesn't have the same level of control that he had in Jacksonville that he would have he would have enough of a
relationship predicated on trust where he could say I like what you did here let's do this differently here and Bill likes Dak he likes Dak number three Tampa Bay now they're tied for first right now but if they don't make the playoffs and should they move on from Todd BS bich was with Jason light the Bucks GM in Tampa yeah and he really liked Baker Mayfield coming out of the draft in fact there were Rumblings that bill was going to move up for Baker but eventually Baker goes one and that became out of the question
but if you think about the Bucks job Tampa Dallas and I would even AR argue Jacksonville with the right coach are competitive teams good rosters so um and one more note about Dallas you know Bill had Lawrence Taylor he he's always said like Lawrence Taylor is the best player I've ever seen not just defensive he might be the best player I've ever seen he could kind of I could see him wanting to say to Michael Parsons you're my modern day Lawrence Taylor I'm going to build this defense build this team around you so there's a
lot to like about having bill bich in your building it has to be the right fit but I would look at Jacksonville Tampa and Dallas as potential options so I've made the argument that the Giants the New York Giants have several components that Super Bowl teams need to have great left tackle offensive coach star weapon Edge rusher dominant defensive tackle they need to upgrade the running back room and quarterback my opinion I've seen too much of Joe Shane on HBO other things I don't trust him where are they go I think D B should be
retained I do I think again I like the left tackle I like neighbors I like tiido I like Dexter Lawrence there's about five things here I love running back quarterback get another weapon yeah is deo going to survive so it's been made very clear to me that Brian debal is coaching for his job wow yes yes and I think over the next five weeks I heard jmck Jet fan uh I over think over the next five weeks this is going to be determined what happens with Brian and I would even argue that Joe shanee has
to survive the next five weeks I don't know if he's in the same level of Hot Seat but remember it was only a few years ago that John Mara came out and said Joe judge is safe they fired him two weeks later yeah okay so Brian dbal is a really good offensive coach I think we we learned that in Buffalo the problem is they've had very little to no success and if you're Joe Shane you've talked a lot about the offensive line and Hard Knocks it wasn't just saquin letting him go the offensive line stunk
this year and Evan Neil first round pick top seven hasn't played he's a Miss hasn't played uh Kon tibo hasn't played a lot they they it's just it's a really good job it's the New York Giants it's a Tempo organization got pieces they do but if you're Joe Shane not only did you let saquin walk out the door but you gave dein single ter your backup running back 7 million bucks you gave Drew lock your backup quarterback who actually was in number three five million bucks you let Xavier McKinna walk out the door he is
second right now and defensive player of the year odds needs the NFL with seven picks the Giants now have 11 straight games calling without an interception that's bro that broke an NFL record you let Julian love go in free agency he was a pro bow last year in Seattle Rock Solid you let Leonard Williams go you traded him he was the defensive player of the year of the week last no Shane Shane to me you can't retain so but I would argue that Joe and Brian in many ways because they both came from Buffalo are
together so I don't know realistically if one goes can you keep the other but I do believe as it's been made clear to me Brian's coaching for his job and I think Joe needs to survive the Giants need to be competitive these next five weeks without question for both of them let's be quick on this one then I'll get to the Packers Bryce young I think has earned another year absolutely absolutely and Colin when when Bryce young was benched I was told he's going to get another shot Andy Dalton gets hurt Bryce comes back and
over the last few weeks this has been the Bryce young number one pick out of Alabama yeah the fact that he has resurrected his career that quickly without Elite Talent tells me all I need to know yeah I spoke with a defensive coordinator who played him last year and said all you had to do was attack him he panicked we're not seeing that Panic now in fact we're seeing Bryce young eyes downfield very confident chest puffed out looks like a number one quarterback looks a lot like CJ stra did last year easy thrower accurate moves
well absolutely and I give Carolina Dan Morgan the GM a lot of credit for not panicking and giving up on the kid yeah they brought him back or they gave him that opportunity they invested a lot in their offensive line Robert hun and Damen Lewis the two guards y they have they they they re up with chuba hubard they have Jonathan Brooks two young backs they drafted Legette they like him a lot so if you're the Panthers I think you know now definitively we have our franchise quarterback he's a great kid they love him in
that locker room and most importantly you have now seen it on the field this is the Bryce young of Alabama this is a definitive Cornerstone yeah Dan Morgan's going to make some waves I like him my guys like him a lot yeah finally Packers uh I've said this I feel like they're the best team in the league that can't win a Super Bowl am I wrong okay so I would push back and say is it because you don't believe in the defense the the coaching they're just a bit young whereas the Eagles the Lions the
Chiefs and the bills have more elite players in their Prime I feel like all their best players are moving into their Prim do you feel like Green Bay is maybe Detroit last year yes they're a year away yep okay so that's that's reasonable I'd say the counter to that is they started really slow and and Jordan love started really slow last year same with this year he gets hurt over the last three weeks Jordan love is number one in every major statistical category including EPA per play and touchdown percentage so he's playing Jordan love over
the last few weeks is the best quarterback in football yep he was last year at the end of the year and they brought the Josh Jacobs move was tremendous the the Xavier mckin move was tremendous yeah well the Packers have always been so good with personnel and and they really nailed it this year the defense has been good not great but good so I look at Green Bay and I think this team's peing at the right time yes they have a quarterback who is awesome stretch he's on a heater great deal of confidence and listen
I haven't been like over the last couple years I've said well Matt lefur could have done this could have done that Matt lefur is undoubtedly one of the five best coaches in football right now no and you know they they've become a Power run team at times and that's the Josh Jacobs effect yes and that's what's really important this is what Buffalo always has missed it's like it starts snowing can you Baltimore can power run Philadelphia can Detroit can Buffalo can now Green Bay can absolutely five teams in this league Isaiah Peko gives Kansas City
a chance to do that yeah and if you think about if you think about Green Bay the HomeField advantage to your point about Buffalo it's similar cold nasty you don't want to tackle Josh Jones or J uh Josh Jacobs is that type of running back he gets stronger he's he has that kind of Derk Henry saquin element where third fourth quarter you don't want to tackle him particularly in the cold so if Green Bay can somehow get a number one or number two seed then they really are in a position of strength come come play
off time I I like the team I hear what you're saying they might be a year away but because of the quarterback and the head coach I do believe you are not a year away you keep crushing it and we love having you in studio buddy uh Jordan Schultz by the way one of our favorite players Dion Dawkins before the end of the show do you know Dion love Dion in fact I was here when he was here last summer I think it was where I was JM seat when JM I think JM was in
